Football 2022/2023 Season Football Thread

Argentina win on penalties. Cracking game.

 

[Raven]

Didn't watch it because A: Fuck Fifa and B: driving home, but Messi deserves it, think he is a cunt but definite GOAT now.

 

[Aoami]

Mbappe has 12 goals in WCs and he is only 23

 

[DaGaffer]

Greatest young player in the world beaten by the greatest old player in the world in a final in Qatar and both players play for Qatar-sponsored PSG. It's like a fairy tale, if you're Qatari.

 

[Raven]

You couldn't manufacture a result like the final...but some of the penalties, that were saved in the early rounds, were weak as fuck.

Yep, loads of poor pens this tournament, it's weird

That "double height" advertising hoarding at Man City is ugly as fuck. It's like watching football against an advertising background at times.

I know it's two regulation-height hoardings, but they've angled them perfectly for the TV cameras so they can show one image as if it's on some big 8 foot high screen

And a "job" is something you have to do but probably don't love.

Training - i.e. going to a gym so a team of PhD's can help you reach physical perfection before you play footie with your mates doesn't to me seem to fit that definition.

 

[Aoami]

Saints are fucking awful

 

[Gray]

Fuck!

So nothing changed. We completely mauled them which for us is something. But we couldn't once more get the ball in the net.

Honestly don't know if that's the end of Lampard, before the transfer window opens.

Unreal

Spurs aren't much better tbh. Or rather we are, but only after half time which is perhaps even more fucking annoying because we're always already behind and trying to get back into games.

 

[Embattle]

Saints are fucking awful

Hopefully they go down this year, they've spent far too many seasons circling the drain.

1 year in the last 5 we've had any worry of relegation. Looking awful this year tho.

Looks like Liverpool have gazumped United for Gakpo, PSV saying it's done. They're so incredibly ruthless when they set their mind on a player. It only broke that they were interested this morning.

 

[caLLous]

I say gazumped, there was no real gazumping... United just sat there telling everybody they were going to buy the player for the last 2 months and did fuck all about it.

 

[Aoami]

He was close to signing for us in the summer but Van Gaal told him to stay at PSV ffs

 

[Raven]

I'm sure he will do well at Liverpool, but he is fitting a hole they don't really have. They really need to replace Sane.

Mane*

Chelsea still seem to have rather too many injuries, only James back at the moment with Chilwell, Loftus, Kante and Fofana still out.

Balls:

Potter uncertain over extent of Reece James’s injury after Chelsea return

Reece James suffered what appeared to be a recurrence of the knee injury that ruled him out of England’s World Cup campaign

[caLLous]

Good, hopefully we'll hear less about him from now on.

 

[Scouse]

It's a pretty ignominious end for a man who, even though I really didn't like him, was a really astonishing footballer.

 

[Scouse]

Actually, take that back. There's nothing ignominious getting 177 million for a year.

Fuck the cunt!

 

[Embattle]

I detest some of the top football players around now, they seem like a bunch of fatheads especially compared to the earlier generations.

 

[caLLous]

Well, I certainly didn't have Arsenal walking the league on my bingo card at the start of the season.
