September: Transfers! Southend! FOUR GAMES!!!!!!!!

[John Arne]

This is turgid shite.

[randomlegend]

Southgate :lol:

[John Arne]

I'm pretty much supporting Ukraine at this point #SlavaUkraini

[Yevrah]

That line up is a crime against football, so nice to see it's working out so well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:harold:

[Shindig]

Don't worry, lads. I've got just the result that will lift spirits.

Eastleigh 0-6 Gateshead.

[phonics]

Thankful he's signed for Bayern so I can admit this now, that was a phenomenal pass from Kane.

[Dark Soldier]

Can't believe how unpatriotic some of you are. Pretty disgusting behaviour.

Maguire to get the winner. Our hero, our captain.

https://media.tenor.com/TSTviyh1yoIAAAAC/harry-maguire-big-head.gif

[niko_cee]

Is Foden forever tainted by that dalliance with the Icelandic slags [and good old 'Mase'] in Southgate's mind, or is he just a permanent victim of safety first football?

[niko_cee]

Also, is there any other example of a player for a serious nation who categorically doesn't get picked for his club in all but the most dire circumstances yet starts every game for his country?

[Spikey M]

This is absolute dog shit.

[Yevrah]

This is absolute dog shit.

Wash your mouth out. It's a solid point that puts us one step closer to qualifying. Four more years please Gareth.

[niko_cee]

Maguire's been hanging around with Rashford for too long.

Oh, good, here comes Connor Gallagher to save the day.

[Spikey M]

The only positive to come out of that was Walker pocketing the TikTok nonce so easily. Honestly don't understand how he's managing to continue stealing a living at this level.

[Spikey M]

Scotland beat us on Tuesday. Nailed on.

[Offshore Toon]

4.5 to win. :drool:

[niko_cee]

The Joe Cole analysis is comedy gold.

[Waffdon]

Scotland beat us on Tuesday. Nailed on.

Nah, Rashford and Saka will smash us on the counter.

[Waffdon]

Germany are properly shit these days aren’t they

[Don]

Ya but don't sleep on the Samurais coming to teach the white man a lesson. Their XI is filth.

[Manc]

Also, is there any other example of a player for a serious nation who categorically doesn't get picked for his club in all but the most dire circumstances yet starts every game for his country?

Sergi Romero comes to mind. Argentina have won the lot since dropping him.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Bielsa's Uruguay mowed down Chile last night as well in the first World Cup qualifier. What a combination they could be.

[Waffdon]

They should be good. They have proper defenders, a very good midfield (even better when Bentancur is back) and then a proper international striker in Darwin Nunez

[Manc]

Proper.

[Waffdon]

Proper manager now too with a proper bench.

[Lofty]

Properest football man.

[Boydy]

1700568750213202191
This is absolutely going to happen, isn't it?

[niko_cee]

:yn:

Sadly he'll probably just stay with England FOREVER.

[Offshore Toon]

My mate reckons he'll go to Palace to replace Roy, being a former captain and all.

[Jimmy Floyd]

England need him more than he needs them. They have an M&S menswear contract which probably still has years to run, and he handily ticks all the woke boxes while also not backing up his words with actions, which keeps the council estate £s rolling in. The ideal England manager.

[Shindig]

I'm sure Steve Cooper would be the next best thing for them.

[Spikey M]

Paul Ince.

I haven't heard him having a cry about how he'd be managing Man Utd if he was white for a while actually. What's he up to these days?

[Mike]

He’s too good for United these days.

[Shindig]

Paul Ince is, sit down for this, currently unemployed.

[Lewis]

Does he still have his personalised Asda space?

[Giggles]

What the fuck was Idah at there?

[Manc]

No Idah.

[Don]

Looks like a tasty atmosphere this in Ireland.

[Don]

This Nigerian side look like they could possibly reach new heights for Africa. Attack is filth and there's just about enough respectability in defence for them to be carried by their teammates.

