The Footie Thread

Seems it's not just footballers that are a bit thick. The managers are as well. Guardiola and Ancelloti just greeted each other with a clenched fist bump rather than a hand shake, presumably because of Covid guidelines. However, they then proceeded to hug each and touch each others' faces.

So....this fist bump thing that I'm seeing a lot of....
Covid doesn't sit on the outside of the hand then..

I think it's more that you touch more stuff with the palm of you hand than the back of your hand. The palm would therefore have a greater chance of having the virus on it than the back so by shaking hands palm to palm there's more chance of transfer.

When city win the league, will it be because they’re the best team or because it’s a weak league?

Are you still not over the season you finished fourth but didn’t qualify for the Champions League? ?

I think you’re a bit mixed up Dave, finished 4th in 2005, qualified for the CL and got knocked out in the qualifying stages.

Back in the 70’s we missed out on european football due to the one club per city rule, but I don’t think you’re old enough to remember that.

I’m not mixed up at all. Qualifying stages dont count ?


I never knew that 70’s rule tho. In fact, I just had a look, we where both in the uefa cup 75/76?

And in 78/79 we were in the European cup an yous in the UEFA...

There was a rule early 70’s in regards the UEFA Cup and only one club per city could be in that - Arsenal missed out one year because Spurs were in - was gone by mid 70’s as both Everton and Liverpool played one year

It was prob a left over from the Inter City Fairs Cup thing

Has Pickford borrowed Lloris's lettuce wrists? ?

I’ve just read, the last time Newcastle won a trophy, it was the fairs cup. They qualified by finishing 10th the season before ?

So much respect to Pep. He really looked like he was finished at City with boring and predictable football a few momnths ago.

Dropped a striker who wasn't scoring, played 6 midfielders and went back to controlling games. Looked like one step back but it was actually a step forward. Jesus was costing City results with his lack of all round game and woeful finishing. The midfielders delivered the goods and City have gone from a really boring side to watch earlier in the season to total dominiation. You could argue Pep caused the issue in the first place but it's the sign of a great manager to learn from his mistakes and put it right.

Meanwhile on another planet Ole is playing 2 DM's against West Brom. Utd will be sponsored by Arriva next year they've parked that many buses

Beaten by a quality side, Bernado Silva is simply outstanding.

Can we have an asterisk on our shirts like Liverpool ?

That aside I thought it was a close game at 2-1. I would be disappointed with Pickford not keeping out the 3rd which should of kept Everton in it.

It was when it was called the inter-city fairs cup and there was a one city one club rule.

Nothing to do with trains, mate.

Domestically it was the 5o's with Wor jackie.

Me and my mate were bored in work one day and we went through off the top of our heads how many clubs had won a domestic one since the late 50's and I think we got to about 30 odd!!!
Div 1 / FA cup and league cup only.

Ave got to say that is Bernados best game this season, it just has not clicked for him this season. Re Mahrez, that was his best game in a City shirt.
Thank god that banana skin is gone.

If only Everton tackled like that in derby games.
