Decided to give back to the community and make a weekend footy thread for once, if only to say we're shit. BIG DAVE OUT!!!

[Shindig]

'Whoopee'. :moop:

[igor_balis]

Good save that, though.

[Giggles]

In at Bohs and they're walloping Cork 4-1. Serious young team for part timers.


Also, Damien Delaney :D

[Bam]

Could you just talk English and not part time paddy please, thank you.

[bruhnaldo]

He's going to the Bohemian match and they're going to win. While they're a team made of part-time footballers, they're pretty good.

[Bam]

He's going to the Bohemian match and they're going to win. While they're a team made of part-time footballers, they're pretty good.

Then a yank turns up being all Irish. :rolleyes:

[bruhnaldo]

:)

[bruhnaldo]

I could be well off, mind you.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Then a yank turns up being all Irish. :rolleyes:

He did once go to Boston...

[Bam]

Have a yard of the black stuff and forget about it.

[Giggles]

Could you just talk English and not part time paddy please, thank you.

Apologies.

Let's ave a facking ramboo daaaaahn the oi street, facking fwaooo naah innit.

Indeed.

[Boydy]

None of that post of Giggles' is even remotely Irish slang.

[Bam]

Well his last one was.

[Giggles]

None of that post of Giggles' is even remotely Irish slang.

But it's facking baaaaam you facking slaaaag.

[Bam]

But it's facking baaaaam you facking slaaaag.

You ok hun?

[Giggles]

You ok hun?

I would be if all you Ray Winstone wannabe London hard men were euthanased at birth.

[Bam]

I would be if all you Ray Winstone wannabe London hard men were euthanased at birth.

:D

You're a funny cunt. Have a potato.

[Lewis]

Let's get back on topic or I'm closing this thread. Thank you.

[igor_balis]

I don't really know this Bam bloke, does he have special needs?

[Bam]

Also, nice edit Giggs.

[Bam]

I don't really know this Bam bloke, does he have special needs?


Yes. :(

[Lewis]

Thread closed.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I don't really know this Bam bloke, does he have special needs?

PM him to find out.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Thread closed.

Fuck THE SYSTEM and fuck THE MAN.

You corporate whore.

[Lewis]

Thread. Closed.

[Giggles]

:D

You're a funny cunt. Have a potato.

Only if you chip them.

Maybe stick a few jalapenos and a lob of cheese on top.

EDIT: Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag

[bruhnaldo]

He did once go to Boston...

Don't disrespect me like this I would never go to such a disgusting place.

[mugbull]

Boston is alright, certainly better than any place in flahrida

[Giggles]

Texas ftw.

[Pepe]

Boston is probably one of the best US cities (not saying much.)

[Pleb]

You mean New York Jets right?

Football started last week for fuck sake.

[Baz]

Liverpool six; Spurs nil.

[mugbull]

We're in prime form for a drubbing, but I have to go predict a 3-0 for Spurs

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Don't disrespect me like this I would never go to such a disgusting place.

Yeah but you get to claim that you're Oirish even if you just pass through Boston.

[John Arne]

Fulham 45/1 with some bookies today. Seems rather large.

[Waffdon]

Spurs’ midfield three is tragic.

[Waffdon]

No idea how it’s taken that long. Spurs have tried their best to give them the lead.

[Max Power]

Makes me laugh how players still try and argue the case with goal line technology

[John Arne]

If Vertonghen spent less time trying to foul van Dijk, he probably could have headed that away first time.

[Gray Fox]

We could and should have been in on goal about 5 times, but for over/under hit passes.

[phonics]

Ozil is playing in a match north of Manchester. It's a new era.

[Magic]

Christ this atmosphere. :lol:

[John Arne]

Sturridge is so slow and lethargic.

[Trancemeister]

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Delph, Fernandinho, D. Silva, B. Silva, Sterling, Sane, Aguero.

Fulham XI: Bettinelli, Christie, Odoi, Mawson, Johansen, Seri, McDonald, Schurrle, Mitrovic, Vietto, Sessegnon.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge, Manga, Bamba, Morrison, Bennett, Camarasa, Ralls, Arter, Hoilett, Ward, Reid.

[Waffdon]

Luiz just isn’t very good nor bright, is he?