[Don]

Koeman smashed the tactical HT subs to change formation and kill the game. And that's with Weghorst as his option off the bench. Makes you think.

[Giggles]

Kenny will be 25 minutes late with his subs as usual. He's gone after tonight, may as well go for it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1700962588895404314

Seems only cunts go to see the king of cunts.

[niko_cee]

So much clenching in that photo.

[Lewis]

I read today that Michael Emenalo is a big noise in Saudi Arabian football. I hope the 'red-faced man' is cashing in right alongside him.

[Lofty]

What the fuck is Piers' posture there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's hoping for a kiss.

[Lewis]

What the fuck is Piers' posture there.

Irons his turkey neck out.

[Dark Soldier]

Pogba caught with high levels of testosterone (no Taz it isnt because he is black and no you cant suck him off), could be a big ban. Fucking lol.

[Don]

Real are about to rename the Bernabeu 'Wakanda Forever' and the best Barclays talents get hoovered up by the Shiites, the white man has been well and truly cornered and his last resort is, sadly, to cry about his biological inferiority.

[Boydy]

Sunnis, surely?

[Dark Soldier]

Taz, I would absolutely turn your pelvis into dust if we had to play swordfights with our cocks. Windmill it and I'd be crushing your hip bones you vastly inferior specimen of confused race.

[niko_cee]

People make fun of Harry Kane for employing his [even more?] retarded brother as an agent, but, looking at Poor Paul Pogba, it could be worse.

[Offshore Toon]

I'd love it if he had an agent brother called Poor Pogba.

[randomlegend]

Looking like Antony is innocent.

[Lewis]

I'd love it if he had an agent brother called Poor Pogba.

Poorp Ogba.

[Baz]

Looking like Antony is innocent.

Guilty of being a fraud though.

[Offshore Toon]

You'd only cry in his situation if you were guilty. If there was nothing to it you'd just tell them to prove it and fuck off, but the Greenwood situation has got him bricking it like the scum coward he is.

[randomlegend]

You'd only cry in his situation if you were guilty. If there was nothing to it you'd just tell them to prove it and fuck off.

Load of absolute shit.

[Don]

A certain someone is suspended and all of a sudden Portugal look ridiculously good and Bobby Martinez is about to lead them to glory.

[Offshore Toon]

Load of absolute shit.
He'd only cry on TV if he had no other choice. Just look at him ffs.

[niko_cee]

Looking like Antony is innocent.

Is this a good or a bad thing?

[Jimmy Floyd]

South Americans cry if a twig snaps. That one read to me like the brass seeing the Greenwood thing and hoping to cash in / take revenge.

[Giggles]

Christ we're going to end up with Roy Keane :face:

[Lofty]

Seen people still wittering on about THE LIONESSES TM dodging the crowd of kids waiting to greet them at the airport on their return from the world cup, what a PR fuck up that was :D

[Don]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66781875

1701489051004489981

I love this game, man :D

[Ben]

I backed Southgate for a lot longer than most (probably the Middlesbrough affinity), but he can fuck off right into the sun at this point.

[niko_cee]

Not that he's going anywhere, but I love the idea that his somewhat equivocal line on the Saudis is the thing that might take him down, rather than the myriad footballing cataclysms [see above] he seeks to visit on everyone.

[Spikey M]

I forgot we were playing tonight. Fuck sake.

Might actually back Scotland. Teach me some chants Waff.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hoots mon, hoots mon,
Porridge on the stove,
England might have Maggie T
But we've got Michael Gove
*refrain*
Super, super Mike...

[Lofty]

If Southgate sticks with his previous selection it's going to be chrouses of 'Gareth where's your troooosers' til the sun comes up.

[Waffdon]

I forgot we were playing tonight. Fuck sake.

Might actually back Scotland. Teach me some chants Waff.

We will roll over so Southgate gets praise once again.

[Yevrah]

I backed Southgate for a lot longer than most (probably the Middlesbrough affinity), but he can fuck off right into the sun at this point.

