The Rounded Keeper - FPL Pub Talk & Matchday Banter 25/26

[Dr. Giggles]

Styles come and go.

In one direction.

[blahblah]

Well the stats will make grim reading when psg win this. Arsenal 1 shot on target and 23% pos and an xg of .34......but i'm sure Martin Keown will say how great Arsenal played and how unlucky they were.

I am back, almost an hour after posting this, Arsenal have managed to get their xg up from .34 to .35

That'll just be some dodgy rounding up.

Swedes and turnips?

tomatoes, chillies and a pumpkin.

All presumably seen in football-related tabloid headlines, too

Last year Arsenal had created chances and could
Have won against psg

This performance was just dismal

120 minutes of head in the sand football

[forestfan]

Penalties, then… can the former Southport keeper be the difference? (Talking of sand…)

1 shot on goal in 120 mins and none in the last 114 mins. I guess it's all forgotten if they win on pens, but how will people react if they lose?

[Pirlo's Beard]

Safonov appears to be doing his best to keep out of the way of these penalties.

[forestfan]

Raya was practically in Austria by the time that one was taken…

[Pirlo's Beard]

Bottlers gonna bottle.

[forestfan]

Rule number 1 of penalty shoot-outs: never let your centre-back take one. (See Baresi, F; Stam, J; Terry, J, etc.)

[blahblah]

He should have headed it

[Maldini]

Couldn’t have ended any better.

The king of their shithousery puts his penalty into row Z.

[forestfan]

No English Triple Crown then. Guess it’s going to have to be Villa, Bournemouth and Brighton next year.

[itslikebrandnew]

The point after looked good to me.

Unless your centre-back is Sergio Ramos. Or Ronald Koeman. Or Fernando Hierro.

[thebillfella]

Thank eff for that. Don't have to avoid unbearably delusional Gunners fans all summer.

Just bearably delusional ones?

[itslikebrandnew]

That was shocking for the showpiece of the season. Such a shame the PSG v Bayern match wasn't the final.

Just getting us warmed up for typical World Cup knockout matches…

[itslikebrandnew]

Well i'll be cheering on any team that tries to win rather than tries not to lose

[Pirlo's Beard]

Unlucky for Gabriel though. The Champions League was just out of reach.

[Maldini]

Very good.

Give him a little more time… dreams can come true

[Pirlo's Beard]

Every time I see Luis Enrique, I feel like I'm watching a greyer, Spanish Kevin Smith.

[forestfan]

Crappy Gilmour ruled out for Scotland after getting injured against the blue cocktail ingredient.

[blahblah]

Did anyone expect Arse to play any differently? If there was one thing the match didn't it was an early Arse goal...

I did think about how many of us waxed lyrical about Rossi's Italy beating the uber stars of Socrates' Brazil abd how different the two were.

[thebillfella]

Did anyone expect Arse to play any differently?

No, not really!

[RuudTheDudeVanTheMan]

And yet he learnt his trade under one of the two you mention, and it wasn’t the baseball-capped one.

He's like Anakin Skywalker to Pep's Obi-Wan Kenobi. He's gone to the dark side.

Maybe this loss will bring him back to the light and he can join the Farke side

I suppose he played in Moyes’s Everton side, who were somewhat like a poor man’s version of his Arsenal… maybe he was his Palpatine.

Something something something corners, something something something complete

[blahblah]

Did anyone expect Arse to play any differently?

No, not really!

And thankfully Brentford A lost.
