football predictions 2024

man city or liverpool will win the league. in order of preference liverpool > man city > arsenal. i will not even consider any possibility of villa or tottenham. i am not letting up on the anti arsenal agenda because i'm correct about everything and they do not have IT

tottenham are going to lose the fa cup final. arsenal will win nothing and both sets of annoying fans will claim they had the better season despite both being completely stagnant

i found out recently that after the soviet union lost in an embarrassing fashion to yugoslavia at the olympics, stalin abolished cska moscow bc they made up the bulk of the national side. since i found this out i have had fantasies of this happening to birmingham city. pull the trigger current culture secretary

leeds will bottle promotion. ipswich will make the play offs at least. if ipswich get promoted then being sponsored by ed sheeran is the new luton's away end

lee johnson will get sacked for a third time this season

jose mourinho dutch prison era after feyenoord vs roma

real madrid champions league

villa will win the conference league and i'll have to kill myself

ENGLAND will WIN the EUROS (england will not win the euros)

jude bellingham will get suspended for too many yellow cards at the euros

my serious prediction for the euros is that germany will get knocked out at the group and one of hungary or ukraine (if they qualify which they should) will make the semi finals

speaking of ukraine mudryk will not beat the ukraine bolt allegations. obviously i respect ahmetov for scamming chelsea but also he should be in jail

i continue to be correct about the fact that the saudi league is trying to replace turkey as a home for slightly washed players and 20 and 36 year old brazilians rather than being any real competition for the top 5 uefa leagues

most importantly i am gonna win our fantasy league with no foresight

WCW Monday Nitro 23/09/1996

We kick off with Tony telling the audience that “we’re off and running” with another action-packed episode of America’s number one wrestling program, WCW Monday Nitro!

I’m ready.

No indication of where we are tonight - small town alert. Let’s see. Google tells me that tonight we are in the Benjamin-Jefferson Civic Center in Birmingham, Alabama. WCW does not seem to like advertising when they are broadcasting from Civic Centers, for some reason.

So this week we’re back to Tony and Larry dressing like idiots. Tony looks like a butler/waiter at some higher-end establishment, whilst Larry is wearing something terrible underneath his jacket. Thankfully whatever that abomination is remains mostly hidden, but still, I can tell just by the small amount I can see that it’s a turgid mess. 

The Butler reminds us that most of WCW’s top stars are in Japan, making it the perfect opportunity for the nWo to strike. Considering how much WCW have played on that you’d think they may be luring the nWo into a trap of some kind... but it’s WCW, so probably not. 

Tony holds up some newspaper with an nWo advert inside.

Tony tells us this was in USA Today, apparently. WCW are so offended by the advert that they show it at the very opening of the show. Makes sense. 

Meanwhile Critic’s Corner/Matt Roush also gets some free publicity. Is that Matt in the photo? Nice beard bro. Not sure about the hat.

Larry goes into some rant about the nWo being parasites, helpfully explaining what a parasite is, but half way through his speech seems to get lost, as his words begin to jumble together and make no sense. He ends by decreeing that Hogan and the Outsiders are “nothing but parasites”.

Tony takes a deep breath as this is happening, before Tony tells us that one man is here - Macho - along with “many other top stars of WCW”. Let’s see. Humorous, Glacier, Super Calo and the Dungeon of Doom don’t count. Ice Train however does count. The Train is awesome. Actually after last week I’ll count Calo too, as that guy is just flat-out insane and as a result earned my respect.

We get footage from Fall Brawl showing the match between Savage and the Giant, including Savage giving Giant an impressive scoop slam.  

More footage of the nWo handing out leaflets. Is this really necessary? Also, I have to reiterate, what a fucking waste of paper. No wonder we barely have any rainforests left - the nWo used them all to make millions of these fucking flyers.

This chilly bro is cutting some kind of promo which I think is anti-nWo, but we can’t really hear what he’s saying.

 We’re ready for our first match of the evening, and it’s involving the Dungeon of Doom. Tony, I told you these idiots do not count as “top stars”.

Good old Taskmaster Konan. 

Konnan strides beside Sullivan speaking Spanglish whilst Sullivan pretends to understand a word of what it being said. It’s like if your grandad was accosted by a random Mexican gangbanger and tried to ‘act cool’ in order not to get capped.

The Dungeon’s opponents are already in the ring.

Well, that’s an... unusual pairing. I’m curious as to how these two were put together. Actually that’s a lie, I don’t really care.

“Taskmaster” Kevin Sullivan & Konnan (w/ Jimmy Hart) Vs. Brad Armstrong & Juventud Guerrera

Mike Tenay joins the commentary team for this match. 

The match starts with Konnan tossing Juvi onto his head via a german suplex, truly suplex city before Brock made that a thing. I’ve just noticed that for some reason Big Bubba is at ringside as well. I hope Glacier runs down and karate kicks him in the face again.

Juvi regains control with a swift headscissors on Konnan. Juvi then flies out to dive onto K-Dogg.

Sullivan could have done something to stop this, but he just stands there and watches. 

Weirdly Tony clarifies the Mexican Heavyweight title isn’t on the line. It’s a tag match, why would anyone have assumed it was?

Juvi gets dumped on his head with a nasty looking cradle DDT, as Mark Curtis does the crab people dance. Konnan goes to tag Sullivan, but Sullivan for some reason refuses, so Konnan goes back on the offence. Once again Konnan goes for a tag, and once again the Taskmaster says no thanks. He evidently doesn’t want to do any work tonight. Maybe he’s upset he didn’t get invited to Japan. 

Juvi tags in American hero Brad Armstrong who immediately kicks Konnan in the gut.

Armstrong gains a little offence but Konnan dropkicks his knee which puts him down. Now Sullivan wants the tag. He tags in and does his stupid little finisher.

The ref counts the pin and for some reason Juvi doesn’t even bother to try and come in to break it up. Maybe he just thought there’s no way my partner is going to be pinned off such a shitty looking move, considering he’s only been in the ring for about a minute. Gamble did not pay off. 

“Taskmaster” Kevin Sullivan and Konnan defeat Brad Armstrong and Juventud Guerrera via pinfall.

Post-match Konnan is annoyed by Sullivan’s reluctance to tag in earlier and shoves him. This leads to Big Bubba attacking Konnan from behind, at which point he and the Taskmaster put the boots to him.

I can only assume Sullivan was very offended by whatever Konnan was saying in Spanish during their entrance. There’s been literally no buildup to this betrayal at all otherwise. Konnan is easily the best member of the Dungeon of Doom from the perspective of being a decent wrestler (Meng aside obviously) so it seems odd to kick him out.