With my e-victory on the matter close to being sealed one thing I would like to add is that not only is he a horribly regressive manager in his approach to matches, the longer he goes in the job and the more he speaks the more it hammers home how he talks absolute drivel, cloaked in articulation. If chatgpt had been a thing back when he got the job I'd be convinced by now he was using it in preparation for any questions that came up, but not once cross referencing it against previously used responses it had churned out.

[Ben]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66786085

How have I never heard of this before? A quick Google suggests he was the guy that blew the whistle on Twente that ended up getting them banned from Europe for a few years. I'm not seeing a whole lot he did wrong, other than piss off the wrong folk.

[Waffdon]

Rashford/Kane/Foden up against Porteous/Hendry/Tierney :D

We really should get battered.

[Spikey M]

Och aye, yah gawtee ha ah wee bat ah faith, lad.

Nailed it.

[niko_cee]

You missed yah wee bawbag.

[randomlegend]

Phillips starting :D

[Spikey M]

You missed yah wee bawbag.

I'm trying to balance Spikey Mouse, Spikey O'Mouse and now Spikey McMouse as a persona here. Give me a break, ya gobshite.

I don't know how Kiko does it.

[Offshore Toon]

Dykes last minute winner incoming.

[Ben]

Och aye, yah gawtee ha ah wee bat ah faith, lad.

Nailed it.

Jobby.

[Boydy]

I bet if England had a better anthem, they'd have won something in recent years.

[Giggles]

Looked up that Jack Hendry (to see if he was Colin's) and that's some mad club career.

[Spikey M]

Mudryk not in the Ukraine 11. Presumably he's still trying to fight his way out of Walkers laundry basket.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was nice from Foden.

[Manc]

Bellingham & Rashford link is filthy.

[Waffdon]

That was coming. If rashford could time a run properly they’d be 2 or 3 up.

We’re fucked against any team with pace and directness which England have plenty of. No out ball either, not sure playing 4 centre midfielders will do well long term

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

RIP in pieces Scotland.

[Spikey M]

Spikey McMouse in the mud

[Waffdon]

Robertson :D

He’s utter shite for us.

[Waffdon]

Them bastard Georgians rolling over to stop us qualifying tonight as well.

[niko_cee]

Lewis Dunk is by some distance England's best centre half.

[Spikey M]

Bellingham is going to be England's best ever player, isn't he?

[niko_cee]

Who would he be replacing?

Bobby Charlton? Matthews or Finney? Bobby Moore? It'll take some to go past the bobbies.

[Ian]

David Nugent or Francis Jeffers and their 100% scoring records, clearly.

[Spikey M]

My footballing knowledge goes no further back than about 1996, so no idea.

[niko_cee]

I saw that Jeffers goal. Never before realised I had been witness to history.

[niko_cee]

My footballing knowledge goes no further back than about 1996, so no idea.

Gazza or Wazza then, so maybe he's in with a shot.

[Spikey M]

If Roy Keane didn't exist we could have had Haaland in this team too. :happycry:

[Spikey M]

Big fan of the Maguire abuse :D

[Baz]

Who would he be replacing?

Bobby Charlton? Matthews or Finney? Bobby Moore? It'll take some to go past the bobbies.
Rooney, no question.

[randomlegend]

Scotland are absolute shit, we'd win this about 8-0 with a real manager.

[Ian]

I saw that Jeffers goal. Never before realised I had been witness to history.

I think I'd edge Nugent's for being a stolen tap-in he had the cheek to celebrate with the person he nicked it off.

[Spikey M]

:D unreal

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Slabhead :lol:

[niko_cee]

:D

What a finish.

[Lofty]

Slabinho

[randomlegend]

He's so fucking awful it's insane.

[Ben]

:lol:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Very astute of Steve Clarke to bring on Maguire. Really turned the game for them.

