The Footie Thread

[HomecountiesJohn]

Considering what you just posted is completely argumentative it doesn't really hold water?

Feel free to report to @PhilTheFragger because nothing of what I said broke the rules. Just my opinion

Your entitled to yours. I'm entitled to mine

Considering the Mickeys won the champ league in 2019 and you joined in 2020 we didn't unless your previously banned.

What has my "joining date" have anything to do with it?

I have already stated i was a long long time lurker. I go as far back as Mandadra/Jonn findlay/medwayjon etc posting. Those types added fun and facts to the forum. You on the other hand post nothing but inane bs about what you have and dont have.

No you have let the cat out the bag now..clearly previously banned

How did we have a chat about it when Liverpool won the champs league if you weren't a member of the forum.

I can hear your back peddling from here

 

[HomecountiesJohn]

Anyway, in other news (as there’s actually quite a big game of football currently being played), I wonder how much more patronising the BT Sport commentary team can possibly be when referring to Inter. Squeaky Steve McManaman in particular.

It should be scrapped from the record books, Inter never won Serie A last season according to some

Long time lerkers cant have chats with people when their not members about a subject when it happens as you said

Save your excuses for the mods

Big impact losing De Brunye

Foden is a great replacement, however not the same. But I bet they are glad it's not haaland ..

Inter still looking like they taking zero prisoners

 

[Swango1980]

Inter looking tenacious.

Perhaps City can get a bit of magic out of Foden

TBH I would rather loose Haaland than De Bruyne. KDB does so much more, and Foden, for as good as he is, just isn't in the same class.

I doubt Halaand will score tonight, Inter have him pinned every ball in.

Yes KDB best in the world for me.
Big loss.

To be fair inter have everyone pinned ATM

Impressed city have managed to keep some of their passing going under this amount of pressure

 

[Billysboots]

Not a great spectacle. I think I can recall one shot on target so far. Let’s hope this doesn’t fizzle out as a turgid 0-0 followed by the lottery of penalties.

The ECWC is basicaly the Conference league.

Lol, don’t be daft, the ECWC (and the old European Cup) were much harder to win than the current iterations.

Was it ?

Don’t they play nearly double amount of games now to be able to win a European trophy

 

[Deleted member 21784]

Ederson proving again to be a top keeper

Hasn't had to do much but pulls off the important save

Game desperately needs a goal

My reasoning is simple, to win the EC you had to be Champions of your country to qualify. If you lost one tie you was out. Now it’s as low as 6th in your own league and you can lose a few ties but still be “Champions”
Far more kudos in your European Cup wins than your Champions league wins…
Same with the ECWC, you had to actually win a trophy to qualify, not easy.

 

[Deleted member 21784]

What a vital goal

Rodri does pop up with them

Great move

But look at the teams you now have to play to win the CL

When we won in 2019

Group Stage - Napoli , PSG and Red Star Belgrade

Then KO - Bayern Munich , Porto , and Barcelona then Spurs


To win it in 1984 - Odense , Bilbao , Benfica , Bucharest and Roma


6 more games to play to win the current CL and the level of the teams you face now is far stronger than back in the day

John Stones has been superb tonight.

Yes but under the old format you wouldn’t have been good enough to qualify for the competition and you would have been knocked out by PSG on away goals. It’s just easier now. It gives you too many chances…