But hold on. Jimmy Hart tells the camera it’s an initiation, as Sullivan pulls Konnan to his feet.

Hold on. Aren’t initiations supposed to happen before you join a group, not weeks/months afterwards? The Dungeon just does everything backwards. What a bunch of idiots. Konnan yells that he’s Dungeon of Doom and everybody is happy. Tenay says this is how Konnan grew up and it’s a gang initiation. OK, firstly, Dungeon of Doom - shittiest gang ever. With that said I would have loved to have seen them in something like The Shield (if you haven’t seen it, watch it). Vic Mackey smacking Jimmy Hart around and cracking him across the skull with his megaphone would have been magnificent. Secondly, again, initiations happen before somebody joins, not some time afterward. Well anyway, Sullivan said in a later interview that Konnan was “forced” into the Dungeon and “didn’t fit in”. No shit, he actually had charisma and talent.

Tony tells us that Chris Jericho and Mike Enos are coming up. Wow, more “top stars”. Keep in mind this isn’t even Jericho of late 1997 or 1998, but rather bland pointless babyface Jericho of 1996.

We pan the crowd and then see footage of the nWo in their limo from last week. Again, what’s the point? This is boring and just filling time. 

Mike is backstage with Macho, and informs him that he’s been publicky targeted by the nWo.

Savage asks “Am I a marked man?” then talks in such a low voice I genuinely can’t hear what he’s saying. Savage yells that even if Hogan cheap shots him “every night and every day” before Halloween Havoc it isn’t going to change anything. Savage calls himself the last hope of WCW. Desperate times. Macho notes that the majority of WCW are booked in Japan, and claims he was too, but he took himself out to stay in the US. Really? Not sure I buy that. I think Macho is just trying to make himself feel better. Kind of like a kid who didn’t get invited to a party, then tells his friend “no, I totally was invited, I just wanted to stay at home and play on my Nintendo”. Sure. Makes sense to stay in the States as the sole target for the nWo. Macho starts talking about multiple lifetimes again, showcasing his Buddhist philosophies once again, and then says “the only thing we have in common is that about 100,000 lifetimes from now we might be the same goldfish swimming in the same water.”

Tenay is just like.... what? Savage straight up admits he’s making no sense, and concludes by saying he’s taking responsibility to wipe Hogan out. 

We’re back to the arena after that craziness, and out comes Mike “Ready” Enos.

Haven’t seen “Rough” recently - wonder if he’s still around? Enos is still wearing the “rough and Ready” vest, regardless.

Larry says that Savage is “confused”. That’s an understatement. 

Jericho comes out, to what Tony calls “rousing applause”, which is more apt to describing the end of a theatre show or something. 

Mike Enos Vs. Chris Jericho

Enos wants to shake Jericho’s hand. Don’t do it, don’t do it...

Idiot.

Match goes back and forth, but ends in a weird way. Enos attempts a powerslam...

But Jericho kind of reverses it into a weak looking takedown...

But apparently that’s enough for the win. 1, 2, 3, Jericho wins. Not sure I’ve ever seen a powerslam reversal before, but based on how shitty this looked that’s probably for the best.

Chris Jericho defeats Mike Enos via pinfall.

Goldberg’s music hits.

But he’s still utilising his previous gimmick as a kung fu master named Pat Tanaka. Shaving his head made a world of difference.

The lights go out, a blue hue descends upon the arena, so that can only mean...

Sub Shredder.

Tony talks about Glacier’s bullshit backstory as if it actually happened. Both Tony and Larry claim it is “literally” snowing in here, which is a blatant lie. Glacier may be a ninja or whatever, but he can’t control the fucking weather. Larry also claims he’s a black belt. Maybe that’s true, but I don’t trust him.

Pat Tanaka Vs. Glacier

These two weirdos circle each other for a while, as the arena lighting remains a pale shade of blue.

An epic showdown. Tanaka attempts a karate chop, but Glacier takes him down with a palm strike. Tanaka then attempts a kick, but he evidently hasn’t played Mortal Kombat, as Glacier counters with Sub Zero’s classic leg sweep.

Tanaka decides to say fuck this martial arts bullshit, and instead just hits Glacier with a sitdown powerbomb. It has little effect, as Glacier gets to his feet and executes a spinning side kick.

Tanaka is down for the count, and this one is over. I am disappointed we didn’t see the Cryonic Kick here. I guess Glacier didn’t hit the correct button combination for his fatality. Oh well.

Glacier defeats Pat Tanaka via pinfall.

Glacier poses in the ring. Larry suggests the nWo are going to recruit Glacier. Just fucking lol at that. I’m sure Hogan and crew have been very impressed with Glacier beating The Gambler, Big Bubba and Pat Tanaka. Sign that man up before he slips away. 

Back from the break and we get a shot of this dude.

Matt Ghaffari. Apparently a silver medalist at the 1996 Olympics. Didn’t win the gold medal with a broken freakin’ neck though, did he? Also, and I’m not trying to be a dick here, but it looks like somebody photoshopped his face to move the eyes and nose slightly higher than they should be. Just saying. Larry calls Ghaffari a “loser” who “couldn’t even win gold”. I’d like to see you try, Larry. Tony actually does call Larry out on this, asking him how many olympic medals he has. Larry claims he wasn’t allowed into the olympics because he was “too mean”. Yeah, OK. Tony laughs at this.

Ugh. Noooooo.

Larry says that Public Enemy - who are carrying a table to ringside, as usual - have “found a loophole” where if you bring a “foreign object” to ringside, but leave it outside the ring, you can use it outside the ring with no consequence. What shit is he chatting? If you bring a knife to ringside and then stab somebody with it you’re going to get disqualified whether you’re in the ring or not. Well, actually, you’re going to get a lot more than disqualified... but anyway, Larry is talking nonsense as usual.

Alright, the Heat. Now this is a bit better, but I really wish they weren’t accompanied by that dicksplash Col. Parker. Booker comes out yelling that the Heat “are going to hurt somebody”. if only it was that buttwipe behind you wearing the stupid hat.

Harlem Heat (w/Sister Sherri, Col. Parker) Vs. Public Enemy

 As soon as the bell rings, Stevie Ray chucks Grunge out of the ring. He and Booker then double team Rocco, sending him into the corner and then levelling him with a double boot to the chops.

Their advantage doesn’t last for long, though as Grunge dives off the top rope and hits the Heat with a double clothesline.

Crazy start to the match. Is this a tornado tag? Everyone is in the ring and once and Patrick is just letting it go. Then again, this is WCW, where rules are known to be somewhat fluid. 

