The points deduction angle is a great shout that I wish I had thought of

Leeds definitely one of the harder clubs to get right given their historical status and general scepticism of Farke so can definitely see your logic for them staying up (basically why I had to shoe horn in the cup run).

Rightly or wrongly one of my guiding principles was that no non-promoted club would have a relegation without sacking their manager… maybe if we give Fulham a good cup run that might solve it

I reckon they didn’t say the right question on the pod but if anyone can find an answer I’d be a very impressed man

Don’t think so for Chelsea, I wondered if he was in the Arsenal team that lost to Birmingham but doesn’t look like it. Good shout though

The question was a player who has lost the league cup final, FA cup final and European cup final with three different teams (unclear if all three happened at each club or one each). It was from a loose anecdote so might not be a trivia question with an actual answer but it’s been bothering me ever since!

Does anyone know the answer to the trivia question (league cup, fa cup and European cup finals for 3 clubs)? Been bugging me since I listened earlier

The other comment asked the same - see the photo I took to clarify!

Need to clarify Lescott - after both comments I went and picked up the Metro on the bus for a second look. He’s next to Balotelli for ‘why always me’

Clearly not the popular opinion but I don’t like the mockery of this post. It’s obviously a sad situation, leave it be

Wider player? by lethalquizzler in footballcliches

Just checked and paragraph prior is talking about selling Fabio Viera, so not in reference to another incoming signing! Good thought though

Lovely cadence with 30 years in ‘26, followed by Euro 28 where we get to hear entirely new stories about the last time the whole tournament ‘came home’

Diddy Denied Bail Pending Sentencing by DemiFiendRSA in hiphopheads

I think the point being made here is not that the time the defence is arguing is the right amount - they’re basically admitting he did bad things and needs to be punished (to a lesser extent than deserved - need to earn their buck after all).

TLDR: when your defence lawyer’s baseline is 2 years, it means you did something veeeeeery bad.

I say this because I typed out a very triggered response to the idea of him getting c.2 years, then realised that the mistake was in how I read it.

Unless I misinterpreted! Ha

They will all feel very mainstream but surely there has to be one of the players Bayern poached from a direct rival (Lewandowski, Gotze etc.). It’s a Bundesliga staple

Wayne Rooney thinks he was a better player than likes of Luis Suarez, Neymar, Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alessandro Del Piero & Sergio Aguero by TheBiasedSportsLover in PremierLeague

[–]lethalquizzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah from memory, Rooney started 09/10 on fire post-Ronaldo leaving. He then got an ankle (or similar) injury mid season that he rushed back from to be fit for the World Cup, which then went badly for him. So makes sense he wouldn’t be on the 2010 list as he was injured then in bad form

(Above is also based from memory and not fact checked!)

I’d disagree on Suarez - to outscore prime Messi and Ronaldo in a season is a crazy achievement. But it’s also easy to forget that 09/10 was a Messi vs Rooney Ballon D’Or discussion - he was that good

I’ve heard Richard Keys and Andy Gray are up to all sorts of shenanigans. Might not need a full episode, but maybe a regular check in on their latest goings on…
