November football: The planes are warming up

[-james-]

I think England seem likely to have the easy side of the draw if all the favourites win their groups (which they won't). Top is England, France, Belgium, Portugal which seems much kinder than Netherlands, Argentina, Spain/Germany, Brazil.

[Waffdon]

It’s a shame Portugal have that gimp in charge as well as being forced to play Ronaldo as their team ON PAPER !!! Is ridiculously good.

Costa; Cancelo, Pepe, Dias, Mendes; Palhinha, Silva, Fernandes; Felix, Ronaldo, Leao

Corrr

[Giggles]

England squad is mega tbh.

You definitely must be getting paid by their media team.

[Giggles]

Also, is there not a Qatar 2022 thread?

[-james-]

You definitely must be getting paid by their media team.

At least 15 of them play every week for the best five or six sides in Europe. Who else is that true of?

[-james-]

Make that the best ten sides. My point stands though. I'm not saying it's worse than England's, but the Brazil squad for example drops off pretty hard once you get to about 16 on the squad list.

[Yevrah]

If that's true then there's really even less excuse for playing the turgid shit we do and going out of tournaments in the same way each time.

[Shindig]

Conor Gallagher's 4 England caps have totally passed me by.

[niko_cee]

England's quality drops off pretty hard once you start trying to write names onto the teamsheet.

[Giggles]

At least 15 of them play every week for the best five or six sides in Europe. Who else is that true of?

But, the manager.

[Ian]

Fingers crossed something, literally anything, happens this half.

[Ian]

A thing happened! Genuinely so bored before that I don't even care it was Villa scoring.

[Ian]

:eek:

Sensory overload.

[Ian]

Ah, a calamity after a raking ball to the back post. A very Solskjaer era goal to concede by a very Solskjaer era looking time.

[Don]

Villa are already looking pretty tasty, good ebening indeed, you mongs.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You're better off out of the league pot. Next games (4th round) are played two days after the World Cup final.

[Kikó]

Been a pretty fun second half after the misery of the first.

[Don]

Garlic Nacho actually looks a decent player, get out of EPL before brexitball kills you, lad.

[Kikó]

Maguire is seriously lucky that there aren't many good English centre backs about.

[Ian]

Second half was fun. I am liking the look of Garnacho thus far.

[Lewis]

He's got one of those unique superstar names we had a thread on that time, so he's a certainty.

[randomlegend]

Maguire is seriously lucky that there aren't many good English centre backs about.

The difference in our defence when it's Martinez-Varane at CB compared to Martinez-Maguire (or any other pairing tbh) is stark.

[Shindig]

If Vincent Kompany could dump his old club out, that'd be grand.

[Gray Fox]

Bournemouth looking at Bielsa. We need more of his batshit crazy football back in the league.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Other than having the same colours as Newell's and better weather than Leeds, I'm not sure what Bielsa would be getting out of that gig. But sign me up.

[randomlegend]

Amad balling for Sunderland tonight. :cool:

[Gray Fox]

The next 45 mins are going to show Arsenal fans just how frustrating a title push against City actually is.

Queue up the dodgy penalty/goal and red card to Brentford followed by Guardiola looking smug in post match interviews.

[Gray Fox]

Ben Doak on the bench again today Waffdon

However Goe Jomez and Trent on the same side yet again...

[Ben]

Some excellent time wasting from Brentford here. Why 10 minutes added on?

[Gray Fox]

Laporte got twatted in the head.

Ivan Toney is a don.

[Ben]

Southgate in the mud.

[John Arne]

KDB properly bottled that challenge.

[niko_cee]

Transferred Big Tone out this week in fantasy football.

:cool:

[Waffdon]

Arsenal are definitely Leicester this season. Winning the league with about 80 points like the good old days.

[Gray Fox]

I've no idea why Liverpool are not currently banging on the door trying to sign him.

[niko_cee]

Nah, City are still pretty much on course for 90 points.

[Waffdon]

Yeah, he suits any team really. Has it all. Penalty taker, absolutely giant, presses like an absolute mad man and has a very decent touch.

[Waffdon]

Ben Doak on the bench again today Waffdon

However Goe Jomez and Trent on the same side yet again...

He’s definitely gonna be overplayed and snap his hamstrings and never play for Scotland.

[SincereTheRebel]

Havard Flo was shocking.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Toney clearly had money on him to score twice and Brentford win.

[Ben]

Maddison potentially injured. :eyemouth:

[Waffdon]

I’m shocked Harry Kane has had another decision go his way, the massive gimp.

