    If I was Rams I would be training ball control, long passing, short passing, even dribbling 3 hours a day at minimum.

    And when I come home I would put my vr setup and play for at least 2 hours lol

    I get so annoyed when people refer to the league as just “Barclays”. Nobody calls La Liga the “Santander” or Ligue 1 as the “UberEats”. It’s such a small thing but it does my head in 😂

        That’s the thing! It is just Premier League!! And people still just call it Barclays. I just read something on F365 about Wenger and the writer referred to “the first 15 years of Barclays”…it wasn’t even sponsored by Barclays at all until 2001.

        As I said, such a minor thing but…grrrrr

          To be honest with you, a lot and I mean a lot of people outside of the UK, that are not in finance, have no idea Barclays is a bank.

          It’s a proper fancy sounding English word, that goes well with premier.

      Up there.

      Chelsea, PSG, United, City, Newcastle are all clubs I loathe. I hate Tottenham too but I feel they are more of a proper football team than all of those.

      Time for the usual refrain, “I hate Spurs because I’m a gooner. I hate Chelsea because I’m a human.”

        If you count Cech, he was supposed to come to arsenal before he went to Chelsea.

        He didn’t play here at his peak so I don’t know.

        Ok, I remember one.

        Marcos was almost an Arsenal. Top 10 Brazilian GKs.

    Another two unsuccessful Silver ballots. Now have a 1/9 success rate, so will be lucky to get to two games this season.

    How’s everyone else faring?

    How do you guys think the fanbase would react if that 4-4 game with Newcastle happened nowadays? Just got reminded of it in the arsenal game recommendations post and remember how livid I was after that shit.

    It’s funny how it was only last season where Xhaka got Jorginho pissed.

    Feels like J20 has been with us much longer lol

    Never forget when Sissoko gave away a handball penalty 30 SECONDS into the biggest game in Tottenham’s history.

      Sounds very much like an FM sketch, underdog team defies all odds throughout the season, and on the final hurdle vs the big giants, fails with the simplest of mistakes.