Grunge is very pumped up after hitting the double clothesline. He jumps up and starts swivelling his hips like he’s got an invisible hula hoop. The crowd have zero reaction to this. Stevie Ray and Grunge do now get onto the apron, making this a proper tag team match.

After some back and forth, Booker attempts a side kick but somehow ends up straddling the ropes, after which Grunge proceeds to shake them, further increasing the pressure on Booker’s testicles.

Patrick gives Grunge a disapproving finger wag. Grunge ignores him.

The match really isn’t much to write home about. However, all of a sudden...

We move to split screen, so that we can see the nWo arriving. For some reason the Giant is also dressed like a waiter tonight. Did somebody rib Tony and Giant into thinking it was food server fancy dress tonight or something?

Larry suggests they lock the doors to keep them out. Sure, or just, you know, hire actual security to make sure the nWo don’t come in. I appreciate WCW isn’t exactly great when it comes to forward planning, but still. Tony says that if the doors were locked the nWo would just break in, and then says we’ve already seen them smash car windows. Have we? The only person I remember doing that was Sting, when he chucked a giant fucking boulder through the nWo’s limo window. Still can’t get over that. 

Larry says of the nWo “they’re organised, we’ve got Randy Savage who is confused”. Harsh, but ultimately a fair statement. Tony calls the nWo “vandals”, which... yeah, sure, but so what? 

Meanwhile back at the match, Booker attempts a Harlem Hangover but misses.

Next, Booker rolls Rocco into a small package.

Rocco then adjusts so that Booker’s shoulders are on the mat.

Let’s be clear - you can see from this image that it is literally impossible for Rocco’s shoulders to be on the mat. He is laying on his side. Booker meanwhile is on his back. Patrick counts the three, and for some reason both men run to the corners celebrating victory.

Also Harlem Heat’s music starts playing. Dafuq. You all saw that still image I posted - there’s no ambiguity there about who was pinning who. 

Patrick, completely correctly, calls a Public Enemy win. The music changes from Harlem heat to Public Enemy. Why was Heat’s music playing in the first place? Anyway, Harlem Heat along with Sherri and Parker are furious, ganging up on Patrick.

Even though he has absolutely made the right call here. 

Public Enemy are, incredibly, new tag team champs. God only knows why this decision was made. I do like the ECW sign being held up as Rocco holds the belts up. Well captured, albeit probably totally unintentional. 

Grunge celebrates in front of this old woman, who looks at him like he’s a fucking dirtbag. 

Bruh, what is this shirt. If you paid anything more than $0 for this you were ripped off.

Public Enemy def. Harlem Heat via Pinfall to win the Tag Team Titles. 

 We come back from a commercial break to... this.

When you buy Arn Anderson off wish.com.

Fireworks go off as we begin hour number two.

We also switch to Bischoff, Tenay and Heenan on commentary.

I really liked WCW’s entranceway. Very cool design. 

That’s not so cool. At least Valentino isn’t with him this week. I like how Valentine’s entrance music is just a bunch of heavy guitar riffs. Doesn’t suit him at all. With that said, I’m not sure what would suit him. At this point in time probably just not wrestling.

The crowd pops big for everyone’s favourite lunatic, the Macho man. Gee, I wonder who’s going to win this one?

Greg “the hammer” Valentine Vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage

Macho starts off strong with some punches in the corner, but the hammer manages to take Macho down with a back elbow. His butt is jiggling all over the place and it’s gross. No picture, I refuse.

The announcers talk about how everybody is in Japan, so Macho is on his own. Except, that isn’t true, is it? There are still plenty of WCW personnel around. Just because the big names aren’t here doesn’t mean Harlem Heat, Public Enemy, the Dungeon, Jericho, Pat Tanaka, Glacier... okay, actually never mind.

Valentine drops an elbow straight onto Macho’s dick and balls. Brutal. The crowd are like “ohhhh” and Mark Curtis is like...

Uh...

Anyway, Valentine decides now he’s going to put his face down there too.

This is just getting disturbing now.

So, Bischoff informs us that Super Calo dislocated his elbow earlier and is going to the hospital. Wait, what? Super Calo? What bullshit is this. Well I just checked and apparently Calo and Rey Mysterio had a dark match before the show went on the air for the cruiserweight title.

Alright, to quote Lex Luger, I’m pissed now. You showed fucking Glacier Vs. Pat Tanaka, Jericho Vs Mike Enos, The Dungeon Vs. Juvi and Brad Armstrong, but you left REY MYSTERIO AND SUPER FUCKING CALO OFF THE SHOW? YOU FUCKERS. I’m incensed. Especially as Calo apparently did something so crazy that he actually injured himself. Recalling his match against Konnan, I’m not surprised, but I can only imagine what he did to hurt himself. Dude bounced around like he was made of rubber or something. Regardless, I’ll never know, because WCW hate their fans. FUCK.

Anyway, Macho is on the guardrail, with Valentine chopping his chest...

And the fans behind him are just laughing. That’s not nice. Also, I must stress again, that dude’s shirt... what, the, fuck. Did he wake up and think “I want to look like ice cream sprinkles today?”

Bischoff says “ambulances have circled the building” in anticipation of the nWo seriously hurting someone. Could have, I don’t know, called the police instead? And I don’t mean the band. It seems a bit defeatist to have multiple ambulances on standby. Also...

For some reason Tony and Larry’s stupid little area is still set up. Wouldn’t it make sense to take that stuff away? 

More fashion nightmares here - and I have to reiterate, I am no fashion guru, but I despair that people think it’s okay to exit their houses wearing stuff like this. Have some respect for yourself, broskis. The guy on the left looks like the loading screen for a Commodore 64. 

To be honest, Savage has spent pretty much the entire match being schooled (very slowly) by Valentine. He basically has had enough, so he just picks up a chair and cracks Valentine over the head with it.

Lol. 

Referee doesn’t call for the bell. OK? Savage gets up onto the top rope and slams the chair over Valentine’s head again.

NOW the ref calls for the bell. Hold on, does that mean Larry was right earlier? That if you use a weapon outside of the ring it’s fine, but do it inside the ring and it’s game over? The fuck, man. Why not just throw your opponent outside, smack him with a chair for a few seconds and then roll him back inside then? What bullshit. Especially when, technically, in WCW it’s a DQ if you throw your opponent over the top rope. Now, I know they rarely actually adhere to that rule, but still...

Throw somebody over the top rope = DQ

Smash somebody in the head with a chair outside of the ring = No problem

Yeah, sure. Whatever. I don’t even care anymore. 

