Quite aside from the pointless mismatch of this "spectacle", the atmosphere in the arena over there is flatter than Neil Shipperly's armchair. Practically zero feedback from the crowd, no cheers, no roars when the punches landed. Most of the arabs sitting ringside were on their phones half the...
Embarrassing for Fury, that. AJ has just walked through a bloke inside 2 rounds who put Fury on his arse, took him the distance, and only lost because it was clearly rigged.
Despite the nonsense Eddie Hearn was spouting just now about Joshua now being "the baddest man on the planet", it doesn't...
Sorry, but it cracked me up that you could only get a CHILDS crutch. That must've been an awkward and challenging hobble to the stadium. Fair play to you and your mate :clap2:
Yeah I totally agree with that. Sure we could've had some poxy little club nobody could even point to on a map, much less pronounce, in some poky little ground and we'd have had a better chance of progressing. But it was FAR more exciting rubbing shoulders with European royalty, genuinely famous...
Jim Shite is the biggest brown-tongue in the entire media business. He can't say Martin Keown without saying "Arsenal Invincible" (played in 10 games), and is almost always on the brink of fellating Simon under the desk. He sucks up to everyone, the bloke just cannot help himself. The...
Agreed.
WHU had Freiburg, Olympiacos, TSC Backa Topola (then Freiburg again, ridiculously)
Liverpool had Toulouse, Union SG, LASK (then Sparta P)
Fair to say we had 3 teams in our group that EVERYONE had at least heard of, with a far greater standing in European competition. Then drew last...
We'll have to agree to disagree then. Topping that group in our inaugural season in Europe was, I think, an impressive achievement and one I will be forever proud of. Sorry to see you're a bit "meh" about the whole European tour thing.
With UK bookies perhaps - they're always stingy with the odds for domestic punters.
As a team of european virgins, topping that group after losing the first game was an incredible effort, I don't care how much european football you watch.
Ajax, Marseille and AEK are all seasoned, experienced European clubs. They literally play just about every season in Europe - and you think that was an EASY group for us ?
Blimey.
Who have we kept hold of lately ? We got an extra couple of months out of Mac and Caceido, but we knew they were gone. It's just where we are.
We've had some great under the radar kids who are looking the biz. But I'm just feeling a little bit despondent right now on where we'll be come August...
I'll be there, but I'm absolutely sick that this is a dead rubber. REALLY sick. All I wanted was for it to be a proper tie, still alive. But no, like the Tory abolition of Worcester crisps, I've got the middle finger again.
This season is fizzling out like a Roman candle soaked in piss.
By "we won't get plundered in the summer", are you not expecting incoming bids for Mitoma, Adingra or Pedro ? I'm not saying we'll make it easy, but the fact is, we are a selling club.
That's just where we are in the foodchain. I'm fully braced for an overhaul this summer, on and off the pitch.
As a rule of thumb, I choose not to go to the Amex any more than is absolutely necessary. For that reason, I shall mostly be watching it in a Shoreham hostelry, probably followed by a dirty burger somewhere.
Good post, and its where I'm at. I'd rather he stay, but I'm bracing myself for a complete and utter BOREFEST over the coming months of will-he-won't-he. At least with Potter it was a case of crash bang wallop as Chelsea randomly "swooped" and gave him an immediate hard-on. He literally could...