[niko_cee]

The closing of ranks around Maguire is almost as impressive as how shit he is.

[Waffdon]

Imagine having the luxury of bringing Saka and Eze on ffs

[randomlegend]

You'd feel sorry for Maguire if it weren't for the fact he has zero self-awareness whatsoever and still thinks he's the tits

[Spikey M]

Bellingham :drool:

[randomlegend]

Absolute filth from Bellingham. Looks like he's playing against kids.

[niko_cee]

Just got to find a way to keep Bellingham off the laughing gas.

[Waffdon]

Bellingham is a joke

[randomlegend]

Birmingham going to have the last laugh retiring his shirt number.

[phonics]

Remember when Liverpool said Judge Bellingham was too expensive and then bid 120 million quid for a bloke with 40 games for Brighton?

[Dave.]

Maguire captain now.:roflol:

[Gray Fox]

Remember when Liverpool said Judge Bellingham was too expensive and then bid 120 million quid for a bloke with 40 games for Brighton?

We've got Szoboszlai now who is obviously 10x the player. Taz will remind you of that next time he's on.

[randomlegend]

Remember when Liverpool said Judge Bellingham was too expensive and then bid 120 million quid for a bloke with 40 games for Brighton?

Or he just had no interest in going to Liverpool over Real Madrid, because why would anyone?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

One of his fetishes is getting robbed every other week?

[Baz]

We've got Szoboszlai now who is obviously 10x the player. Taz will remind you of that next time he's on.

So boss laa

[Lewis]

Absolute filth from Bellingham. Looks like he's playing against kids.

He's like what United thought Paulp Ogba was.

[Manc]

Imagine if we had a serious coach.

[Lewis]

I would send Harry Maguire out to give a really patronising interview saying how well Scotland did and how 'passionate' their fans are.

[Lofty]

Remember when Liverpool said Judge Bellingham was too expensive and then bid 120 million quid for a bloke with 40 games for Brighton?

Yeah to be fair I think Liverpool's main problem this summer has been attracting targets rather than paying for them.

[phonics]

Southgate absolutely dying on his own sword for Maguire is both respectable and hilarious.

[Don]

Bellingham is indeed what you'd get if you slapped on some British tax and BLM privelege onto the Hairy Hungarian. The celebration and his general personality is top class too so you wonder if he's going to lose his life in some serious car accident or something because there's no stopping the lad from completing life otherwise.

[Waffdon]

Somehow about Chelsea but I think they may have hit the jackpot with one of their underage signings. Kendry Paez started and has absolutely donned Uruguay for the 70 mins he was on the pitch.

Only turned 16 in May and already playing for Ecuador lmao

[niko_cee]

Is he even allowed in the country before he turns 18? Plenty of time for the surgeons to book him in.

[Waffdon]

Nope, has to wait until he’s 18. No need for a loan or anything if he keeps this up. Will absolutely piss it up in the Championship.

[John Arne]

Marco Veratti confirmed at Al-Arabi in Qatar for $45m.

11 goals in 416 games for PSG, which even for a holding midfielder, seems a bit trash playing for a team that wins the league every year.

[Gray Fox]

I see Jadons Ancho has been DISCIPLINED.

Surely he's done at United now, unless Ten Haag goes?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Might be able to get 50p and a Curly Wurly for him. A Twix if we're lucky.

[Baz]

Saw someone wearing that atrocious United kit yesterday. Surprised someone’s bought it.

[Yevrah]

Harry Maguire's Mum coming out must represent some sort of nadir for the wellness train.

[randomlegend]

I'm usually on the side of not relentlessly shitting on players but Maguire can fuck himself with a cactus. The man has zero self-awareness and clearly still thinks he's the shit. Making statements about how what he cares about most is playing football when he refused to go and be first choice at West Ham because we wouldn't give him a big enough payoff.

Prick.

[Shindig]

I was trying to think who England have as an alternative. Conor Coady? Although I think he's in there for the 2018 corner routines that haven't worked since.