Savage grabs Mark Curtis and tosses him over the top rope. The nWo come out and begin attacking the Macho Man.

Just to be clear, though... the guy who just got himself disqualified by waffling his opponent over the head with a steel chair and who then assaulted the ref is the good guy here. Sure.

Valentine just gets out of the ring and leaves. Lmao. I mean, you can’t really blame him. Savage just smacked him across the head with a chair twice. No reason for Greg to help him out. 

Macho gets hit with the Outsider’s Edge.

Such a cool move. 

Liz appears, for some reason looking concerned. She then runs off into the backstage area. Pointless.

Why would she care, anyway? She’s spent the last however many months being Ric Flair’s FWB and laughing about spending the money Macho was forced to give her from the divorce. Now she’s worried about him?

You may think, well, it’ll be explained eventually. All will become clear. 

No. It’s never explained. She just likes Savage again now.

Lmao. Seriously, what is the Giant wearing? Is he their car valet or something?

Savage takes a jackknife powerbomb. The crowd is now pelting the ring with garbage. 

Giant grabs the mic to introduce “the man and the myth, the man to be with, the all-time greatest professional wrestler in the world. A man who made professional wrestling what it is today. A man who knows no limits. The financial backbone of the nWo. The largest arms in the world. The one, the only, Hollywoooooooooooood Hogaaaaaaaannnnn.”

OK. I thought DiBiase was the financial backbone of the nWo? 

Here comes the Hollywood Hulkster. 

The Giant struts and woos like Ric Flair, whilst Hogan hits a leg drop on Savage.

Tenay says WCW medical staff have sent a gurney to ringside for Macho. Lmao. Wow, nice. Good job. Why not send security instead?

Hogan delivers a second leg drop, then Nash starts whipping Savage with a Slim Jim. Not gonna lie, that made me chuckle.

Yo, that’s a sick shirt. What’s up with all the nWo/Terminator crossover shirts though? I mean, they’re cool, I just don’t get it.

Hogan says something about being blinded by the lights shining off “the Nacho Man’s bald head”. Glass houses, Hulk. Bischoff actually says “what does he see when he looks in the mirror?” - hah. 

Hogan then spraypaints over Macho’s bald spot. It’s kind of funny that WCW are trying to sell this as a serious thing, but whipping Macho with a slim jim and spraypainting his bald spot is just hilarious af. Sorry Macho. 

Hall and Nash leave the ring and head towards the announce booth. Smartly, Heenan legs it, as Bischoff stands up and repeats “wait a minute, wait a minute”. 

Nash shoves Bischoff back into his seat and threatens to punch him.

Nash continues to violently threaten Bischoff, as Hall puts Easy E’s headset back on and tells him to do his job, and do it well. Good advice. Hall also puts a headset on. 

The whole crew are here. Except for the Giant. I guess his shift break was over. 

You can’t help but laugh at this. WCW had a week to prepare for this, the nWo made it clear what they were going to do, and still... this is the end result. No security, no police, no wrestlers acting as muscle. Nothing. They have ambulances circling the building though, so... yeah. If you need to get to the hospital you’re good. Seriously though, they had the bright idea of using jobbers for security literally only weeks ago, then totally abandoned the idea. Why? I get that it must have been crazy boring and the wrestlers aren’t actually paid to be security – but in kayfabe, why did they stop doing this?

The Giant joins the fun as Bischoff presses his head against the desk. Nash pulls him back up and wraps his arm around Bischoff’s shoulders. Hall then announces the newest member of the nWo - Vincent.

Otherwise known as Virgil. And yes, they called him Vincent to poke fun at Vincent Kennedy McMahon. However, I will give this a pass as Vince called him “Virgil” to make fun of Dusty Rhodes. Turnaround is fair play and all of that. The crowd chants “Virgil”, as Virgil/Vincent grabs Bischoff by the hair and yanks his head around. Looks painful.

Bischoff says “we gotta take a break”. The Giant says “why you wanna get broke?” and laughs. Doesn’t even make sense. Don’t quit your day job, bro.

Time for an nWo announcement. It’s just a brief advert for the t-shirt with Hall, Nash and the Giant. 

Hall welcomes us back to “the first ever nWo Monday Nitro”. The actual first nWo nitro will come later, and it won’t be good.

For some reason Hall and Nash are just chatting shit about taking over the NBA, the NFL and Nascar. Good luck. Those companies actually hire security and know who the police are.

Now an nWo car has come out.

I have no idea what is going on.

Bischoff announces we’ve got Jim Powers vs VK Wallstreet coming up. Does he want people to switch channels? Nash calls Powers “a fine young athlete” and Hall says of Wallstreet “what a businessman”. Yeah, all successful businessmen I know have dollar signs emblazoned on their jackets. That’s a sign of class.

Turns out Giant is dressed up like a waiter because he’s going to be the ring announcer going forward. OK. 

“The following contest is against Jim Powers and M. Wallstreet” - literally fucks up the first sentence. Bad start. Also, M Wallstreet? What happened to VK? Oh, btw, the VK was also meant to be a dig at Vince (VK = Vincent Kennedy) but now they’ve dropped it for M... which might as well stand for Mickey Mouse. Maybe they felt they could only have one character as a rib on Vinnie Mac.

Out comes the king of the jobbers, and Teddy Long, who Nash refers to as “peanut head”. Nash also comments that Long is “putting on the poundage”. I mean, he’s not wrong. Nash and Hall also basically make jokes about Jim Powers being on steroids. Not exactly been helping him so far if he is.

M. Wallstreet arrives, looking like a million yen. That’s about £6000, and I’m being generous. 

Jim “Jobber” Powers (w/Peanut Head) Vs. M. Wallstreet

Seriously though, what did any of us do to deserve this match?

  Hall and Nash say “they’re going to get a closer look at this one”, which doesn’t bode well.

Wallstreet meanwhile is looking rough. I guess his stocks are down or something. Bro needs a really, really long nap.

Most of the nWo guys leave the announce desk, but DiBiase and Vincent remain with Bischoff. DiBiase calls Vincent “the CEO of security”. Has such a position ever existed anywhere?

Meanwhile, Hall and Nash have wandered down to the ring and started beating the shit out of Powers on the outside.

This is a new low for Lord Jobberlot. This week he gets beaten down before the match even begins. Sad. Who is that dude on the far left? He’s just standing there chilling whilst the Outsiders murk Jimbo. Seriously, could he look any more casual if he tried? It’s like he’s waiting in line for a soda or something.

There’s also a hot girl standing at ringside who for some reason seems very happy about this situation.

