It's not even the right time of year for a "comparison to American sports" article.

It's the NBA playoffs right now, so they're desperately grasping for a way to somehow link that to whatever.

Ideal situation - Barca smash Bayern today. Players and fans turn on Pep... He calmly replies with a "F*ck this I'm off to Manchester lads". All hell breaks loose.

It'd be nice if he'd pick up Messi and throw him over his shoulder on the way out too. "You're coming with me mate".

Done.

TRP Post of the Month October 2021
Here are my thoughts.

The scoreline is largely irrelevant to me. It's never nice losing to them, but nothing was on the line and if you had offered me a 1-0 win where we were outplayed and came away with a flukey win, I wouldn't have taken it.

I'd be interested in possession stats because I thought we dominated. Maybe they are taught to defend a 1-0 lead with 10 behind the ball and look to score on the counter, but if that's their filosophee God help them. Arsenal won the league like that 25 years ago but the rest of football has moved on.

We didn't create that many really clear cut chances, but we moved the ball around nicely and the way we played was very easy on the eye. When we did create chances I thought it was because we had moved it round and opened them up - their chances were largely long punts that Wilson or someone else ran on to. Oh, and when their Belgian international went on a run and beat a couple of our 17 year olds.

I'm not sure I agree with the comments that none of our lads will ever make the first team. It is impossible to say 'this kid will be in the first team in 5 years' because the ones who look like they might get there may flatline and the ones that look some way off the pace maybe develop over the next 2-3 years. But they are playing the right way.

Vieira has built a team that plays really good football. They have not. That is the real victory.

I'm so lonely

some idiot on the internet posted:

Honestly, what does it say about the Red Bulls that so much of the online chatter in the lead-up to the game that drew press attention was generated by the team, and not by the fans? Why were red, checkered flags and a series of banners about the Big Apple being "Red" to the core left on the seats for the Red Bulls fans in the supporters sections, before the fans even showed up? Were those even made by the fans? Maybe so, but that wasn't evident to me. And who, exactly, made and raised the huge banner that went up in front of the Red Bulls supporters sections at the beginning of the game, the one mocking NYCFC as being 20 years late? Was it really the fans, as claimed in an article by Brian Lewis in The New York Post? Or was it the team's ownership?
...
We chanted, sang, and waved flags all along, and continued to do that outside the stadium, as we waited to get in. Inside, we stayed strong and loud for most of the match (this wasn't the first time I shouted myself hoarse for NYCFC). The wide array of creative outfits and props was truly impressive, from drums and flags to masks and wigs.

A LAD FROM HUYTON

Liverpool FC have seen great days
In FA Cup finals that have blown us away
Rushie – Keegan - Ian St John
Or little Michael Owen in 2001

But in 2006 we witnessed a dream
As a special player entered the scene
A player who’s become an all-time great
A lad from a Liverpool council estate

Sometimes it’s hard to put into words
When something magical has occurred
At the time...you don’t realise
That history’s unfolding before your eyes

But down in Cardiff one sunny day
History was made in a special way
Like the Matthews final in 53
2006 was the final...of Stevie G

We’ve seen some great players in our time
Players who go beyond that line
The type that never try to hide
The type who play with fire and pride

That kind of passion just can’t be bought
It can’t be coached and it can’t be taught
It’s working class – it’s raw – it’s mean
It’s a lad from Huyton...who loves his team

We didn’t think we were gonna win it
We even said a prayer in that last minute
Then a saviour came and set us free
A saviour by the name...of Stevie G

It was like a vision from a dream
One of the finest goals we’ve ever seen
We felt as though we were floating away
We knew from that moment, it was our day

Cometh the hour cometh the man
Cometh the life-long Liverpool fan
Cometh the kid who once stood on the kop
Cometh our seventh...FA Cup

In years to come we’ll always look back
To those times in Cardiff, the laughs, the crack
Four major trophies...great city, great buzz
The Millennium stadium was good to us

But of all those times, there’s one special day
2006...the 13th of May
The most complete performance ever seen
By a lad from Huyton...who reigns...supreme
