Oy, let's get four more now.

Experience

Oy. FIve minutes. So gd nervous

How is that not a red for Lyanco? Violent conduct TBH

FUCKING GET IN JOELINTON

JFC In the last 15 minutes their xG has gone from .17 to .90 while ours has sat still at 1.47 the whole time. Need to get something going.

Getting worried. Don't see us scoring the way things are going. Seem far more likely to lose one on the counter.

FFS

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE HOW CAN YOU MISS THAT? IT WAS HARDER TO MISS!

Oye. We're gonna lose this, aren't we?

Went for the toe-poke by Murphy simply because he did it twice.

We'll still find a way to lose this, mind.

That is unbelievable.

Fucksticks

Discussing a rebrand, I saw these online and thought they weren't bad. We'll see when they end up with a new crest, as I'm sure they will in the next few years. Meantime, I will probably go with the 70s crest, but if we win the Champions League I'll get Monkey's Fist's version on the other shoulder.

Getting a couple of tattoos done this upcoming week. Planning on doing an NUFC related one. For whatever reason I don't want to just do the current crest. Thinking of doing the old style one, though. Any thoughts or suggestions? Secondarily, which of these was actually used? I've seen them both on varying sites. The one on the right would be simpler (read: cheaper) to tattoo, but if the one on the left is more accurate to the club's history, it will give me something to think about.

One of my all time favorite football songs is one we used in 2006 against Italy: (To the tune of the Oscar Meyer Wiener jingle) Oh I'd love to be a f***ing diving wanker That is what I'd really like to be For if I were a f***ing diving wanker I could make my home in Italy

It's a fair point, but they've literally lost twice in 43 games, whereas Ecuador and Uruguay will qualify having lost six times each during qualification. Hell, Peru might qualify with more losses than wins. CONMEBOL has the largest margin for error in qualifying. Africa has the least, then Europe. Edited to add: To be fair, the conditions in South America and Central America and the Caribbean can be really extreme at times. I do not think European teams would fare tremendously better than most of the South American teams traveling to Quito, La Paz, or Mexico City.

They've lost two games in the last four years and won the Euros.

I absolutely loved the 1994 Italy squad. Baresi, Maldini, Baggio, Zola, Costacurta, Albertini, Donadoni.... Never really liked any of their squads since then as much. And actively disliked them in 2006 and 2010. Still, I want the World Cup to have the best teams in it, and there's little debate that Italy is one of those teams. One of the reasons I think there should be fewer spots for Asia, CONCACAF, and CONMEBOL.

Thought Almiron looked good today, tbh

Only word that came to my mind as a reaction was "fucksticks." Well, on reflection, "fartnuggets" works too

FFS the refereeing in the premier league is shit.
