For some reason, I can imagine Rory being really good at getting out of things with his missus for the sake of football...can imagine her just rolling her eyes the moment rory mentions "...but the majesty of this game" or some bollocks
Good clean fun - As a boy I used to watch Colchester United at their old ground, Layer Road every game (2000's). In the stands there was a lad with down's syndrome that would watch and cheer every week. From every corner of the ground you could audibly hear him sing "The referees a WINE GUM" as I believe this is what he thought the fans were singing. From time to time in unison, the whole ground would join in repeating the chant and even drew some waves and acknowledgement from the referees. He became a legend in the stands and people used to buy him packs of wine gums and bring them to the game for him. He loved it, the fans loved it and even the referees loved it sometimes when they were in on the joke - good clean and wholesome fun.
Arsenal fan here & I missed the title clash at the Emirates v City, arguably the biggest game of Arsenal’s recent history because of a lapse in my memory & being momentarily blinded with eagerness by being asked out on a first date. She’s a stunner, & I leapt to accept the offer. I was debating asking to reschedule but I didn’t want to blow my chance with a lady who’s probably out of my league, but I also didn’t want to miss the Arsenal potentially taking a huge step towards clinching the league. I opted for the date instead & Arsenal of course went on to bottle it & I’m now in a very happy, nearly year long relationship. Sometimes soldiers fall for the greater good. Much love to all the slugs out there.
I wonder how the me in the alternate timeline whereby the date was a disaster & Arsenal went on to smash City that night & go on to win the league is feeling... @@edenholt4394
Weird Flex: I've got a loud clap. No need to slam my hands together like a maniac, just natural technique. I've always known about this talent since primary school and on the very rare non-football related occasions where clapping is acceptable I will subtly let those around me know of this hidden talent often to shocked and surprised reactions. Can't explain it I tell them, just maybe what I was put on this earth to do. 🤷
I think something else that Man Utd will need to consider/something that could be an issue for them if they leave finding a new manager too late is they will have to compete with the biggest clubs for their next manager. We already know at the end of the season both Barcelona and Liverpool will be hiring new managers. Tuchel is probably going to be sacked meaning Bayern will also be hiring a new manager. There is going to be big competition for available managers if Utd decide to move on from Ten Hag at the end of this season
Soldier's lost in battle: I missed this weekends FA Cup tie between Leicester and Birmingham due to my long-distance partner coming to UK which only happens monthly. I set notifications on a football scores app for only this game. As we are engaging in some 'fleet services roleplay', I hear the 'swoosh, ding' from my phone. Knowing this is an update from the game, 2 minutes later I go for an early Ranieri-like tinker and ask to swap positions, involving her turning around, so I can quickly check who scored. After seeing Leicester are 1-0 up and it's a Vardy goal with an Albrighton assist, I am in nostalgic dreamland. All I could thing about for the rest of the session is how good Albrightons cross probably was. Looking back, the only thing that could have made the whole scenario better, is upon completion of said roleplay, I said 'look at the swaz on that jizz!'. P.S. I'm also the MA student 'cheeky nosh off' guy from a while back, and I'm proud to say I now have a job in the industry and am loving it. Up the slugs.
Soldiers lost in battle. I’m a Newcastle fan that went to every champions league game this season bar one, which one? PSG 4-1 at home. Reason being, months ago I agreed I’d go to a 5sos concert with my girlfriend as none of her friends wanted to, plus why would I be doing anything on a random weekday night? It killed me. I avoided any knowledge of the game and watched it the next day blindly, was absolutely buzzing with the game and result, which made it worse that I missed what’s arguably our best result in the past 20 years…
Big fallen soldier last year for me- little sisters birthday on Rice's last home game where he scored and ran over right to my section and gave an emotional goodbye celebration 😢
Nationality has nothing to do with home grown status (Pogba & Ake spring to mind, both home grown). You just have to of spent 3 years at a professional club in England before the age of 21
You were half right Flav about Ratcliffe selling. Ratcliffe gets first rights to match the offer on any full sale before a third party and that any full sale not made to Ratcliffe has to be at a minimum of $33 per share. Whilst obviously not impossible, this is quite unlikely, which is why Ratcliffe has paid so far over market value. Ratcliffe clearly wants the club and this is the best/only way in for him at the moment.
