Loudest the fans have been all game and it's to celebrate them conceding, what the actual fuck is wrong with that club man

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Don't know how anyone can expect them to win anything with that mentality

City winning the title is such an anticlimax. Boring.

Feel free to use this tomorrow as a match thread for the City game btw lol

[–] soycapitan451@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I dont know that I have the fortitude to watch it. 1) Spurs are so shit that I see very little point in it. 2) I had enough of supporting chaos bullshit ball under Emery to last a life time- and that's been you add the shit sauce into the mix.

I've conceded, just going to enjoy Sunday. I mean it's still pins and needles watching the games but far less stressful and more enjoyable this season.

On a side note, I didn't really like the second episode of this season of Doctor Who...it was like that scene in Multiverse of Madness but expanded.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The annoying thing is it was the best scene in MoM, but done worse :p Space Babies was brilliant though I thought. Also it's kinda funny how this community has now just basically become partially about Doctor Who XD though honestly we can talk about whatever in Daily Discussion that's the point

[–] gunnerfra@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Space Babies was ruined by that constant Disney soundtrack in the background, killing the dialogue and sound effects a lot of the time.

That being said, Maestro is good, and the acting was great; the story just didn't quite hit for me.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Oh no Maestro was good, but I agree with my friend, all we could think about was Hocus Pocus

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

And maybe it's cuz I'm jumping between Matt Smith and Ncuti, but the effects feel very excessive. It's not dingy enough for Doctor Who, you know what I mean?

[–] soycapitan451@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

My 6 year old, not bothered about snot monsters, but is now terrified of being attacked by musical notation...

Gotta admit, I'm not sold on this iteration of the doctor yet, but I was the same with all the new Who's aside from Peter Capaldi. But I loved him as Malcolm Tucker beforehand.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Tbh they should've done the music differently, just using notation in the same way as MoM felt almost lazy in a way?

Yknow what would've been cool: if it worked like sonic waves instead — then you could have more interaction with the new totally-still-a-screwdriver.

It absolutely is hilarious that Spuds fans absolutely do not understand the monetary implications of them losing out on CL. Pathetic bunch.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 4 points 6 months ago

How much space are Spuds giving City down the flank holy shit

In hindsight, that January window with Trossard, Jorginho, and Kiwior was a masterpiece; we'd be fucked if we didn't have any one of them this season.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Varane is being released LMFAO

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The Spurs fans are cheering louder than the City fans. Not that that's hard, but still

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Get them fucking caffeine enemas going for those Sp*rs

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

We're never going to get to a point where players are punished equally for fouls.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

looooooool this is the Spursiest way to lose

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

It makes me chuckle to think of the spuds fans' glee over this loss. I bet most of them think all gooners are raging or in tears about this.

Joke's on them. Many of us kind of knew City would win this one (and almost certainly the league). But at the end of the day our team has gone toe-to-toe against one of the best teams in the world, and our lads can hold their heads high.

Finishing on even 86 points; with our keeper winning the golden glove; and the lads not being defeated by any other top six teams is just amazing. We have one of the best young managers in the game who loves our club to his core. An amazing squad that is still improving game by game, and who play some of the best football in the world. The club is being run by guys who are formidable in the transfer market. And we have owners who, love them or hate them, have backed us very well financially for a few seasons now. We are on the up, and finishing a narrow second this season is nothing to be ashamed of.

Meanwhile, Spurs has a shaky squad that has faded hard, a joke of an owner, a thoroughly disillusioned manager, and a fan base that gets more joy out of seeing their team lose than win.

So enjoy you 15 minutes of gloating at our expense, spuds. We'll be back even better and stronger next season. Where will you be? Lmao

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

So about 95% of spuds fans hate their more successful rival than they love their own club. And the minority who are hoping for a win today are being slated by the rest as 'glory hunters' and fake fans.

Though TBF, there's not much to love about that wretched organization. Maybe they should go back to being a cricket club.

Walters apparently refused our contract offer and is leaving. Those early PL draws in the cups are gonna come back to bite us huh.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's going to keep happening, unfortunately. On one hand, the level of our academy had to catch up with the senior squad's improvement, but at the same time, it's very disappointing to see almost none of our academy players get a run out.

[–] woolwich1886@mastodon.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@sensiblepuffin @Astrealix it's a reflection of just how strong our XI is but also of Arteta's reluctance to rotate. Maybe next season will feature deeper EFL & FA Cup runs against some sides outside the Prem, giving academy players more chances

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I kind of disagree with Arteta's attitude that we have to try and win every single match (with regards to the cups). I would much prefer we play a core of Odegaard + Saliba + Gabriel, then slot in as many academy up-and-comers as possible. I'm sick of seeing Saka booted up and down the pitch (even harder than usual) and our entire squad's fitness depleted for no real reward.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Tbf he does rotate in the cups, the problem is that the fringe players aren't good enough to win lmfao. The fringe players do need game time. My main complaint was just that game against PSV we coulda rotated more, but it is the Champions League and we did already rotate some.

Son Heung-min you've got to bury that.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

You know it's a biased decision when they absolutely refuse to show a replay on TV, instead choosing to just show us the manager drinking water

[Alasdair Gold] Postecoglou is fuming: "The foundations are really fragile. The last 48 hours have shown me that. It's inside the club, outside the club." He then spoke about changing the mentality around the club and making changes.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You gotta feel for Ange. He actually wants to do a proper job and you got this culture inside and out. Mourinho is 100% correct about Spurs.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I think he's gonna end up resigning at some point. How do you manage a team like them? I feel like it's genuinely not gonna change unless they straight up get relegated. When you can be happy with losing a game, you've no longer got a football club.
