Roy Keane doing the standard hindsight analysis he borrowed from Neville.

Donnarumma probably wants to see the ball so he can shuffle to either side. It's inch perfect.

This type of lazy analysis (shout out to Sturridge for speaking up) is the same as VAR wanting to correct every minor detail.

Honestly I think every football fan in the world thinks this too. Both fouls rule each other out.

I hate him but gotta agree with Gary.. there's no way you can drag this back.

Salah might be the worst player on the pitch.

Gary Neville claims he thought and saw everything would happen immediately after watching it.

Honestly, the absolute worst. He's basically the English Andy Gray at this point.

Do we know if those on VAR duties listen to the matches they cover with or without commentary?

How long before Neville says that City should go more direct again?

If they thought we were in a painful rebuild now, they'd hate to see the job on our hands being in the Championship.

Every time my number of appearances on the pod start to catch up with Romero's card count, he pulls away again.

But I will be on tonight. It's a form of therapy at this point. Come and see the Doctor.

Spurs deserved nothing but a few solid performances.

Romero is never going to get the benefit of the doubt when he's spent all season being a mental case.

Thought that second United goal got checked very quickly. Looked like Sesko got a touch and Bruno was offside but who knows?

07.02.2026 14:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

McCoist still doubling down on Bruno shinning it being a fantastic finish. Give your head a wobble.

I also think, sadly, a lot of it is driven by what gets a reaction. There is an element of appealing to those eternally angry folk but so much of it is based on getting people to interact with a story rather than providing information. Like a form of YouTube clickbait thumbnails but with politics.

This obsessive need to appease the flag-shaggers is what's cost Starmer the left. Instead he chose to target the poor, elderly and those desperate to start a new life here which goes against the very people who voted for him.

We are the ones that have been let down here, not you.

Whilst there are obviously still some very good people at the BBC it's been lost to the grifters for some time now. It went from being a spokesperson for Boris to sucking the teat of Farage. It's essentially a propaganda tool, especially in their political/editorial side. A national embarrassment.

05.02.2026 12:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And this particular story is beyond bogus. They aren't "illegal immigrants" but rather asylum seekers who are forced to wait months/years for their application to be processed. And the taxis? Firms using out of town companies to charge even more because the government is picking up the tab.

The only hope โ€“ despite the clear evidence of there being next to none โ€“ is this pushes everyone to the Greens/Lib Dems (even if they burned me last time I switched from Labour). Starmer never understood/cared what the left wanted and targeted the poor and elderly immediately. Tory-lite.

Thought you were just talking about the first tweet from Windy. And I was like, I'm sure he appreciates you admiring his ability to cross off jobs before sitting down to listen to the latest waffle. ๐Ÿคฃ

I can't wait to see the chatgpt response from VinAI & the gang for why this transfer window โ€“ the last with TWO sporting directors โ€“ was a total wet fart.

The squad planning only makes sense if we still had Kane & Son to carry the team. Someone should tell the Lewis family they left in 2023 & 2025.

I love him. He's a proper bastard. His tackles are constantly on the edge of reckless but he gets almost all of them right. I'd have him in my squad every week.

Now whether he wants to be a squad option rather than a guaranteed starter, I'm less sure of.

His commentary has been terrible for a while now. His ego is out of control and he refuses to back down or ever admit he got something wrong.
