He was always going to get a good reception from the players by dint of not being Conte: a notable shitbag, huge disciplinarian and control freak. And Mourinho before that, as well, of course. I’ll ignore the Nuno bit cos it doesn’t suit my point.
Just treating people like humans makes for a...
It was an image of the foul, though.
I really don't entirely compute the whole 'they slowed it down and made it look worse!' argument - Jones's foot isn't controlled, it goes over the ball, and into the middle of Biss' shin and if his foot was planted he'd be proper knacked. Reckless. Play it at...
i absolutely bloody hate Pink Floyd, and have for years. I've tried, because i do have a bit of a thing for pretentious nonsense (i adore the Flaming Lips, and their album cover of DSOTM is the only Pink Floyd-related thing i own) so i've listened to early albums, mid period, late stuff...
Listen you, Liverpool are here to save everyone. They're here to rescue football via the medium of VAR and they're doing it all for everyone. They're like Captain Planet, only redder and more heroic. I for one am glad that We're Never Walking Alone and i am thinking of going to the King & Queen...
Thats what they do in Aussie Rules football in australia - men's game runs from march to late september, and the womens comp starts in early september and runs til early Dec. So just as the men's game is hotting up with playoffs, and the fans are keen to keep going to their weekend footy...
Congrats 👍 it was a great final, and thats always my first request- i'd have preferred Brisbane to win to be completely honest but you cant argue with the minor prem team winning the GF, its how its meant to happen. its a lot easier to put up with the Collingwood army when you're 12,000 miles...
Yes! i'll be up at dogshit o'clock, picking up three mates and heading round to another mate's house to give it a watch. Beers are chilling in the fridge as we speak! The first beer tends to be a bit tricky, but they're all absolutely fine after that :) got some sausages, bacon and oatcakes...
The GWS club song is magnificent, whatchoo talking about? i love it! Its the only 'new club' song that isnt dreadful!
great last quarter, and i'll be honest despite quite liking GWS, i wanted Collingwood to win for my own reasons: either we get 1st v 2nd in the grand final next week, and i l...
I know you want to bask in the glory of tonight - and so you bloody should, its magnificent! - but i wouldnt be too scared by Brisbane next week if i were you, they've such a record for shitting the bed at home in finals and the baggers are on a magnificent roll now.
Its already got shades of...
There was a huuuuge right wing movement at Chelsea (what? really? No!) in the late seventies and early eighties, they booed their own black players and refused to celebrate any goals scored by them. Paul Canoville was the first black player who came through their youth set-up and got absolutely...
I think these days they're planning on having five mins of extra time, and then if its still tied another five mins, etc etc . . . the tension if that happens in a grand final!
i know i'm a little biased perhaps, but coming to the sport unanointed, i cant imagine a single decent human taking the drug cheat shitbag weagle bastards ahead of the saintly, handsome, wonderful dockers :LOL:
I like Carlton, they’re old school but not wanky about it. Brilliant self destruction streak as well, this is their first finals appearance in a decade so you’re really not bandwagon jumping.
Have a look at Alex Jesualenko’s grand final mark from 1970, it’s basically one of the best sporting...
You've got a completely open field in terms of choosing who to support! Do you have a favourite aussie? find out who they barrack for. Tame Impala are Freo! Ange Postecoglou is a Carlton man! Do you irrationally hate Queensland? Dont pick Brisbane or the Gold Coast sides. Do you love blue n...
Misfiring, vulnerable, but they won - its a lovely habit to be in, particularly at the pointy end to the season!
they're so good at just getting over the line. Better to be a lucky team than a good one :p