[Waffdon]

Hazard :drool:

Him and Giroud linking up is orgasmic

[Trancemeister]

Some goal by Zaha.

[Shindig]

Yeah, I think I should sack football completely off, at this rate.

[Lewis]

That United kit is an embarrassment.

[Lewis]

The Watford fans are very well coordinated.

[Ian]

Sounds like a cracking goal from big Mike.

[Lewis]

Imagine if United went on a run and won the league and it was all down to building on Fellaini. Mourinho would probably be turning up at houses waaaaying in faces.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sounds like a cracking goal from big Mike.

1041012396448534533

Class.

I missed the first half unfortunately as I ended up falling asleep at about 4.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

His hair is a fucking disgrace though:

1041008688562089985

[John]

Looks like one of those crap Play-doh toys you had as a kid.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I wouldn't be surprised if we fail to win from here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fellaini with all the elbows :drool:

[Lewis]

'Alexis' was toilet today, to the point where they should play him on the right to deliberately reduce his influence.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Dave :cool:

[randomlegend]

Just watched the highlights.

Smalling's hair, good lord :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I like to think Pogba played him into getting it.

I'll also get it, I promise mate.

[niko_cee]

With that Mané offside/Firmino goal yesterday, I understand why that should be disallowed and am totally in agreement with it, but I thought there was newer more idiotic logic which dictates that you have to touch the ball to interfere with play (short of obstructing view perhaps).

In the World Cup final Pogba came from an offside position and jumped into someone playing the ball which apparently wasn't enough to be adjudged interfering. And that was with VAR.

lol at the penalty at the end. Burnt those jokers last year lads.

[John]

The picture of Firmino getting a finger in the eye is deeply unpleasant.

[niko_cee]

It was probably accidental, but you'd get a decent ban for that in rugger.

[Mike]

His finger is inside his head!

[Waffdon]

Douglas Costa spitting on an opposition players face was a bit grim there. Threw a header on the same player right in front of the referee :D

[Waffdon]

Silva was such a shite appointment from Everton. Destined for mid table. Cracking finish for the second though.

[phonics]

Silva was such a shite appointment from Everton. Destined for mid table. Cracking finish for the second though.

Nah they'll finish 7/8th.

[John]

Midtable then.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Should Everton v West Ham even be played? Just draw 2-1 either way or 2-2 out of a hat and move on.

Good to hear the Seethe in full voice I guess.

[Waffdon]

It’s been a pretty good game, mainly because Marco Silva can’t have any organisation in his team whatsoever. West Ham could get a few more on the break if they wanted to.

[Trancemeister]

Tosun is a having a terrible game. Ofcourse he's in my fantasy team. So fucking sold for the next gameweek.

[Bam]

Should Everton v West Ham even be played? Just draw 2-1 either way or 2-2 out of a hat and move on.


Yes, I suppose someone would have to win or it would be a draw. Shall this be the way to go with all football games? :rolleyes:

[Waffdon]

That Alex Scott in the studio is an absolute delight.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shame she knows nothing about football. Right Bam?

[Giggles]

We're Wolves on the telly? I hear Doherty had a decent game.

[Bam]

Shame she knows nothing about football. Right Bam?

Yeah, anyone can keep saying players have been sloppy or the defence was exploited. No pressure from midfield is one of her favourites.


Fit as a butchers dog though. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:drool:

[Yevrah]

I've never seen a goal scored like that before.

[Pepe]

All Jonathan Dos Santos, that one.

[Shindig]

Can we talk about the bloke in the crowd pointing to the white text on a white shirt?

[SincereTheRebel]

We're Wolves on the telly? I hear Doherty had a decent game.

Doherty has stepped up a level. He was been great since game 1 of the season. He gets himself into scoring opportunities quite often, just needs to be more clincial. Asking that from a Right back is probably too much though.

[SincereTheRebel]

[John]

That's some strike.

[bruhnaldo]

That Alex Scott in the studio is an absolute delight.

She's so fine. We have a friend named Alex Scott whom, once we found out about your female footy version, have decided that he's "Alex Scott 2".

He really doesn't like it, so we then keep demoting him based on our present feelings. For example, the other day he was Alex Scott 5 because he forgot to bring ice to the tailgate or something.

[Lewis]

Was Robot Wars commentating off a text feed there? He would have a seizure if somebody did that in an FA Cup game.