[Lewis]

The last of the Joe Hart-style Big Men. Have to admire it.

[John Arne]

The Athletic going after a manager for placing 3 "low value" bets in 2017 on teams he wasn't involved with is all a bit gutter journalism.

For once the FA probably did the right thing in issuing a warning and moving on with it, yet here are the Athletic screaming for justice. Cunts.

[Waffdon]

1702608204004229481

That’s Everton nailed on for relegation based on that ownerships luck so far with clubs

[Danny]

That’s a lot of partners

[Danny]

Seeing a lot of people squawking RACISM because Toney got a longer ban than Toffolo for less bets, despite the reasons not being released.

[Max Power]

There is probably a distinction to be made between people who are addicts (seems like the manager in question was running up close to 7 figures in debt - which is a lot for a league 1/2 manager) and those just breaking the rules to have a punt on the weekend. Just not sure how the FA can work that out

[Ben]

Toffolo seemingly grassed himself up when he saw what happened to Toney so has been let off for doing the honourable thing. It stinks, really, but that's the rumour amongst Forest fans.

[Danny]

Toffolo seemingly grassed himself up when he saw what happened to Toney so has been let off for doing the honourable thing. It stinks, really, but that's the rumour amongst Forest fans.

Saw stuff along those lines too. A lot of “what if” going about. Toney bet on games he was involved in and apparently was difficult during the investigation.

[Lofty]

Toffolo also didn't bet on his own team did he not?

[Giggles]

Sweet lamb of Jesus. I'd rather Kenny lose the next 10 in a row than that fucking dinosaur.

1702613643127296355

[Spikey M]

From that list it had to be Allardyce. He's a decent manager even if you are liable to end up facing match fixing charges or something else dodgy.

If they go for Steve Bruce I'm handing back my Spikey O'Mouse citizenship card.

If they go for Roy Keane, you should hand yours in too.

[Shindig]

Chris Hughton, please.

[Giggles]

A mercenary like Allardyce would be the worst of the lot. Carsley is the best pick but he's probably on course to replace Southgate in the long term.

[niko_cee]

Chris Hughton, please.

Hasn't he literally just taken the Ghana job?

Big lay on that market if so.

[Shindig]

So he is. Hope he dons it but I suspect he's not mad enough to crack the African Cup of Nations.

[Waffdon]

Sweet lamb of Jesus. I'd rather Kenny lose the next 10 in a row than that fucking dinosaur.

1702613643127296355

Barry worth a go to see if he’s up to it in management. He’s definitely highly thought of as a coach.

[Lewis]

Ireland have one good player in the shape of that massive mick face at Brighton, so they should appoint whoever plays a style that gets the ball to him as quickly as possibly, like when David Healy was somehow almost single-handedly getting Northern Ireland into contention.

[Waffdon]

I’m very jealous of Ireland and Wales producing an absolute weapon in attack in recent years. We just have boatloads of full backs and midfielders.

Relying on an absolute mong of an Aussie striker and an English bum is not fun.

[Ian]

The first time ever, I think, "absute weapon " has been used in a complimentary sense.

[Ian]

That’s a lot of partners

Hate myself for laughing at this.

[Waffdon]

The first time ever, I think, "absute weapon " has been used in a complimentary sense.

Can be used for both but if you were calling someone a weapon here you’d think they were fit. But I know it can also be used for tit, gimp, idiot, mong etc

[Ian]

Really? Is that particular to that part of the country? I've been up here a long time now as you know and I don't think I've ever heard it used in a positive way. Interesting.

[Don]

Buzzing for the football today, it's been too long ffs. Liv and Brighton game followed by possibly Milan derby rather than Newcastle game.

[Waffdon]

Really? Is that particular to that part of the country? I've been up here a long time now as you know and I don't think I've ever heard it used in a positive way. Interesting.

