    3-5 years is the perfect amount of time to reflect back on these. enough time to let things settle a bit.

    More weird new TSB posting



    Good call

    Another good call


    These made me laugh


    Not so much


    Understandable that Livid fans felt the way they did but amused me to see them saying Coutinho was needed for UCL then they made the next 2 finals, winning one.


    Aged well for Jorts. Copied weird. Jorts posts was Mourinho shaking his head no

    If a five year old post of me commentating on the strange hype Reece Oxford had after just a few appearances in the EPL is the worst take Shaun can find from me, I consider that a win.

    That was a pat on the back. You were asking why he was so hyped and it turned out you were right.

    Like I said, they aren’t all meant to be bad takes or anything.

    I recall the bumps a couple years ago were flattering to you as well. Think that was on Dembélé to Dortmund. It’s been good for you.

    He’s gotten a bit better. Transfermarkt says he’s worth $11 million. A semi regular for Augsburg is probably good enough to be a squad player on Everton.

    My worse takes are when I have my blue blinders on. I wanted Dolberg at Everton pretty bad a few years ago.

    I had to double check to make sure Reece Oxford hadn’t set the Bundesliga on fire this season and I somehow missed it. I already had my “Alphonso Davies was once a lowly Whitecap with 6000 Twitter followers and I never insinuated he wasn’t good” locked & loaded.

    Finished up

    Dele did not quite continue that trajectory

    This was fucking gold. I cackled.

    Enjoyed all of this on Serge

    Raven had the most confidence in LFC

    Better look for Chile

    This all summed it up pretty well

    Raven again the only one with faith in LFC

    Forgot this line from Ballers. Cracked me up. Tobias and I used to say this to each other all the time.

    More shitting on Ox

    Man that move did not work like people expected

    Makes me sad

    Worked out

    I remember making a call a few years ago that Isco wasn’t very good and Madrid needed to sell him while they were having financial issues and while he still could go for big money. I recall getting blasted for that on all sides.

    He's always been great, but injuries killed him.

    Similar to my take on Pulisic... I've said he sucks, or something to that effect. But in reality he's been dynamic & explosive, when healthy. I mostly just think the EPL is the wrong league for him. Will be fun to see what he can do in the WC (except agains England, of course)

    Chelsea is a bit of an enigma when it comes to making attacking players seem prolific. Mason Mount is the only player in the last two seasons to reach double digits in either goals or assists in the league (11G 10A this season). There are players more talented than Pulisic that have fared worse at Chelsea. I would like seeing him at a place like Leicester City before writing off his EPL career.

    Well we also had Retardinho so if it makes it better or worse, you were level with Jack Wilshere

    Pulisic has had some great moments with Chelsea. In the twitter world it seems like the ones who dont like him are the Mount fanboys. Would hate to see him leave because he will make a run against a low block which very few do in the current squad.

    Do the Mount fanboys have a particular favorite for Mason to play with? Everyone else seems to be incredibly inconsistent.

    Wilshere was a dickhead but seems he’s been humbled, Retardinho was fucked up and never funny

    Probably better than Lacazette was for us but was such an easy scapegoat
