Ah now. What kinda loon lists things like that.

You yanks need to unburden yourselves of all that positivity nonsense, it must be so tiring! Join the dark side of enjoying a good old cathartic moan!

I’m a football n00b so everything is exciting to me, but I can understand how someone who’s been watching a long time can get to a point of non excitement. I mean I quit watching baseball, then basketball and finally the gridiron for pretty much that reason.

Ignore Joe!! Fulham is one of the oldest London clubs and them making it right back to the PL is great!

I want Forest to make it because the first year I started watching the PL when i was about 7 or so Arsenal was my team but "The Tricky Trees" fascinated me (just the name) and they haven't been back since!

Honestly it’s just right now. I’m an edge of the seat fan and I love nothing more than tight exciting matches that have jeapordy. Im just currently depressed beyond belief watching the most bizarrely shit football team I’ve ever seen. It’s weird because it’s not talent, I’ve seen worse united teams that way, it’s just an utter lack of anything really. I’d almost rather that we were wank and at least put tonnes of effort in, there’s an honesty to that.

Also as someone who grew up in the north ish of England London is the big smoke full of all them soft Londoners. They don’t know they’re born down south. And all that. I’ll always prefer a northern on midlands club doing well.
 
Could have been worse than 4-0. Had to laugh at sky constantly trying to big United up at 2-0 talking about how if they got a goal they could get back into it....not a chance.

Liverpool were good but United had worse stats than a non league team. That was pathetic. Way worse than the 5-0. No one expected any result for United from this game so you would think that at least the players could play with less pressure and maybe even express themselves. Absolutely no fight. Glad quite a few are leaving and the club needs to tear up contracts on a few others.

It wasn’t worse than the 5-0. I know it’s kind of pointless arguing about with low bar was lower but we were 5-0 after 50 minutes and Liverpool actually gave up out of mercy. That’s the most humiliating moment ever for me as a fan, our biggest rivals came to our ground and were so far ahead they showed us mercy. That whole couple of weeks when then city then played with us rather than just killing us. Eugh I’m depressed.

I agree with the false hope after half time. United did have a little spell but they didn’t really do anything to earn it, Liverpool just took their eye completely off the ball for 15 minutes and we managed to get a sniff from that. The scare when van Dijk and Allison were fucking about with the ball in the corner woke them up again and after that it was just comfortable again.

Honestly if im Ragnick any player going in the summer is gone now. Don’t play them. Not even part of the squad, training with the reserves. Bring the kids in, give them 6 games, a bit of experience, we’ve nothing to lose and at least that will guarantee some effort.

So people shatting on the south is not just a US thing! Lol 😆

Perhaps but it’s kinda inverted. The north was the industrial powerhouse historically but since deindustrialisation had seen a succession of governments carry out a managed decline in favour of investment in London, the city and the service economy.

Ahh indeed

Well as long as we can agree that Fulham is not the worst club in that area then cheers 😂😎🤭

Oh I know, I just don’t particularly dislike Chelsea any more than any of the other London sides. I used to like old spurs with their fancy football and strange managers and implosions but not so much since Levy got in there. I liked their Klinsmann season in the mid 90s when they pretty much played without tactics or any semblance of a plan and just threw loads of talented forwards on, they were a lot of fun to watch!
