So alcohol really is the explanation

lmao it definitely doesn't help!

I definitely feel as old as Auron looked and I'm 35 rn

The counterpoint to Yanited is they are up against Mateball and Good Ebening. Emery has bottled top four before and Tottenham in general have never met a situation they couldn't throw away. So Yanited have every chance to scam top four yet again.

Even fucking 0-0 going back to London wasn't the end of the world.

But the absolute lack of maturity involved to concede a goal like that, the way we did.

That clownshow Raya, trying to start what ended up being our 100th failed quick counter of the night. Declan Rice our record signing backing off and watching the shooter line up his strike, after Saka and or Odegaard and or Martinelli gave the ball away for the thousandth mf time.

I'm absolutely fuming. All they had to do was just chill and be mature for 30 seconds and we go back to London with everything to play for. Now we're down 1-0 and if we thought the terrorball from Porto was bad this game, it'll be even worse next time. God forbid we screw up and concede first at the Emirates.

One of the worst performances of the season capped off by allowing a silly goal right at the end. 0 shots on target.

Thanks, Arsenal. So glad I took today off of work to watch.

For the first time in seven years, Arsenal will play in a Champions League knockout fixture.

I'm emotional. I'm so emotional. And nervous. And excited. COME ON YOU GUNNERS

I just picked it up for the first time in over a year to fool around. Zipped around the world to get my Reduvia to +9 without beating any main bosses. Maybe I'll use this as my DLC character - but I have several that can conceivably work.

Oh, and I do actually have a file specifically dedicated to this DLC - it has every single site of grace and unique item pickup (apart from super low drop rate weapons) through the snow area, but I didn't trigger any point of no return stuff just in case.

They really do give you Reduvia SUPER early for such an obscenely busted weapon

Villa fan checking in

good ebening

At least they didn't run up their goal diff and they still look a bit off it offensively. Hoping they don't find form just when their tougher fixtures come in March.

City are so annoyingly inevitable.

Brentford are in serious danger of being dragged into the relegation scrap tbh

I'm on board with that ranking tbh

Atletico Inter will be a defensive snoozefest unless Inter get an early goal.

Also I cannot tell you how tortuous it is constantly checking the City gamecast, getting my hopes up as it stays 0-0, but knowing in my heart of hearts we're gonna see something like '45 De Bruyne to have my hopes dashed.

Champions League today.

Inter vs. Atletico (yawn, Simeone away champions league terror ball)

PSV vs Dortmund (should be entertaining football)

City are obviously going to squash Brentford who have completely lost all their quality from last season

(please do take points off Sp*rs though that's always very funny.*

You're absolutely safe as far as the League goes, but it's such a waste to have gotten into such a good position and then throw it away.

But anyway after dealing with West Ham supporters all summer during the Rice transfer saga I am well and truly over that club.

Of course Liverpool are still in Europe! That's what I get for looking quickly at their fixture list on ESPN. That would be a great final for your reasons mentioned, especially if Leverkusen were to pull it out. "And here's your new coach, the team that denied you a European trophy".

also I had that happen to me when I was looking at Brighton's fixtures. This round of the Europa league is the weird one where the second placed group teams all face the third places UCL group teams so Liverpool and Brighton and Leverkusen all don't have an opponent yet lol

I have a weird stance on this because obviously we're both Americans so it's hard to call either of us "true fans" in comparison to folks that live in England and I am always of the opinion that you should support who you want to.

But you have to have some self-awareness about it, and it seems like you do. I will never knock anyone's fandom as long as they're watching and supporting every week win or lose.

Super disappointing, but losing like that to Real Madrid absolutely broke them.

What's even more disappointing is that Barcelona will get another farcical easy walk to top four and Champions League money. They live such a charmed life that Athletico are useless and won't get their shit together enough to take it from them. A year of no CL money would absolutely break them financially (and get Frenkie De Jong over to Arsenal where he belongs).

also sorry in advance when the inevitable tottenham fan comes in here and is put off by my condescension but I am not capable of behaving rationally about that club.

