@Sapient Hawk look at the guy, he looks so calm, unlike how he sounds with his glorious commentary :lol:



He's actually the only Arabic commentator I have time for as the vocabulary he tends to use during the match isn't as hyperbolic as the rest nor does he go off on stupid tangents that have nothing to do with the football on display either :lol:

The comments there often mentioned Virgil Van Maguire :lol:

Did he ever say that, or it's a meme of his commentary:lol:

It's a meme, but he wouldn't be the first commentator to get players mixed up.

There's one Qatari commentator, now retired for 2 years, who was a favourite of mine because he was the poster guy for the "So bad it's so good" category.

Once in the mid 2000's he was commenting on a Milan game.

This was the commentary :

"SEEDORF, TRYING TO GET PAST THE PLAYER, SEEDORF, SEEDORF!! HE'S ALMOST PAST HIM"

Apologies, our dear viewers, I made a mistake, that wasn't Seedorf with the ball, it was his teammate, Mattuso!"

Got thd player wrong not once, but twice 🤣

Not sure why you're getting pushback for saying this, the Galacticos were a failure in anything other than marketing. Probably the greatest collection of individual talent in football history and they got consistently dicked by lesser teams.

Would be like if you lot snapped up Mbappe, Vini, Bellingham and De Bruyne this summer and then still somehow got beat to the title by Liverpool ffs.



Never mind that the Galactico era is universally seen as a disaster by the club and Perez where they got consistently sonned by Barcelona for the better part of five years.

Forget they sacked an all time great in Del Bosque and replaced him with Carlos Quieroz and then Luxemburgo who’d only managed once outside Brazil his entire career - Al-Itihad in 1984.

Also apparently doesn’t matter that whilst signing Beckham and R9 they sold Makelele. Also they didn’t sign a defender for four years then the ones they did sign were clowns like Cicinho and Carlos Diogo.

Also someone tell Arsène that this is now a great CL record if Real Madrid managed it:

It’s definitely not because the Iranian Danny De Vito himself @Farzad Stoned and an Ajax fan who only turns up on here when Real Madrid win want to score some personal points.

Ajax? I like Arsenal. Dortmund i am fond of somewhat other than that i am neutral about other clubs and leagues. I have never been an Ajax fan except; i was kind of a fan when Overmars got caught sending D pics. It’s just a funny story. Oh i forgot that passes for trauma nowadays to uou snowflakes, oops my bad

The first few years of the Galacticos era were pretty good, 2 European Cups and 2 League titles...it also started going tits up from.2003/2004 on, and it didn't really get fixed until about 2010/2011.

Del Bosque, Makelele and Hierro all leaving in summer 03 pretty much killed them, took their eye off the ball badly at that point and started doing things like a crazy FM save.

No wonder you had to pay out the nose to that Karen if your reading comprehension is this great.

Clearly I was talking about @razörist genius. Also way to respond to the argument and go on another tangent.

I thought it's only the body parts that you can score with?

Right, didn't know that.



Looks like Mazraoui was onside.

I think the more egregious act isn't whether he was onside or not, it's the fact that the refs went against central instruction and raised the flag before play had concluded which is what they're supposed to do.

I swear Arabic commentators have ruined more visits to the loo than anything in my existence. You get a dodgy stream, put it on the tannoy at a decent level, then you have to go to toilet. Suddenly the commentator is shouting like World War 3 was on, and you scamper along barely dressed to the telly.

Only to find it is a thrown-in on the halfway line....

Arsenal Quotes

The English codified the rules of football just as the French perfected wine. We don't often ask an English person to come over to make Bordeaux.