On the far right. Hard to tell from the picture but she isn’t part of the crowd, she’s standing in front of the guardrail beaming like it’s her wedding day or something. Can’t help but wonder if Jimbo did the dirty on this poor girl. It’s either that or she has a fetish for watching men and/or Jim Powers getting beaten up. Maybe she’s in charge of booking him. 

It’s all too much for Randy Anderson.

“This ain’t dubya-cee-dubya, I’m having no part of this” he states as he removes his bowtie and exits the ring. The statement heard around the world.

Giant gets in the ring and announces some shit which amounts to himself being the new opponent for Powers. What happened to Wallstreet by the way? He’s just vanished into thin air. Oh well, no fucks were given. Nick Patrick meanwhile comes out to officiate, which I suppose puts an end to the ambiguity regarding his crooked referee status. Although in typical WCW fashion the whole thing was about as subtle as a sledgehammer being smashed into your ballsack.

Giant winds up for the chokeslam, but as he puts his hand around Powers’ neck…

El Jobber Fantastico literally just falls to the mat. He’s been so conditioned to job that he skips past the actual finish and just falls down to be pinned. Sad. It actually looked like one of those glitches on the old PS1 wrestling games, where the frames drop and you skip most of the finishing move. I hated it when that happened. Giant looks confused for a moment, then reaches down and grabs Jim’s neck again, hauling him up…

And slamming him down.

You may notice we’ve gone to splitscreen. Why? Because apparently WCW thinks it’s a good idea to show Hogan spraypainting the walls of the arena. No, I’m not kidding.

What a rebel. This is a guy in his forties, by the way. A guy who has two kids. Going around tagging walls like a street thug. How cool. Fucking boomer.

Hogan sings “hooray for Hollywooood” in a really weird voice that makes this scene even less cool. 

Hogan starts chatting with the Nasty Boys – who cares? He gives them the key to his hotel suite and tells them to pop the champagne corks, saying he wants to talk business with them. Find better business partners. He also hands Knobbs the WCW Heavyweight title to take back to the hotel room. The sight of Knobbs with the strap makes me feel despondency in a way I can’t describe, so I’m not even going to show a screenshot of that.

Hogan gurns at the camera and continues to sing “hooray for Hollywood”. Words cannot do justice in describing how fucking irritating he sounds.

Bruh, just stop it already.

We go to a break, and come back to this.

Bischoff reflecting how I’m feeling, watching Hogan behave like the biggest fucking dork in existence. He’s wearing Macho Man’s hat now. He looks like a dicksplash.

Jim Duggan’s music starts playing. Oh lord, why is this just getting worse? Those poor fans. Just shitty match after shitty match. They aren’t even seeing the majority of the nWo stuff going on.

Oh, I guess the Powers Vs Wallstreet/Giant match ended? Or did it even begin? I don’t know.

Jim Powers’ match ended with him jobbing to the entire nWo.

Anyhow, let’s see what riveting television is about to occur with everyone’s favourite patriotic dunce making an appearance.

As Duggan comes out, the Giant announces “Jim Duggan versus Ron Studd” – bro, how are you this bad at ring announcing? You’re supposed to announce people as they enter, not both competitors at once.

Duggan comes out screaming “HOOOOO”. Terrifying.

Before Ron Studd enters, Hall repeats three times that “he’s a comer”. I don’t know what that means exactly, but it sounds worryingly sexual.

The Vanilla Gorilla waddles out, pointing at Duggan whilst muttering something incomprehensible. He looks a bit deranged.

Before Studd can get to the ring, Hogan walks in front of him and shakes his hand.

Studd appears utterly baffled as Hogan speaks, like the human language itself is beyond his ability to grasp.

Hogan and Nash then start beating down The Super Giant Ninja.

Small personal story, but I have a very vivid memory of watching this from when I was a kid. For some reason it’s a scene that stuck with me. Only one problem – I don’t exactly remember it happening this way. I have a very clear memory of Studd standing on the top of the entrance ramp, the camera behind him. Hall and Nash then attack Studd as he turns around. I am somewhat sure this is the only time our beloved Vanilla Gorilla got attacked by the nWo, however, so I guess we put it down to the Mandela effect. Or my brain having a shitty memory. Probably that one, actually. Hogan jabs Studd with a hilariously weak chair shot to the neck area. The nWo theme plays and Hall calls it “the soundtrack to your favourite adult movie”.

For what it’s worth, I’m not sure we can be too harsh on Hollywood here. Let’s not forget that Studd was the infamous Yetay, who dry-humped Hogan into oblivion at Halloween Havoc ’95. You could argue Mr Studd had this coming. A long overdue receipt from the Hulkster. Justified.

Syxx is announced as Hacksaw’s new opponent, and he’s standing on the turnbuckle preparing to have a battle of wits with the man built like an overweight fridge.

I mean, it’s a bit of an upgrade from Duggan Vs Studd… but no matter who the opponent, a match with Duggan has a ceiling. Shawn Michaels in his heyday might manage a two star match at best. He’d probably get a three star out of a match with Duggan’s 2x4. By that I mean his stick of wood. Uh, wait, I mean… oh fuck it, you know what I mean, get your minds out of the gutter.

“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan Vs Syxx

Hacksaw gets a “USA” chant going and tries to whack Syxx and then Patrick with his massive piece of wood. Unfortunately he misses both targets, who scramble to the outside.

As Duggan is distracted trying to whomp Patrick with his plank, Syxx sneaks up behind and attacks.

Patrick giving MJ a run for his money with those moves. SHAMONE.

Duggan dominates the early stages.

Check out this homemade nWo shirt in the crowd.

I mean, it’s a better effort than the guy who literally wrote “nWo” on a white shirt with marker pen, but still… the actual merch was out by now. Have some respect for yourself bro.

Syxx is saved by the Giant, who pulls Duggan out to ringside and gives him this awkward looking chokeslam on the ring mats.

Yeah, Duggan is so thicc that Giant actually has to wrap his other arm around Hacksaw’s torso. The “chokeslam” is almost as bad as the one Rick Steiner took some time back. Almost.

Giant rolls Duggan into the ring, and Syxx pins for the win. Not exactly what you’d call a showcase match for Syxx.

Syxx defeats “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan via pinfall.

Hogan, DiBiase and Vincent continue to bully Bischoff at the announce booth. DiBiase has said to Bischoff more than once “if you can’t beat them, join them”, or some variant. Foreshadowing? Maybe, but I don’t think I can bring myself to believe WCW were thinking that far ahead.

After a WCW Magazine advert which promises an interview with Glacier - get fucked - Sting’s entrance music hits.