[niko_cee]

Lampard surely sacked in the morning if this keeps up.

[Waffdon]

I really hope Eric Dier starts at the World Cup. Absolute abomination of a footballer.

[John Arne]

Gomez and Trent are both dogshit.

[John Arne]

King Kazu with his second of the season :drool:

[Waffdon]

That Everton defence is hilarious.

Edit: just the 6 centre mids starting for Chelsea :D

[Kikó]

Great third goal by Leeds.

[Shindig]

Christ, Pickford looked awful this afternoon.

[Waffdon]

Conor Gallagher and Mason Mount as your two number ‘10s’ is genuinely tragic.

[Waffdon]

No idea why that’s not a Newcastle penalty. A disgusting lack of proper footballers in either side. As long as you can run it’s all good.

[Shindig]

Hands were not in an unnatural position, apparently.

[Waffdon]

Watching Chalobah and Mendy pass back and forth to each other before losing the ball is mesmerising stuff

[niko_cee]

Seneglol

[Waffdon]

At this point Chelsea are better off sacking the league and deliberately missing out on EL/ECL as not a chance they’re finishing in the top 4. I think they’ve had 2 shots all game and one of them was a miss hit. He hasn’t been helped with injuries or the fact the squad in general is a bit shit, but Potter has been properly found out and looked massively out his depth the past month. It’ll be interesting if the break makes a difference as he should have Fofana, James and Chilwell all back fit by then.

[Ian]

Longstaff must have waited six seconds there before suddenly deciding he was in agony. Dunno if that's a record but it must be up there to go from "fine" to "clutching your face in pain."

[Shindig]

I once went to school with a lad who got a delayed concussion from running into a shopping trolley goalpost. Took about 2 weeks for him to realise.

[Waffdon]

Referee didn’t have a clue at the end of the game. Ended up shoving Pulisic out the way :D

[Shindig]

This timewasting bollocks needs to stop. I hate how much we lean on it.

[Gray Fox]

All of those cynical challenges at the end too. Some of them so blatant.

[Ben]

The one from Burn on Kovacic as he galloped towards the box was proper football.

[niko_cee]

What's going on with the VAR on that Wolves no penalty? Is it just complete pot luck now? Probably a red card too seeing as no effort to play the ball.

[Ben]

Baffling.

[Shindig]

Awww. :( I was getting my hopes up.

[Gray Fox]

Wolves haven't been too bad here but they just have nothing up front.

Where is Jiminez?

[niko_cee]

Hate that sort of penalty. McGinn never had any intention of taking another step, toe the ball and fall with feet together, the Harry Kane special.

[Foe]

Hate that sort of penalty. McGinn never had any intention of taking another step, toe the ball and fall with feet together, the Harry Kane special.

Despite being Scottish I hate mcginn. He’s such a gurny cheating little shit. Always in the referees face demanding bookings and falls over at the slightest contact. I think he’s usually one of the most fouled players in the league and it’s not because of his quality.

[niko_cee]

I hate the idea of that sort of thing being a penalty, but Digne just boots him and it has to be in the VAR age. Completely inexplicable.

[Waffdon]

Shame Mitrovic is pretending to be injured for the World Cup as he’d have had fun here.

[Lewis]

Imagine dropping points to Preseason Pirlo and Don James. Get the World Cup on.

[Waffdon]

Do love watching Palhinha. A proper defensive mid. Portugal must have some midfield if he doesn’t start there next week

[Danny]

Garnacho :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a boy he is.

[randomlegend]

That's absolutely brilliant from Garnacho.

[thommo]

Cruel. Utterly dominated United in the 2nd half. Martinez is a horrendous waste of £55m or whatever he cost.

[Dave.]

Any chance Garnacho starts league games on a regular basis after the World Cup?

[Kikó]

Any chance Garnacho starts league games on a regular basis after the World Cup?

Likely to be in on rotation with Anthony, Sancho and Elanga. He looks absolutely mustard.

[randomlegend]

He's quality you mong.

[thommo]

He was absolutely dogshit. Stick to wanking over transfer rumours.

[Kikó]

He really wasn't dogshit.

[thommo]

He was skinned numerous times in that 2nd half - I don't expect him to keep up with Dan James but don't press the ball and put yourself in that position. He was constantly under pressure when in possession and it led to lots of turnovers, giving us good position on the pitch. He might have been good in other games but going off tonight, he was the weakest link in that backline (along with Malacia who had a torrid time against Willian in the 1st half).