[Ian]

I love the example for this one:
"weapon
Another word for tool and is considered an insult
James is a weapon because he like shiny toy guns.
by Cephas00 April 13, 2007"

[Giggles]

We'd use weapon the same as Waff is too.

[Giggles]

I’m very jealous of Ireland and Wales producing an absolute weapon in attack in recent years. We just have boatloads of full backs and midfielders.

Relying on an absolute mong of an Aussie striker and an English bum is not fun.

I'd happily swap. We don't have any midfield whatsoever and have been playing the likes of Callum O'Dowda and Alan Browne as full/wing backs.

[Gray Fox]

Very interesting to see Quansah starting. Very attacking lineup again.

[Mike]

That Liverpool back 4 isn’t confidence filling.

[Don]

Geezers doubting us still :D

[Gray Fox]

Kid looked really good in the cameos he's had. Looks like he can actually play out from the back too. Why not?

[Giggles]

It's Wolves.

[niko_cee]

Wolves absolutely spannered Liverpool last season.

[Spikey M]

Sure, but they're absolute dogshit this season.

[Gray Fox]

Goe Jomez playing the exact Trent role. Wolves aren't ready for it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hwangers and Mash :cool:

[John Arne]

A yellow card for brushing someone's chest. Referees really are useless.

[Gray Fox]

Robertson should really cover that off on the cross and the shot.

[Waffdon]

Moaning at Robertson when a bloke just ran through 3 players without a challenge is interesting

[Spikey M]

Sure, but they're absolute dogshit this season.

Lol

[Gray Fox]

Moaning at Robertson when a bloke just ran through 3 players without a challenge is interesting
I expect better of him. I don't of Goe Jomez.

[Don]

15 mins to settle. Fucking hell.

[Waffdon]

No idea how Jota starts for you.

[Gray Fox]

Wants hooking before HT. Looks awful.

[Shindig]

Liverpool should be used to going behind.

[Don]

Wanna know why the favela cunts are not starting, watchMac Allister. Fuck me, that Bolivian oxygen deprivation still wreaking havoc.

[Gray Fox]

Perhaps we're using the Newcastle script again.

[Serj]

Mac Allister should really not be in the holding position in front of the defence. So slow on the turn and his ball recovery also doesn't look special (not helped by the early yellow, of course). Endo for him and Nunez for Jota or Gakpo, please.

[Waffdon]

Brazil don’t do good strikers anymore do they

[Gray Fox]

I don't think 5 subs will be enough today.

[Don]

This French Fuck looking like peak Camavinga on his debut too. Fuck off.

[SincereTheRebel]

Kante regen .

[Gray Fox]

Goe Jomez playing the exact Trent role. Wolves aren't ready for it.

It turns out in fact, they were ready for it.

[Spikey M]

All a bit Last Days Of Dortmund.

[Gray Fox]

New drinking game. Drink every time Joe Gomez stalls an attack by taking two touches and turning back inside.

[Don]

All a bit Last Days Of Dortmund.

7/8/9 year curse, innit.

[Gray Fox]

Take Jermaine Jenas out back and shoot him.

[Waffdon]

Cracking attempt at a kick from Sa there. Absolutely dog shit

[Don]

Suck it up, lads.

[Serj]

Brilliant. :cool:

[Don]

Adingra and Mitoma is tasty but the refugee in for Gilmour is a bye. Fuck off.

[Lewis]

Getting donned by Danny Welbeck and Adam Lallana in 2023/24. Give up.

[phonics]

Welbz is such a don. If he had knees he’d be an all timer.

[Waffdon]

West Ham gonna beat Brighton, Man City and Chelsea with about 60% combined possession :cool:

[Lewis]

Hoyland is going to set all sorts of records for sprints and decoy runs while Rashford runs the shot clock into the ground.

[Don]

Getting handled by Brighton B but r/Virgins still thinking Eth/Casemiro/Martinez aren't finished. What a Saturday.

[Waffdon]

‘The Butcher’ sent for a ride there by Gross :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ten Hag OUT.

