The Footie Thread

[Arthur Wedge]

That's a bit soft from Shaw....you expect that sort of fall from folk that we in the 70's would have called "continentals".

Got a touch of the Gabriel’s

I was going to post Dalit is one of the most average players I’ve ever seen! Then I saw him take another touch and realise he’s not even good enough to be average. How is he stealing a wage at a premier league club.

He's a good hugger though.

There is at least more intent this half.

 

[Slime]

Now that is counter attacking at it's absolute finest!

It's what £210m gets you . Very slick.

Barry is an idiot. Does he not realise that GKs have to release the ball within a certain time, but not when a striker impedes them?

I remember watching the WWE Royal Rumble when I was a kid. That is what it is like watching corners now

 

[Swango1980]

These corners are an absolute joke

 

[Billysboots]

Am I imagining things, or has Yoro just been booked for being bundled into his own net?

I know...you'd think attacking teams would have a bit more variation and imagination....stick the ball away from the keeper...give your players a bit of space to operate in and attack the ball, if the keeper wants to come out of his comfort zone to try to claim the ball who knows what might happen and where the ball might fall. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result...madness.

Think it was Maguire

 

[Billysboots]

That is a really, really good win.

Senne Lammens absolutely immense.

 

[Slime]

I don't know why, but that victory just feels huge.
Oh, and what a difference when a defence feels secure with a reliable 'keeper behind them.
I think he's United's best signing since Bruno.

 

[nickjdavis]

My kitchen still needs plastering.

 

[Swango1980]

That was a hell of a game. And I really should emphasise the word HELL.

But great result. Maguire a rock yet again, but Lammens was excellent. Good night to put in such a display with Van der Sar in the studio

Sorry, my lift never arrived.

@Slime - did you get lost in the one way system?

 

[clubchamp98]

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say this might not be one for the neutral

Yes I went to Silent Witness at 9pm.

 

[nickjdavis]

Yes I went to Silent Witness at 9pm.

Must admit...I've only seen 10 minutes of it and its had more drama than the 90 odd minutes of the football.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Very frustrating. Toothless upfront, the corner obsession was infuriating. Slick smash and grab goal that we couldn't replicate.

Two full backs, two strikers, one main, one back up, required in the summer.
