so here we are, our europa league journey has ended and without further ado heres the post match analysis:

well that was a complete and utter shitshow right from the start. as soon as the whistle blew for kick off it was like the whole squad heard that as their sign to just not even try. normally when we lose i can still somehow get some positives out of a loss but this time i really cant. the only positive is that harry maguire and david de gea after yesterday’s fuckery most certainly don’t have a future at this club. i never really rated de gea like yeh he has the odd game where he is good but more often than not during these losses its almost always his fault.

maguire should never have signed for man united and he should never been made captain, its unfortunate that luke shaw was injured and only came back yday bc he should’ve been in centre back not maguire or even put casemiro at cb (which is probs what we will do on sunday). maguire is a complete disgrace as is de gea and for the life of me i cant remember a single performance in a united shirt where maguire has not been fucking dogshite.

as soon as we went 2-0 down we should’ve immediately responded and tried to get 2 to try and take it to extra time and penalties but the players just did not have it in them to even try, they deserved to lose and kudos to sevilla there is a reason why they have won this comp 6 times. n ppl saying oh they are shit in la liga we are good in prem we should’ve won, football don’t work like that. look at west ham, absolutely thriving in the conference league but are fighting relegation in the prem, even chelsea they managed to get to the quarter finals and yet they can still mathematically get relegated in the prem. even frankfurt last year, finished 11th in bundesliga and won the europa league, some times like sevilla just absolutely thrive when it comes to european nights

i dont have anything else to say other than im glad we went out now bc if we went out in the semis it would’ve been far more painful n say we did make it to the final, if we lost it would’ve been heartbreaking

anyways we move on these things happen in football learn from the mistakes and full focus on brighton for the fa cup semi final up the reds

edit: forgot to give it a rating and its getting 0/10 abysmal performance

Last Day of the Premier League ⚽

Right lads, I don't know how many of you will want to join in but as a toast to the last day of the premier league and with the lovely weather we have today, I would like everyone to reblog this and talk about the highlights and memories of this season (it doesn't have to just be the Premier League but it has to be this season (obviously)).

I'll lead by example:

When Harry Maguire scored against Liverpool. Part of me wishes it had never happened so Liverpool wouldn't be in this position today but I was having a rough patch where nothing seemed to interest me and I thought I had lost interest in football and I just felt a bit down (just one of those weeks) but suddenly one goal turned my whole mood around. My favourite player scoring and against such a brilliant team! I'm still so pleased for him!

I went to see my first Prem and England game this season which was incredible but it's like opening a can of worms tbh - you see one, you want to see them all. See me on the streets begging for tickets next season after football bankrupts me.

When I discovered Ben Chilwell haha

Of course the Champions League and Europa League this season. Wild does not even cover the scenes that took place!!!

Maybe not so much a highlight but I can't not mention the tragic death of Emiliano Sala and here's to him to never being forgotten!

Shane Long's 7 second goal!

Harry Maguire getting one of the fastest red cards in the Prem. Which leads me on to...

...When Wes Morgan scored that last minute wisnner at Burnley with 10 men.

The Wolves vs Leicester match - that was insane that match!!!

My local, Gillingham knocked out Cardiff in the FA cup (only to be knocked out by Swansea in the following match)

Jose Mourinho being sacked (that feels like as life time ago)

England beating Spain 3-2

I'm sure there are many more that I should'vr to mentioned but the absolute highlight of my life was going to see England play Croatia at Wembley and winning 2-1. I will never forget that and I will treasure the way I felt when that last goal went in forever!!!! And of course when you think it couldn't get better than that - singing Three Lions afterwards!!!! 🦁🦁🦁 BRING ON THE NATIONS LEAGUE!

Anyway, these are the main ones that stick out for me but please add more!

God I love football and to paraphrase Pochettino, I don't think there is anything else that creates emotions or feelings like these than football! ⚽⚽⚽

Oh football!

So, I realise for people who aren’t into football this will clearly be quite bookish. However, I have recently been reading “The Promised Land” by Anthony Clavane. Its basically about the history of Leeds United post World War 2 and also semi-autobiographical in respect of his life as a Jewish Leeds United fan and the city as a whole. It’s brilliant. I’ve just got to the part where the Premier League starts (1992/1993) and Leeds sell Cantona to Man United for £1.3 million; a transfer described by Clavane as “the worst transfer decision in the history of football.

This got me thinking; there is loads about football history (specifically English) that I don’t know about (obviously) purely because I either wasn’t born, I was too young to be aware of the information or that its been consigned to the annals of time because it’s considered generally too boring or not relevant to recall by fans and media outlets alike. Therefore, when I was looking for something to do last night I noticed MOTD Top 10 FA Cup moments was on BBC1; in lieu of any real football due to the COVID. Oh how I miss football...