Good clean fun enjoyed by myself and friends at the footy: screaming ‘get there’ at your forwards whenever your defenders/goalkeeper plays a terribly over hit ball long that’s clearly going out for a goal kick at the other end. Simple, good, clean and fun.
I have an incredible soldiers lost at war, it’s long but worth it. I’m a relatively new spurs fan that fell in love with the style of play, after moving away from my home side. And after the crime committee at City, I went to check the calendar, I know they won’t, and I see a BBQ for my Girlfriend at the times terminally ill uncle. I mention to her then that if spurs get to the final I will be missing that, a threat I’ve made a lot but rarely used. First leg of Ajax comes, she’s almost excited we lost heavily. This BBQ is Important. So we’re in the pub watching the second leg, and Lucas Moura’s comeback was celebrated and followed by an immediate argument that lasted up until the final. That I watched at a fucking BBQ, next to some preppy rugby kid. I was in practical tears as the handball was given and was being asked if it was offside. She took the entire run from me. Best part is we broke up a year later as she tried to have sex with me during spurs Leicester in the covid season. I just couldn’t take the agg anymore. The uncle survived and got a Thai bride. It was all in vain.
Soldiers lost in battle: I missed Liverpool's (now legendary) 4-0 against Barcelona for my then girlfriend's birthday. I went to the bathroom so many times to check the score she probably thought I had a prostate problem. Didn't even get a nosh on the night for my sacrifice. 0/10, not worth it. Broke up 6 weeks later.
Good clean fun. When away team goalkeepers would jog towards the goal before kick off, we would chant their name and clap, when they respectfully applauded back everyone would then do the wanker sign
Not quite soldier’s lost in battle but similar. My Step-dad ‘popped out for a bit’ the other day, imagine my mums shock seeing him on the pitch at Reading on the telly. We’re Spurs fans. Rolling pin out when he got home unfortunately.
Im a Liverpool fan and once missed qpr 2-3 Liverpool back in 2014 because of my grandmothers birthday lunch. Was going to be my first away game. I was delighted when I checked the score with 10 minutes left to see we were winning 1-0 courtesy of a Richard dunne own goal…shock. I was happy with the fact I had potentially missed a boring 1-0 win where the only goal was an own goal. However as I was leaving the establishment I checked the final score it was 3-2! 3-2! With 4 goals in the last 8 minutes I was happy we won but fuming I had missed it. Tough one to take. Lunch was good though
Soldiers Lost in Battle that ended up well: I missed the final day of the season a couple years back because of my brother's graduation. In a way it was good because it ended up diluting the heartbreak of Liverpool losing the league by a point quite significantly.
Agree with the never being that top price player ever again, only player I can think of that did that in modern times was Lukaku. Maybe an argument for Havertz too actually.
The news that Klopp is leaving Liverpool this summer is dominating every media outlet and even here in America is trending #1 on Twitter, not in sports, it's #1 overall. In other more significant news, I had no idea a new JAFFN was today. Made my day and is honestly still, even after all these years, my absolute favorite show on the internet.
It’s not what villa have invested in Emery , it’s what Emery has invested with villa . I’d say Utd have more chance of getting Ange which is still unbelievably slim
United have zero chance of getting Postecoglu any time soon. They have even less chance of getting Emery. There's total synergy at Villa Park these days.
A few years ago, shortly after I'd met my girlfriend, she was having a do for her birthday, her first since we'd been together. She assured me it was fine if I went to QPR v Portsmouth's 4th round replay in the FA Cup first and turned up late. So I did, and she was mad when I got there?? This year I've been told it's absolutely fine if I go see QPR v Norwich on the day of her 30th birthday party. I suspect it's a trap, but I'm gonna do it anyway.
I really wanted Ruben Amorim back when we still had Ralf Rangnick He won sporting their first league in years and revolutionised the youth setup there. Two great features. The only downside is I don’t actually believe he speaks English. He might, just from interviews I saw at the time when doing my research.
Soldiers lost in battle: I live in New Zealand and so European games are in the morning for me. As a Tottenham fan, I was watching the Champions League semi-final against Ajax on my phone at school during assembly. It was 3-0 Ajax on aggregate at half-time when I was caught by a teacher and made to put my phone away. The rest is history.
