It’s not really our rivalry is it? It’s all confected by a minority of their supporters to justify why their teams performance over the last 50 years hasn’t matched the expectations arising from a misplaced sense of entitlement. For avoidance of doubt, I,m agreeing with you 😃 Not that they will...

Hard to disagree

I think I have said elsewhere that this biting the hand that feeds you (to use the vernacular and despite relatively small numbers involved - but that number can certainly cause some disproportionate death and injury. Can you imagine the headlines and pixelated pictures and videos of victims...

I don’t think the Luton head coach was showing triumphalism, I think it was nastier than that. The fact is they could have invested in a couple of better players which may have made reliance on black arts (aka cheating) less of a necessity. Instead they are supposedly investing in a new stadium...

Wembley is brilliant when it’s an exception. Frankly, familiarity has bred contempt. Overall I didn’t enjoy the FA semifinal, VAR completely fucked it up for me. It was very expensive and the outcome will be unaffected by me attending or not. Torp putting the ball in the net was a fantastic...

His last match interview - he isn’t going to let people forget where we were in the table when he took up the head coach role. Can’t blame him for that else one day people will be trying to diminish his achievement. I am getting a bit pissed off that he seems to be trying to insinuate a role in...

Surely he will be in London?

And some will seek to take advantage. If they don’t want to accept and live in and by our culture, fuck off. Don’t plan to attack a significant celebration and memorial. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/may/04/uk-arrests-five-men-including-four-iranians-over-suspected-terrorist-plot

I won’t be able to go to Wembley this year any way for health reasons. I’m not sure I would have gone this time, already been 4 times in 7 years. It’s not a particularly novel or exceptional experience any more, just an expensive one and a long day with the potential for extreme disappointment...

Us Only Out of those two 😊

Would have to ignore the goal line technology then!

Easiest to describe as an “in-topic” where someone had an offer of an interview for a dream jobat a bike and hardware store called Halfords at the exact time of the match on Saturday. Unbleivably they were asking this forum for advice as to whether to be unavailable for the interview and go to...

It’s not the supporters, it’s the coaching staff and players. Not good enough so they are happy to cheat creating problems and negative consequences for fellow professionals and then revelling in it. Hence schadenfreude when the aim of their tactics goes awry.

The confirmation bias was pretty obvious very early on. There seemed to be nothing that King could have said which would have been viewed as valid reasoning. I wonder if they have eaten some humble pie given the possibility, nay probability, of another Wembley trip surely has totally justified...

Headed a goal bound shot off his goal line and scored his shoot out penalty. Well done him.

Why don’t they just make that sort of “obstruction” illegal. being able to book goalies who are being impeded is a bit “cake and eat it”. It’s bound to piss of the goalie, presents an opportunity for confrontation. Wilson was delaying his kick but also trying to get the ref to shift the...

I can’t take that as anything other than you acknowledging, however reluctantly, that Lampard has done a good job. Nothing to suggest that Robins would have achieved the same outcome.

Are you still convinced?

Looks like it was a top 6 deck after all.

Saving himself for the big games.
