Oh really...and you don't know the meaning of 'pepinazo' in a purely footballing context? This IS a football forum is it not..
No, I knew both meanings but as we were talking about Julian's 'thunderbastard' (with a dubious but amusing Spanish translation) I thought I might add a better footballing colloquialismAs a Spanish speaker of four decades I can say that they are correct, though, you may not have picked up the alternative meaning as it has really just caught on widely with the youngins recently, largely due to emojis becoming part of the common language. I really hadn’t realised it myself until a few years ago when my nephew started laughing uncontrollably at me on a Zoom call for his birthday after I commented on something in the background of his video.
Not to nit pick but I'm not sure why Pep waited so long to bring in Bernardo and Foden for Alvarez and Mahrez. Alvarez had done his job. Bernardo's presence in the midfield helped put the game to bed and provided Rodri and Gundo with some much needed help. Foden was much more aggressive in pressing and defending than Mahrez who IMO was not on top of his game today. He seemed to struggle against A Robinson's speed and aggressiveness.That was a hard watch , very tired boys out there , sloppy as fuck
But top of the league !!
Not how it came across and I have a sense of humour I can assure you? Irony ? Satire ?Come on, man, you have no sense of humor...
I didn't want to make you feel bad, it was just a joke.
I thought we were all adults here...
See the huuuge he have Jackie at the end of the game... he really appreciates what he brings - both control, and creativity.Pep player full stop.
Social media you say?Couldn't watch the game today, going by the chatter on social media we were absolutely shit and barely scraped a win, going by the highlights and the xG numbers suggest it should have been an easy 4-0 and Leno saved them. so what is the truth?
Did you say that for the Forest game before they equalised with a few minutes remaining?Spot on. The match day thread was full of knee jerk fanny wipes
I was wondering the same thing.Why were only the two ends of that new stand open?
It’s been happening for the last few games and he needs to calm himself downJack doing his best to get sent off there.
He completely lost his head.
Pep needs to have a word.
The ref was ok tbh and he could have done us with a penaltyIt was all about getting 3 points today and we had to show character to grind that out.
Just look at the PL table now!
I think we should have made the subs 10 mins earlier than we did, but it worked out in the end.
We had a period in the second half where we were causing our own issues, with under hit and misplaced passes. The players are not robots though. They rode it out and did enough.
We had enough good chances to finish the game but their keeper made some great saves also.
I thought the ref was quite poor, Grealish got no protection at all. He was fouled consistently all game and most of the time he let them get away with it. That Tete is a ****.
That goal from Alvarez was top drawer!
Happy days!
Yeah some people saying he’s entitled to but I’m sure they’ll have a different opinion when he sees red.It’s been happening for the last few games and he needs to calm himself down
He will see red by the end of the season if he carry’s on and it could cost us big time and all his hard work ruined but pep will have a word .Yeah some people saying he’s entitled to but I’m sure they’ll have a different opinion when he sees red.
More likely to see Stones or Gundo play there than see him start a game I think.It doesn't look like it, but he should be able to handle playing against teams like Leeds and Everton and more importantly, we need him.
Keeping Rodri fit and rested is the most important thing now and playing him against teams battling for their lives, especially those two teams, is not something i would look forward to.
The middle is to solely support Tete’s ego.Why were only the two ends of that new stand open?