That club which despite winning the premier league in October, are now only 2 points ahead of where they were with Antonio Conte last season.

Maniac64 posted...

And yes! Any time they beat one of the Top teams it always feels great.

well as a former Arsenal fan seeing Sp*rs miserable should've been even better but I get what you mean.

Still can't believe "title challenging" Mateball shipped 6 points to Wolves this year but I guess that's just who they are, Mate.

FFDragon posted...

down with all of the big six

which of the six did you like the least?

I'm guessing the Rice banger hurt the most... :)

There's a sort of apathy when it comes to City's success in that it's obviously not earned nearly as much with the other clubs, so if you're a rival fan you can write it off as less meaningful. Where-as if Arsenal or Liverpool win the league, their success is directly put into your face as a sort of "well, they did it so why can't you?"

The way City have manufactured their success in a way that isn't replicable by anyone else on the planet makes it this way and it's why last year you had Yanited fans cheering for them to replicate their treble and EPL three-peat in lieu of Arsenal winning the league.

I will, however, not fall into that trap. I would rather Liverpool take the league than ever see that fraudulent oil outfit win anything else with that bald fraud Guardiola and their 115 charges.

I would love for Arsenal to win the League but I don't trust them

They were the team I started off following and supporting but then I become more of a Wolverhampton fan (just before they dropped down multiple leagues lol). So Arsenal is still my number 2 team to support.

leaving Arsenal to join Wolves has to be one of the more bizarre fan choices to make, but this weekend you must've been really REALLY happy hahah

Rasmus Hoijlund is literally the only likable player United have had in the last ten years somehow. I feel bad that he's there and felt bad for him when he was having his struggles in the league.

Hopefully he maintains this sort of scoring form when they go to the Etihad!!

Big ups to Copenhagen. Even against City the other night they did themselves proud. They were electric in the group stage and gave all of us lots of joy in how they handled Yanited lmao.

Arsenal's draw for the CL, a lot of people said it was a favorable one, but I'm not sure. This is a HUGE moment for the club, and the manager whose record in Cups, especially European ones, is not good. Porto have a ton of pedigree in this competition. But this is absolutely a tie we should be winning. Throw the recent form out the window because I think this one will be tough. I'd love a nice 1-0 professional away win to keep the momentum going into Saturday when the Toon come to the Emirates. I want to fucking DESTROY them so bad and we'll need to keep winning in the league. Have to win every league match up until the City game to see where we're at.

Seanchan posted...

I've been a City fan since I started watching in 2010, so I'm certainly rooting for them to get across the line again.

I'm going to refrain from being mean to you over this even though it's VERY hard hahah.

For watching EPL games that are on USA, I use Fubo TV. It's obviously expensive, but it also lets you watch a good amount of the Champions League games as well.

What I do, is I pay for my own Fubo TV sub, which gets me the Prem games, UCL games, and also NFL games that are nationally televised, then I use a friend's Peacock sub for the other Prem games I need and my one buddy has Paramount+ which I've only needed one time this season.

And Liverpool don't have UCL games, but they're in the Europa League and are the odds on favorite to win that competition. Klopp will want to go out with another European trophy as well. I think a Liverpool vs Leverkusen final, perhaps featuring Klopp vs Alonso as his potential replacement, would be PHENOMENAL television.

It's far from the worst, but I've always felt the FFX basic battle theme was super overrated and slow and you hear it SO MUCH

Crazy title race coming down the stretch. Champions League heating up. I know there are footie fans on the board so I figured we could talk about things.

Who do you all think will win the Premier League this year? Obviously City are favorites just because they always feel so inevitable. Arsenal are playing lights out football right now, but no one knows if they can keep it up down the stretch. Liverpool... they feel like that have to do it with this being Klopp's last year and they're ahead now, but the injuries for them are piling up as well as the fixtures.

How can I not mention the Harry Kane curse? Bayern have absolutely fallen apart, they're 8 points behind in the Bundesliga and trailing in their CL tie (though they play at home in the second leg so I expect they'll turn that around).

