You mean Champions League final ?

It is good.. for fans like meLiverpool winning is never good for anything.
It’s funny, when I was a kid, everyone was a Man Utd fan.
You’d go to a birthday party and they’d all be running round in full Man Utd kits you’d see a handful of Wolves and Villa fans (my local teams), but 90% were Man Utd.
I went to one of those soft play places last year (actually really fun, those slides are fast as hell when you’re not 40lbs). But yeah, the number of kids running around in Man City kits was crazy. Never would’ve happened back in my day, they were in the 3rd division back then.
That’s my sentiment as well. Growing up I didn’t care for City much. And even now, I don’t care for them. We haven’t been in a title race against each other, maybe 2014 but Mourinho admitted it was dumb luck we even ended up in a title race because the squad wasn’t ready for it. The biggest game in both our histories in 2021, we ended up winning. They started hating us a lot but I still never cared. And even now after they’ve won all these PL’s, I still don’t care. They’re not a rival and if I had a choice I’d take them to win the Prem any day of the week.That's why I barely even take City seriously as a rival. Whenever people ask me why I prefer City over Liverpool when it comes to titles it is simple - because they weren't United's rival growing up. Liverpool was.
My United origin story is always funny to tell. I knew nothing about the club. History, wins, anything. They came to America in 2003 to play Barcelona in a friendly. It was right after Diego Forlan joined the team and they wondered if 6 million Euros was an outrageous figure/signing.
I really vibed with the name so I became a fan and never looked back. They have now given me more years of mince as a fan than glory. But I am still here. Little Fedpo would be proud. I don't claim to know the history or players like @Poisoned Slice - but my loyalty is unwavering. I have more than a few times wanted to buy a players shirt from another team and didn't allow myself to do it out of loyalty. I wanted the Lewandowski black and gold Bayern shirt. I wanted a Vini Jr/ Rudiger RM shirt. But I have not allowed myself to do it.
I always kind of chuckle when I read a United fan say a player isn't "big enough for United". It's like bros, we have been utter buttcheeks for the better part of eleven years. Maybe they are big enough for United
I'd love to return to the glory days for one reason and one reason only - to see the TTW United fans
You know it.You mean Champions League final ?
Excuse me while I buy the 95 Harry Mags card. Not sure if its legit but the guy selling me it can speak 20 languages.
Oh wow, we've even the 66 for defending. I will transfer the funds later.Want my PayPal details?
And yes, that is actually legit a 95 rated Harry Maguire striker card. I think it was Fifa 23. They also had a Cech one. He was running around doing rainbow flicks and Cruyff turns with his helmet on

I can only hope the Maguire ring-girls get shared with the December patch for Undisputed. Their community is upset because you can't download the 95 Maguire boxer to take on the Deontay Wilder spammers.Do you get his women included or is that a bonus DLC pack?
David Coote got caught sniffing lines. Lol
Taylor’s lucky he hasn’t come across me I’d absolutely batter the baldy up and down the street. BellendIf he’s on the white stuff, Anthony Taylor must be on crack.
That stuff makes your hair fall out, plus you only have to watch any Chelsea game he referee’s for confirmation.
I’m not sure there will be any referees left once it all comes out in the wash. We’ll have to bring Uriah Rennie, Paul Alcock and David Elleray out of retirement.
Sorry I thought this was England!David Coote got caught sniffing lines. Lol

That ref has definitely annoyed somebody. Things like this are not supposed to get out.Sorry I thought this was England!

Now I think that he had more people shouting in his ear, warning him not to give the penalty, but Michael Oliver ended up getting the final say. De Ligt certainly wasn't going to take any blame, he takes enough.Was he the one who gave that dodgy penalty for West Ham in ETH's last game?
Then again, Slot won't be pleased with him after what he said about his predecessor.
Maybe they're in cahoots.

