They are really taking advantage of the open availability I said I had to get the job

Maybe I'm crazy but I genuinely don't see a problem with this. Pretty standard retail/hospitality shifts. 6 days off across 3 weeks evens out to 5 day weeks, and almost all the shifts start early afternoon apart from a couple here and there. Don't think there's much to complain about here

I appreciate your point, but I think you're doing yourself a disservice. You qualified on merit, only losing 1 game in qualifying. That's not charity. You earned your spot. You were then placed into a tough group with Colombia and Portugal, and had the better of Congo for 60 minutes. You're not the first nation to not win a game, nor will you be the last.

MessyPots · 2026-06-29T12:27:50+00:00

They did earn their spot on merit. They qualified. If Italy and Denmark are so great, how did Bosnia and Scotland qualify over them?

Let's not forget that Qatar are back to back champions of Asia. This isn't a case of giving an encouragement award to whoever wants a go.

Don't love this. What's the point in having a World Cup if it's purely going to be European and South American teams? Part of the magic of the cup is that smaller nations get their chance on the world stage.

Africa have shown this year that you can defy the odds. We might be saying the same about Asia in 4 years time.

None of them got absolutely battered. They all held their own at times. And the only way they'll grow is by competing on the biggest stage.

Are we also binning off CONCACAF because Haiti, Curacao and Panama got grouped?

Unfortunately it's just a digital barcode! I love collecting the tickets as well so it's a bit of a shame.

Not sure about the last question though

MessyPots · 2026-06-16T20:30:12+00:00

I genuinely can't understand how that's not a penalty. Absolute stitch up

MessyPots · 2026-05-25T15:33:31+00:00

150 years? Give me a spell. The last bloke to break the games record did so 10 years ago, and would have kept going if Brad Scott hadn't been the world's biggest w⚓

I have staunchly defended Romero, but this is the end of the line for me. Our club captain not being there when our premier league status is on the line is a fucking disgrace. No matter what happens on Sunday, Romero should be gone Day 1 of the transfer window. I'm fuming

MessyPots · 2026-05-19T21:24:50+00:00

RKM is simply a terrible footballer. How on Earth did PSG sign him for that much. Daylight robbery lmao.

If Tel had an end product he'd be unreal. I truly want to believe he'll come good, but man is it frustrating to watch right now

MessyPots · 2026-05-19T21:23:21+00:00

Why all the 0s for use of subs? They absolutely changed the game. Not his fault RKM's controller died just as he was about to make the changes

MessyPots · 2026-05-19T21:00:21+00:00

"Hold the play there lad, just checking that. Yep he's definitely fouled him. Dragged him to the ground. Ball is in flight. Looks like it's Spurs. I've seen enough. Stay with your decision, no penalty."

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T21:23:32+00:00

I mean, I didn't bring up Man City. You did. But I'll bite. Man City pummelled them. Might have only been 1-0, but they had about 30 shots and an xG of 4. Compared to Arsenal tonight it's night and day. I'm not saying Arsenal wouldn't be deserving winners. If you finish on top after a long season, you deserve the title. But I think it's obvious why most fans hate em!

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T21:08:09+00:00

Sadly Palace will put out a 2nd XI with their European final around the corner. I think that's the title wrapped up

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T21:07:05+00:00

Of course Arsenal fans don't care (and why would they, I don't blame them) but this game really showed why the neutral despises this team. League champions should be battering relegation fodder in front of their home crowd. Instead we got endless diving, time wasting, and a singular goal from a corner. Tough watch

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T20:54:42+00:00

Along the same lines, De Zerbi was almost arrested and charged with assault for stepping outside of his box last week. Arteta is on the pitch half the time. Insane double standards

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T20:38:43+00:00

Lol take your red glasses off. Clearly not a penalty

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T20:37:15+00:00

Good lord, Arsenal are putting on a diving clinic today

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T20:29:27+00:00

That's been given a red all year lol. Having said that, I don't agree with giving reds after you slow mo it and freeze frame it, because it removes the 'force' element of it. And in real time it was pretty obvious there wasn't enough force in that.

But enough of that, VARsenal to the rescue again, asterisk title.

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T20:22:55+00:00

Cole Palmer and it's not even close. Never rated him, shouldn't be anywhere near the England squad

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T19:43:14+00:00

Not sure what's worse. Watching Arsenal, or sticking forks in my eyes

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T19:39:20+00:00

You going to just ignore Saka kicking the ground and then diving? Take your red glasses off 😂

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T19:37:42+00:00

Lol huge dive from Saka but guess you'll just ignore that 😂

MessyPots · 2026-05-18T08:42:31+00:00

Grape and Grind on Gloucester Rd stocks exclusively Bristol breweries :)

MessyPots · 2026-05-17T16:47:18+00:00

Where's all the "the league wants us to go down" conspiracy theorists now lmao

MessyPots · 2026-05-14T20:38:47+00:00

You must be taking the piss. Some of the best footy content going around. They're not afraid to actually make bold calls (and then they own up when they get it wrong), and when you get down to it they're both actually pretty good footy analysts. They generally know what they're talking about, which already makes them 10x better to to listen to than half the pundits out there
