40 odd years of only 2 clubs winning the league is boring af. I reckon i'd be bored shitless of it even if I was Glasgow born fan of one of those two.

It does feel like a generational event. Probably even longer than once a generation also.

Celtic fans mainly just care about "supporting" a team that wins loads of trophies, no different to Man U/Liverpool etc glory-hunters.
And singing songs of support for the IRA

In Birmingham!!!!

God forbid people support armed resistance against invasion and colonisation. I assume we’d all prefer to be typing in German?

There are 21 people who if were still here would disagree with you.

Let’s bring it back to football (kind of) shall we and this is little incident in the game between Zaragoza and Huesca. The Zaragoza keeper, his team having lost the game gets red carded and then does this.

Apparently the Huesca keeper and another Zaragoza player got sent off in the resultant brawl.

Really? They’d think we shouldn’t resist invasion by a foreign state?

There are thousands upon thousands of innocent Irish victims if we’re counting.

My girlfriend has given me the bedroom nickname 'Arsenal'. I start well, spend ages on top, celebrate prematurely, and finish second.

The last bit's good, both in the case of Arsenal and your lovemaking.

In a similar scenario, my ex- called me Norwich: I'm small, yellow and usually shit, but at least I always go down.

Simons to miss rest of season and World Cup - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cy0101p91z3o

Not much sympathy for Spurs, saw the tackle on MOTD
Similar to the one Palinha crocked Dougie with.

Apparently the FAC final will be the 34th time ManC have played at Wembley in the last 15 years. Much as I want us to win stuff I don't think i'd enjoy us being that dominant. Am I the only one?

Unless MOTD ultra-analysed it from multiple directions, nothing alike as Simons extended his leg ahead of the ball to try to cut back behind the defender and with it exteneded, twisted and his weight plus the defender leaning on him, it went.

The one on Kamara, the skill had done Paulinha and he decided that the player still wasn't getting past and jammed his leg in the way which meant Kamara's knee hit full force into Palinha's planted leg and folded the wrong way.

No. They were dead eyed in 2019 when were there.

One team being this dominant is not good for the game, putting aside the questions marks over how it's been achieved. The final is desperately unappealing, but the media will build it up expecting a classic whereas most fans will shrug their shoulders.

Apart when we are at a League or FA final,I can't remember when I watched it fully, it's been that long
