The Footie Thread

[ColchesterFC]

With apologies to fans of Everton, Leeds and Forest but....... come on Leicester.

That’s what I can’t understand why you think Arsenal are the best team by a country mile when City have a far better squad and better quality, also City have only lost 4 times this season.

For all your doubts about City this season the majority of fans/ pundits would think City are the best team in England I would imagine

Can’t complete with City oil money .
Have read who’s spent the most money in the last 5 seasons. City have one one the best managers ever and the club as whole is run brilliantly. Perhaps you should look at why some of these clubs on the list have under achieved.

Premier League net spend table over the last five years

Forget the league table, it's all about the Premier League net spend table. And Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal and Tottenham are ahead of the other 16.

I’ll just leave it to Phil to answer he’s putting it out there better than me

Diaz

 

[Billysboots]

That ball from Madison was sublime.

 

[Neilds]

Now that TAA is playing in midfield, anyone else think that Liverpool are missing some width on the right? When they go forward, there is plenty of space just begging for someone to go on a run down the wing but no one is making the run

I’m well aware of all that, Phil.

But does Kane drop deep because those around him do not have the ability to get on the ball and create? Or does he do it because that’s just the sort of player he is and it’s simply in his DNA? Don’t forget he does exactly the same in an England shirt despite the national side having the likes of Bellingham and Foden pulling the creative strings.

I'm guessing ten Hag would like a striker who can drop deep and get involved in build up play as well.

If he was looking for a striker who would just stay up front and put ball in the net, he may well have been happy to keep and play with Ronaldo this season, and look for another fox in the box for next season?

Of course, you definitely make a very good point about the price tag. If Kane was to express his desire to leave, would Levy ask for crazy money.

 

[Rlburnside]

Hold on so if cities titles all tainted ..Chelsea's must be for dodgy russian money and Liverpool's Astrix season

That means Leicester were the last time to win the league with integrity

Oh I don’t know about that Leicesters owners are /were very well liked but the millions living in poverty in their homeland probably would have liked the money spent on the club used in their own country

And ultimately it’s the price tag which I have the biggest issue with.

Kane is a wonderful footballer. I’d be mad not to want him at United. And I’ve never said I wouldn’t want him there.

But we all know what will happen. United are in desperate need of a striker, and they’ll be trying to do business with one of the most pig headed chairmen ever to grace the Premier League. The ONLY thing going in United’s favour will be Kane’s contract situation. But such is the degree of obstinacy likely to be shown by Levy it would not surprise me in the least if he opted to allow Kane to run down his contract rather than let him leave for less than £100m.

And for that price, I’m sorry. I’d rather look elsewhere than a 30 year old. Regardless of how good he is.

Not overly impressed with Faes

Not to mention the rules theybl flouted in the championship too.

Very nice goal - great ball from Mo

Looking at the Leicester line up the one player missing from last season is GK. Looks like he is big miss

Second looks offside though - which is a shame , lovely finish Though


Happy to see Leicester go down now after hearing the disgusting chants again

 

[Jimaroid]

That’ll do reds, that’ll do.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Leicester have that very fragile look about them. They look fine but once a goal goes in they look so open and vulnerable.

If all the teams with disgusting chants were relegated, who'd be left?

You beat me to it.

 

[ColchesterFC]

In other news - tonight’s VAR audio will be broadcast, that should be interesting

This was my understanding but we didn't get to hear the communication between them while they checked the two goals.

 

[Billysboots]

I think they may be allowed to broadcast it after the game. Didn’t Howard Webb say that rules prevent it from being broadcast during the game, or did I misunderstand him?

Replaced by teams that are promoted up when the teams get relegated

I’m sure that’s what they said didn’t happen- maybe it’s not the offside ones

Just Liverpool,the model club that all should aspire to be like

Surely you know by now, that teams who play in red from the miserable side of the Pennines are model clubs with model fans who never put a foot wrong.