[Don]

Shut the fuck up, he's won the 2nd most aerial duels in the hsitory of the sport and he looks like a yob. The butcher :drool:

And Malacia is incredible. The attacking output...

[Lewis]

Dave Gayer had to make two decent saves, and United muffed six easy chances. Never in doubt.

Imagine being this obsessed over a £15m left back who doesn't even play for your team. Post (the same thing) about him literally every time he plays.

Edit: Trent "attacking-output" Alexander-Arnold has zero assists this season in all competitions :harold:

[Shindig]

Pre-World Cup Gateshead update:

Bottom of the Conference. We're not staying up.

[Kikó]

United were pretty average second half and the quality of the former United greats Hames and pre season Pirlo nearly swung it. But if you can win games playing poorly you're not in a bad way. Loads to do for ten Haag but it's improving.

[Don]

My G, you can't just back out of holes you dug yourself with 'OMG you're obsessed'. The fucking useless shite has an xA of exactly fucking zero still in over 500 mins of prem action. I said he was useless at attacking and you gave me your delusional tears and tantrums. You have to own these things and come put your dirty lips around my big girthy member and beg for forgiveness.

Comparing him to Trent :D my man has the 10th highest xA in the league.

Speaking of obsessed though, let me hear the one about Nunez again, it's been a bit quiet recently.

[randomlegend]

All those words to try and obscure the fact you've based an entire post on xAssists. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I must admit, the way Nunez's goals have fired you from a second place finish last season to 6th and 15 points behind the leaders is impressive.

[Lofty]

Has Willian sorted himself out since he came back? Last time I saw him the only thing he was giving a torrid time was the buffet.

[Luca]

Letting Dan James skin you is tactical mastery because he has the end product of a donkey. He almost muffed the goal by putting it straight at Gayer, who inexplicably turned sideways.

[thommo]

Has Willian sorted himself out since he came back? Last time I saw him the only thing he was giving a torrid time was the buffet.

He's been class. I was sceptical when the signing was announced but he's been really good and fit in with the team instantly.

[Giggles]

Is that the Willian? The Chelsea one?

[thommo]

Yeah, went back to Brazil but cancelled his contract with Corinthians. Trained with us for about 4 weeks and we signed him for a year.

[Waffdon]

I see Ronaldo has done another interview trashing Man Utd and Ten Haag.

[randomlegend]

Such a bellend :D

[Waffdon]

Never thought that Lukaku interview would be topped. What an absolute weapon. Odds on for Boehly to bring him in

[Spikey M]

With Piers Morgan of all people. What a mong.

Hopefully someone snaps his legs at the World Cup so he can't get a move.

[Baz]

I’ve been looking forward to this documentary (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ffsj) on OG Ronaldo

[Kikó]

No surprise on Ronaldo. The man is in denial about his current ability and all he has is moaning.

[Don]

That useless Pep lookalike made him captain a week after he walked out on the team and supporters, buzzing to see what masterstroke he has up his sleeves this time.

[Kikó]

Don't you support Liverpool?

[Giggles]

He’s got a point. If you’re taking a stand as a manager then take it and front up to it - don’t bend over and be a complete pussy about it all only a couple of weeks later. Weak in the extreme.

[Spikey M]

Especially as that interview had almost certainly already been given at the time and the club must have known about it.

[Kikó]

He's apparently been a professional in training throughout and perhaps there's a case that ten Haag wants to keep an experienced pro in the group. But Ronaldo is an ego unto his own (i don't agree with him being made Captain either)

[wullie]

Beat QPR at the weekend so now we're the best team in the entire division over the last 10 games, including four straight wins with no goals conceded and what's already a club record for consecutive away clean sheets. A month ago I was hoping we'd survive into the break and not be last, now instead it's disrupting what's a bizarre hot run of form and we're just outside the playoffs still with games in hand.

[Lofty]

The 'I'm better looking than Rooney and he is jealous' appears real.

[SvN]

Martinez is a horrendous waste of £55m or whatever he cost.

This is a weird take, even based on yesterday's performance. He got done for pace by James a couple of times, but he was fine otherwise. He's been superb generally, although much better when he's got a competent partner.

[igor_balis]

They should have terminated Ronaldo's contract really, but if not he should have been training with the kids, or as an absolute minimum probably not starting games as captain, mental decision.

[Spikey M]

Bringing him back in the first place was retardation of the highest order.

I think I forgot to claim that E-victory actually. RL, Come suckle my balls lad.

