  1. I don’t have anything against him at all. He’s just hilariously Partridge-y in just about everything he does, which is endearing more than anything.
  2. Yeah, Utsiktens are a bit pointless (I say that with nothing but respect for their achievements) and Häcken are a bit meh, so a competitive IFK and GAIS derby would be fantastic.
  3. Reminds me of a manager (Henning Berg of Blackburn and Man Utd fame) in Norway way back when who was livid the ref didn’t give his side a pen for what he thought was a blatant handball in the area. Upon being presented with video of the incident in his post-game interview, showing that there had clearly never been any handball, he stuck to his guns replying «yeah, but there’s no way the ref could have seen that it wasn’t handball».
  4. Brilliant. Very much reminds me of another club that I know very well. Hope IFK stay up with GAIS looking set for promotion. Will be a cracking derby and good for football in GBG.

    Daniel Day-Lewis to play Emery in the film about Villa’s revival, then?
  6. Requires basic digital skills, unfortunately. Brucie’s a typewriter kind of guy.
  7. Anti-fascist/left-wing ultras.
  8. This is interesting. I used to agree with it, but I’m not sure anymore. Part of me thinks nation states are necessary, and pretty much the ideal size and contains the right level of social trust for organising a functioning welfare state. On the other hand, there are obvious issues the nation state either creates or can’t solve.
  9. L’OM AEK fanfreundschaft tifo.
  10. I was there. In the away end. The amount of pyro used for this game was delicious, even if it did cost me a good pair of gloves (no comments on the game)
  11. I’m off sick today and the missus is wfh. I’ll ask her what it’s like trying to record video lectures whilst I’m disposing of last night’s Guinnesses in the next room.
  12. Stockholm derbies are world class for atmosphere.
  13. We are so good at football. Dougie should be up for Ballon d’Or next year.

    That may well be He is known only as, and this is true, «the Pocket Man».

    Good on you. Bergen is nothing but rain, dysfunctional politics and Norway’s most famous paedophile
  16. Passively accepting the status quo is an attitude. You’re entitled to it, but I’m not going to do that.
  17. ‘Can’t change it’ is an attitude. And I refuse to be lulled into it.
  18. Well, not with that attitude. But why can’t I love Aston Villa and still hate modern football?
  19. Or, you know, not do any of those things? Football belongs to the people.