Apparently the car is called “nWo Sting”. OK. Were they so desperate to get this name graphic up that they couldn’t wait five seconds for the wrestler to come out of the entranceway?

New World Order’s “we have Sting at home” comes out slapping hands with the WCW faithful. Bischoff calls him a cheap knock off, etc. I’m surprised he even recognises that this is an imposter. I was expecting that Bischoff would start crying about Sting defecting again.”Only a sucker would fall for it, and yes, WCW fell for it”, says Bischoff. I mean – where’s the lie? – but way to bury yourself and everyone else in WCW. “Never again”. Yeah, we’ll see about that chief.

The bell rings and nWo Sting lets out a lame “wooooo”.

There’s some big bald guy in the ring who, from behind, looks like a slightly slimmer Otis. He didn’t get an introduction and I don’t know who he is. To the internet…

Bo LeDeau. Bo LeDeau. Who the fuck is Bo LeDeau?

nWo Sting Vs. Bo LeDeau

Bo gets beaten in around a minute. Thanks for coming. I don’t think we ever see him again in WCW or anywhere else. On the basis of this match I guess that’s for the best. The crowd chant “we want Sting”. Well, instead you got fucking Bo.

nWo Sting defeats Bo LeDouche via submission.

Another pathetic match on what has been a largely pathetic night for actual wrestling. We got this fucking nonsense and missed out on Rey Mysterio Jr Vs Super Calo, in a match where Calo went so crazy he actually injured himself. Life fucking sucks.

DANGER, HIGH VOLTAGE, says the arena speakers as Kaos and Rage come out, flailing around like they’ve just dropped a ton of speed, as always.

Kaos yells at the camera that High Voltage are “high on life”. On life. Yeah, sure.

Their opponents…

You have got to be shitting me. This is the main event of the show for fuck’s sake. THE MAIN EVENT IS HIGH VOLTAGE VERSUS THE AMAZING FRENCH FUCKING CANADIANS. How was WWE losing the ratings war to this? Seriously, how? What the fuck did they have on their show that was so bad that this bullshit was the better option?

High Voltage Vs The Amazing French Canadians

I’m begging for the nWo guys to come down and hand out another beating. Please.

Bald spot asks for everyone to stand up and sing the Canadian national anthem.

Yes, thank god. Here come the lads to save us from this fucking atrocity. “Those are our boys” says Hollywood on commentary. Agreed. No wonder the nWo became babyfaces if they were breaking up shit matches like this. They were doing us all a favour.

Sadly the Amazing French Canadians do not take a beating – instead they just leave, and Hall and Nash take their places. That’s fine too, I guess.

High Voltage Vs The Outsiders

Total domination from start to finish by the Outsiders. It ends with Kaos taking a powerbomb.

Embarrassing effort from Rage and Kaos. Low Voltage.

The Outsiders defeat High Voltage via pinfall.

We go back to the announce desk, where the boys are just chatting shit as Bischoff looks on in despair.

They replay the Macho Man getting destroyed whilst Hogan calls him “bald spot”. Stealing my lines.

The show ends with Hogan plugging his next movie, The Three Ninjas, which I wouldn’t advise going out of your way to see. It does lead to something pretty hilarious in WCW’s future, but we’ll get there.

The shows ends with DiBiase laughing maniacally, Vincent bullying Bischoff and Hogan flexing his muscles. Magical.

Look, I know the nWo invasion was new and exciting at the time, but man… I feel sorry for this crowd. What a show to sit through. At least they were given a glimmer of hope with Rey Vs Calo before it all turned to shit. We didn’t even get to see that. Just to confirm, these were the matches tonight:

The Dungeon of Doom Vs Juventud Guerrera and Brad Armstrong Chris Jericho Vs Mike Enos Glacier Vs Pat Tanaka Public Enemy Vs Harlem Heat Greg Valentine Vs Randy Savage The Giant Vs Jim “Jobber” Powers Syxx Vs Jim Duggan nWo Sting Vs Bo LeFuckingDeau The Outsiders Vs High Voltage

When the best match in that list, by a fucking mile, was Chris Jericho Vs Mike Enos then you have problems. Fuck you WCW, and fuck me for even watching this.

Soi kèo chính xác trận Blackburn vs Wigan 3h00 ngày 7/2/2023

Dạo gần đây, Blackburn thi đấu không tốt khi chỉ thắng 1/5 vòng vừa qua tại Championship (thua 3). Chuỗi trận nhạt nhòa đó đã khiến "Hoa hồng" rơi khỏi Top 6 giải đấu (được dự playoff thăng hạng vào cuối mùa) nhưng tất cả sẽ chỉ là tạm thời nếu như thầy trò HLV Tomasson tìm lại được phong độ bởi hiện họ chỉ kém đội thứ 3 Middlesbrough có 5 điểm mà còn chơi ít hơn 2 trận.

Cách đây vài ngày theo https://tinsoikeo.vip, Blackburn đã vượt qua đối thủ cùng hạng Nhất Birmingham ở trận đá lại vòng 4 FA Cup để giành quyền đi tiếp. Chiến công đó ít nhiều giúp toàn đội có được sự hưng phấn trước màn đón tiếp Wigan, đối thủ khó chịu mà họ không thể đánh bại ở 4 lần đụng độ mới nhất (thua 3), trong đó có thất bại 0-1 ở lượt đi Championship mùa này.

Nhưng may cho Blackburn là Wigan hiện đang trong giai đoạn hỗn loạn khi đã không thắng 7 vòng mới nhất tại giải hạng Nhất Anh và thua 5 trong số đó. Hệ quả, Wigan đã rơi xuống đáy BXH và cách biệt với vị trí an toàn gần nhất tăng lên 4 điểm. Vị tướng thứ 2 của Wigan trong mùa giải 2022/23, Kolo Toure (cựu trung vệ người Bờ Biển Ngà từng khoác áo Arsenal, Man City và Liverpool) vừa bị sa thải.

Nhân vật tiếp theo được gửi gắm niềm tin cho công cuộc "trục vớt" con tàu đắm Wigan là Shaun Maloney - cựu tiền vệ người Scotland cũng từng thi đấu ở Premier League (trong màu áo Aston Villa và chính Wigan). Ngoài chút hiểu biết về đội bóng cũ thì hồ sơ kinh nghiệm huấn luyện của cựu cầu thủ 40 tuổi này rất hạn chế: mới có khoảng hơn nửa năm (12/2021-4/2022) dẫn dắt Hibernian - đội bóng trung bình tại giải VĐQG Scotland.