''United defender De Ligt said at a news conference while on international duty with the Netherlands that "the referees' committee" had "called us to say that it was not a penalty". De Ligt added: "Normally, I am always self-critical and can get annoyed about things I don't do well. But this was not my fault, I couldn't blame myself for it."
Well I was just joking about the right of the British male to sniff a little pick me up, similar to Randy Marsh exercising his freedom to fight.. But yeah clearly something happened here and I desperately want the full story.That ref has definitely annoyed somebody. Things like this are not supposed to get out.
Crazy we haven’t had good goalkeeping since 2021.Have you seen Mike Penders recently? When he signed in the summer he was 6’7 and skinny as hell.
Now he’s grown another inch or two and has bulked up.
The days of Sanchez slapping Hojlund’s ankle, kicking it to Brighton twice in 10 minutes, throwing the ball in his own net and leaving Martinelli a 2 yard gap at the near post are nearly behind us
Crazy we haven’t had good goalkeeping since 2021.
Sanchez is about Kepa levels bad. He always, I mean ALWAYS has a mistake in him. We have to score 2 goals every game if we wanna win.
Hopefully Penders can be good enough.

Arsenal, Spurs, and Liverpool are my big 3, I hate them all with a burning passion.
I’ve come around to actually liking United as like a 2nd team just cuz my dad supports them and especially now since he’s getting older he’s not reading up on the daily news or watching the stuff on TV much anymore, so I’m helping him out and telling him when they buy someone, sell someone, bring in a new coach, etc…
Good luck getting Alcock back, he died in 2018!If he’s on the white stuff, Anthony Taylor must be on crack.
That stuff makes your hair fall out, plus you only have to watch any Chelsea game he referee’s for confirmation.

Regarding Alcock and that infamous push, I thought that he should have been booked for diving.
I can’t blame the England players that pulled out of meaningless ‘Nations League B’ games, under a manager that will not be in post after this window, and with so many big club games coming thick and fast. It’s a nice opportunity for a break. When it comes to club vs country, of course the World Cup is far bigger than anything at club level - I’m sure most players would choose 1 World Cup winners’ medal over 1 Champions League / Premier League / La Liga / Serie A etc. medal. But Nations League B games? I care more about Blackburn’s pre-season friendlies.
On a different note for all the criticism that the British and English sports and football media receives, it is far better than Portuguese sports coverage which I’ve experienced again. That revolves around wall to wall coverage of the big 3 including seemingly what their players eat for lunch, the national team, the big name Portuguese stars abroad (especially CRonaldo of course) and little else.
That’s why while Sporting is of course nowhere near big as Man Utd, I was pointing out to people I know that Amorim has dealt with a huge media focus and pressure cooker environment there, where everything he and his club have done have been analysed to death. Any focus on Man Utd in the UK is not on the same level as that. The equivalent of time spent talking about Everton or West Ham in the UK, would be devoted to the big 3 in Portugal. Plus Amorim has often had to deal with clearly biased, pro-Benfica journalists, looking to cause trouble.
This was my journey in FIFA since I discovered the magic of Ashley Young + Gabby Agbonlahor before I discovered the magic of Gareth Bale. I always am sympathetic to Villa still except when they are gooning it up against Spurs.My dad would get on well with @optic yellow . He is a Spurs/Aston Villa fan. Think Villa came well before Spurs. Well I know it did. He was a Villa fan as a kid.
Luscious low ball forehand form in the second photo there. We should post this in Tennis Tips as an instructional aid.
What did double T learn tonight? To be perfectly honest with ya, I believe he learned rack all, luv.
Obviously, you won't be at Spurs. The people do want to know. Where do you see yourself in five years, Ange?Love Big Ange. Especially after a loss.
The way he gets all mardy and passive aggressive in his interviews, it’s like a minute straight of an angry wife after her husband has been in the pub all evening when he promised he’d take her to bingo
I imagine husbands up and down the country were squirming in their seats, having flashbacks.
Big Ange is hilarious.Obviously, you won't be at Spurs. The people do want to know. Where do you see yourself in five years, Ange?
Having a barbie with your wife and your ex wife, you smug git. Will that do your editor?
And let me give you a bit of advice, Jamie. Your dad won't be able to help you if you try and play the big man with any member of the Yabbie Creek motorcycle club. Remember that because it's the last time you will be told.
HOLY **** I FORGOT. I put off watching Part 1 for so long, I finally watched it on Monday. Time to watch the 2nd part. Someone posted an AMA on Reddit where they watched part 2 early. He was verified from his previous posts. Apparently, Part 2 sucks if you’re a Hawk fan, so sorry if you like him. But they have really assassinated his character the last few seasons. Miguel also is more important than previously thought.You sound hyped. Praise be to Macedonia on the achievement. I don't know if you still watch, but the second part of Cobra Kai final season is out today.

Instead of whining about this international break I am going to pretend I care about it so I'd love opinions on matchips that look interesting tomorrow.