No. I don't want ten hag to go. I give him 1 or 2 season more. It's the players that are the problem. Players like Rashford and Sancho. Done with the continous rotation of playing styles with managers and them having to repeat the same mistakes with the players. Same players, different managers and coaching staff. Same problems
According to Keiran Maguire Jim Ratcliffe has the option to match the incoming offer or he has to sell his shares if the glazers accept a bid for the club.
Not to bring a bit back from the dead but chance at a couple of home wins that might have happened since the last rendition? Feel like I could do with hearing a couple again
Flav mad at United presumption of getting anyone who they independently if they are hired by Spurs or not. Then immediately proceeds to point to Amorim in fear of losing Ange without knowing he is doing the same. The english like to think the premier league money gets them everyone but if Ange moves to United everyone loses their pearls. C'mon
Home grown is literally training for 3 years with a professional club between the ages of 15 - 21 so you can be trukish and by the rules be considered "homegrown" in England but declare for and play for a different national team 👍
I don't think anyone questions the fit of ange at united, people are just (rightfully imo) annoyed that james has portrayed it as if it's even remotely possible. (It's not) Its like saying pep would be an ideal manager for chelsea
Spurs only have more revenue than arsenal for the last couple seasons because of the champions league money, next season and likely the season after arsenal are projected to be generating at least £100m more than spurs because of the new coefficient system and with arsenal ofc being in the CL now.
Ajax didn't value Anthony at that price either. United came earlier in the window to inquire. Ajax gave them a price but also I a deadline. United didn't want to pay it. Then after losing the first 2 games they came back and Ajax asked crazy money.
Considering Flav (and all spurs fans) want Levy out every time they lose a couple, they don’t half bang on about how well run and how massive their club is when they’ve won a couple games
52:00 Weirdest Flex: I am an expert in creating 10 match accumulators, predicting the right result for 9 games but then finding that one banker that doesnt come in and ruins my day.
I honestly think that Ten Hag was just making money for Ajax because they had some tape of him rubbing his bold shiny head on some ballboy after a home loss against Twente FC, they overpaid for Martinez, they clearly did something Shady paying so much for Anthony
Not exactly family member but got my fucking maths A-Level mock on Monday, day before the Albion vs Wolves game. I’ve known for weeks, but still can’t compute that I can’t go. Up the Albion.
I can't understand how Lopetegui can possibly be in the conversation. He has had like one good season during his entire coaching career. He is not good enough to manage any club that is serious about winning silverware
With all due respect to manchester united it is a mess no manager wants to touch. Antonio Conte Preffered coming to tottenham ( a club that he hated ) over manchester united. As big as man u are the infrastructure ain't there. Yes trophies matter but most managers prefer to build a stature first ( xavi at barca is a prime example of someone not ready for the challenge despite having the experience) same goes for ange. He is finding his feet and hasn't even challenged for a title yet in uk. Yes he did incredible at celtic and in Japan but we are talking competing in a 20 team league. Even with man united as long as glazers are there , the hinderance is there for them to overcome
weird flex, i’ve got one of the best pigeon cooing impressions nationwide. however it is only subject to pigeons from the west midlands as i have no knowledge of other pigeon coos around the globe
When it comes to Manchester United despite them not being what they were. I actually think that adds a strange appeal to the job. It's like being the girl that tamed the badboy. Being the guy that fixed United will have a pull to the ego of certain managers. Especially with new owners making promises.
Yep. Mourinho for a season appeared to 'fix' them, then was fired. Then the bus driver appeared to 'fix' them for a season, and then was fired. And guess what, Ten Hag then appeared to 'fix' them last season. I wonder what's going to happen at the end of this season?
RE Klopp leaving Liverpool In the long term it would've been better if Klopp left now instead of the end of the season. The JAFFN theory that the manager appointed after a dynasty always fail means Alonso at Liverpool won't work which would be a big loss. Instead they could've got a crap manager, sack him at the end of the season and Alonso would succeed.
Weird flex - I just can’t get thrown off a bucking bronco. No matter how fast or aggressive they control it to throw me off, I always manage to stick on like a fucking limpet. I’m not proud of it, and it’s almost humiliating spinning and jolting on this stupid fucking bull at breakneck speeds, but when they stop the ride and concede defeat to me and the crowd watching applauds I can’t help but feel a bit like John Wayne with a smug smile on my face. Only forwards
Have to agree pretty much zero reason AP would go to Man U (and I'm not a fan of either club). Also Man U need more than an elder statesman. They've had veteran galactico-level managers (Van Gaal, Mourinho), tried several "fashionable" tacticians, a young old boy and the supposed Ferguson Jnr, and none worked. Can't say they were all just bad managers so obviously more to it than that.