[phonics]

Saw my first 'Spurs aren't in crisis but...' articles today. Not quite the heroin I requested but I'll live on a methadone diet for now.

[Disco]

Yeah, anyone can keep saying players have been sloppy or the defence was exploited. No pressure from midfield is one of her favourites.


Fit as a butchers dog though. :drool:

That phrase doesn't mean what you think it does. Unless this a fairly subtle yet startling admission.

[mugbull]

Lol at the stonewall Son penalty not given. What a result that would have been, I haven't seen us play worse in years and yet we somehow almost got a point from the game. Pool fans would be seething off this earth.

[Waffdon]

Carragher turning into his inner me calling Hazard the best player in the league and at the World Cup. Great lad.

[phonics]

Carragher turning into his inner me calling Hazard the best player in the league and at the World Cup. Great lad.

While I haven't been as passionate about it can I claim my place early on this bandwagon as well.

[Waffdon]

You’re a coke head and on Twitter too much. We’re basically the same, hun.

[phonics]

Worse than that being true is that I could probably pass for your Dad.

[Waffdon]

You look tremendous for 40 and a coke addiction, it must be said.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hazard has the most ability in the league but he drifts out of every season and isn't ruthless enough. Yet.

[Reg]

That must be one of our worst halves in recent seasons. Southampton have been alright to be fair.

@Waff, I think Deeney had it right: De Bruyne and Hazard.

Last season alone, Salah. While I'm on Salah: I reckon he's on his way to Ronaldo-ing for a move to Real/Barca and developing into a bit of an egomaniac. Bit early to call yet, but during the back end of last season and the start of this one, he's had a few mini-strops when Mane has not got the pass off or whatever, and the team has been adapted to him basically not defending his own half.

[Waffdon]

Hazard shits on De Bruyne and every club in the world would rather Hazard at their club.

[-james-]

Locadia has a very real Ali Dia feel about him.

[niko_cee]

Having seen him in the flesh multiple times, Locadia is worryingly bad. To the extent that it is hard to determine what it is he's meant to be good at.

It's early days but Jahanbakhsh looks fairly toilet as well.

'mon the jinx!

[John]

The dangers of buying attackers from the Dutch league. Jahanbaksh looked like he could make the step up though.

Locadia is a striker who averaged less than ten goals a season in that league, fuck knows why anyone thought he'd be up to scratch.

[Reg]

He did have a shocker tonight. There've been good signs previously but yeah that didn't look too hopeful.

But Knockaert. :drool:

[phonics]

Brighton do seem like the type of team that's going to spend too big on someone, probably from Serie A, and it become an albatross around their neck.

How you get Gross in for 2m and then spend 15 on Izquierdo is just weird.

I really want Knockaert to do well even if he does seem a bit of a moody twat, guys gone through multiple seasons of being too good for the championship and too shit for the PL as well as all the emotional baggage of the last few years. It's the same for Matty Vydra and Dwight Gayle, that glass ceiling must be so frustrating.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This story doing the rounds about N'Golo Kanté rocking up at some bloke's house for a curry is the best.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45551585

What a man.

[Reg]

Knockaert's easily good enough, and he is a moody twat - but a hardworking, loveable one. Only really had one crack at a Prem season to be fair, having perhaps not been given a fair chance at Leicester (Max?).

edit- heh, Kante is great.

[phonics]

edit- heh, Kante is great.

As someone who had him in fantasy at both clubs, he was shit. Same with Vydra at Watford. Just that second to half second less results in an inferior player.

[niko_cee]

Izquierdo is an odd one to pick from the expensive Brighton spackers aisle.

At least he has a thing, even if he lacks any composure whatsoever. Locadia has no thing.

Shame he seems to have been taken hostage during or after the world cup.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45555567

Jack Wilshere out for about six weeks.

Didn't take long.

[Yevrah]

What a complete mess he is. The new Joe Cole, with a quicker ascent to injured waster.

[Baz]

Joe Cole didn’t smoke.

[Shindig]

And he had a better career. Jack is more like Keiron Dyer.

[Pleb]

Arselol's Chief Exec gone to Milan.

[phonics]

For an extra mil a year and an equity stake in the club. Dogshit transfer negotiator but well played, sir.