This seems like the obvious impasse, and easily doable from his end. The saddest thing about all of this is doing it through an interview with Piers Morgan on whatever that rinky-dink channel is. Surely just throwing something up on Instagram would have had more impact.

Judging from that performance, he was very poor in my opinion, especially considering the injuries we have up front and on the wings. I've not watched all of United's games this season so it could be the outlier but it really seemed like we were able to put him under pressure and force a lot of mistakes, especially in the 2nd half.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I can see Ronaldo spending his dotage on ever-more-tragic quests into the murk. Crypto, starting his own short-lived social media network, a terrible two-year stint as Portugal coach which ends with failure to qualify after a 1-1 draw in Moldova, photoshoots with various oppressive regimes, and finally being voted 2nd to Messi in some kind of FIFA Player of the Century gala in 2050 and shooting himself.

"He wouldn't mean to rape anyone."

[randomlegend]

The "he's a good boy" line is probably a bit misjudged (although I think he deserves some allowances for speaking in his second language) but I don't think there's actually anything wrong with the sentiment of what he's saying.

He is meant to give an account of what he has personally seen of the person's character and that's what he's done. He's not meant to say what he thinks about the accusations or judge whether he thinks they are true or not.

[Don]

"He hasn't so much as groped anyone during our rondos."

Pep knows his football, that's undoubted, but everything outside of the sport he really seems off on.

[randomlegend]

"He hasn't so much as groped anyone during our rondos."


But that's literally what he will have been asked. What has HE personally SEEN of him. Not what has he read in the paper.

[niko_cee]

Hopefully there can be some sort of mass effort to oust Pep from City, this could be as good an opportunity as any. Would make the football landscape a much more interesting place.



Speaking of obsessed though, let me hear the one about Nunez again, it's been a bit quiet recently.

I was somewhat taken aback by the comparison of him and Gabriel Jesus this season.

Nunez definitely feels like a bit of a throwback player. Doesn't give off the air of control than stains modern high performance footballers.

[Don]

But that's literally what he will have been asked. What has HE personally SEEN of him. Not what has he read in the paper.

Is he obligated to come give a character reference in defence of a serial rapist or did he agree to do so knowing he would only praise his majestic left foot crossing ability and watermelon smile?

[phonics]

Yeah not standing for that, you and Giggles are done dropping racist shit. Sick of it. 24 hour ban. New rule that will apply to everyone that somehow can't be 1970s level of national front in their conversation. Thanks.

Listen, Phonics, I appreciate you trying to backtrack and blame the bottle so swiftly but bro, it wasn't 12 pints, was it? You couldn't hold 12 pints of water, you weak man. And more importantly, don't give in to your innate urge to exert power and leverage over the nearest ethnic.

Brentford and England striker Ivan Toney has been charged by the Football Association with more than 200 alleged breaches of betting rules.

[Waffdon]

200 times :D

I hope it’s him backing Brentford to lose etc and not pointless shite like betting on Real Madrid to beat Shakhtar in the CL.

[Don]

Lol at the club's owner treading on eggshells trying not to bet on Brentford matches [as is his job] with the help of expensive lawyers only for this bellend to stick down a tenner on a weekend accy. Thick as pigshit. Victory for Gazza and his only one this month.

One of them was his related to his England cap. Probably sprinted down to the bookies when he got the call.

[Manc]

Not a chance Sir Waistcoat wasn't privy to this last week.

[Giggles]

Here comes the double standard tumbleweed.....

[Lofty]

Supposedly Mason Mount and Reece James are an item, Baz.

[Lewis]

Please use the official gay footballer speculation thread (https://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showthread.php?2816-Dominic-Calvert-Lewin-is-gay).

[Waffdon]

I’d not be surprised if Reece James did come out but there’s not a chance they’re in a relationship.

[Lewis]

Gutted lad.

No Haaland tonight. I’d say half the crowd won’t turn up.

[Spikey M]

Can't risk an injury before a big move.

Fear of coming up against Calum O’Dowda obviously.

[Gray Fox]

Mike Ashley the proud new owner of Coventrys stadium. Like they haven't suffered enough already.

[-james-]

England had some "migrant workers" at their training session today, and sky are showing an interview with one of them praising the whole operation. :harold:

Mike Ashley the proud new owner of Coventrys stadium. Like they haven't suffered enough already.

I know the fella trying to buy Coventry wanted the stadium but I thought they were planning on building a new stadium at Warwick uni anyway? Unless that has got knocked on the head since I read it.

Mike Ashley is never good news though.

