What has been your clubs moment of the season? 🤔
Onya Flav! Classy response
"he's been our best player this season"
"you got 38 points, I agree"
will go down as one of the all-time classic burns on this show now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Feel really sorry for the club
The same club that got us banned from Europe for 5 years
In 5 years Arsenal will be well below spurs. Kroenke has no ambition about winning and no understanding about football
Can Newcastle ever get a word in ? Did better than Forrest and villa so ….. any chance ?
12:48 how many times before fans start realizing winning a cup does not "galvanize your squad to push on and do more!".. My team won an FA cup and it did not do anything to us the following season, 5 years later no trophies. Man united won the FA cup and became MUCH worse (15TH!).. Wigan won it and got relegated.. Chelsea won the champions league and fell off a cliff. Pool & City only outliers because they're ACTUALLY good teams with elite players, good coaches and well run. I Guarantee Tottenham will not have a better season next season. Newcastle & Palace will not have better seasons next season too.
22:13 guy just hates Maddison. If you watch the post-match interviews he doesn't make it about himself at all.
Flav is funny af 🤣
35:15 Bruno Fernandes
Is carrying that team we can all now understand that Manchester United are now not the top team anymore. Lmk if anyone disagrees
Spurs were the first English team to win a European trophy.
Love this. But the City kid well out of his depth
For the community question it has to be either Man City or spurs but they chose Chelsea against spurs for the reason being spurs has more fans in london like tf , Chelsea has much bigger fanbase and more trophies but against city they used the trophy criteria not the fans like again tf , the agenda against Chelsea is real.
To all the Chelsea fans just ignore the haters , the agenda against us will always be there whether we win or lose , we will win again and they will hate regarding it so just ignore them , those haters will evven cry more since nothing they do will work against us
Oh Jennings is on. nevermind then
Can we get Redmen TV on here? Been so long since they did one of these
Well done Justin, great Villa rep
Do any of these "fans" actually go to games? 🤔
Thought the Villa spoke well.
Mufc best sways fans in the land
One of the best episodes i saw yet. Loved the more relaxed vibe and people throwing in some more banter, had a great laugh! And still managed to keep it interesting about the professional football side.
More like this! Thank you everybody involved <3
Bang on Adam he’s a leader playing 3 roles cos players can’t do what he can so he feels he has to do it himself
Forest back to scraping around at the bottom next season
Wher gary hiding out 😂
This Roy makes a living off being a hated troll .. embarrassment of a human
Spurs have blamed injuries ALL season and “we love ange” from the media, Arsenal have had the most injuries this season, facts and it’s “😂 Arsenal with the excuses”
We finished second and they finished 17th
Before the Europa league final flav was saying spurs need to sack ange whatever the result. Now they won hes saying they cant sack him🤡
Need to start hearing from other fans/teams – sick of the timeline being Man United for half the video when they’ve finished 15th and done absolutely nothing all season.
City got rejected
They have not now just realised the fee they have to pay for writz
They would have known for a while the fee.
Thanks overlap great show 👍
10:17: why is the europa papa John’s trophy more significant than a league cup? 10:17 Newcastle had to beat Nottingham forest, Chelsea, Brentford and arsenal twice.
26:10 got the answer on Bristol rovers, Scotty Sinclair 🍀
funny how they refuse to get clive to represent arsenal
Justin representing the Villa..nice one great job mate 👍
Least spending out of big 5 and have won more than all of them combined in recent times. Just hating 🩵🩵
UNITED WERE FAR SUPERIOR TO SPURS ON THE DAY
A SHOCKING DEFLECTED GOAL
AND GOAL LINE CLEARANCES AND AMAZING SAVES
UR CONFIDENCE HAS PROVEN TO BE UNWARRANTED
Would be good to hear from Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, West Ham, Everton, Fulham etc fans to get a more rounded view
This is a weak show. I’m out!
Why don’t we go and play 4-4-2 then…! That’s where Man Utd’s success come from. Got to move on from the past!
'Singing the ruben almiron song' may be the most embarrassing sentence ive ever heard😂
