The Mighty Football Thread
Soccer = Football we never use "soccer"
your game = American "Football" In your teams of 86 plus players theres just 1 or 2 kickers right? sorry, off to the real football thread |
this post is just to make the idiot above disappear a little
|
It was a massacre by Liverpool. They're looking the most complete team in the title race. Spurs always self-destruct eventually and MC are looking
unpredictable again. I'm surprised how reliant on Fernando MC seem. Pep will need him fit today and definitely for Thursday night, (8pm GMT) MC v Liv. Could end up being the defining game of the whole season. |

Let's chalk today and yesterday as bad days in the office for Everton and West Ham
|
looks like pogba wants to play for this solksjaer dude im barely catching up about...
— yep. he does... |
@h8kurdt - Yeah, didn't see it but sounds like WH never really showed up. I went into it pretty confident for some stupid reason.

This obviously reflects badly on Jose but also on those players (like Pogba) who it's probably now fair to say weren't exactly giving their all under him - even if Jose brought most of that on himself. |

im saying this both from recent personal experience (lol) and with the fictional reminder of just having rewatched lieutenant marimow destroy the major case unit in “the wire” ha ha ha. not sure what was what on this man u story or who the guilty party was but yeah... a shit boss will kill all. they will rent space in your head, cramp your style, rob you of your joy, and destroy your best intentions. it’s human psychology |
As you say, who knows what the real story is? Although it looks to me from the various post-mortems in the press that it was a case of some mercenary players in conflict with a difficult-to-deal-with manager who'd fallen out with an incompetent board, in particular Ed Woodward. I believe Woodward has been the real architect of MU's post-Fergie decline - and long may he continue.

aaahhhhhhh
just read about the guy physicist turned chartered accountant? o man. that’s the original failure right there... scientist turned bean counter running a major sports club. ha ha so wrong well never cared for man u either way so... happy to see kloppo lead the charts lol |
Didn't watch the game today but looks like another bad day at the office for Everton.
Have a special interest in them right now as I brought Pickford and Richarlison into my FF team, thinking I'd capitalise on what looked like a nice run of fixtures. The best laid plans ..., etc. |
i missed it all on purpose
i knew arsenault was playing but last time they bored me where did auba go? anyway hm also needed to clear the slate a bit so that i have time for tomorrow's wolves and THURSDAYS CLASH OF THE TITANS ps my prediction is wolves actually lose tomorrow. they're an on/off/on/off kinda outfit |

Like West Ham, putting your money on them is always a bad idea. Went to the game yesterday and it's kind of not surprising that this is the worst home run in years. The crowd is just depressing as fuck. Too quick to shout an Everton player down, any chants seem to have gone out the window. I suspect the players are nervous about it. When they play away it's not as bad HOWEVER! that's not to take away from how shocking some of the players are. Walcott would run into a dead end in the middle of the desert nevermind on a pitch. Got to admit that DCL just isn't cut for the job of striker which is a shame. Zouma and Gueye are the only two players who came out with any respect. Sacking Silva now would just be daft. We had a great run and that Liverpool derby just took the steam out of us. And badly. Silva needs to be given time and a couple of transfer windows. In the mean time the players need to shake themselves after a bad December run and get back their mojo. I'm praying Everton will sign a couple of new players in this window. Specifically a right winger and a striker for now. Won't happen, mind. |
I heard they were booed off. Shame DCL isn't working out and Tosun's hardly a realistic alternative. Richarlison up front is probably your best attacking option but even he's hardly ideal. Are you still linked with a move for Giroud?
Not looking forward to West Ham v Brighton tonight, given how they sucker-punched us last time we met. If Hughton wasn't such a likeable bloke, his brand of football would be lumped in with the likes of Allaradyce's or Pulis's and come in for the same kind of criticism. |
Quote:
Yeah they were which I'm not a fan of tbh. As for Giroud that was on and pretty much a done deal last season, to the point where he was at Finch farm to sign. Then his wife said she didn't want to move north so he pulled out. That was annoying. |
HOLY FUCK MAN CITY V. LIVERPOOL TODAY
i need alarms to alarm me. many alarms. |
I've now reached zen levels of acceptance that Liverpool will win the league. I'm going to watch the game for a bloody good game of football, old chap.

that's a good zensunni here's to a great show and no disappointments on the footballing front prediction: they will both neutralize each other and "suck" on the surface, i.e., it will be a mighty tactical battle with thin margins i'm not attached to this prediction nor betting money btw could very well end up 5-1 ha ha ha ha i know nothing |
In a tournament that not many of you will care about (except for the players it's stolen from your leagues for a month), the Asian Cup starts in a few days.
Australia's the defending champions, but we've got a bunch of outs that could interfere (Aaron Mooy with a knee, Matthew Leckie and a hamstring.) Should be good stuff though. |
