Why is the YMCA on?! How random 😂

It's Tump's entrance song.

It's embarrassingly bad

Gawd, how cringeworthy and BORING was that - the draw itself dragged on endlessly and the rest of it was tiresome. Wayne Gretsky mispronouncing country names just summed it up, and the less said about the execrable Rio Ferdinand, the better. Poor Scotland got shafted again while Croatia and England must be sick of the sight of each other.

I know this is not the point of the thread but dress rehearsal for what?? 👀

Much more interesting than the draw...

I’m wardrobe mistress at our local am dram theatre, yesterday and today are dress rehearsals for our panto of Alice in Wonderland. Show opens tomorrow until the 13th.

Hope it all goes well, and you get full houses. Don't worry, I'm not 'behind you'!

I remember you telling us about it last year, sounds like good fun again.

Good luck and enjoy

Arsenal a defensive mess there

I think defensive injuries have really not helped there at all!

Blows the race wide open again (for Man City)

DuncinToffee · 06/12/2025 14:40

Villa have shaken off their bad start to the season and I think were the better team today

OP posts:
DuncinToffee · 06/12/2025 17:23

Great match and a great result for us!

5th for the time being

OP posts:
Tiswa · 06/12/2025 20:23

Everything is so so tight Spurs are 3 points off 4

and the only two teams who have really benefitted for this 3 match period are Villa and City

DuncinToffee · 06/12/2025 21:32

We stay 5th for a bit longer Grin

It is really tight.

Well done Messi/Beckham/Inter Miami

I'm stunned at what Mo Salah has apparently said tonight. You're the vice captain of the club FFS, Mo - how about showing some leadership instead of making it all about you? I am honestly appalled.

Brefugee · 06/12/2025 22:14

what did he say?

Tiswa · 06/12/2025 22:15

he is doing a coup against Slot

JasonTindallsTan · 06/12/2025 22:15

Mo Salah’s head has completely fallen off @burblish, I thought it was a parody account at first but saw it was Fabrizio Romano.

Unfortunately it comes across as being in very bad taste and incredibly me me me.

burblish · 06/12/2025 22:19

@Brefugee It's being reported by all major newspapers, the BBC etc. Saying he is being thrown under the bus by the club, that he now has no relationship with the manager, he has earned the right to his position in the team, blah blah. I think the level of criticism he has faced this season has been unfair but this is beyond pathetic - he has been on the bench and his ego can't take it. Compare with how Andy Robertson has dealt with being benched for an under-par Kerkez - Robbo is setting the example of leadership that Mo should have been. But no, it's all about the Mo Show for Salah. So, so disappointing.

Being compared unfavourably to Jacob Murphy this week was obviously the last straw 🤣🤣

I get why Salah is angry, I do. But speak to the manager about it, not the press, FFS.

He is doing a coup for definite. He is basically saying it is him or me. You get rid of the manager or I go.

and I suspect he hasn’t done it without some of the other players being aware.