City aren't getting punished. They're busy meeting govt officials ffs..... People really think the UK would risk it's relationship with UAE by publicly embarrassing Sheikh Mansour?? They'll get a measle fine or something. That's it. And that is why you don't let states own clubs......
@@Never_Wr0ng artificial clubs, only one I’m sad about is Newcastle cos the fans deserved better but they didn’t deserve a disgusting sports washing nation state
Unfortunately Flav is right, a lot of Utd fans are deluded and are spoilt from the past. But if like me and you started following them before Fergie started doing bits, you will await the next cycle which looks more and more evergreen by the day. 😘
Utd last year looks like an insane new manager bounce, getting the same vibe from Ange, cant base anything off one season. If spurs form persists through next season then there is a conversation
My bit of good clean fun at the football goes thusly. Maybe not fully clean but very fun. Bristol city away pre-season vs Plymouth. As a boy from Exeter I was up for it. Not much happened for most the game but the heat and alcohol got to us. Among other chants was one that singled out on specific man. One man in the front seats with his daughter. We decided that he was yewtree. We then chanted “are you Saville, are you Saville, are you Saville in disguise.” We did this for so long the man had to move seat. I posit that good clean fun peaks at calling another man a nonce. Bristol won 1-0. Cheers lads x
Can we get a JAFFN uniform way of dressing when at fleet services so we can recognise each other on sight? Tired of the misunderstandings with strangers…
Soldiers lost in battle- my mate missed the 2022 world cup final, arguably the best football match ever and definitely the best I've ever seen, because his girlfriend booked them tickets for Harry Potter at the cinema as a surprise. To this day he pretends he isn't gutted to have missed it, but there's a look in him eye that tells you he's lying every time.
this young barcelona side and the club in general is begging for a manager like ange. a xavi fangirl like me hopes he can be that person, but ange really would be perfect
My weird flex, due to my neurodiversity, my senses are slightly different than the “norm”. I have super smell, and identify people by their smell like a dog. I also don’t feel the cold until it gets below -2 degrees. I am however more sensitive to warm temperatures.
Samism on sky sports after Chelsea game. One of the pundits can’t remember her name she said referring to Palmer he has “Ice in his head” I’m assuming a mix between ice in his veins and a cool head.
Spurs won't ever challenge for a title. We've heard it many times before. Ange will be gone in 2 seasons and they'll start a new "project" all over again.
Flqv is going to make me back Celtic. Postecoglu was looking to leave from January on, his agent had him in for EVERY EPL job And he didnt have Celtic playing their best football ever
Certain to take them back up? Wouldn’t be so sure about that. Plenty of big clubs get stuck in league one for at least a few seasons. Sunderland and Ipswich are two examples that have now got out, but Portsmouth, Charlton, Bolton etc are still in League One
Weird flex. My feet are pretty functional and I use them to pick things up when I can't be bothered to bend over. Used to be able to write with them. Don't think I could now.
*Ahem, channeling my inner flav/rory* The only reason Tottenham fans are angry at the Postecoglu to Man u talk is because they're afraid it could happen. They can call themselves a big club all they like but they still have small club mentality

Home grown is literally training for 3 years with a professional club between the ages of 15 - 21 so you can be trukish and by the rules be considered "homegrown" in England but declare for and play for a different national team 👍
With City regulated, and Liverpool Kloppless... its gonna be a free-for-all to lift the League title in 24/25!!
My weird flex: I think I could join a whistling harmonised choir due to superb whistling ability
I don't think anyone questions the fit of ange at united, people are just (rightfully imo) annoyed that james has portrayed it as if it's even remotely possible. (It's not)
Its like saying pep would be an ideal manager for chelsea
Spurs only have more revenue than arsenal for the last couple seasons because of the champions league money, next season and likely the season after arsenal are projected to be generating at least £100m more than spurs because of the new coefficient system and with arsenal ofc being in the CL now.
Ange to RM. United. Barca.
Literally calm the **** down lads. This is ridiculous.