Chuyến làm khách của Blackburn vào đêm nay chính là màn ra mắt Wigan của tân HLV Maloney và có lẽ ông sẽ phải nhận nỗi buồn. Mức chấp Hòa (1/2) dành cho Blackburn đúng là không cao nhưng phù hợp với tình hình hiện tại của đội bóng này, chưa kể họ vừa tốn không ít sức lực cho tấm vé đi tiếp ở FA Cup. Bản thân Blackburn cực kỳ có duyên với mức chấp 1/2: toàn thắng 4 trận gần nhất phải chấp đội khách handicap tương tự thuộc khuôn khổ Championship. Rộng ra, Blacburn đang là đội thắng sân nhà trên phương diện châu Á cao nhất giải hạng Nhất mùa này (9/13 trận). Chọn Blackburn.

Phân tích tài xỉu Blackburn vs Wigan (2 1/4)

4/5 trận sân nhà vừa qua của Blackburn ở các giải đấu chính thức xuất hiện không dưới 3 bàn được ghi, giống như 5/8 trận sân khách gần đây thuộc Championship của Wigan. Chọn: Tài

Dự đoán kết quả Blackburn vs Wigan: 2-1

Reasons you should vote for each of them and full art below!

Addy Goldman (by @ihaveapencilbehindmyear for Vampire: The Masquerade)

(art by @wyllora)

Meet Hollywood's newest darling, Adeline Lee Goldman! This sweet Southern Belle is the star of a popular supernatural drama; yes, she's a vampire who plays a vampire on TV! She'll stop at nothing for success, and she's going to need all her charm to navigate the world of vampire politics.

Marcy Valiente (by @confusedwithglitter for Vampire: The Masquerade)

(art by @confusedwithglitter)

Marcy is a century old vampire living in Birmingham. He plays peacemaker between the vampire and werewolf factions, the only one in the city who is able to do so, and was called out and wounded in court for defending the latter. A sweet young man with his fair share of past relationships, Marcy wears his heart on his sleeve and spends his time wandering around the city in dog form. Charming and endearing, Marcy maneuvers society by being unassuming and patient (though the jury's out on if that patience is based in wisdom or cowardice). He's also almost completely covered in tattoos!

Halos Lightbringer (by @cl3ric for Dungeons & Dragons)

(art by @alanahsart-blog)

Halos is a Half Orc cleric of Light from the campaign Silverlinings! Hailing from a small island off the coast of Nicodranas and raised by two loving, still alive adoptive parents, she was driven to become a cleric of Pelor because of her cousin and role model Priya, a paladin of the same god. Halos strives to help others while maintaining a positive attitude-- this can be a little off putting to her coworkers in a "why are you so happy that we have to get mutant rats out of the sewer" way. She loves talking, cooking for her friends, and being a good cleric.

Her main arc so far is her struggle in balancing her faith and her friendship-- when her best friend (and pathetic little meow meow) Argos is revealed to have killed a lighthouse keeper due to something taking control of them in their sleep, Halos helps them and the rest of the party lie to the police when they're questioned. This leaves Halos questioning if she's still a good person, if she's still righteous, and a fear of losing her place as a cleric starts to grow. She resolves to make sure that Argos never hurts another person again if she can stop it. So far it's been successful! ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍

A vote for Halos is for religiously obsessed magical girls! ‍‍ ‍‍

Him saying that, does not imply they are a couple.

During a junket, Tom stated that he and Peter Parker are similar when it comes to romance. -> IRRELEVANT. Peter is a fictional character, who has a crush on MJ. Tom is a real person, who has repeatedly stated, that he is NOT dating Zendaya. Learn the difference.

June 1, 2019

London

Lots of cute moments, laughter, heart eyes, telltale interaction, and denial (kinda sorta).  During several interviews Tom and Z were lost in their own little world.  I’m convinced Jacob was our Tomdaya wingman! -> INTERPRETATION OF EVENTS. Co-workers/friends promoting a movie together.

June 17, 2019

Tom and Z, along with Jacob, Jon, and Jake, were at the Tower Bridge in London for a photocall. -> Work related.

Z, sporting Mary Jane vibes (red hair) posted a photo of herself and captioned it, Face it, Tiger… -> IRRELEVANT.

June 18, 2019

Un Nuevo Dia Interview:  Tom, the gentleman, poured his lady’s tea. Note:  Z once said she was looking for a gentleman.  -> Calling Zendaya „his lady“ is an assumption. Zendaya meaning Tom with that statement is an INTERPRETATION.

Z said the closer you are to someone, the weirder it is to kiss onscreen.  Tom said it’s a little awkward because they’re mates (he’s not lying, they are very very good friends) and then agrees with Z it’s weird. -> Nope, definitely did not lie. They are JUST friends, who happen to work together.

Tom, Z, Whitney, Harry, Jacob, and Jake attended the David Blaine Show.  Tom and Z sat next to one another. -> Co-workers/friends promoting a movie together.

Z posted a story tonight from a suite other than the one she and Whitney have been posting from.  It appears to be similar to the suite they were using to conduct interviews (Tom’s suite?) -> ASSUMPTION.

June 19, 2019

ET Interview

Conclusion:  They never said they’re not in a relationship.  They said it’s strange/annoying that people want their onscreen relationship to exist irl. -> INTERPRETATION/INSINUATION, that is false.

Yong Chavez Interview clip (Yong informs Tom and Z that fans have noticed they mirror one another)

Z posted a story of just the two of them making faces during an interview with Jacob.  -> IRRELEVANT.

Tom and Z departed NY for LA together. -> Co-workers/friends hanging out together.

Los Angeles

June 26, 2019

Tom and Z attend the Spider-man:  Far From Home red carpet premiere and after-party. Tom’s mum admires Z’s dress. -> Co-workers/friends working together. Nikki „admiring“ the dress is an interpretation.

Tom was photographed touching Z’s bare back. -> He could either grab her naked back or her clothed bottom. 🤡

June 27, 2019

Tom and Z, along with Jake, visited the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.  Z and Tom adorably helped a patient chase Mysterio. -> Co-workers/friends working together.

July 10, 2019

Tom followed and then immediately unfollowed a Euphoria fan account. -> IRRELEVANT.

July 14, 2019

The End

Interesting. As soon as the press tour is over, so are the random outings of Tom and Zendaya, that many mistake as “dates”, and which are losely based on the sightings of fans. Suddenly they no longer hang out together, post about the other, etc.

Could it be because two Spiderman movies are out and promoted at this point, the third one was not yet confirmed at the time and there was no reason for promotion any longer? 👀

Screams like a friendship to me, highly exaggerated for PR reasons. As soon as no more PR was needed, they went their separate ways.