[Waffdon]

Lucky to even have 6 points. Wolves missed a boat load of chances in that opening game and then obviously Forest bottling the 2-0 lead.

[Luke Emia]

How long until he’s under pressure? So far he’s binned off Ronaldo(right call but very costly), spent 90 million on a wife beater and basically written off another 70 million forward.

The football isn’t brilliant and the results aren’t that much better. Realistically Rashford having a purple patch coupled with Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea shitting the bed is what got them into the top 4.

He’s done fine but they have been going backwards since the Carabao cup win.

[Lewis]

They will probably can him if he doesn't get top four this season.

[Kikó]

Ole without a job must be tempting for the management.

[Gray Fox]

Sheffield United outSpursing Spurs. Send them down already.

[Don]

Most ridiculous penalty decision there for the diving lesbian.

[Giggles]

There's another ridiculous one.

[niko_cee]

Craig Pawson's family obviously on an all expenses paid trip to wither the Kingdom or the nearest Embassy.

[niko_cee]

They will probably can him if he doesn't get top four this season.

May as well can him now then. He's clearly done. It's not all his fault, but what has he created? A better work ethic? A style of play, to the extent that you can call it that, entirely at odds with what United fans expect with little prospect of improvement beyond individuals doing stuff. The goalie also looks absolute shite.

[Gray Fox]

Ten Haag has implemented a playstyle, but his problem is that it is one of counter attacking football. It works okay, but against your better teams you need more than that. Is it correct he has yet to win away to a "top 6" rival? Never mind the full on humpings he got given away to City and Liverpool last year.

He was helped last season by Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool descending into lols. This time around two of those seem to have sorted their act out a bit and that really leaves him battling Newcastle for 5th.

He's also spend fuck loads of money on players that he clearly wanted, despite Neville trying to say the Norwich scarves need to come back again. It's not really progressing though. United fans want attacking football, but I'm not sure he is the man to get it flowing.

[Shindig]

Alright, I've looked at the INCIDENTS from wor match.

- Wilson's disallowed goal: Bit soft. Keeper could've dealt with it, even in the scramble.
- The penalty that was given: There's contact but Gordon's never getting there and the ball's going dead. Harsh on Brentford.
- The penalty not given: Right call. Defender's just doing his job and it's deflected onto his hand.

Lucky to come away with 3 points but I think Wilson's goal should've (probably) stood.

[Lewis]

May as well can him now then. He's clearly done. It's not all his fault, but what has he created? A better work ethic? A style of play, to the extent that you can call it that, entirely at odds with what United fans expect with little prospect of improvement beyond individuals doing stuff. The goalie also looks absolute shite.

His contract presumably contains top four get-outs, so they won't do anything until then. Besides, if the season is a write-off already - and it probably is - then they might as well see if he can turn it around before starting the entire shit process again.

[Kikó]

Let's sack him because he's lost a few games. Get a grip FFS.

I mean, I'm not a United fan, but I think the problem may go a bit deeper than losing 3 of your first 5 games (which would have been unthinkable a short while back). He turned CR7 against the club, oversaw what appears to be a rape syndicate and has now written off an £80 million signing.

Get you Norwich scarf out you slut.

Overseeing a rape syndicate might be a bit harsh. Did the Greenwood stuff happen on his watch [not that it is at all relevant if it did]? Obviously there are various off field problems [sexual abuse, ownership] which are beyond his control and would be difficult for anyone to deal with, but there are other things, like having no style of play beyond punting it over the top and hoping Rashford does something, spending the best part of £200m on players from your old club [this should always be a red flag] whilst at the same time never playing the one you duped United into buying before you took up the reigns [and then a big wedge on Real Madrid retirement plans], falling out with players, making Bruno Fernandes captain, getting outplayed more often than not, getting absolutely reamed on occasion [3 of the biggest beatings on record against Liverpool in 4 attempts] and generally having the air of not being in control.

