Football The 2017/2018 Season Thread

I guess we'll have to stop calling Wanyama "Big dick Vic" as well, then. Although Spurs fans were asked to stop with the yid songs and it only made them more popular.

 

[caLLous]

The lack of coverage of matches tonight is shocking.

 

[Raven]

You know nobody gives a shit about a competition when it's main sponsor is Thailand's second most popular energy drink.

 

[caLLous]

Sounds like a hell of a finish in the Burnley vs. Leeds match.

 

[Scouse]

Wow we're shit aren't we?

 

[Himse]

Wow we're shit aren't we?

The curse of the Ox.

 

[Raven]

It's what happens when you have a shit defensive set-up, and don't change anything.

 

[caLLous]

 

[Billargh]

£35m

 

[Hawkwind]

Would have been an even better deal if it was Walcott, for Arsenal

 

[Raven]

Liverpool never wank silly money over mediocre player, ever!

 

[Scouse]

£35m

Yeah. I literally have no idea why we signed him.

Rest of our summer activity was good - Salah, Keita (based on his current performances, shame he's not actually here) etc.

I guess Klopp thinks our Defenders are shit but better them than swapping them out for more shit. Midfield doesn't get fixed until the summer.

We'll see what happens in Jan :/

 

[caLLous]

I think he was really banking on you getting Van Dijk, who would've made your defence significantly less hilarious.

Yeah. But it still needs a decent midfielder - hendo, can and wijnaldum are good but they need someone better alongside 'em.

Shame Clyne is injured - it's hard for Alexander Arnold at the mo as he's only a kid.

I think you need clever players to implement zonal marking too - and when it pays off it's great - but ours don't seem to fit that bill...

England manager Mark Sampson sacked after unprofessional relationship with players

Well this is a new rule to me and Im going to stand down as Englands Subbeteo coach.

 

[Raven]

Yes, it is a little awkward when you have been caught with your pants down training 16-19 year olds.

Shame but he shouldn't shit on his own doorstep.

All seems a bit fishy that this should come up when he was being dragged over the coals for completely different reasons. So he's racist, bullying and banging players (allegedly)? Busy fellow.

 

[Raven]

In reality he is probably none of the above but when looking at someone funny becomes OFFENSIVE they probably didn't have any choice.

As far as I know, he cracked a couple of jokes, months/years ago that were acceptable at the time, but suddenly someone or other was offended by them, after they got dropped from the team for being not very good. Now they are having him over banging someone, nobody is really sure who or when, despite being found not guilty some time ago.

The world is going mad.

Diego Costa: Chelsea agree terms with Atletico Madrid to sell striker - Well if the reported 50m+ we are getting for him is true that is some good business considering we paid 32m for him 3 years ago.

 

[Gwadien]

It's that time of the year again, Leicester fans are posting matches from 3 years ago, that time they beat United 5-3.

Amazing bit of business. I think Chelsea would have taken 30-35, quite happily.

Should have shown Liverpool a wink though, they would have paid 60. Would have suited Atletico too, they could have picked him up for 25 next season.

 

[SilverHood]

It was known before he was even hired. Talk about being balls deep in controversy!

 

[CorNokZ]

Must say that I am enjoying watching United play again, but I will never enjoy Fellaini in any way.

 

[Himse]

Morata is great.

 

[CorNokZ]

Got a ticket to today's match. No one could go. Thought I'd watch it at home. I don't have the station. We're up 2-0 after half an hour. Fucking dick!

Hehe

 

[caLLous]

Well, that is a surprise.

 

[Hawkwind]

Enjoyed watching the Leicester game, good battle that. Leicester should have come away with a point. Vardy should have realised you can't take the same pen 4 x in a row and keepers not get wise to it.

 

[Scouse]

One down against Spartak. Their first shot. A free kick. How predictable.

 

[caLLous]

Mendy's injury is looking more and more serious as time goes by. Pep's already talking about replacements in January.
