Shame on you, LeeB! Shame on you!
Meatballs said it in an interview when asked about pranks! Actually!
And he also talked about bantering with Sean Dyche and his coat, but that then Burnley's boss made a comment first, and he came back with something, but it was reported as one-sided.
 McIneista antics are scottish folklore

It's Iniesta by the way, you need to brush up on your Spanish.

It was crass of Lee, though. I thought there was a growing fondness towards FV's quirky but often informative posts.

On one occasion, McGinn drove Cashy's car and parked it in the centre of the practise field before training. To get him back prank for prank.

Such banter won't occur under Emery since masterclass on the training pitch and in the analysis room will devote more time to teaching football strategy than to joking around.
Imagine McGinn pulling that stunt under Emery.



Did any of this happen outside of your head?

I think you need to bow to the font of superior information mate

I have to applaud the captain's performance in the second half today and writing specifically to do so.
I had noticed his poor positional play time and time again in the first half, leaving far too much space open for Cashy. He appeared to be lost as he drifted inside or committed careless fouls.

He made direct running in the second half and contributed to both goals.
He didn't have a consistent 90-minute performance, but he got better and better to my trained eye after the restart, even if he was still finding his way on his responsibility and keeping shape in the team.

Well played McIniesta.

A trained eye can lead to ed aches at the end of the day; sometimes in the morning or afternoon as well.

Meatball did his stuff. Again. I just don't think you understand.

There are games when you appreciate his physicality, today was one of those.
Involved in both goals.

You need to get Team Footy to be a bit more consistent in their output.

I think he has connected with other Footy’s across the multiverse and they all contribute to this forum. That when one untrained eye Footy comments on a thread and is ridiculed, the trained eye Footy comes in to replace him. Or one flounces off, he’s replaced shortly thereafter by an alternate model while the original one recovers. That’s also why we often see him on all the threads all the time at the same time. Because he literally is.

Foul play!
I called him clueless in the first half.
By the end of the game, he had demonstrated otherwise and was rightfully praised for how much he improved in the second half.
It's all there in my writings.
I'm having to defend myself like Prince Harry and his taliban comments as its just the same agenda by your mob by quoting out of context.
Extremely unjust.

Down with this sort of thing.
I'm on strike to further notice!

He was superb today, and last week.