Anyway, I thought I would give this a go because I hoped it might fill in some of my gaps in knowledge and at the very least entertain me. Oh how wrong I was. I’m being over dramatic. The goals and clips were all fabulous clearly; however between the 50 year period they seemed to cover and Alan Shearer’s dull commentary (sorry Alan, you’re a Magpie Legend/Martyr but you are extremely dull) the programme just lacked any cohesion, sense of narrative or general bite or Va Va Voom (”Thiery, woah oh!”).

Yes Ian Wrights commentary on his own career is always extremely interesting because of the character that he is and the adversity that he had to overcome; but Gary Linekar? I am sorry but it is time that smug bastard got off TV and gave some one else a go. And I am sorry, but there was literally no discussion of the on going COVID preparations for the Prem’s mooted behind closed doors return. How about discussing and commenting on this rather than relying on the fact that the presenters are using Zoom, to create any semblance of relevance to anything at the moment?

That got me thinking. With, the Bundesliga (an un-competitive league at the best of times) behind closed doors looking like a series of bad training games gone wrong, and the Championship and Prem not coming back for at least another month (?); I still need to fill my football fix. Enter the above video. I have watched Premier League Season reviews before; and they are un-ashamedly great! I think I am going to try and watch every season up till the current one when I have nothing to!

I tried to start from the first season of the Premier League 1992/1993, where Man United win the league for the first time under Fergie from the afore mentioned Leeds United; who the year before won the last season of the Old Division 1 proper in 1991/1992 with the infamous French man (his last season for the club and ironically the last time Leeds conquered the English Football Pyramid). Alas, there was no review available on YouTube (?). So I had to start here at 1993/1994.

Whilst the review is in 3 parts and its not the most exhilarating season (the commentary provided throughout does its best to reduce any excitement anyway), it’s worth a watch for some of the highlights I have detailed below! And bringing me back to my earlier point, there are loads of interesting snippets and forgotten pieces of trivia that have been lost to the football fan trivia annuls of time (or at least that a late 80′s lad such as myself won’t necessarily know anyway!). So without further a do, here are some of the more interesting highlights (and low lights!) i picked out incase you are too busy getting pissed on the semi-locked down bank holiday (!):

Part 1

The review begins with a blatant double footed tackle that would have easily been deemed a red in the modern game!

Roy Keane signing for Man United.

Old shots of Old Trafford looking tiny!

Glen Hoddle (a Chelsea Legend and eventual bigoted hate monger) becoming player manager of Spurs!

Aston Villa with an Opera Singer in the dressing as they are presumably getting ready for a match?! (Who knows?!).

Advertising boards with “Street Fighter” and “Sega” on them!

John Fasanu brazenly assaulting the Spurs captain Gary Mabbutt (breaking his face) and the English FA running an “anti-elbow” campaign!

Peter Reid being sacked as Man City Player/Manager (in his first managerial role!) after 6 days (!) and Man City fans rioting in front of Maine Road and the Rozzers turning up on horse back to control said riot! Oh English football!

The emergence of 2 icons in football; Andy Cole (who goes on to have a 41 goal season; 34 in the Prem) and Ian Wright on his way to becoming an Arsenal legend.

Part 2

Tony Adams heading it into his own net! Never gets old!

A young Alan Shearer being interviewed after a Blackburn game and still managing to bore the pants off you.

The death of Sir Matt Busby during January of 1994; the man credited for putting Man United on the map.

Various Matt Le Tissier and Ryan Giggs pingers!

Souness resigning from Liverpool with the Reds 5th in the table and 23 points off first; oh how times have changed these days!

Oldham, Sheff United and Swindon in the Premier League! Spoiler alert - it doesn’t last long.

Blackburn Rovers playing in their AC Milan-esque away kit! Classic.

Paul Ince showing his class at Man United before he goes on to betray the club.

Part 3

Peter Beardsley scoring for his beloved Newcastle. I am sorry but any time any one mentions him these days I just instantly think of Bob Mortimer’s imagined impressions of him every week on Athletico Mince. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqwLFGMHiy4

Mark Hughes scoring for Man U and being recorded in the music studio singing a Man United song I have been unable to find (?!).

Cantona being sent off twice and banned for 5 games and being criticised by Alan Hansen in the MOTD studio in his very 90′s suit.

Vinnie Jones and the crazy gang beating Man U (eventual winners) and Blackburn (2nd place and next seasons winners).

Steve Bruce leading out Man United (to defeat!) in the top of table clash vs Blackburn.

An Eric Cantona homage and montage to the tune of “Isn’t she lovely” by Stevie Wonder!! Yes this actually happens!! Big WTF from me there.

The last season of standing and terraces on the Kop at Anfield.

22 teams in the Prem.

Man U lifting the trophy and saying goodbye to Bryan Robson after 13 years.

So there you have it, if you are missing football and want to fill in some of your gaps in knowledge of the English Game/obtain a load of useless facts; season reviews are my recommendations! For now anyway!
