Jeez, I feel like I'm gabbing now so apologies in advance.

Interesting that Wenger went for the now de rigueur of three at the back then says "Yes, it is the first time in 20 years. That shows you that even at my age, you can change,". Aye, 6 months after seemingly everyone else jumped on the bandwagon.

Weird how something like formation is subject to trends and the like. Look forward to Guardiola having 'brainwave' of 4-4-2 in a couple of years.

The problem will be who's available to them. Plus every team will know they've got lots of dosh burning a hole in their pocket so are guaranteed to inflate prices when dealing with them.

Anyway, Lukaku leaving Everton is great news for West Ham. Even in a dry spell, he ALWAYS scores against us. If we bought him the fucker would probably open his account with an own goal, just out of habit.


Head says Bayern-Real, heart says Leic-Atletico.

I think the heart's winning out on this one.


That sounds to me like a code for "I'm staying'


Yeah, like an ironic postmodern retro-formation. Probably have his players train with an orange mitre and wearing 80s-era disco shorts.




It's gabbering that's got us to 400+ pages so far. Gabber on.

gabba gabba hey

so im dreading today's bayern-real madrid

i'll watch from a sense of duty and with fingers crossed

dammit

Which is why Walsh is a great signing. He's the one who got Mahrez, Kante and Vardy et. al to Leicester.


Roll on Saturday :D


Hail Wenger

Haha bring those total leave-nothing-to-the-imagination shorts back

watching the warmups they have on a bayern is wearing white. wtf kind of omen is this?

an also madrid in blue, chelsea-looking.

im confused

--

well actually i've been confused all day so i don't blame the tv

madrid bitches are booing bayern lineup

fuckem

--

ETA: oh yeah they have the right shirts now lol

bayern on the defense looks nervous so far. a bunch of little stupid mistakes

on the offense even though they're the one who need to score they have created less danger than madrid

--

and alaba shoots the moon. literally.

the other thing i've noticed is that madrid attacks in pairs or trios, whereas when bayern counters it's just a lonely individual with no support vs 4 defenders. the latter method never bodes well.

--

if this were a boxing match madrid would be ahead on points

All right Lewandowski! Now we just need one more, King Arthur!

not "one more" of those, how he dodged the red card minutes earlier eludes me

Switching to the Bayern game now they've scored and Leic have gone another goal down.

they're 1-1 now

i mean lester

costa for ribéry and in his best side is promising

ancelotti going for broke keeping vidal

this is getting good

holy shit and mueller in. it's all offense now

oh fuck ronaldo bitch

--

he's jsut so fucking good. i hate him.

OH YEAH YEAH YEAH BAYERN WAT IS DIS!!!!!

Yow, now we're heading to Penalties Blvd....

It was too early in the match - you know the unwritten/unspoken rules of the beautiful game... ;)

casemiro and vidal are even now

and now he gets carded for getting the ball///????

FUCKED UUUUUUUUUUP

FUCKED UUUUUUUUUUUP

--

it was ancelotti's gamble

gotta score now

--

kimmich? who for?

this is a bizarre game. highly memorable too. bananas.

ah, shit, this asshole again, and from offside

well. fuck. i'm not sure. bayern fought well. some unlucky calls, and that little 7 sonofabitch as usual with his insufferable ways.

damn.

i'm not sore about it. or so i'd like to think.

--

except for that last goal. now i'm sore. shit.
