put an old spin on things
A large vase is the most unmissable delicacy. After a week of Super Sundays, Real Monday Night Football (Keys & Gray version, Natch) and two nights of Big Cup VAR controversy, The Fiver descended the Salt Tears Arms on Thursday night to enable new smartphone alerts. did. get nervous. Arsenal lost to PSV. Somewhat interesting. Manchester United beat FC Sheriff 3-0. Hmm. How would the self-proclaimed world’s most advanced content distribution machine take up social media’s disgraceful agenda? And, as they say, go viral. The answer isn’t Cristiano Ronaldo scoring, but getting on the showboat in a way that Darcy Bussell would have been proud of before Antony hung up his slippers.
The clock ticked 37 minutes and the Big Reds were still level with the Moldovan crack outfit when Casemiro played the ball to the right of his compatriot. With Sheriff defender Patrick Kuposzo watching in Indiana Jones and market swordsman style, Antony slammed his 360 like lightweight puma Tony Hawk on his 3, caressing the ball with his right foot. times. He then hooked a pass to Casemiro but missed. Not because Antony resurrected Garrincha’s bow-like magic, Denilson’s candy lollipop, or Carlon’s seal dribble ghost. No, it was left to the stern-faced football men to provide real entertainment. “Ridiculous,” exclaimed Robbie Savage. “Shame. He leaves the ball out of play.”
Savage seemed to ignore that the 57-year-old Casemiro might have made a decent attempt on a through pass had he been running a little faster. However, summary judgment was handed down. Now was the time for the old pros to preach. “I don’t think it’s skill or entertainment. It’s just clowning,” Paul Scholes, the football critic’s answer to Percy Sugden, said perhaps Lord Ferg’s face was Peter Schmeichel’s Tig at the time. I remember Nani talking to me when I was blushing more than anything.
Eric ten Hag was not very happy, although he settled well into the role of the Puritan disciplinarian, showing that Ronaldo was the boss. “As long as it works, I’m fine with it,” he shrugged. “But if it’s trick by trick, I’ll correct him.” Pretty adept at taking the steam off the type Farago that he did against all the later bosses. “We’re known for our art. I’m not going to stop getting where I am,” he shivered on Instachat.
quote of the day
“For many in underrepresented or minority communities, most of the last 50 years have been a depressing cycle of promise, rising hopes and disappointments. To avoid being the latest entry in the catalog of missed opportunities of the year, we need to make the right choice: We missed 6 of our 8 diversity goals.

I don’t blame anyone for doing so, but I encourage you, dear readers, to skip it too.” I love football and I think it can be a huge force for good to bring people together.It hurts my heart to see it corrupted by class and corrupted by capitalism.

“Re: Yesterday’s Fiber. All this ‘VAR is ruining the game’ nonsense that the correct outcome determined within the laws of the game led to conclusions unpopular with partisan fans.” Just for a reason, punters and pundits use VAR for movie previews. Like when they kill the dog at the end and the audience votes to keep the dog alive. Maybe you should “ask the audience” or “choose an ending” in real time. Or you could put in a CGI download of him after the game for season ticket holders.