Man United vs Leeds: Đại thâm thù bắt đầu từ một cái áo rách

Cặp đấu Man United vs Leeds với người hâm mộ trẻ tuổi có thể trông bình thường đến nhạt nhòa nhưng hãy nhớ rằng Sir Alex Ferguson từng nói, so về mức độ thù hận và kình địch, "derby nước Anh" Man United vs Liverpool không đủ tầm với cuộc chiến này. Giữa Man United vs Leeds, là hận nhau, đến xương tủy. Các chuyên gia còn phải thờ phào cho rằng thật tốt khi đang là mùa dịch để lực lượng CĐV của 2 đội không thể chạm trán nhau vào đêm nay. Sự thù hận này, về cường độ có thể giảm theo thời gian vì những biến động của Leeds nhưng bản chất nó chưa bao giờ thay đổi. Chính sự thù hận này tạo ra chủ nghĩa hooligan nổi tiếng của xứ sương mù, khởi nguồn của những khẩu hiệu ghê tởm trên khán đài. Nhưng sẽ thật bất ngờ khi biết 2 đội mới chỉ gặp nhau ở giải quốc nội có 9 lần trong thế kỷ này, và 5 lần khác trong thập kỷ 80. Vậy nó bắt đầu từ đâu? Dù thuộc 2 thành phố lớn của nước Anh nhưng mâu thuẫn của 2 đội bóng không liên quan gì đến các sự kiện "Cuộc chiến hoa hồng" hay "Cách mạng công nghiệp" nổi tiếng. Mọi chuyện bắt đầu từ mùa 1994/95 khi đội bóng vừa thăng hạng Leeds giáp mặt M.U tới 4 lần. Leeds giành thắng lợi ở lần gặp mặt đầu tiên nhưng chính trận bán kết FA Cup năm đó ở Hillsborough đã tạo nên hàng thập kỷ khinh bỉ kéo theo. Đầu tiên, Nobby Stiles của Quỷ đỏ cho Albert Johanneson nằm cáng với một cú đạp bóng ghê rợn. Tiếp đó, Jack Charlton trả thù cho đồng đội bằng cách kéo rách áo của huyền thoại Denis Law. "Tôi vung tay vào mặt Jack và chúng tôi bắt đầu lao vào đấm nhau", Law nhớ lại. "Tôi không để ý được rằng đồng đội của cả hai bên đã lao vào cuộc chiến, những cú đấm tung ra khắp mọi nơi". Từ dưới sân, virus bạo lực leo lên khán đài tạo ra một khung cảnh thảm họa giữa màu đỏ và trắng. Chiếc áo rách của Law sau này được bán đấu giá 2.600 bảng, dù nó không còn nguyên bản khi được một nhân viên bán hàng - có mẹ làm việc ở phòng giặt là của Sheffield Wednesday, khâu lại. Sau cùng, Leeds vượt qua M.U ở bán kết nhưng thất bại trước Liverpool ở chung kết FA Cup. Tại giải quốc nội, họ dẫn đầu cho đến tận ngày cuối cùng của mùa giải nhưng trận hòa với Birmingham City giúp cho Law cùng các đồng đội ở M.U đăng quang vô địch khi vượt hơn về hiệu số bàn thắng bại. Cả hai tiếp tục sự so kè ở những năm tiếp theo khi cùng về đích trong Top 4 ở 3 mùa sau đó. Leeds trụ lại tốt nhất, họ vẫn giữ được vị trí trong nhóm đầu cho đến ngày M.U bị xuống hạng năm 1974 - đó cũng là năm Leeds giành được chức vô địch Anh thứ 2 trong lịch sử. Đến năm 1978, hận thù leo lên một mốc mới khi 2 trụ cột của Leeds là Joe Jordan và Gordon McQueen chuyển nhượng tới M.U. Các trận đấu giữa 2 đội trở thành phông bạt cho màn ẩu đả đẫm máu từ ngoài sân cho tới tận khán đài, ở cả Old Trafford lẫn Elland Road. Những bước ngoặt lịch sử cũng khéo léo đẩy 2 đội đến thế đối đầu. Leeds là đội vô địch cuối cùng của giải đấu cao nhất nước Anh vào năm 1992 - trước khi nó được đổi tên thành Premier League. Và kỷ nguyên Premier League thì đánh dấu sự hồi sinh khủng khiếp của Quỷ đỏ trong tay Sir Alex. M.U phát triển vượt quá tầm kiểm soát của Leeds, họ thậm chí mua được cả những trụ cột của đội bóng áo trắng, nổi bật là Eric Cantona năm 1992 và Alan Smith năm 2004. Khi Leeds, lúc đó đã xuống League One (hạng Ba Anh), tham dự trận đấu thuộc FA Cup tại Old Trafford vào năm 2010, banner to tướng "Cảm ơn vì một triệu bảng" đập thẳng vào mắt những vị khách. Đó chính là lời chế giễu của fan M.U vì chuyện Leeds từng "bán như cho" Cantona với giá 1 triệu bảng vào 18 năm trước, để rồi King Eric trở thành huyền thoại bất tử ở Old Trafford. Với những ai còn nhớ Alf-Inge Haaland, cha của siêu sao đang lên Erling Haaland, chắc hẳn biết cú đạp bóng không hối hận của Roy Keane khiến đối thủ phải giải nghệ. Lúc bị đạp, Alf-Inge thuộc biên chế Man City. Nhưng mâu thuẫn với Keane bắt đầu khi Alf-Inge còn đang chơi cho Leeds. Thù riêng, hận chung, cựu đội trưởng của M.U giữ trong lòng cho tới khi trả được "nợ" thì thôi. Fan Quỷ đỏ có thể chế giễu Leeds vì Cantona, nhưng nhưng những ngôi sao M.U chuyển tới Elland Road cũng có được thành công vang dội. Johnny Giles chuyển tới vào năm 1963 và lọt vào đội hình vĩ đại nhất của Leeds. Năm 1989, sau mâu thuẫn với Sir Alex, Gordon Strachan chuyển sang Leeds với giá 300.000 bảng. Ông làm đội trưởng và đưa Leeds vô địch cả giải hạng Hai và hạng Nhất Anh. "Trong thời gian tôi ở M.U, Leeds còn ở hạng dưới", Strachan kể lại. "Tôi chưa bao giờ đặt chân tới Elland Road cho tới tận ngày ký hợp đồng. Và chỉ đến khi gặp lại M.U, tôi mới nhận ra đôi bên hận thù nhau đến mức nào. Tôi không biết làm cách nào mà mình vượt qua được chuyện đó nữa".