I am SHOCKED Tuchel is still there with the way they're playing but for Kane to go there and Bayern not win a trophy for the first time in like 30 years would be hysterical. You can take the lad out of Tottenham... etc

Bizarre for the 49ers to fire their Defensive coordinator who basically dominated the Chiefs for 4 quarters.

And not Shanahan who didn't have his team prepared for super bowl overtime and just in general is a massive fucking loser of a coach and person.

"not if Tyreek leaves"

You guys just don't get it.

lmfaoooo

"The Dallas Cowboys have traded Dak Prescott and a 6th round pick to CBS Broadcasting... for TOM BRADY"

Coming out of retirement was so out of pocket for Tom.

This man had his kid mess up one single post route throwing it around in the backyard and was on the phone with Tampa immediately like "I got another one in me"

Brady could sacrifice paychecks because he was married to someone who made more than him. Mahomes is getting paid plenty.

As a Tim Duncan stan, I'm all for praising the guys who take less to make the team better, but I also don't besmirch those who want the money.

I'm not dogging it, get paid if that's what you're after. I'm more-so talking from the perspective of the new team throwing out that huge new contract. What type of mentality are they really getting?

GranzonEx posted...

Well the game was a lot different back then. And he didn't have Moss/Welker/Gronk yet. For that era he was exceptional given his weapons. I do agree Mahomes takes over games.

I mean he did lead the game winning drive on both the Rams and the Panthers right at the end so in a way he did.

But the pick 6 is really what got you the Rams game v.v

People bring up the fact that the Vikings got Justin Jefferson with the pick the Bills traded him and I'm like "yeah but now he's being a fucking malcontent for money off the back of an injury riddled season. This is a push basically"

And obviously, we're talking about a negligible difference when these guys are all multi-millionaires anyway.

This is why some players/teams only succeed a little. It's why Brady is the best ever. He was willing to sacrifice some money for his legacy by letting his team add talent at the expense of his own contract. Mahomes did something similar. Elite mentality players will do this.

Players without elite mentality will be like HURRRRR paycheck and then go sign with Cleveland or the Jets.

Aecioo posted...

it says he likes money?

More than winning.

I want guys who like winning more than anything.

GranzonEx posted...

Brady did well in both the Panthers and Eagle 1.

Football is a brutal sport. Playing more playoff games can have a toll on the body that carries over. One or two injuries and your season can derail. If Mahomes makes it to the SB he wins without question unless the NFC team has BB level DC.

Yeah Brady was fine, but he wasn't taking the game by the scruff of the neck and winning it for his team like Mahomes does almost every time. Usually his defenses were elite and stepping up to help him.

The Chiefs could pull the three of us having this conversation right now in for WR depth and probably win the SB

And yeah like I said, the only way I understand it is if you get PAIDDDD. But again, I don't know if I want to give a big money contract to a guy who left a perfect organization. What does that say about his mentality?

anyone who entertains leaving KC for anything other than a life changing contract offer is an unserious athlete whose mentality isn't good enough for whatever team they go to.

Why would you leave that organization? Anyone who makes that choice for their career should already be having scans for CTE

god the Bills and that Von Miller contract

what the fuck were they thinking

and then they got an absolute get out of jail free card with his legal issues and they decided to keep playing him?!! Christ.

I think they could cut Stef Diggs after June 20th and get out of that contract without a cap hit, but they don't have the balls to do that

Mahomes and Reid feel like they're just getting started because the first few wins Brady got were pretty much because he didn't turn the ball over and had an elite defense every time.

Mahomes' defense is just getting good for the first time. They feel inevitable for a while.

Leonhart4 posted...

And if the Bengals actually provide some semblance of pass protection on their last offensive play they win that Super Bowl.

to be fair, they were far from the only offensive line that post season that couldn't stop Aaron Donald

Brady fr went a whole decade without winning one???

That seems fake. It felt like he was in a SB every other year for like 20 straight years lmao

Burrow is pretty good but what is your metric for "prove it in the playoffs" because he's won just as many super bowls as josh has and eye test says Josh has played just as well if not better in their combined limited experience.
