Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Anyhoo...howay Fulham.

 

The EL is the bigger competition unfortunately, but easier to win this season based on who was played. I mean, two of Englands ****test premier league sides made the final.

I'm just happy to win something.... Like seriously just thank God for that.

If we end up missing out on the champions league it's a competition Newcastle would be favourites to win and it lands CL, so perhaps that's not a bad thing.

I've decided I'd like Man United to win, because I want Tottenham to move towards Everton in the decades. Man United deserve it having at least played Lyon and Bilbao.

 

Interesting... what are your measurement criteria? ...

 

Leicester away today for what might actually be the lowest quality PL game ever. What a time to be alive.

 

We won the Charity Shield in the 1970s having never won the FA Cup or the Top division at the time ... that's because we are awesome ... and humble...

 

Painting sister-in-laws living rooms in Cardiff instead ... it was a close call ... but the lure of using Farrow & Ball paint and numerous proper Welsh bacon sarnies tipped the excitement westward...

 

It really doesn't matter, It's not easy to win anything and that's the bottom line. I'd make a case winning anything domestically in England is more difficult than winning the EL now, but winning any trophy involves big challenges.

I don't agree with ToonArmy1892 though, because the league cup is the smallest of all majors, other than the conference league, which really is the subsidiary cup competition and Villa failed to win that, so again it's not easy winning anything.

We've reached a point where some clubs and fanbases have vanished so far up their arses that winning FA Cups league cups and europa leagues isn't good enough for them, but they all enjoy winning them when push comes to shove.

 

We got to the semi-final of the Europa Conference League and lost to Roma ... Chelsea could play Fiorentina in this season's final ... so winning it is not really a cakewalk at all ...

 

Any of our resident Toon fans heading down to B-town for the weekend?

 

That's why I mentioned villa failing, but I didn't use Leicester as an example because they're no longer a Premier league club.

 

you're very well trained aren't you

 

for PL teams tis now that the EL 3rd placed teams don't drop down into it .

 

Technically we are until the four remaining fixtures are played ... and then we will depart for another short sojourn in the Championship secure in the knowledge that in the last 50 years we have won 2 League Cups to Newcastle United's one ... not to mention a Premier League title, the FA Cup and the (extremely prestigious) Community Shield... damn ... I said not to mention it ... my bad ... sorry ...

 

What happened the first 80? 4 league titles and 6 FA Cups that still count fosse.

I'm sorry I ruffled your feathers, but I didn't use Leicester as Villa carried some relevance.

 

Enjoy it mate ... started my working life as an assistant manager at McDougall Rose (Decorators Merchants - subsidiary of ICI - Dulux) in Leicester back in 1983 - worked there for 3 years - learnt a lot from the tradesmen and ended up doing a few moonlighting jobs with some of the drivers and warehouse staff (we could buy the paint at huge discount) to get holiday money together ...

So been doing it for decades before Sucky was even a dot on his Dad's Giro ...

Not taking any money for it but sister-in-law will keep me in beer and excellent takeaways from Canton for the weekend

 

How many did you see? ... I saw all of ours... drops mic... leaves

 

It's about the club's not me.

Mic drop? Jesus Christ are you wearing a backwards cap and shades? Leicesters version of vanilla ice.

 

I am indeed known as Häagen-Fosse throughout rural Leicestershire... now need to get on (and to Cardiff) so laters

 

Fat arse Fosse more Likely.

Have nice weekend

 

Good call. I love a bit of painting but not sure I've ever used F&B. I think because my day-to-day job doesn't have it the appeal of finishing a day and seeing tangible progress on a task is so satisfying. A few years back my wife took the kids away for a weekend so I could complete a few painting tasks and I spent the entire time just working with the radio on - wouldn't want to do it every day but it was great.

Leicester v Southampton would, I suspect, genuinely be worse than watching paint dry.
