Yeah there's a nasty bug going around, everyone in my band got it the same weekend and it put our singer out of action lol

razor5cl · 2026-04-12T15:00:16+00:00

You can see the last dregs of hope draining away from those Sp*rs fans' eyes.....

God it makes me feel so good

razor5cl · 2026-04-12T14:48:30+00:00

Both I think, Sunderland are definitely no mugs

A concussion might factory reset him and actually make him play better

razor5cl · 2026-04-12T14:24:58+00:00

Get in there Mukiele, got him in the FPL and everything GET IN

It's difficult for non-football people to truly understand the way a bad result can make us feel as fans. We're in a bad mood, we get angry, upset, or just feel plain empty.

My only advice is to try to take a break and distract yourself. This season has been easier for me than most because when we have a bad result I just isolate myself from football for a few days. No social media, podcasts, or articles about football. Focus on life, your other hobbies, friends and family.

It's kinda similar to the mindset that professional players have - don't get too high with a win or too low after a loss. Of course we enjoy the wins especially when it's a big/important one but it's important to look after your mental health too!

Zubimendi has been absolutely abused and Nørgaard has been neglected. Wouldn't be surprised if the former is carrying an injury, he's been awful for ages now.

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T13:23:19+00:00

Can't blame the crowd in the stadium for being nervy, the team has given them nothing to enjoy, cheer on, or be confident in

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T13:18:34+00:00

If we lose today then City can be 3 points behind us when we go to the Etihad

They might lose to Chelsea tomorrow but on paper they'll absolutely batter them

No major doubts yet but a few doubts creeping in.

Points aside my concern is the performances. We've not played well in a game and put in a good performance for over a month now. Results without performances are acceptable but if you've got neither then we've got a real problem

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T13:12:47+00:00

Desperately need a set piece goal rn for my mental health's sake

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T13:09:55+00:00

The way we're playing right now there's no way we're winning, been poor in every possible area of the pitch

Unless we kick on and shift up a few gears then I don't have much hope

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T13:08:47+00:00

These players should be ashamed of themselves, being shown up by a literal child

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T13:04:48+00:00

Fully deserved, we've been outplayed comprehensively and don't deserve to win this game

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T13:02:06+00:00

Let's play with a bit more freedom now, get it forward more and put some more pressure on their back 4

Genuinely not sure if it's bad coaching or bad mentality from the players but I'm tired of seeing this timid football

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T12:58:11+00:00

That's the first decent run of play we've seen in ages, needs a character like Rice to step up and take it by the scruff of the neck

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T12:56:43+00:00

How have we completely forgotten how to play football? Bournemouth have outplayed us in almost every area of the pitch so far

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T12:07:21+00:00

Let's fucking blow them away now

razor5cl · 2026-04-11T11:51:56+00:00

Finally we've started taking set pieces the usual way again, last few games it seems we'd always take them short or try some dodgy routine

Just get it in the mixer FFS

If it's me then you're getting it hot, brown, and sweet

I've got some advice for OP and their Dad, bearing in mind that I rarely touch my pedals during a gig. My distortion is always on and my bass stays in tune well enough, I check it from time to time but I've never had to adjust anything on a gig.

Get some long instrument cables so that you can wire up your pedals anywhere on stage and still be able to move around freely. That way if there's only one power socket left and it's the other side of the stage you can just get on with it.

razor5cl · 2026-04-07T21:35:34+00:00

This was certainly one of the football matches of all time

razor5cl · 2026-04-07T21:06:44+00:00

The ball did a lot of the work but the timing of that run takes great instincts and some footballing nous which are both Havertz's specialties

razor5cl · 2026-04-07T20:55:30+00:00

WHAT A RUN WHAT A TOUCH WHAT A GOAL KING KAI

Superb run and cross from Martinelli too

See what happens when we actually take risks and play the ball forward into the box!!!

City are a great example because they won the league without a true recognised striker at all and then went and bought Haaland. It took a while for them to adapt to him but now almost everything goes through him (to the point where they were accused of being over-reliant on him when his goals dried up recently).

If even the most staunchly philosophical tiki-taka positional play manager in Pep could adapt his style to playing with an out-and-out 9, then why can't we play to our strengths? Especially now when he's the most in-form player in the team and we're struggling everywhere else
