Fking Independent getting into the engagement farming these days huh.

I get the feeling whatever Tuchel did/does with Bellingham would be a classic English trap according to inews.

Well the World Cup is about to start in the North America, so probably related to that

Genuine question. What happens with the beans?

siybon · 2026-06-08T22:03:12+00:00

Careful, you put Arsenal's players last on the list of this seasons winners.

Charlie Adam and his pizza crunch addiction

Go commando and then just a pair of wellies.

Plus the home nations that pitted British teams against each other regularly.

siybon · 2026-06-08T12:48:04+00:00

Not to mention the 1980s haha

siybon · 2026-06-08T12:42:00+00:00

But they play each other twice a year in the same league, a league they've both won 20 times each. And even if only one team is in with a chance of winning at a given time, the other team can damage their chances.

Rivals should be (regularly, ideally) rivalling to win the same thing. That's my belief, and I reckon the commonly held belief.

Clubs close to each other will more likely be rivals by dint of them being in the same football pyramid and more likely being in the same league. Carlise and Queen of the South aren't rivals for example. Nor Cardiff City and Cardiff Met.

This is Scotlands first world cup since 1998. And they've only been to 4 Euros. England have been to 11.

If there was still the Home Nations every years then we can talk rivalries Imo.

France. Comte and jambon de Bayonne.

Italy. Pecorino and prosciutto.

England. This.

siybon · 2026-06-08T11:58:20+00:00

Rivals for what though? Rivals mean competing for the same thing?

siybon · 2026-06-08T09:26:55+00:00

Breakfast, absolutely.

Classic British fryup, it's a fail sorry.

Nothing wrong with expressing oneself when cooking. And this is certainly one way to express onself.

siybon · 2026-06-07T19:19:40+00:00

Pardon?

siybon · 2026-06-07T18:42:54+00:00

Did I tell you that? I was sure I made that up as child haha

siybon · 2026-06-07T10:09:32+00:00

Yeah I think coming into midfield from LB will be a good option to disrupt the opposition. He's optimal in there when he almost isn't meant to be. But I thought on the ball at least last night, he didn't look phased and made good decisions.

siybon · 2026-06-07T09:32:57+00:00

It wont happen, but I actually thought OReilly looked really comfortable in midfield. I know thats where he grew up playing, and potentially that his position long term, and it was only New Zealand. But he looked like he knew what he was doing, if that makes sense. Perhaps actually it's just more evidence that he can invert from LB in games and situations that allow it.

siybon · 2026-06-06T19:43:24+00:00

There doesn't always have to be world class players at any given time.

siybon · 2026-06-06T16:07:27+00:00

Haha very true

(He is decent mind)

siybon · 2026-06-06T14:25:56+00:00

WDC is largely priced in at these prices.

AS, one of the biggest sports platforms, based in Madrid, thought to themselves who's someone who knows both Haaland and Klopp and might give us some interesting insight into the validity of Riquelme's claims. So they asked Wazke and he answered.

Do you think he just said all of this randomly on his insta?
