The Footie Thread

Palace can consider themselves very unlucky to be behind. Completely nullified the Arsenal attack.

Completely… except the one that resulted in a goal

That’s why you need to hold onto your best players. Half chance at best.

I know Forest aren’t great at the minute but Iraola’s Bournemouth are absolutely relentless. Genuinely think they could be up there most the season.

Still, their first goal should never have happened because they had two corners which were not corners in anyway shape or form

I reckon @Bazz has shouted to the manager, 'hey, an absolute lemon on a golf forum has just said how shocking you are' and that was the inspiration needed .

No need to thank me @Bazz

They are this season's Forest. Good to see different teams up there.

Said it before but what is the difference between a long throw into the box and a corner kick into the box? Do one and you are a rubbish team with no skill but do the other you are a set piece genius. Snobbery at it’s best

I think if you can throw a ball as far as the Brentford lad it’s better than a corner.

It’s a better angle to attack from, that’s why they take short corners to change the angle.
It’s a great weapon that Liverpool use when Gomez is playing.

I’d argue that’s Sunderland, currently.

Bournemouth play possession-based football and they’re really, really good.

Unlike this ref, who is absolutely abysmal

I can't see Sunderland keeping this up. I think Bournemouth can stay top 6, they have better quality throughout.

They said this about Forest last season to be fair

And Leicester City a few years ago

It wasn't your first season up though. You were able to build some depth into your squad. Sunderland don't have that depth yet, which starts to impact around Christmas time usually.

Sunderland have also bought a number of players that will disappear to the African Cup of Nations come January. That will hit them.

Watching footy on multi view.

Burnley score right at the end. Then after play restarts, Burnley's keeper makes one of the saves of the season to maintain their lead

Another tasty day in the prem league.

Wash your mouth out!

You shouldn't be in any trouble. I'm not convinced the season will finish with you in second though .

Bet you would take mid table right now if you could lock it in.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Fuming . I'm starting to get paranoid now.

 

[Swango1980]

Really stupid of the Everton player to run at the goalkeeper like that. He was inevitably going to be in an offside position if any of his team mates managed to get a header at goal

 

[JonnyGutteridge]

Sunderland were very good yesterday. Frankly we found them to be a bit of a handful for most of the game. I see no reason they wouldn’t keep this up.

In Everton/spurs match - i agree with that offside decision. The guy on the goal line is absolutely interfering with play.

Absolutely right. Footballers are dopey.

Correct decision, but an odd, convoluted process.

No, you were right.

One day I'll just be dust and none of this will matter. Can't wait.
