October Football: Derbies 'n' stuff

[Ian]

Derbies! All of 'em. Well, some of them.

North London Derby today, Manchester Derby tomorrow (uh oh), Derby County are away at Cambridge, Palace / Chelsea is a sort of derby I guess?

All that plus a schedule this month which is so busy with league and European football it may as well have been designed to make sure the players will all be absolutely knackered before they even get to the World Cup.

On top of which we've presumably got more meaningless anti-Qatar non-protests being revealed to look forward to. Hooray!

[Kikó]

It's been so long that I've forgotten if we're any good any more. Would expect city to win tomorrow with the goblin scoring two.

[Waffdon]

Think City might score about 6 tomorrow. The child in defence is going to be absolutely flattened..

[Spikey M]

Maguire against Haaland.

[Kikó]

Maguire is out.

[Ian]

Think City might score about 6 tomorrow. The child in defence is going to be absolutely flattened..

Yeah Martinez has got a lot better since those grim first two games but they really need to keep Varane on Haaland as much as possible. Not that that fills me with confidence either but Haaland is about three times Martinez's height.

[Queenslander]

The Australia Cup Final is on atm and the Sydney United Croatian fan base booed and chanted during the Welcome to Country and sang chants over the anthem. lol

Dwight Yorke is the Manager for the A League side Macarthur FC.

[Giggles]

Would they not think of fucking back to Croatia at that stage then?

Martinez donned Haaland when Ajax played Dortmund.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's raped the keeper there.

[Waffdon]

Martinez donned Haaland when Ajax played Dortmund.

He really didn’t. Haaland just couldn’t finish, he had 3 really good chances in that match all with him rag dolling Martinez or Timber.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

As soon as Gabril fouled Richarlison you knew it was a penalty just from the way he was guiltily staring at the ref.

[Don]

But the little gremlin had a greater aerial duel win % than VVD

Donned.

[Don]

That was a quality half. Can't see how Chelsea are getting top 4.

[randomlegend]

that was a quality half. Can't see how liverpool are getting top 4.

ftfy

[Waffdon]

Yeah, Spurs should just about do enough to stay in top four. Chelsea should really aim to avoid EL/ECL and concentrate on completing their squad overhaul. They’re still about 5/6 players away from challenging for anything. Reckon Zaha might have a field day against Chelsea today with Silva in a back four

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lloris is so shit.

[phonics]

Absolutely dominated that.

[John Arne]

Brighton timewasting in the 9th minute. Great.

[randomlegend]

Brighton timewasting in the 9th minute. Great.

Give over

They should be 3-0 up.

[Ben]

Trent.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

[John Arne]

Give over

They should be 3-0 up.

They should be, thank fuck for Alisson. That doesn't change that their keeper is timewasting already, which is annoying, but fine.

[Gray Fox]

Calvin Ramsey is gonna need to be good. And fit. Soon.

[John Arne]

Can we get Neco Williams back, please.

[Spoonsky]

We’re being torn apart here.

[randomlegend]

This Liverpool team is done, and they won't spend enough or well enough to build another good one.

[Ben]

Klopp will be in Madrid by next July.

[Gray Fox]

Serious bad patch of form for Fabinho, Trent and Henderson all at once leads to this.

Hopefully the goal is a kick up the ass.

[Spoonsky]

That’s really well taken by Salah and Firmino.

We’ve actually looked okay going forward except for some indecisive finishing.

[randomlegend]

That goal from Almiron is absurd.

[niko_cee]

Is Cucurella injured or has Potter bowled in and left him out entirely?

[Waffdon]

Reporters saying he’s in hospital with a throat illness. ( oi oi)

We will see how good a coach Potter is by how long it takes for him to realise you can’t play Jorginho/Silva in the same side in a back four

[niko_cee]

He's pretty stubborn so if he thinks it's a good idea you can look forward to seeing a lot more of it.

[Gray Fox]

They've just shown a breakdown of Trents first half on my stream. He wants hooking at HT.

[Lewis]

There is a clip of Jurgen 'Jurgen Klopp' Klopp doing the rounds where he defends 'Trent' because he stands where he tells him and it benefits the team in other ways. We know that. Isn't the problem his ambling back and daydreaming when he is caught in attacking positions rather than being there for the press?

[randomlegend]

Baiting Liverpool into winning and helping United get top 4

I've played this blindingly.

[Giggles]

As if they ever weren’t going to

[Kikó]

RL doing a taz.

[Baz]

How bad does Alexander-Arnold have to be before Ramsay gets a game?

[Waffdon]

Mason Mount is properly awful.

[Gray Fox]

How bad does Alexander-Arnold have to be before Ramsay gets a game?

He only started training for the first time since July, this week. I reckon he’s a week or two away from any minutes.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Trossard

[Jimmy Floyd]

This Chelsea team isn't a team, it's just some players they have signed for random or unconnected reasons.

[randomlegend]

Someone needs to find Alexander-Arnold a new position because he is absolutely hilarious as a defender.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Some winner after a round of dadaist improvised comedy substitutions from Coach Potter.

[Don]

That might be the title gone but by christ we're gonna steamroller the CL once the momentum gets going.

And they were saying Bobby is finished

[Lewis]

Roberto De Zerbi looks like an Italian from fifteen years ago.

[Dquincy]

All this Trent bashing is giving Virgin Van Dyke a free ride. He's been dogshit as well.
