The TT Football Club

And as usual, the same boring questions were asked after the match.

''Could you feel the tension in the air? Just how much that goal needed on this day for those great supporting, lovely fans who love you so much, always and forever. Never waver. wah lah lah lah ding dong.''

I'm sure I've mentioned it before, the funniest was always a chant at some football ground, and Helen Chamberlain laughing at it. They must have played that same segment for weeks. The classics.

''You've got Fabrizio, you've got Fabrizio, we've got fukallio, we've got fukallio.''

It’s missed! Do you remember they used to do an all sports version on Friday nights for awhile? Where they’d show things from golf or rugby or something.

But yeah, you see clips every now and then. They definitely wouldn’t be able to get away with it these days :-D “I’m 18”.. “great age!”

I'm sure I watched it for a bit, yes. Not sure when I stopped watching Soccer AM regularly, perhaps when I'd go out on the weekend.

haha No way they would get away with it now. You can't even tell your kid off for bad behaviour without serving 90 nights in county. :p

Very true! I saw an old Richard Keys clip the other day. I think he was with Andy Townsend. Was half time at a Middlesbrough game and they had 4 women on the pitch modelling the potential away kit for the next season. Fans had to vote I think. But yeah, you can imagine what they made of it :-D

So, that result simultaneously confirms Spurs are down and Gunners win the league. Excellent. Don’t have to watch this sport again for awhile now

I’m truly sorry, but now Arsenal have the title wrapped up, all I have left this season is a Spurs relegation. That and us finishing as low as possible. The owners don’t care about the fans, but they do care about their investors and the loan sharks they’re leveraged up to the eyeballs with. Them both coming knocking is needed so… tomorrow, I’m a Liverpool fan.

It is shocking how down Spurs are. They are undeniably the worst team in the country. Watching this Leeds match, it’s insane the level difference.

We are currently playing much worse, standard deviations level of worse than Forest, Western Ham, and Leeds. It’s a complete and utter capitulation.
 
A much better second half in terms of it just being an exciting game. United's first goal, Casemiro once more. This kicked Villa into life, then I feared it would get away from us once Barkley equalised, but not today. Cunha was a marvel; Bruno was otherworldly, yes, all that good stuff. Bryan's play in the second goal was out of the proverbial top drawer.

Mr Sesko, you have permission to be a little more selfish when we're 3-1 up, but it's all good since he was the man to put us 3-1 up and kill the game off. (y)
 
I hope Bruno can break the single-season Premier League record of 20 assists (Shared by Henry and KDB). He beat Man Utd & Beckham's 15 today with his double. One for the stat people, he didn't score his first assist until October. 8-B

Somebody should be begging Casemiro for another year. Yeah, I know it might not be as simple as that. He may want to leave himself. If it were just as simple as that, then of course I'd be demanding another year.
 
A significant improvement after a lucky escape during midweek against Newcastle. 5-2 victory over Sevilla and the 4 point gap is maintained with 10 games left.

Raphinha rose to today's occasion, with two well taken penalties and then a deflected goal to complete the hat trick. Olmo finished off a simple quick move while Cancelo, who won both penalties, had a great solo run for the fifth goal. Sleepy defense in both halves' stoppage time when Oso and Sow connected well after being found unmarked from their teammates' crosses.

Yamal only came off the bench, and so did Gavi and Fermin, while Raphinha, Pedri and Cancelo were all taken off as the result was sealed early. A good performance and management of the game as the second leg against Newcastle is coming up on Wednesday. I saw that their recent league form improved noticeably, and we were well warned last week how good they can be, so the guys will really have to step up this time, no more margin for error...

Laporta has been re-elected in a landslide victory over Font, his fourth term in total. Less confident now compared to before, but we will see. As long as his predecessor is never seen again.

Nice to see Manchester United improving and looking likely to return to the Champions League. It will be interesting how they handle the next season with a lot more games to play, and whether it will be with Carrick or someone else...
 
I put a bit of Expressions on because why not?

Anyway, he's like, ''Mother's Day is back after this point today. Happy Mother's Day, blud.'' :D Then he started going on about it not mattering if they start 11 pornstars because they need to stay up.
 
To be fair to Gary Neville, he's pretty much saying what I've heard from a lot of United fans: they want a Carrick-type and a destroyer type.

Not to get on Mainoo's back again, bless him, but his lack of pace was noticeable once more yesterday. And then we have Casemiro beside him. He'd lost his pace before he even joined United, yes, the streets remember. So maybe if we have that destroyer with more pace or a Carrick type to play alongside Mainoo, then it could be ok, I think.
 
That will cost you 100 grand, Ralph. You disrespected the bing.

I disrespected the ball!! What the hell are you talking about?

It will be interesting to see who they go with!

Mainoo feels like a ball carrying, connector type of player. Which is nice to have. Then you’ve got Bruno, who is Bruno.

I think maybe a destroyer type who can cover vast spaces, win headers, second balls etc.. and let those two do their thing to the best of the abilities would make a lot of sense. Someone like Onana or Hjulmand. Then maybe a back up to him (it’s a tough job and a long season). Someone like Lukic for cheap (why I said Norgaard last summer, depth).

Then also get a passer type. Wharton or Stiller.

So Onana and Lukic doing the dirty work, Mainoo carrying and connecting, Bruno doing his thing, Wharton doing the passing when required.

Of course the names could be different, but from the profiles point of view? That feels like a good balance to me.
 
Today was international squad announcement day, otherwise known as "day of rage for fans of provincial Scottish clubs". Every announcement without fail I have to put up with the incessant complaining when the latest de rigeur no-mark jobber who has had a few decent games is overlooked for a call-up as the fifth choice centre-back. We've literally qualified for the World Cup and people are still seething that "Stephen Welsh" hasn't been called up ahead of "Dominic Hyam". I don't know what either of these men look like, and I don't care because whichever one is called up will exist solely as a background NPC.

