Again with the bukkake? This f***ing guy, I swear to God

The guy that got the OG was a Man U academy kid. Empathic response has all but dissipated.

Thanks Cobs! Didn't think anyone would actually reply

So, what minute are we up to, and what's the score? I feel like I live in a one-party state with a mad firewall. Well actually, I do.

Dixon-Bonner is one to watch out for FWIW. He's only 16 but he has breathtaking close control for a young lad and by most accounts is the best player to come out of Birmingham for years. I made that up.

I loved Westerveld when I was young. There was not enough empathic understanding of the effects of the ice on the ball, I thought.

Haha it actually feels like that, and like The Wire, and the memories of your favourite youthful holiday, you can ruin the rest of your life if you don't remind yourself to stop comparing whatever came after.

The fact that we now call the great Brazilian "Fat Ronaldo" says it all (about his metabolism)

We need to rest them more often from now on tbh, they must be bloody exhausted

He scored with a very dull poacher's finish in the six-yard box at 1.17 in this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3wzgDaRfgl4

It's won! We should be resting players for Champions League games from now on. I'd obviously prefer we won both, and broke 3 more records along the way, but yano...

We should forget all about records, rotate like peak Rafa and send the freshest team in Europe out to win number 7.

We're not at the races and Saints look very good. We'll win 2-0.

Wtf

True, and VVD has proven to be Another Star

Since Coutinho left we've lacked a Master Blaster

We need Sean O'Driscoll back to determine if our passes to the Shrewsbury players were still the right pass.

You're all t***s for hijacking my thread. On the other hand, here's a video of marching North Korean soldiers set to the Bee Gees. https://youtu.be/QbC6dLG_dQY

Ah Jesus, I'd forgotten the Mancs were in the other semi. Come on Citeh!

I wonder what Rhian Brewster would make of Stevie Wonders ouvre, were he to hear it.

No you've been excellent in keeping my spirits up while this thread was lagging. Thank you, Molby.

Meanwhile the Guardian says this in their live commentary of the Villa v Leiciester League Cup Semi Tbf, I think they have a point in their own snidey, arch way. We haven't won enough trophies in the last 15 years to be indifferent about one. And we can win all three without causing much harm to the 6 or 7 players who've barely got a start for bloody ages.

If you were really up to date, you'd know I just lied. It was a hat-trick in the QF, a hat-trick in the SF and a goal in the final. 7 in 3, and another one earlier in the tournament for a Golden Boot winning 8 in total. But you didn't, did you?

Yes, to be fair, I'm not actually convinced he's that good or that he'll make it with us, but I've adopted him as one of my pet players to follow just in case. I mean FFS, he scored 8 goals in three matches at the pointy end of an U/17s World Cup! If a Brazilian did that, I would probably assume he was too good to bother signing with us. (Before we got dead good, obviously.)

I've been dead against this I suppose his point about missing the game makes sense; it would be remiss for him to suddenly take over the management of a group of players he hardly knows when Critchley is far better placed to do it. Still don't see why some of them can't shorten their holidays and play some minutes when they've hardly played in recent times - and in that case Klopp would have less justification for not managing the match.
