The Footie Thread

I agree, but the stupid thing is that is not what I would want as a visitor. I once got taken to Upton Park through work. We meet in the pie and mash shop, had a few pints in the local pub, watched the game and afterwards had a curry round the corner from the ground. A proper day out.

What a fabulous yet intimidating little ground that was. Absolutely loved my few visits there

Yeah...a night match at Upton Park was always a good atmosphere.

Goodison was very similar. Everton’s travelling supporters always made a lot of noise too.

I was "lucky" enough to go to the Charity Shield last august, in very swanky hospitality. a friend who knew someone who knew someone. The 4 course sit down meal was excellent, but "a day out at the football" it was not!

Those days are dying and my god I'm going to miss them.

Oh wow.....City being dismantled in Norway!!

All over the place defensively and simple balls over the top are causing them all sorts of issues. Donnaruma doing a star jump to jump out of the way of a header didnt help matters.

All that optimism after beating City at weekend is starting to fade, now that I'm watching them get battered by another team.

Not the first time either. My optimism faded not long after we beat Liverpool this season for same reason.

And that was purgatory, no balls played in behind. Attack painfully slow, defence shocking not being protected by midfield and Foden slowly turning into Grealish.

Foden might be hoping for a stellar end to season, as he could quickly lose his plane ticket to North America

jeez Glimt could, should?, be 5-0 up by now.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Getting mullered

 

[nickjdavis]

Pep for the chop?

 

[Swango1980]

Question: what are the chances that it only the Top 4 PL teams get into next seasons Champions League, rather than Top 5?

They were softened up at the weekend.

He should not be going. It is painful to watch him Going backwards

It’s not yet finished

at the moment reasonably good that 5 will qualify

Will the Premier League have five Champions League places again?

With the top three in the Premier League pulling away, could fifth be enough for Champions League football again?

Except for those of us sat with the home supporters.

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

Well, well! Is Pep now on dodgy ground as City look absolutely toothless at the moment.

Handing Bodo their first ever champions league victory and in such easy fashion.

 

[IanM]

Pep heading to Spurs??

Yeah but you’re an honorary Mackem
