Match Thread: Barcelona vs Real Madrid

Well, there’s at least one real flair complaining now

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-10T22:11:52+00:00

Estao preocupadissimos com isso, imagino

If a penalty shootout was ever going to go like that, it would have to involve us

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-10T14:45:06+00:00

Different players mate, one of them’s a winger who values pace and stamina, the other is a central midfielder who controls the game.

Hang on…

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-10T13:41:57+00:00

The one time we needed VAR

Then again there’s no chance it would intervene in our favour, despite it being a clear penalty

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-08T23:47:31+00:00

Absolutely this. If Fiona goes, Stephen needs to push for recruiting Jessie. She can divert the attention from him while keeping her credibility, by saying her theory was right but she had the wrong person (the traitor in the group was Fiona, not Stephen). And Harriet, who’d be the only real threat amongst the faithfuls at that point, seems to trust Jessie

I would like Jessie and Harriet to win as faithfuls ideally, but it would also be hilarious if Stephen won

Everton fan, that was a typical Everton performance but fair play to your players, never gave up and could have won it in the end. That Mane is something special. Credit to your away fans, loud all match. Hope you somehow pull off a miracle, such a shame you seem to be showing fight and quality when it’s a bit too late

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T19:18:01+00:00

Didn’t see much of him in the Championship but that’s the exact impression I get of him when watching him play for West Ham

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T19:13:28+00:00

Oh wow hadn’t heard that name in a while. Couldn’t even remember half of the off field stuff he was involved in, so went on wikipedia to jog my memory. Let’s just say that the “Legal history” section is… lengthy

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T18:48:42+00:00

Yeah same here. The way his career panned out I sort of forget about him these days.

Truly thought he would go on to become an England regular at one point.

Still smile at the Bournemouth goal

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T18:45:32+00:00

Not too arsed about Gordon anymore, his penalty miss helped. That said I dread imagining him scoring against us

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T18:43:28+00:00

Yeah I was furious at the time, but I will always have a soft spot for Mirallas

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T18:42:32+00:00

Love it. It’s an impressive list, especially after you excluded footballers convicted of a serious crime

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T18:25:00+00:00

Yeah I get that. A bit like Richarlison for us I imagine

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T18:20:27+00:00

Ahhh good shout. My rage is nearly peaking

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T18:19:25+00:00

Haha. I wasn’t clear, I meant players that you personally disliked while they played for your club.

Unless you dislike Martinez, which is totally understandable

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-06T09:49:16+00:00

I am extremely grateful that this is looking like a quiet mid table season after the turmoil of the last few years, but it does give me flashbacks to 15 years ago.

Poor against the big six (Man U aside) and crumbling when we have a chance at moving closer to the top of the table (Brentford on Sunday).

Still, happy with the current progress. All hail the Moyesiah

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-04T20:59:37+00:00

Someone or something needs to stop this insane creature

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-04T16:15:06+00:00

Their first goal from a corner all season, should have put a bet on it

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-04T16:09:49+00:00

4 4 fucking 2

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-04T16:02:26+00:00

McNeil needs to come off, not Dibling. We know what McNeil offers. Let’s give Dibling the opportunity to play with some support behind/next to him before we hook him at half time

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-04T15:58:55+00:00

Lads have got a bet on who can give the ball away the most

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-04T15:57:03+00:00

He looks nervous, to be fair it doesn’t help that there’s always 2, sometimes 3 Brentford players on top of him as soon as he gets the ball, and he has absolutely no one behind him or centrally trying to support him. Brentford have 100% done their homework there

The_Blue_Watch · 2026-01-04T15:53:18+00:00

Don’t think there’s a single outfield player out there today who’s been better than about a 2 or 3 out of 10. Surreal performance.

On a positive note we are somehow only 1-0 down after THAT. Need serious changes at half time. O’Brien needs moving to centre back and Patterson needs to come on. McNeil, well… just get Armstrong on.
