You see 1 or 2 guys in a team turn off and make a glaring mistake but to see 11 guys do it is surreal
To do it at 3-3 on agg in a UCL semi with 15 to go is scandalous
That goal was that bad that I don't think I could even live long enough to see the Jets do it
Win unbelievable game, check. slip up on the final game, check check. You have been warned.
I was showing my kids the highlights today and that goal in particular. One of the replays from behind shows ter Stegen 'clapping encouragement'Quote:

back out (or in?) to Origi. TAA gets another ball, puts in the corner arc and THAT's the ball that's next multi ball in play. Don't see that? GTFO.
Origi kicks said 'dead ball' to a ball boy who picks it up. Don't see that? GTFO.
They're all standing around like stale bottles of p!ss when TAA doubles back and hits it in.
As Agent Smith says when Neo bleeds in Reloaded: Only human...
This Ajax team don’t fear anybody. And are playing out of their skins. If we sorry for them, they are going to get raided over the summer.Quote:

I’m nervous.
It makes me chuckle.Quote:

I’m actually interested to hear truthfully if this was planned. When I played state league 19s we devised a similar plan for free kicks that weren’t ceremonial where one person placed the ball and pretended to start pacing out their run up, while another ran and kicked it.
I feel like you’d never expect Barcelona to not pay attention though.
I know TAA and Wijnaldum devised a plan a few weeks ago when they noticed something in the first half.
TAA has so much potential. Can see him being next Captain if he is the leadership type.
I’d like to apologise to Ajax fans and also our arsenal pals for jinxing them.Quote:

I have a severe hatred of teams not putting men on the posts for corners. And I don't give a shit what your Ron Smith's say about the stats etc relating to the topic, I doubt I'll ever be convinced otherwise. I find it genuinely criminal that coaches would allow blokes like Ben Kennedy & Vedran Janjetovic the freedom to have their posts empty, and I froth every time a simple goal could have been stopped by having guys there goes in. Which brings me to Liverpool's 4th from yesterday, if Barca had men on posts by default then the space the corner found wouldn't have been free as there would have been more foot traffic in that area - the post man probably would have been running in that exact spot heading for his post at that time. That goal was music to my ears solely from a post man perspective, and it got even better thinking about the instinct & vision relating to it in general.Quote:

Again, the coach had every chance there to tell the world how clever he is, but he deferred to the players. As soon as I heard that comment for some reason I thought of Scott Miller and chuckled.
Too much football is barely enoughQuote:

Ethical dilemma.
Already thought about it and decided I am 100% fine with it.Quote:

Yehhh. Despite knowing City are better than losing to Brighton, and there was a stack of time left, it was hard not to feel a glimmer of hope.
In the end, I’m not disappointed. We have had a great season. One loss. 3rd biggest points total. Bar two amazing city seasons. It’s sucks a season this good doesn’t win. 25 points clear of 3rd. If you told me we’d be playing on the last day with a Chance to win I’d have taken that.
Unless City, lose a few players, it’s hard to see them not being favourites for next season too.
Well done to them.
Now you can focus on the UCL and smash Spurs
If you have to lose a title. Lose it to one of the greatest EPL sides of all time.* Sorry boys, please listen to Stanny on this one and beats spuds in the UCL. A UCL title is better than a league title anyway.
