Not the words of Arteta, but Herr Klopp. Now, that seems a little disingenuous to me, but he`s clearly on board with you with regards to embracing lowered expectations! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is extremely unlikely that I would actually do anything about arranging to travel though, so it may as well be in Europe just for the convenient kick-off times. Needless to say, I am not thinking of us all with this observation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ace card in South American deck is that 2030 will mark 100 years since the first World Cup and Uruguay is one of the nations bidding. And as far as the start times for games, I only had a problem with the 6.30am games I had to endure during the Japan/Korea championships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife told me at the time, "Don't be so happy, refs like to help the host nation". Boy, was she right...about later stages of the tournament that is, because against Poland, no help needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 If I had my time again, I think I would be a glory hunter and support a club that I had some confidence in. It shouldn`t be the case, but I would expect Brighton to continue their run of good form against us as we are all of a muddle at the moment. The question as to whether Conte can break Tottenham (which means make them genuine contenders) or Tottenham will break Conte (quitting in hair-thinning confusion) still hangs heavily in the autumnal air.

Scotland seem to play Croatia a lot which is a problem, as Modric is clearly the first immortal man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Today was another shit sandwich. I'm not sure what the problem is, but, then, Jurgen Klopp isn't either. At least he's getting paid millions to try to figure it out. I'm just opening another beer. Oh, what's that, Man City next? That's bloody lovely. Anybody but Arsenal!

That's bloody lovely. Anybody but Arsenal! It doesn`t take a lot to be wrong to slip from your high standards, breathing the rarefied air that is Top 2 with City for so long. I`m not sure it looks great though, right now. There appear to be more than a few issues. I watched the game in a pub and not only was I horrified by how many Arsenal fans were in Dundee, I was also shocked by how Klopp`s Heavy Metal Football™ seems to have turned into playing Madrigal on a loop. Salah too wide > TAA has to come inside < Huge space behind > Opposition kick into gap > VvD still a Rolls Royce, but in a knackered old once famous brand name way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
