*Official* English Football Season 2016-17

[Pothas]

Yeah the reserve Madrid front line up looks so good and is actually kind of likeable, it is weird.

According to the cretins of the SFA, being guilty of recklessly dangerous play should see a red card downgraded to a yellow.

Meanwhile, diving, which doesn't cause injury to anyone, gets you a 2 game ban.

 

[Pothas]

Well this has livened things up at least.

 

[cpr]

stupid as Fellaini is, it pains me to call that a headbutt. He stands still whilst Aguero walks up to him and then fall theatrically when Fellaini looks down at the little midget. That happens 5 times a match without the ref caring because people don't flail around.

WOB, Randesund division

(photo apparently from a Norwegian Cup match...gw lads, I guess even petrostate kids can't afford a helicopter)

Whole thing has become a complete meme. See Wenger Out banners at football matches on every continent, political rallies/demonstrations, other sporting events, concerts etc. There'll be references to it in films and tv shows soon.

I would say it was brain dead. Fell right into the trap Aguero baited.

More Total Football from Jose's team of entertainers then.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the men in suits.

You've misspelt 'corruption'

I'm so glad Brendon Rodgers is in Scotland. I hope he never infests the Premier League (or any English division) again.

 

[GIMH]

Up at 5 tomorrow, leave at 6, 500 mile round trip. For a dead rubber.

And then another 500 mile trip on Wednesday.

I thought if you went 250 miles from Tranmere in any direction you ended up in the sea.

That is what that league does to you.

Just had a text from a mate who supports Torquay excitedly informing me they finished 17th in the "Conference ". I guess sporting success is all relative.

 

[grecian]

Well, that's the play-offs then, should play our Yoof team next week, oddly will probably be the team we play in the semi-final, they'll be playing their full team, so tell the young uns to kick 'em off the park, even if they're all suspended shouldn't matter.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Was going to give Grimsby a miss next week, but will now have to make the trek with the Title up for grabs. Sign of getting old seeing the journey as a chore, but that's life.

Come on BFS, sort these ****ers out at half time. Too many of them playing like they think we're already safe afaics.

Get Benteke off. Oh hang on.........

 

[wpdavid]

That that's just abysmal. Concede a soft goal 7 minutes in, create nothing for the next 80 and then the sucker punch to seal the defeat.
if anyone can explain why we've been so poor at home to the weaker teams, BFS would love to hear it. For all the talk about us being too good to go down, home defeats to Swansea, Sunderland and Burnley suggest otherwise. The table doesn't lie, you know.

I think Sam is more adept at smothering the big boys than having to take the game to "lesser" opposition.
