Against our defence?

@Possum Jenkins
Assuming Real-Arsenal happens in next round, bet big on Mbappe brace or hattrick in both games.
Brace odds: +310
Hattrick: +1150
(odds above taken from Real-Girona game this weekend so rough estimate)

Brace or hat trick in BOTH games?

Pretty bold, mate. Mbappe playing lights out not doubt, but he's also not a pure scorer. If Haaland, Lewa, or Kane was on a run like this, maybe yeah.

In both games. Arsenal front tree was Sterling, Trossard and Nwaneri, not worried about them one bit. So Real will have plenty of chances to score, Mbappe on fire and playing well with Vini, Rodrygo and Jude (who play well in big games usually).

 

[Rawex]

Against our defence?

Defense is fine but your front tree is how should i put it, average right now so if Real goes for counter attack tactic going to have their hands full with Valverde and Asensio with long passes to Mbappe, Vini, Rodrygo and Jude doing runs at your defense. Or if its open end to end game with alot of open space, even better since as i said not worried about your attackers where as Real's front 4 will be lethal (and you know this to be true)

l (and you know this to be true)

Nope. You won’t be able to handle our front 3 of merino/Trossard and nwaneri

So thats Partey and Odegaard getting manhandled by Jude, Tchouameni and Ceballos? I feel sorry for Rice, dude has to run 20km's in a game. Better contact Norwegian national skiteam and get best astma inhalers money can buy

Might be the place they were visiting, might be away from the city centre/ not my favourite city but I last visited last weekend and I wasn’t as disappointed as I’ve been everytime before lol. .

Manchester has the one of the biggest gay villages in the UK. Maybe the biggest outside London? Maybe after Brighton? Young, fit men keep turning up dead in the canals around there though.

Spoiler

It also has the biggest Chinatown in the country outside London.

Rome was supposedly founded by Romulus and Remus, who were suckled by a wolf. In fact they were twins, born to a princess and a god, were ordered to be killed, but were sent down the river in a basket instead. Actually Romulus killed Remus when they couldn't agree which of the Seven Hills to build the city on.

Fewer people know about the two mythical brothers who led the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain - Hengist and Horsa. Although they were men they have one of those pairs of animal names like Geri and Freki (The Greedy One and The Ravenous One) or Hugin and Munin (Memory and Thought) - Odin's wolves and ravens.

Hest is still Norwegian for horse and Horsa is easily recognisable. Hengest was 'stallion' in Old English.

Probably no one remembers or cares, but I did discuss on here a while ago how our ancestors lost the names (in their languages) for 'bear', because they were scared of bears, so made it taboo to name them. In Russian 'bear' is basically 'The Honey-Knower', and in Germanic languages it comes from the same root as the word 'brown' (The Brown One).

They also think the word 'wolf' (/ulv etc.) comes from a PIE adjective meaning 'dangerous', although the name changed too far back to confirm this. We used to have terrible trouble with wolves in the British Isles before they were sadly made extinct. A lot of them were killed in wolf pits, which is a basic trap where you use/enlarge/dig a hole big enough that a wolf can't jump out of it, cover it with a flimsy but solid-looking network of branches, leaves etc. and put some bait on top, and the wolf falls in and is trapped. I suppose the bait would be on a pole to support its weight.

When the population got bigger and the country less wild, apparently large numbers of armed men would just assemble and chase the wolves into large pits. I used to live near an old wolf pit. Also the town of Woolpit, where the green children appeared in the Middle Ages, is named after one.

Interestingly, apparently there also was a taboo on naming horses, because they were considered sacred, so the original PIE word ekwos was partially lost, and the words for 'horse' in English and the Scandinavian languages basically mean 'The Runner' or 'The Fast One'. Note also the words 'hurry' and 'haste'. Will have to read more about this when I get time.

'Pferd/Paard' in German/Dutch comes from Latin, also, as I suspected, the archaic English word 'palfrey'. But as @BroRogan has confirmed the old, Germanic word 'Roẞ' is still going in places.

Edit: Come to think of it 'horse' is 'hevonen' in Finnish, which sounds suspiciously like 'hippo' - horse in Ancient Greek. I wonder how that got there.

But they have also just scored 39 goals.

Leeds have 68-20 GD

How ready are you for Sheffield United away on Monday?

We're in good form, but a draw would suffice for real. If they win they go top, and if Burnley wins tonight, they will be right behind us.

One loss can ruin everything at this point, and as some of you may know I am not excactly the optimistic fella around here.

On the other hand we might win?