It's usually insufferable, but made ever the more so this time by the presence of Falkirk fans among the baying hordes. Statistically shown to be the baldest fanbase on the planet with the biggest chips on their shoulders (as measured in square miles), they have taken a break from reminding everyone just how great the football their stinking team plays is and just how many hundreds of thousands of fans they have to multiply the shrill cacophony of complaint. I hope Falkirk football club never have a good season again so I never have to hear about all of their abject SPFL plodders who have been cruelly robbed of call-ups.

This is the end of my complaint. I am looking forward to watching Scotland in the World Cup for the first time, and I wish other football fans could be a bit less addicted to rage and misery (though rage directed at Falkirk football club is entirely permissible).
 
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't calling
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or something
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em.

19 Premier League goals for Thiago now.

"Igor Thiago now has 19 Premier League goals for Brentford this season - he only needs two more to break the record for most goals scored for the Bees in a single campaign in the division.

"Ivan Toney scored 20 in 2022/23 and Bryan Mbeumo hit 20 in 2024/25 There are still eight games to play after tonight!" It's on

Congrats to him for earning a Brazil call-up.
 
Spurs headed for relegation. Meanwhile, our London rivals:

https://twitter.com/x/status/2033599405413057001

Built multiple PL/CL winning teams off the basis of phony payments. Utter corruption. No real punishment.

Then, from the same person.
https://twitter.com/x/status/2033881715853160700

Gunners now have their THIRD incorrect decision in their favor confirmed.

The game was rigged from the start. Even if Spurs play well enough to avoid the drop, the FA will send them down anyway.
 
Sarr and Hato at CB. Chalobah at RB.

Let’s hope Man City or Leverkusen have something for us. Chelsea v PSG is just an excercise in going through the motions.
 
Two world class finishes from the only world class team left in the competition. They’ve it all locked up, they’ll do the quadruple. Only meningitis can stop them now.

PSG begun their European season by going 2-0 down and getting pushed to penos by Thomas Frank’s Relegation Hotspur.

Safe to say they will not be more than a mild nuisance for a team with the quality of Gunners

I don't fancy Arsenal against PSG or Bayern Munich. Yeah, I don't know ball, of course, but just a feeling they will get found out.
 
''Morocco have been crowned Africa Cup of Nations winners after a major ruling on Tuesday overturned Senegal’s victory two months after the final.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) Appeal Board has ruled that Senegal have been stripped of their title for walking off the pitch in protest at Morocco being awarded a late penalty.

After CAF's dramatic ruling, Senegal are "declared to have forfeited" with the "result of the match being recorded as 3-0 in favour" of Morocco, who are now celebrating their second AFCON title.''

Pure scripted wrestling style. We have a new champion. 8-B

I left the football running after it finished, came back to this.

I haven’t watched snooker for awhile, is this what it’s become?

Can’t decide what my favourite part of tonight. Tosin coming on 8-2 down was fun. I also particularly enjoyed Sanchez checking out a fan in the crowd as Kvaratskhelia was about to score.

For a project based on youth, only lasting 6 mins then going flaccid doesn’t seem right. But here we are.

''Fans have demanded a ‘116th charge’ to Manchester City after seeing Pep Guardiola’s outfit for the match against Real Madrid.

Real cruised to a 3-0 win in Spain last week and followed that up with a 2-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium. But for some fans, the biggest disappointment was Guardiola‘s outfit on the sideline. The Spanish manager wore smart trousers and shoes but paired with a relaxed-fitting flannel shirt.

It was a stark contrast to the smart black bomber jacket that he wore for the first leg.''

I actually quite like it!

Maybe I’m middle aged now.

Suppose it does give off a bit of Curt Kobain going to a parole interview, but overall? I’m a fan. Black boots over the chestnut variety though please.

Utterly embarrassing from Chelsea but what really is the expectation anymore. Anytime the club actually was getting somewhere they’d just sack the manager. I’d rather we finish 10th or something so they don’t get to pocket anymore money. The owners were obviously clueless when they sacked Tuchel years ago. Now we've just been embarrassed by PSG with a woefully inexperienced and scared bunch of toddlers that frankly aren’t that good anyways and a manager who is miles out of his depth that shouldn’t be coaching in a UCL game.

Roman would never buy 90% of the players the current regime has. He’d never hire Brighton people to run the club. He’d never hire Rosenior. None of this would ever fly. He brought us the best of the best so we could be the best. New owners have as much if not more than the Roman and have done nothing tangible with it.

Last year people said we had it bad with Sancho and the Chernobyl Neymar (until some Russian girl slipped him something dodgy). This year we’re going at PSG with Garnacho and Gittens on one leg :-D

But yeah, I agree. I actually find it hilarious. I’m getting on a bit now, I have zero patience for delusion, arrogance and ineptitude. That’s how the owners want to operate? They deserve everything that’s coming for them. Their investors are no joke. Big pension funds, the Saudi’s.. you don’t want to get on the wrong side of either of them. They’re leveraged up to the eye balls in debt with Ares management with massive interest rate repayments. That’s like being in bed with the mafia.

All those interests are watching their nonsense play out on the biggest stage of all to millions of fans globally.

Eghbali might need to bring his own lube, they won’t be going easy on him.

I was hoping PSG could make it to double figures. I was a bit disappointed they sat back early, thought they might’ve wanted serious revenge. Ahh well, hopefully Everton have something for us on Saturday. We need them to have a strong end to the season, and Brentford too. Letting it slip v Wolves on Monday was disappointing.
