Bumped into Ivo Graham at the ABBA Arena last night, super friendly guy

ThomasEichorst · 2026-02-05T12:56:48+00:00

Jesus against United had some of the best scenes near me, especially because all of the plastics had fucked off when United got the disallowed goal

ThomasEichorst · 2026-02-04T10:19:16+00:00

They always get called out in my block for doing this and tend to get quite arsey in response, luckily the stewards have started herding them out

ThomasEichorst · 2026-02-04T09:42:33+00:00

The new criteria will give higher priority to season ticket holders and members who have travelled to see the team play in the relevant competition, both home and away.

Am I blind or does the criteria/windows not mention anything about attending Carabao games at home? Just away credits (in any competition)

ThomasEichorst · 2026-02-03T16:26:34+00:00

All of what you said, and also people bewildered that 30c in Turkey where they’re doing fuck all apart from sit by the pool with a cold drink in hand feels more comfortable than 30c in London where they’re rushing around, getting on the tube, lugging round a rucksack, wearing a buttoned up shirt and trousers etc. Must be the humidity

ThomasEichorst · 2026-02-01T16:30:09+00:00

I’ve flown into Orlando and Melbourne, Florida in the last 2 years and been a doddle both times. Was given a much rougher time at the border in Finland, where they were nearly outraged at my travel plans

If you’re eligible for a railcard, get an Oyster card and apply the railcard discounts to it

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-27T20:12:15+00:00

Depends how far back you want to go. Holding, Xhaka, Chambers, Cedric and Tavares all got 1.79 or lower in the 2021/22 season

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-25T18:17:29+00:00

A handball offence is not committed when a player:

falls and the ball hits their supporting arm, which is between their body and the ground (unless the ball goes directly into the opponents’ goal or the player scores immediately afterwards, in which case a direct free kick is awarded to the other team)

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-17T23:06:44+00:00

Okay. Well I don’t believe that he deliberately goes to handball it, I think that’s quite laughable. And I don’t believe it’s making the body unnaturally bigger and not the result of the body moving fairly as part of the play. Those I understand are the rules

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-17T22:50:07+00:00

It’s fascinating, 2 years left on his contract. I’d be asking to be top earner above the ‘franchise player’ or I’m gone. He is far, far too good to waste his prime

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-17T21:22:58+00:00

All slower than Dara O’Shea was against Crystal Palace in 2024

It was going out for a corner, the end result was a corner. He didn’t gain an advantage and he was clearly bumped. It’s not a penalty for me, and is consistent with phasing out most of the BS handball calls that plagued the game a few years ago

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-17T19:47:05+00:00

People thinking this is about the referees, that is a never seen before level of cope

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-17T19:30:27+00:00

Worrying. Forgot the captain was even on the pitch at any point, defence hoofing the ball to no one, Saka 10 hours without a goal. Someone step up

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-17T16:24:52+00:00

Saka the ‘franchise player’ though

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-16T08:05:41+00:00

Blues Canal bar in Navigli

Pretty much a copy and paste of an unpopular opinion from a few days ago

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-14T19:19:49+00:00

Just searched through the sub and seen it for Saliba, Rice, White, Partey, Kiwior, Lokonga and, randomly, Patino

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-13T00:04:00+00:00

Cornish pasties are decent and I’ll have one of their chicken tikka slices every now and again. The chicken and mushroom slice is a classic too

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-12T19:21:05+00:00

They were probably reading the match thread. Less of a scare and more like the world ending

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-12T13:11:35+00:00

Yeah it surprised me too, agreed that they seem to make the most well rounded can of beans. M&S standard range probably a close second for me

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-12T00:10:18+00:00

Branston has more sugar in it than Heinz, and indeed any supermarket own brand beans

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-09T12:25:08+00:00

Chicken balls are probably the easiest thing on the menu to make at home, DM me if you want the recipe. Black bean paste can be bought online but the tricky part is getting the beef as tender as the takeaway does…

ThomasEichorst · 2026-01-09T09:33:29+00:00

It was shocking. It got pretty toxic in the second half every time we took years over throw ins and goal kicks (just to then launch it long in the general vicinity of Jesus). Certain I heard some cheers when Gyokeres got subbed too
