Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted December 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 27, 2023 Lovely that. Jurgen was absolutely brilliant throughout. Sometimes you watch these videos and the meet and greet parts feel really short and rushed - Jurgen gave him the time of day and physically pushed him around in his chair. A lovely, lovely watch.

I loved him saying how he likes being called Kloppo since college because Jurgen isn’t a nice name, or “Yeargun” as he’s called here.

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted December 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2023 West Ham are on a mad one. One minute they're flying, the next minute they get a couple of spankings, then they're flying again and into the top 6 as it stands. What a job David Moyes has done there. I genuinely don't think the football they play is that bad either. This notion of playing a certain way does baffle me slightly and I think it's largely a persona trait when it comes to a manager - they get tarred with a certain brush. I know they were on the defensive last night for the most part, but they always put together some good passages of play and they've got some tidy players. Rice giving away a penalty at the end in front of the Hammers fans, couldn't make it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost had a flutter on them but decided against it at the last minute. Wise move. Does anyone else have any weird rules they've set themselves when putting together their bet slips/accas when it comes to certain teams? Some of mine - Never add Norwich to the slip. They'll only let you down, or if you have them on a BTTS acca, you're openly willing another team to score against them. Barnsley - 'Never bet on the Dingles' as a friend once told me. Twice they've been the only team left for me on an acca not to do the business. Ipswich - Similar to my reasons about Norwich. Northampton/Cambridge/Leyton Orient - I nearly always look out for these three teams and who they are playing and nine times out of ten, no matter how good or how shit they are playing in terms of form, they nearly always come through for me. Northampton and Leyton Orient once came through for me in the same match with the score at 0-0 deep into injury time. Goals in the 95th and 98th minutes gave me a lovely Brucie Bonus.

Going there any other way would've been madness. And it worked, as it did against Spurs, so was completely justified. Obviously I couldn't enjoy it as they're both cunts equally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 Moyes was pretty short odds to get the boot a few weeks ago. What more could West Ham ask of him, they almost look like they might not be a yo-yo team under him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2023 The job Moyes has done this season after they didn't directly replace Rice is remarkable. But the stink of his United run (a lot of which is no fault of his own) means that he's always going to be one of those managers that fanbases will always be looking for excuses to fuck off.

Never back Forest. I'm sure that most will have a rule though about never sticking their own team down on an acca, out of bad luck or for fear of jinxing it more than anything else probably. We are shite though, so solid advice. Never, ever back the 12:30 kick offs on an acca. As a one off result, maybe, but never on an acca. If doing a BTTS, half my acca are teams from Scotland, particularly the Championship, League 1 & 2. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that a lot of the time, they mostly all come in. Check out these from just before Christmas: Spoiler SCOTTISH LEAGUE ONE Cove Rangers 1 Alloa Athletic 2 Hamilton Academical 1 Falkirk 3 Kelty Hearts 0 Montrose 1 Queen of the South 3 Edinburgh City 1 Stirling Albion 1 Annan Athletic 1 SCOTTISH LEAGUE TWO Elgin City 0 The Spartans 4 Forfar Athletic 2 Dumbarton 4 Peterhead 2 Clyde 1 Stenhousemuir 2 East Fife 1 Stranraer 3 Bonnyrigg Rose 1 Birmingham City, Bolton and Tranmere. Never come in for me so avoid them like the plague. Also, similar to your Barnsley Dingles rule, I never go for Notts Co. or Mansfield.

Yeah, there's a lot of West Ham fans who are almost pissed off when he gets a result or two, because they know it'll keep him around longer.

SuperBacon Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 This is absolutely fantastic. This is about Osasuna and Navarra, and is half history lesson and football documentary. Copa 90 can sometimes be a bit too 'Mundial' (and that's from someone who actually subscribes to Mundial magazine!) but their docs are always brilliant, and Eli Mengem is a great presenter. If you've never seen their Derby Days docs, do so, especially the Boca - River one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
