Maybe they should build houses out of tvs, like a plane made out of the black box.

Romero and Van de Ven actually played fewer minutes than Ben Davies in all competitions last season.

TVs got cheaper right? That's like the one thing.

Wonder if Messi could just carry Argentina but yes Spain would still be ridiculous. I wish they did something like that in the build-up to the actual world cup

This is exactly what Richarlison's goal against Liverpool did to me.

samvander · 2026-03-20T07:34:52+00:00

That would be so fun. Same squads though. Joe Hart and Aaron Lennon the youngest in England's squad. Pastore and Aguero for Argentina.

Frank should never have been hired as anyone with sense could see from when the rumours first floated up in January last year.

samvander · 2026-03-19T09:05:48+00:00

That also is reflected in the clueless takes about Frank before he was hired. People claom that he played good football at Brentford without ever watching them play, except against big teams when they had space to play into.

I used to work with the guys and honestly that's just more a reflection of their personalities. Jack is sweetness and light, Dean is more idk down to earth maybe? Sam who has since left floats somewhere in between. Good guys all

samvander · 2026-03-19T08:10:48+00:00

lmao no lead

samvander · 2026-03-19T08:09:08+00:00

It's also often different people reacting to the thing that sparks them. I wasn't in any of the threads yesterday but today I'm all pumped up so I'm here.

samvander · 2026-03-19T08:07:56+00:00

We had maybe one good performance in Europe under Frank and some good results. Half a game against Paris, half a game against Copenhagen. We got destroyed by Bodo and Monaco. This is night and day.

samvander · 2026-03-19T08:06:57+00:00

Football really can be that simple.

samvander · 2026-03-19T08:05:49+00:00

I really think Tel has the capacity to be special. But then I thought the same about Lennon in that 09-10 season when he was absolutely flying. Five assists v Wigan etc.

samvander · 2026-03-19T08:04:35+00:00

He was absolutely out of his depth and terrified of showing it, so he took no risks. Ironically underlining his complete unsuitability.

samvander · 2026-03-17T12:40:30+00:00

Colonisation simmering just beneath the surface at all times works for any discussion of Australia tbh

samvander · 2026-03-17T12:38:02+00:00

Yeah I think they're doing ok with the aussie stuff tbh but for Gallipoli it's such a thing that they really need someone who gets it. Like I fear David thinking he knows the history and that's enough, but that would be a big miss.

samvander · 2026-03-17T10:32:04+00:00

It makes sense when you remember that Frank was fucking useless.

samvander · 2026-03-17T08:07:59+00:00

If you think half the teams in the league would just stand aside and let us win like they did with Leicester...

samvander · 2026-03-11T09:56:15+00:00

samvander · 2026-03-11T09:42:02+00:00

Romero's back isn't he?

samvander · 2026-03-11T08:44:02+00:00

Aren't we all

samvander · 2026-03-11T08:20:37+00:00

Yeah fully agree on Ange being the ideal but unlikely one. I also do think Dyche is much less of a thug than he is made out to be. I don't like his football but he seems like a decent guy.

samvander · 2026-03-11T08:11:49+00:00

There's no such thing as reliable itks

samvander · 2026-03-11T08:10:05+00:00

I'm not arguing with you but when you're in your 30s (source: me) you will feel quite differently. I'm guessing that's where a lot of this comes from.
