The Footie Thread

Kane would be the best for Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and City. At his peak, proven, great in the air, superb finisher, all round game and a total professional. No ego or arrogance, just a pure footballer. All four are lacking the player of his type too.

Cost and resale value Haaland would shade it though. Whoever signs Kane on a 4 year deal would have to write off at least 2/3 of his transfer fee.

That should be red for Jesus what a horrible little p...k

What's he done? I'm watching the Chelsea v Leicester game.

Really petty studs in the knee of llalana.
Fortunately he’s crap and missed him mostly.
They really don’t like getting beaten.

He will have to sell an oil well to buy all three!

?? I hope all the electric cars need oil or else City will be back in Div 2 in 2050

City need a striker.
Kane needs some medals.
Can’t see him going anywhere else, as long as Pep wants him.

The cars don’t but all the power stations will.
So think your safe for a bit.

We’ve dodged around five bullets in the first half including a stonewall penalty. Can we nick a win in the second?

Thank goodness for that.

Maybe not

Seriously how wrong can you get? Cavani about 4 yards offside from the original pass, Bruno didn't touch it, VAR review and still get it wrong. What is the point......


Great to see Lee Mason retiring, disgraceful unfit joke of a ref. The bad news is he'll be manning VAR and stuffing pies down his gob at Stockley Park.

If you want to know watch the Chelsea Leicester game; first half, absolute stonewall penalty to Chelsea, free kick given to Leicester; second half, player running out of the area, barely touched, penalty to Chelsea. It is an absolute farce.

Well that’s a result that makes the CL spaces on an edge now

Chelsea go into 3rd on 67

If Liverpool win tomorrow they go into 4th on GD

So the final day could be very interesting

Liverpool have Burnley and Palace
Chelsea have Villa
Leicester have Spurs

Could go anyway

and Mike Dean is a shocking ref - zero control of the match and some baffling decisions , he masks his poor ability with some “crazy antics”

 

[clubchamp98]

Thank goodness for that.

That’s just really nasty though.

Haaland,

























Mbappe and Kane ........................................ in that order.

Fixed that. Haaland is a different class to the other two.

Pep will break the bank for him. He hates pure strikers and Kane is the best all round striker there is. City will be untouchable with Kane upfront.

I didn't see it but doesn't surprise me. Refs have an excuse for getting in wrong in the moment, VAR has no excuse.

I think Leicester will do a job on Spurs with Mason in charge. He'll be too scared to drop Bale or Alli and Spurs will play a front 4/5 and get done.

Somebody please explain how this wasn't given?

 

[clubchamp98]

Just seen the City red card.
That’s a farce Wellbeck initiated it and I don’t even think it’s a foul.
50/50 at best.
Refs not had a good night.

Dear lord that is an absolute shocker. How can you not go to VAR for that. How did the person looking at the screen not tell the ref to go to the pitch side monitor.

We had one few months ago like that (altho that was far worse)

For me the issue yes is poor ref and var but also changing the interpretation mid season

At the start all of them were given and then they started not because they were given new advise

Same with hand ball ..they almost brought back ball to hand if it was in a natural position ...which whilst the correct decision how on earth can it be done mid season? You will watch a game see a hand ball not get a pen but 4 months ago would have
