***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

Is he being less of a prat on the field this season, seemed to get sent off every other week last.

Some of those cards were absolute shite though tbf. Was being targetted.

Saints being annihilated is an understatement. This is some team that Rodgers has got together.

Is he being less of a prat on the field this season, seemed to get sent off every other week last.

While he didn't help himself he was often refereed to a different standard.

He gets involved in less petulant shite but as we saw at the weekend against Hearts (which was his first domestic booking of the season), the second he does show the tiniest bit of frustration, the cards come straight out.

Rogers is responsible for very few of the signings.

Yeah I know. I wasn't talking about the personnel but how he has taken them to next level.

Small sample size of games but they are playing better than what they did when they won the league. Rest of the contenders were pretty ordinary by their standards that season.

Well anyone who's got Leicester attacking players (ie not me) has had a cracking start to their fantasy weekend.

Looking forward to the think-pieces from journos about how Leicester racking up 9 is disrespectful and the end of competitive football.

How long till Southampton sack the manager?

Hardly improved them has he in his time there.

Rumours it could happen pretty soon, but I’d be reluctant unless he’s really lost the players. It was a real coup getting him in.

The journalistic equivalent of ticket inspectors on public transport

They've been absolute trash ever since he was appointed. They got away with it last year because the bottom three were so poor and Brighton slumped so badly over the second half of the season.

Quite. Surely the definition of good management is getting the most from the players at your disposal. Whatever people's views of Rogers previous track record, he's doing brilliantly with this Leicester squad. Way better than how they had done during the couple of years before he was appointed.

Not a definition I would use to describe our (Plymouth) current manager. 4-0 defeat at Exeter the culmination of a season of acute embarrassment so far. Ryan Lowe = big hat and no knickers.

Ouch. I should be commiserating, but my time at Exeter Uni means I still have a soft spot for the Grecians.

****ing Guardiola bringing on Aguero for a pointless 15 minutes.

 

[anil1405]

While VAR is a good addition, the decision making surrounding VAR seems pathetic at this moment. Manchester City's 2nd goal was initially awarded to deBruyne but later changed to David Silva, in which case the goal should have been ruled out because Sterling was in play for that goal and was off-side.

Sunderland losing to Shrewsbury
