Liverpool are awful

And me, can't stand it, that North London Forever, absolutely toe curling. Trying their bollocks off to be like Liverpool, TV and radio commentators referring to it at their games as though they're at Anfield. 

Another Arsenal thing I've noticed is when the PA guy announces a goalscorer, he's taken to doing that continental thing of shouting out the first name "Leandro...Leandro" and the Arse fans are supposed to (awkwardly) shout out "TROSSARD".   It sounds great when the Germans do it in a big game. 

Arsenal scored a routine goal v Brighton that nobody was excited about, and it sounded like about 500 people took up the invitation to complete the announcement.  He'd be better just doing the job himself.

If Bolton ever see fit to attempt that I'll give up.  I can imagine half of us wouldn't know the answer to the question anyway😀  David, I said David.....🤷‍♀️

Blackpool fans not know they have a game tonight ??

Great start in the semi

Forza tagliatelle

Sky Sports+, lovely night here on the coast, plenty deciding to watch it in the pub by the look of it

he still goes and has an ST but is vocal in his awareness and opposition to what the owners stand for

it's something at least

If you’re not going to enjoy your first trophy in 70 odd years then I’d suggest that club isn’t for them

Fair play to them, in face face of most fans just shrugging shoulders.

Yes I know the Germany model but if any fans decided to boycott buying a replica shirt due to sponsorship, the clubs would change pretty sharpish.

I just think it's this apathy that allows the governing bodies to behave as they are and do exactly what they want when it comes to corrupt practices and using local clubs as vehicle for reputation enhancement for some of the most totalitarian regimes in the world.

At least let's get it up the agenda rather than just ignoring the issues.

Saudi sponsors put me off buying the lovely Roma shirts of recent seasons. Same with other teams and shitty betting sponsors.

But PIF chuck money at everything and everyone it's nigh on impossible to escape their reach

Just come out the gym. It's a stunner.

Peterborough showing they are no push overs

What a game this Barca Inter clash is

It's proper entertainment!

Barca defend like Spurs

That's probably one of the best games I've ever seen.

No treacleball in sight.

No overlaps, underlaps, byline cutback bullshit.

Two teams fucking going for it.

Bring back football.

Lamine was outrageous, so close to getting 3 himself, Inter played well and it's a good result, with Barca's way of defending and high line, I thought Inter with their nice passing to escape the press would create more

Barca have to play well 2nd leg, not like the Dortmund 2nd leg quarter, anything like they've done on 3 occasions at the Madrid's will do nicely, gotta rest players vs relegated bottom at weekend, Pedri needs one.

Spot on.

Fucking hell I've read some hogwash. Please direct me to the nearest Saudi prepared to sportswash at the Toughsheet and I'll kiss their feet and pray to Mecca if it gets them to sign the deal.

Each to their own of course, but why bother?
