We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Unbelievable.
I'm fairly certain you could describe it in excruciating detail and I still wouldn't understand it.

Dalty, have you seen this?



Some of it made me cringe.

Klopp cracks me up! He's a lunatic.

I'm happy to see this Liverpool team is peopled almost entirely by native Liverpudlians. Having natives on the team really helps the locals want to root for the team.

That's something I really love about professional team sports. They really give the hometown heroes a chance to shine.

So is everyone going apeshit over Leicester City winning the EPL? I read an article from an expat trying to explain to Americans on what kind of huge miracle this is and just no-one able to compare it it anything else

I really hope they do, but their run in is tougher than Tottenham's and Spurs are looking sharp.

Leicester won 4-0 this afternoon.

They have Man Utd, Everton and Chelsea to go. So not an easy run in.

They need 5 points from 3 games if Spurs win all theirs. It's one hell of a tight finale.

Dalty must have been ecstatic after the first half of yesterday's Champions League clash between Liverpool and City. Teams managed by Guardiola don't fall apart often, but when they do, it's a proper implosion.

Anyway, I'm glad that the more likable group of multimillionaires won. ;)
