*Official* English Football Season 2014-15

Di maria wtf.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Why are we defending for our lives when we're playing against ten men who are absolutely gassed? Perfect example.

 

[Furball]

I could've sworn United had a man sent off...

 

[grecian]

Who are ****ter this year, Spurs or Liverpool? Arse would probably be in the reckoning too if it wasn't for the ***y Sanchez.

 

[Furball]

Spurs. Always Spurs.

 

[Uppercut]

Smalling's such an idiot. Of all our young players he's the one I'd most like to see given up on asap.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

United will get a win/draw.

Nice Gambhiring in the football thread.

It's the first booking I just don't get, as soon as that happened I should have jumped in on him being sent off. The 2nd booking was just a bad attempt at winning the ball but I'm not sure what he was hoping to achieve with jumping in front of Hart.

Although having said that, I've never understood why what Smalling did merits a foul and a booking in the first place.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah the first was definitely stupider. The second one would be excusable if he hadn't already been booked but it's so, so stupid to do on a booking.

I only saw the first half, but jesus Michael Oliver is a **** referee.

 

[grecian]

Flintoff's save obviously being given too much coverage, but why are people saying he kissed the Citeh badge, he clearly didn't.

Yeah agree with all of this, I don't really get why his first booking is a booking, but that is the law and he knows it so it is a monumentally stupid thing to do.

Nice Gambhiring in the football thread.

Don't know what that means but the way we played in the last 20 minutes they probably should have.

 

[grecian]

Don't know what that means but the way we played in the last 20 minutes they probably should have.

Gambhiring is a term in cricketchat that pertains to someone deliberately underestimating an opponent hoping for a positive result. Meh, I do it all the time as an Exeter, somerset and England fan because I believe it will all end in tears, all the time.

 

[sledger]

Alexis is such an important player for Arsenal. I love how despite being rather diminutive in terms of height he's built like a brick ****house and strong as a carthorse, but also just ridiculously good in terms of technique and ability. Players who are top athletes in their own right but whose game isn't built exclusively around their physicality are probably my absolute favourites. WAG

 

[BoyBrumby]

Today's awkward stat: Fabregas (£30m) has already got as many assists this season as Ozil (£42m) managed in 2013/14.

On any Arsenal board they're crying every time Cesc scores or assists a goal. Don't do this to us here, please.

edit: Oh and he has 2 goals and 11 assists in 13 games so far.

There was a crazy stat a couple of weeks back that Cristiano Ronaldo had outscored 93% of all European clubs at all levels by himself this season

Best one was that between the last 2 goals Aston Villa scored Ronaldo had scored 20.

It would just be a pain if people were ****ing about in front of the keeper every time he got the ball in his hands.

 

[Furball]

Keepers can throw it. I don't get why they're entitled to put the ball 60 yards unchallenged everytime they get it.