Ajax didn't value Anthony at that price either. United came earlier in the window to inquire. Ajax gave them a price but also I a deadline. United didn't want to pay it. Then after losing the first 2 games they came back and Ajax asked crazy money.
Considering Flav (and all spurs fans) want Levy out every time they lose a couple, they don’t half bang on about how well run and how massive their club is when they’ve won a couple games
14:20 "We were the massive club" 😂😂😂😂 Tottenham?? 😂😂
52:00 Weirdest Flex: I am an expert in creating 10 match accumulators, predicting the right result for 9 games but then finding that one banker that doesnt come in and ruins my day.
I honestly think that Ten Hag was just making money for Ajax because they had some tape of him rubbing his bold shiny head on some ballboy after a home loss against Twente FC, they overpaid for Martinez, they clearly did something Shady paying so much for Anthony
Not exactly family member but got my fucking maths A-Level mock on Monday, day before the Albion vs Wolves game. I’ve known for weeks, but still can’t compute that I can’t go. Up the Albion.
I can't understand how Lopetegui can possibly be in the conversation. He has had like one good season during his entire coaching career. He is not good enough to manage any club that is serious about winning silverware
With all due respect to manchester united it is a mess no manager wants to touch. Antonio Conte Preffered coming to tottenham ( a club that he hated ) over manchester united. As big as man u are the infrastructure ain't there. Yes trophies matter but most managers prefer to build a stature first ( xavi at barca is a prime example of someone not ready for the challenge despite having the experience) same goes for ange. He is finding his feet and hasn't even challenged for a title yet in uk. Yes he did incredible at celtic and in Japan but we are talking competing in a 20 team league. Even with man united as long as glazers are there , the hinderance is there for them to overcome
Klopp just announced he will leave at the end of the season... Ange is a Liverpool fan, right? 🤞
Was just about to say this.
I don't like this trend of Liverpool having semi-likeable managers though.
weird flex, i’ve got one of the best pigeon cooing impressions nationwide. however it is only subject to pigeons from the west midlands as i have no knowledge of other pigeon coos around the globe
the birthday chat was so david brent
My weird flex is that I used to be able to push my thumb backwards to touch my forearm - I can't even remember how I found out I could do it...
Evan Ferguson and Rico Lewis are only 19… 😮 that’s mental
Typical that the biggest news of the year broke out as this was released
When it comes to Manchester United despite them not being what they were. I actually think that adds a strange appeal to the job. It's like being the girl that tamed the badboy.
Being the guy that fixed United will have a pull to the ego of certain managers. Especially with new owners making promises.
Yep. Mourinho for a season appeared to 'fix' them, then was fired. Then the bus driver appeared to 'fix' them for a season, and then was fired. And guess what, Ten Hag then appeared to 'fix' them last season. I wonder what's going to happen at the end of this season?
On Johnson don't rule out so fast look at Gordon this season for Newcastle and what getting said when he joined.
James giving his little finger a sneaky suck when pretending to be on the phone 😂
Interesting to hear that Ange wouldn’t go to United because he’s a Liverpool fan. Funnily enough, a certain role is now available…
United should look where Ange has come from, bring an old favourite back to the league. Kevin Muscat
RE Klopp leaving Liverpool
In the long term it would've been better if Klopp left now instead of the end of the season.
The JAFFN theory that the manager appointed after a dynasty always fail means Alonso at Liverpool won't work which would be a big loss. Instead they could've got a crap manager, sack him at the end of the season and Alonso would succeed.
Antony deal reeks of the Jorginho Sarri situation, massively overpay for a player to clearly pay for the manager
I've watched 2 minutes and already, flav deserves the stick he gets on twitter.
Spurs the massive club that gave Ange an opportunity 😂😂 I wonder what Ange would say to that
In regards to ManU, just because the club is bigger in revenue doesn't mean it's a better job.
Weird flex - I just can’t get thrown off a bucking bronco. No matter how fast or aggressive they control it to throw me off, I always manage to stick on like a fucking limpet. I’m not proud of it, and it’s almost humiliating spinning and jolting on this stupid fucking bull at breakneck speeds, but when they stop the ride and concede defeat to me and the crowd watching applauds I can’t help but feel a bit like John Wayne with a smug smile on my face. Only forwards
Have to agree pretty much zero reason AP would go to Man U (and I'm not a fan of either club). Also Man U need more than an elder statesman. They've had veteran galactico-level managers (Van Gaal, Mourinho), tried several "fashionable" tacticians, a young old boy and the supposed Ferguson Jnr, and none worked. Can't say they were all just bad managers so obviously more to it than that.