[wullie]

The uni thing is still on, at least in the sense that they've not yet confirmed it's a load of bollocks that was just a prop to smoke Wasps out. The new guy is still looking at the stadium and was offering £8m more if Ashley fancies a quick profit, like the time we did it with Robert Jarni.

Not sure what to make of Ashley, we've got the next 8 years lease guaranteed and the ground is falling apart as it is so I can't see what his plans are going to be with it

[Shindig]

Turn it into a shopping centre/Sports Direct warehouse. That's all he knows.

[Raoul Duke]

He'll turn it into the world's biggest mug

[wullie]

There's a big Decathlon shop a few yards away from the ground, I wonder how long they'll hold out.

[Ian]

United suing Ronaldo apparently. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And we're set to tear up his contract too :drool:

[Spikey M]

Can you sue someone for being a big meanie pants?

[Ian]

The club is owned by Americans so I'm gonna say probably?

[Baz]

Anyone watched the Figo doc on Netflix? It’s very good.

He’s definitely a contender for the most attractive footballer ever.

[Manc]

Phwoar.

[Boydy]

Anyone watched the Figo doc on Netflix? It’s very good.

He’s definitely a contender for the most attractive footballer ever.

He's handsome but he's not that handsome.

Looks like the slightly sleazy tennis coach that would shag the bored wives at an upmarket holiday resort.

[Spikey M]

Lay off the 70's porn Boyd.

[Ian]

Who you putting in top spot Boydy?

[Danny]

Anyone watched the Figo doc on Netflix? It’s very good.

Good to know. I have it saved/downloaded for my flight home this weekend.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Boydy is right about Figo. Proper sleazeball energy.

If you were going to have a Mills & Boon style affair with someone from that Portugal team, I'm taking Nuno Gomes.

[Boydy]

Who you putting in top spot Boydy?
I'm not sure. I feel a thread coming on.

[Ian]

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

[Yevrah]

I know he’s taking a hammering for it but I’m 20 minutes into this Ronaldo interview and he hasn’t said a single thing I disagree with yet.

[Spikey M]

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

:D

What.

[Waffdon]

The ref told him ‘urine trouble’ and sent him aff eh

[Jimmy Floyd]

Fans aren't actors in the game, they could throw a live grenade at him and it would still be a red card offence to throw it back.

[Shindig]

Now every fan will be doing it.

[Kikó]

Where will they get the grenades? Don't be stupid.

[Spikey M]

Iran seems to be the goto.

[Giggles]

It’s odd having a friendly scheduled for the day the World Cup kicks off.

[niko_cee]

The people of Malta would appear to agree going off the crowd.

[Giggles]

It’s a fucking hard watch. I’d be all for a change again at this stage before the next campaign.

[Dquincy]

The nazi salutes. :D

Didn’t realise the Championship was still going on during the World Cup.

[Spikey M]

As is the non-league wank I attended at Southend this afternoon. Featuring the worst goal I have ever seen us concede, as the 'keeper and defender kicked the ball at each other before watching the striker walk the ball in.

[Shindig]

Gateshead lost 2-0 to land us right back in the shit. :moop:

[Don]

I had a great duel last season in Sunday league with Southend's starting striker (Chris Wreh son of Chris Wreh). He raped me on both occasions but I had my moments (largely revolving around dragging my studs down his achilles).

[Spikey M]

Well that's come out of nowhere. More info please.

[Don]

We got spanked last week, not by physical prowess or technical ability but by pure movement. Beautiful to witness.

Christopher Wreh's son is banging in 2 a game in our league and I think I'm up against him in a couple of weeks.

https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOmMzYWRhYTAwLTIwZmUtNDYzOC1hMWYwLTQwMTkyMT MzZGQ2MDoxM2Y1YzBjZS0zYmU4LTQyYWEtODc2Ny04ZWI1YmI3 YWI5ZmQ=.jpg?width=640&enable=upscale

It'll be like Lukaku vs VVD, 2 physical titans going head-to-head.

His partner was banging them in even more but is only at St Ives strangely. Guess he's not as much of a physical monster so probably not cut out for top level stuff.

2 top moments were Wreh getting angry with my aggressive pressing in the first encounter and charging me like a ragdoll and donning me with a stepover in the 2nd game to assist a goal. But I shit you not, I held my own. Yet more evidence that I was robbed to not have a professional career.

[Lewis]

Bullied out of 'Iran's diminutive number ten' status by Mark Randall. Maybe it wasn't to be.
