    Godspeed Donk! May the Italians remember that your surname has a C in it better than we ever did

    If the goal line technology had worked we'd have been in the champo screaming blue murder about Kevin Friend disallowing Lansbury's legitimate equaliser against Palace due to a non-existent dive off a tackle that was an obvious penalty anyway; as it is things happily evened out and it's the usual suspects stuck in the void screaming, desperately awaiting the day they can take physical form and harass the living again I guess with the kind of people whose piss it still boils its probably funnier that they think the Hawkeye mess-up is some enormous cosmic injustice tbh

    Hell of a hit from Bamford. Why does he look like that now though, has he been in witness protection or something?
  4. Annoyman
    Short cameo but he looked good on the right with those diagonals going out to him
  5. Annoyman
    I mean they'd obviously rather have him available than not, but he's made 8 league appearances for them, not much of a sample size in terms of saying he's integral
  6. Annoyman
    He has a very enigmatic smile imo

    Voted Bailey for basically pulling up trees like a madman, but feel a bit bad not voting for Pau - it's an entertainment business and I principally want to watch him glide out of defense doing galaxy brain line-breaking passes and weird chest height diagonal through balls that magically dip onto the instep of the receiver Hoping that Diaby will also be in this conversation at the end of the season!

    I think with Doug holding his nerve and the crossbar being kind, we just scraped beating the record for our most ever home wins in a calendar year there? I nearly died. We were running on fumes a bit, but we also had enough chances fall to Diaby that it could have been one of the early-season home massacres on a different day. Looks like Carlos and Lenglet can play a part but not run the show, and above all else we really need to not have our best central defender deputising at right back. There are obviously things to work on but the points are on the board. Hopefully the recoveries go well for all the missing players and Digne's issue doesn't drag out. Strong 90 from Bailey, and two very good assists for Watkins.Diaby scored the trickiest one on his weak foot and then methodically missed every other chance he got trying to curl it in on his left. Would almost have been better for his confidence if the misses had come first but...there's a player in there? Was the pen soft? Would either of the Sheff Utd ones have been soft if they were given? Idk I don't even care any more

    "That Konsa yellow is stupid. Grown men should be able to regulate their emotions" is a hell of a take coming from, uh, the VillaTalk match thread
  10. Annoyman
    Oh god that was unbearable Doug I love you. Stared Trafford into submission for half an hour after the whistle went
  11. Annoyman
    There's enough attacking output there to hurt them, but that's the thinnest our bench has been for a while in terms of changing it up. Hopefully we can do some damage before half time or it'll get nervy.
  12. Annoyman
    Carlos was having a good game but that's suicidal
  13. Annoyman
    was he even onside?
  14. Annoyman
    Ugh losing a player to an offside
  15. Annoyman
    I was very clear in the pre-match thread that Leander Dendoncker would put us 2-0 up with a backheel flick
  16. Annoyman
    Schrodinger's ****
  17. Annoyman
    Tbf would you want to square it into the general region of Nicolas Jackson rn
  18. Annoyman
    Brave header, happy for him. He's maybe got a claim to a start soon, and have Diaby or Bailey come on as an impact sub as those two seemed to get in each other's way a bit as the match wore on. Still seems like a bit of a disciplinary liability tho?
  19. Annoyman
    As long as nobody buys a pie

    When Grealish draws fouls by doing that he brings the ball with him, Maupay was just like forget the ball I'mma just back into this guy who's chasing me
  21. Annoyman
    Konsa took a couple of his time-wasting yellows off him by pretending he was going to take a free kick and dithering over it
  22. Annoyman
    Idk man I make 6 figures a year being an excessively polite visiting fan on Redcafe and Arsenal-Mania, and it gives me something to occupy my time when my wife's out with her boyfriend
  23. Annoyman
    Agree with all that but that said: he needs to stop brandishing imaginary cards at refs even if he's right, could easily have picked up a fifth yellow in a couple of recent games for it
  24. Annoyman
    Hehe yeah Watkins is an incredibly thin-skinned cry baby, who should be deeply ashamed of (and possibly charged by the FA for) the heinous crime of pointing at a man. He has ruined any chance of ever having a good reception back at uh, the club that was chanting that he's a judas and a "**** Ivan Toney". This apparently partially stems from him "over-celebrating" in the 4-0 last season, which, idk, in his post-Gerrard malaise he looked so unlikely to hit a barn door that day I wouldn't have begrudged him a couple of extra backflips also thinking that ex-players have a duty to act like they're at a funeral when they score against you because a few players did stupid performative "look at me not celebrating" acts after scoring is a really pathetic development of recent years. Brentford aren't the Great Satan and they had a couple of booooorderline pen decisions go against them alongside the fairly straightforward red for Mee, which their fans are now venting about. Most of them aren't insane losers losing the run of themselves calling for legs to be broken. This is all kind of embarrassing and I feel like everyone involved needs to go home and calm down a bit, get charged by the FA for failing to control their players, levy some stern internal discipline and then play out a comparatively unremarkable Actual Football Match in the return fixture In the meantime our trophy drought continues, while the number of Premier League clubs to win the "would definitely have beaten Villa if not for the ref and all the players we had out" trophy reaches double figures for the season. Sad!

    You've never heard of former Wales International David Phillips? He was quite a mainstay of the 1980s and 90s game. I've known about him since I was about 10. Whenever I catch up with football fan friends of a similar age over a beer it will never be long before conversation turns to the fact that David Owen Phillips (born 29 July 1963) is a Welsh football coach, commentator and former player. As a player he was a midfielder and played in the Premier League for both Norwich City and Nottingham Forest. He also had lengthy spells in the top flight for both Manchester City and Coventry City as well as playing in the Football League for Huddersfield Town and Lincoln City. He retired in 2001 with non-league club Stevenage Borough. During his career he was capped 62 times by Wales, scoring twice. [no Brentford connection. 100 appearances for Cov but presumably he's just the kind of very dull, pedantic pundit that fans of both sides get equally mad at; he was pretty quick on the draw saying Mee should go off after that tackle]
