The Footie Thread

[Golfmmad]

with all the play acting that goes on within football, the number of times something is done properly is very rare. Even Zidane heatbutted the guy in the chest.

Has anyone ever landed a proper punch or headbutt in the premier league era? I can’t think of any.

I can think of one, the best ever.
Not in this era but still relatable.
The old first division pre the Premier League.
I give you:
Francis Lee (Man City) v Norman Hunter (Leeds United) now that was a proper fight, a classy boxing exhibition from Lee.
Lots on here too young but I'm sure it can be found on YouTube. ?

The Goodison legend that is Funky Dunky…?

Wasn’t that when he played in Scotland though ?

He was as good as gold when he crossed the border, an angel at both Newcastle and Everton .

Angel and Ferguson are you sure??

Ask stefan Freund (sp) for a reference ?

Yeah, but it was Stefan Freund so that doesn't count

Never realised you were in the grammar police?

No, I meant he was an irritating piece of work and throttling him doesn't count. No grammar police at work here

I'll give you a funny one, to make up for it. Chelsea might pay Everton £50m for Anthony Gordon

Did Lee take a dive ?
He normally did , only the front of his kit ever got dirty.
Two good footballers though.

Can you imagine Hunters reaction to Anderson’s collapse.

Rumour about Ronaldo going to Chelsea, You would think he would play well / score goals in the way Chelsea set up.
Not forgetting, playing with better players

Yes I think he would do well there.
Just be careful when he shakes Tuchels hand.

You'll never guess where our next new signing is from.

Denmark, Sweden, Iceland?

Iceland, definitely Iceland ?

Are you contractually obliged to only buy from this one country, Iceland? It does seem a little obsessive.

Is that the one who told Moyes he was turning down west ham to wait for a bigger club

I guess the Portugal national team is massive ?

The more the better, easier to integrate into the club and he knows a lot of them from the Portguese national squad. Should fit straight in.

We'd agreed with him to give him until August 15th to wait for a Champions league club, none came, so he's joined the portguese outpost in Wolverhampton. Easier move for him.

The bigger clubs will see how he is after one season and then probably make their move. Win win for us.

Very good point, also I guess for us who wants to come into a team were you won't become a first teamer guaranteed ..

I think it's why we haven't got in a established cm because they see rice and soucek knowing their first choice if fit

Our new Germain CB can play either full backs, CB or cdm so I can see him being our John oshea lol
