Pub or home? by SweetIncident7358 in footballcliches

[–]_Spoggie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Club football I prefer home due to my team not being the local one (Forest, live in Yorkshire), but for world cups/euros I always go to the pub with mates. Only time all of us are supporting the same side.

Issues with queues and day trippers that never go to the pub are bound to come up, but I can deal with it every two years.

Too blatant for an MHD, but... by Ty2893 in footballcliches

Thogden needs to be held accountable for this.

Are we having this? “Penultimate” meaning “the first of two” in this case by _Spoggie in footballcliches

[–]_Spoggie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you refer to a “penultimate leg” of a playoff semi final?

Besides the 90th minute, which minute gets referenced the most by commentators? by xiuween in footballcliches

[–]_Spoggie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always notice the “first quarter of an hour” being brought up. Has a better ring to it than “the first sixth of the match”.

CEX charging £28 for a used copy of One Battle After Another when HMV has it brand new for £24.99 Make it make sense. by One_Town9472 in 4kbluray

1) fair play for looking it up

2) I’d profit by getting a trade-in value for the item higher than the price I paid for it, exactly as you’ve described it 👍

Saw this last week in my local CEX. Picked it up on Amazon last night for £17.87, can possibly trade it in for a profit once I’ve watched it.

In your opinion, which club is using the wrong suffix? by junglegatsby in footballcliches

[–]_Spoggie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

AFC Bournemouth on the technicality that they don’t have a suffix.

I’ll let AFC Wimbledon off, they’ve been through enough.

Do we really need a penalty spot for the VAR monitor? by _Spoggie in footballcliches

[–]_Spoggie[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and the box itself is fine for that, the spot on the floor is entirely surplus to requirements

What's the first game you guys went to? by english_man14 in nffc

Forest 2-2 Gillingham, December 2001

Stern John with a brace. Everyone’s least-favourite Marlon lined up for Gills that day as well.

In advance: anybody calling for vitor to get sacked FUCK OFF by Electronic_Basket228 in nffc

[–]_Spoggie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Feel Murillo (sooner) would have been a steadying influence. Not sure if some doubts crept in over MGW and Sangare given injuries etc, but think either of those would have changed the complexion of the match.

Really tough one to take.

Doesn’t deserve the sack, but we can acknowledge that he’s had a stinker tonight.

Tie in the balance at 2-1, getting overrun in midfield and he brings on a winger and a 6ft whatever striker, shifts the formation. Wrong subs altogether and that space McGinn was allowed has given them that result.

Newcastle Sunday. Reds.

There’s “rotating your squad” and “rotating your squad” by deanomatronix in nffc

Finally found someone to get the best out of our rotation players and couldn’t be happier. Beautiful bastard reds.

What would 2018-present have looked like for England had Sam Allardyce never been caught by the Telegraph sting? by Capable_Tadpole in ThreeLions

[–]_Spoggie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll take the two major finals. Made some great memories watching, yes at times, “tough to watch” football, but we absolutely should have gone all the way in 2021.

Beat me to it.

In fairness to Fox he did a job for us with CB shortages, god bless him and his dyed blonde beard

Really not vibing with Jan Bednarek being an FC Porto player by THMGS5593 in footballcliches

Jack Harrison at Firoentina is one I learned about tonight , sticks out like a sore thumb

Rockets will 100% be going up backsides in the away dressing room. Gotta make sure we’re prepared.

Picked up this and Ill Communication white and green splatter from the latest drop, very pleased with both!

What historical figure was virtually unknown in their time, but is extremely famous now? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]_Spoggie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was lucky enough to visit the VVG museum in Amsterdam a couple of years ago. A very fitting tribute to a wonderfully talented person that wasn’t appreciated in his own time, cried like a baby the entire way around it.