City aren't getting punished. They're busy meeting govt officials ffs..... People really think the UK would risk it's relationship with UAE by publicly embarrassing Sheikh Mansour??
They'll get a measle fine or something. That's it.
And that is why you don't let states own clubs......
The city group is owned by the UAE, not Qatar
@@celtic69 my bad mate. PSG, City, Newcastle, Chelsea; all birds of the same feather- proven cheaters
@@Never_Wr0ng artificial clubs, only one I’m sad about is Newcastle cos the fans deserved better but they didn’t deserve a disgusting sports washing nation state
Unfortunately Flav is right, a lot of Utd fans are deluded and are spoilt from the past. But if like me and you started following them before Fergie started doing bits, you will await the next cycle which looks more and more evergreen by the day. 😘
Utd last year looks like an insane new manager bounce, getting the same vibe from Ange, cant base anything off one season. If spurs form persists through next season then there is a conversation
What? Ten Hag didn't have a style of play last season either.
My bit of good clean fun at the football goes thusly. Maybe not fully clean but very fun. Bristol city away pre-season vs Plymouth. As a boy from Exeter I was up for it. Not much happened for most the game but the heat and alcohol got to us. Among other chants was one that singled out on specific man. One man in the front seats with his daughter. We decided that he was yewtree. We then chanted “are you Saville, are you Saville, are you Saville in disguise.” We did this for so long the man had to move seat. I posit that good clean fun peaks at calling another man a nonce. Bristol won 1-0. Cheers lads x
Can we get a JAFFN uniform way of dressing when at fleet services so we can recognise each other on sight?
Tired of the misunderstandings with strangers…
Soldiers lost in battle- my mate missed the 2022 world cup final, arguably the best football match ever and definitely the best I've ever seen, because his girlfriend booked them tickets for Harry Potter at the cinema as a surprise. To this day he pretends he isn't gutted to have missed it, but there's a look in him eye that tells you he's lying every time.
this young barcelona side and the club in general is begging for a manager like ange. a xavi fangirl like me hopes he can be that person, but ange really would be perfect
My weird flex, due to my neurodiversity, my senses are slightly different than the “norm”. I have super smell, and identify people by their smell like a dog. I also don’t feel the cold until it gets below -2 degrees. I am however more sensitive to warm temperatures.
Heard a great samism today. When asking an colleague for a trip to the pub after work, their response was "does the pope shit in the woods".
Samism on sky sports after Chelsea game. One of the pundits can’t remember her name she said referring to Palmer he has “Ice in his head” I’m assuming a mix between ice in his veins and a cool head.
JLA : Fucking timestamps
You beautiful man (probs his editor) welcome to 2024
Spurs won't ever challenge for a title. We've heard it many times before. Ange will be gone in 2 seasons and they'll start a new "project" all over again.
Flav, sort your mate out yeah 😂. I like your hat btw Jim.
Sarri is a good shout but I'll take him at Chelsea tbh we as a fan base treated him like shit
Flqv is going to make me back Celtic.
Postecoglu was looking to leave from January on, his agent had him in for EVERY EPL job
And he didnt have Celtic playing their best football ever
And in terms of size of club worldwide Celtic way bigger than Spurs
If QPR do go down, surely they stick with Cifuentes, he plays the right football and is certain to get them back up right?
Certain to take them back up? Wouldn’t be so sure about that. Plenty of big clubs get stuck in league one for at least a few seasons. Sunderland and Ipswich are two examples that have now got out, but Portsmouth, Charlton, Bolton etc are still in League One
Flav should be concerned if Liverpool turn their attention to Ange...
Weird Flex - I can sniff the air and figure out which animal left its mark just by catching a whiff of the scent of their poop.
Weird flex. My feet are pretty functional and I use them to pick things up when I can't be bothered to bend over. Used to be able to write with them. Don't think I could now.
*Ahem, channeling my inner flav/rory*
The only reason Tottenham fans are angry at the Postecoglu to Man u talk is because they're afraid it could happen. They can call themselves a big club all they like but they still have small club mentality
