A 3rd/4th place play off between the 2 Narf Landan clubs in the Carabao Cup could well take off with their fans.
But with both their inabilities to win a trophy we'd have to rename it the Cobweb Cup Final

Bit harsh on Arsenal - they've just won the "We Beat City" Cup, for God's sake!
Credit where it's due!

This is my recollection, too, although I was only ten at the time. Any "strange charisma" there may have been certainly passed me by!

It was a long time ago pal!

And as night follows day….Jenas to join Talkshite !!! …is that place a hostel for criminals, sexual predators and drunks?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Well I can provide some help/

Ratcliffe in 2017 took over the Swiss team Lausuane who were a team that bounced around a bit. They were immediately relegated and have bounced around ever since.
Ratcliffe in 2019 took over Nice. Nice for the previous decade or so have finished between 5th and 10th in the French leagues. Under Ratcliffe they finished between 5th and 10th every year.
Ratcliffe in 2024 bought Man United. They were a team who had become upper midtable and were struggling a bit. Under Ratcliffe they are upper midtable and struggling a bit.

13th? Upper mid table?

 

[chesterbells]

Yeah. To re-join I guess …

[City & Blue Brazil]

To be played at 6 pm on a Sunday when there are no trains at an inaccessible ground or city so they can experience the same joys and expense of a cup final as we and other northern clubs do.

I'm just surprised Arsenal haven't put forward the idea of a 3rd place play-off game v Spurs for the Carabao Cup so their over-excited fans can cling on to the chance of seeing some tin pot silverware.
Call it the North London Cup Forever, modelled on a golden milk bottle.

They're simply following the BBC model mate..

It has taken FOUR writers to concoct BBC Sport’s long read hatchet job on Grealish, replete with a few snide digs at Pep. Including the usual suspects Roan and Stone. Obviously been in the works for a some time but Stone clearly went into today’s presser fishing for new content

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Roan,Stone and Mashiter. Bet there were a few reach arounds and tossing of the salad whilst they hashed this together. Take it for what it is, a hatchet job

They each need a hatchet planted in their heads ..

Interesting to listen to the Vice chair of Chelsea Supporters Trust on Talkshite today.
His main point was the widescale buying of tickets through valid memberships, and touting them through websites at fantastic profit.

These gangs are organised and work throughout the Premier Lesgue. The Police are aware and trying to formulate a response. Clubs are aware but struggle to identify the touts.

Arsenal to their credit have cancelled up to 20,000 members registrations in an effort to combat these touts.

I know on here most just blame the club, when organise criminal gangs are the real issue.

He did also criticise Boehly.

We don’t have that problem for two evident reasons.
* we don’t have any fans
* The Sheikh buys all the tickets.

What a strange and snide article about Grealish which also seems to be directed at Pep. Very unusual even for Roan and Stone who never have a good word to say about City. All based on anonymous sources with no balance. The BBC never publishes hatchet jobs like this on players from other teams.

 

[The Lone Whalley Ranger]

Roan dripping his usual poison on the BBC website. This time about APT.

I thought the BBC was meant to be impartial?

Dead people are his audience unfortunately, it’s a national disgrace that **** is paid from public funds.

 

[Platt Lane 59]

Absolutely correct, Scruffy Jim pumped £1.25 billion into the club for a 28.94% stake and penny pinches off the lowest paid employees that he hasn't already made redundant and the Glazers still have majority ownership and control. The clown has been stitched up like a kipper.

He obviously isn't a true fan. The bid for Chelsea is proof.
Just sees it as a vehicle to earn money and raise his profile. Although a lot of (failed) owners use it as a vanity project.
Think Dave Brailsford being the "footballing guru" reminds me of Sir Clive Woodward becoming Southampton's saviour.
Let's hope this turns out as well...