They've been in the business of stealing results for years, but particularly under Ten Hag [look at both wins this season]. Throw Champions League commitments into the mix and I don't see how things are going to improve. Obviously need to give him time though.

Looking forward to Shearer’s passive aggression towards Greenwood next season. :drool:

So if anything he denied the rape syndicate of its biggest star then.

His away record especially in the capitulations are poor. Him signing players he's familiar with (overblown but anyway) it's more symptomatic of a club with no scouting strategy than the manager. He's been hard on player conduct (which was a stick to beat OGS on with indulging the workshy) and in the right (Sancho he gave ample time and support to not be a waster).


On the pitch, again it could be better but considering the start to the season (injuries, player drama, late signings and late not sellings) then it's understandable we're not playing as well as possible. Time will tell and I'm sure Liverpool fans will continue to watch us and offer their insights.

[Shindig]

He did win a trophy last season and get to another final. Upsetting Sancho and Ronaldo doesn't seem that big a deal when they're not performing on the pitch.

The day Thiago Silva retires, the day Chelsea are back.

He’s so fucking bad.

[niko_cee]

Why is 'Poch' insisting on playing Colwill at leftback [if the BBC have it right that is]?

[niko_cee]

Is it just me or has the flick/scoop pass seemingly made a resurgence this season?

Or has it happened in the wake of that offside rule interpretation query?

[Waffdon]

Why is 'Poch' insisting on playing Colwill at leftback [if the BBC have it right that is]?

Because Silva HAS to start for some reason. He ruins the whole dynamic of the team.

[Baz]

Chelsea’s bench is so bad. How?!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They haven't had enough investment.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This kit marks a new low.

[Jimmy Floyd]

How the fuck can you be offside from a direct free kick? That bloke can go in the bin with George Russell.

[randomlegend]

How the fuck can you be offside from a direct free kick? That bloke can go in the bin with George Russell.

Am I not understanding this right? Why on earth would you not be able to be offside from a direct freekick?

[Jimmy Floyd]

You are indeed not understanding this right.

[Baz]

This kit marks a new low.

Is it green?

[Raoul Duke]

Mudryk is absolute bobbins. Arsenal must be laughing their heads off at missing out on him

[Spikey M]

Man Utd being bad is fun, but this Chelsea team is comedy gold.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is it green?

Yes, it's green.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Anyone who predicted Chelsea to come top six this season, which was more or less everyone by the way, should hang their heads in fucking shame.

[Waffdon]

Bournemouth will win this from a set piece or on the break.

No idea what Poch is up to with these line ups. Just playing folk out of position for no reason. Still, should have scored at least twice by now.

[Luke Emia]

I’m not even sure Jackson needed the operation.

[Waffdon]

They just don’t shoot. Lol. All about the possession stats and passes

[niko_cee]

At least timing might finally coincide for United to appoint SmallPockets.

[Spikey M]

I think it might be time to conclude that Poch is a fraud that was made to look good by a very good Spurs side.

[Waffdon]

Managers just turn into boring bastard when they walk into a Chelsea dugout. Poch never played this cancerous football at spurs. Far too scared to lose a game or goal. Pass, pass, pass. Didn’t even look like they tried to win at the end.

He has the best young defender in the league playing left back to accommodate a 40 year old. He has Conor Gallagher playing deep when the only position he’s passable is ‘10’ or at least further away from his own box. He has the young player of the World Cup playing further forward when he should be dictating play from the middle. He’s had Chilwell at left wing up until today.

James, Fofana, Nkunku, Badiashile, Chukwuemka and even Madueke should all walk into the team but they’re too busy being injured. Even Lavia is out for weeks now.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Manager isn't the problem. You're thinking too short term. The problem is that they've spent billions of pounds and don't have anything that anyone could turn into a football eleven.

[Gray Fox]

£1bn spend and Conor Gallagher trotting out as captain. These two things should not go together.
