Bethnal Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Tom Lockyer should retire a premier league player, sad as it is that the choice is being taken from him. They often say football is a family and I’m sure he’ll find work in the game, having built up a lot of goodwill. Life is longer than a playing career. Onto the game currently in-play: Burnley are coming back down next season and I have a feeling that Kompany’s number could be up. I suspect the promotion push might be a shade more difficult, second time around. People go on about Leo, but could you imagine the outrage on here if we’d spent £19m (and the rest) on James Trafford? Long-time head-scratcher of mine: they - famously - call us “The Bastards” which is all well and good, but clearly a response to their nickname of “The Dingles.” I don’t get it. “Hahaha, you’re all probably born out of wedlock” isn’t much of a response to the initial, “haha, you’re all quite dense, owing to the disproportionately high instance of breeding within your own gene pool!” Edited December 16, 2023 by Bethnal 3 Quote
RoverDom Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 I can understand coming back once - just - but a second come back would be pure stupidity and you'd not put your friends and family through it. That's assuming he's even allowed back. 2 Quote

philipl Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) City brushed aside Fluminese in the World Club Cup Final easier than they defeated Burnley and in Haaland, De Bruyne and Doku were arguably without their three most effective and dangerous players. Makes me wonder what standard the European "Super" League would be if it ever happened. Edited December 23, 2023 by philipl Quote

chaddyrovers Posted December 24, 2023 Author Posted December 24, 2023 Ridiculous decision by the ref in Forest vs Bournemouth to send off Boly for a perfect good tackle. Utter bizarre. VAR couldn't reserve the decision cos it was only yellow card and Boly's second one 1 Quote

AllRoverAsia Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 Sterling still is, as he always has been, a diver. Mind yo so are most of his team mates. Their other strength is fouling constantly on corner kicks, as always unpunished for stuff they would get a yellow card elsewhere on the pitch I know they all do it, it's just so noticeable in this game at Wolves.

Makes me wonder what standard the European "Super" League would be if it ever happened. Fluminese have an expected revenue this year of $74 million, apparently, which puts them well below Burnley financially! City spend over $500 million annually on wages.

Ianrally Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Watching Brighton v Spuds, just goes to show what a well run club Brighton are, from obscurity to challenging the best of the Prem, who does that remind us of? 1 Quote

Since when have spurs ever been "the best of the prem"? Fourth best at the absolute maximum. But yes, all it would take here is some organisation and people who give a fuck and we'd be back to our 'natural level' Quote

chaddyrovers Posted December 28, 2023 Author Posted December 28, 2023 the Brighton vs Spurs has been a good game of attacking football. Could have been 8-8 tonight Quote

Yeah I wasn't having a go, I got what you meant. Just reiterating that spurs are a shitty nothing club with shit fans that have never ever in my lifetime been anywhere near the very top of English football. 1 Quote

AllRoverAsia Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Spurs just scored as a result of Bournemouth's crap attempt at playing out from the back. Hardly a game goes by at all levels without such blunders causing goals or at least good chances. When will coaches wake up. In a stats driven football world does anyone keep a track on this.

Mattyblue Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) I was listening to Radio 5 the other day and I can’t remember the pundit but he was pretty much saying that a lot of managers know it’s nonsense but they are petrified of being labelled a dinosaur and not getting another job. The game has collectively lost the plot on the back of Pep playing a certain way, but with world class players. Edited December 31, 2023 by Mattyblue 2 Quote
