*Official* English Football Season 2022/23

[Pothas]

Did that actually happen?

Hate losing humdingers

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Everton get funnier. Stewards having to protect the players from their own fans.

 

[GIMH]

The only downside is that the Southgate haters are already out in force over Toney not making the WC squad, and will probably keep at it unless England win the thing. Good player, and I'd take him at Palace in a heartbeat, but it's hardly a scandal that Wilson and Rashford will be on the plane instead of him.

I wonder if the betting scandal is why he never got the call

 

[Pothas]

I doubt it, is not like they didn't know about it before. Would have loved for him to go but it is no bad thing for us. Rico Henry should absolutely be going though.

The Potter myth continues to unravel. They’ve looked vulnerable at the back since he took over. Now they’re just generally disorganised.

I wasn’t gonna say because nobody likes a gloater, but you went awfully quiet about Potter when Brighton got good just like everyone else said they would.

I never agreed that their pretty possession based football and cartload of missed chances made them good, but accepted that others liked them and left it at that. During his reign they generally had a clump of wins and went months without winning at all. Even their own fans were booing last season.
But besides that having an irrational dislike of certain individuals is all part of being a football fan.

IIRC you wanted them to stick with Chris Hughton. Last seen bottom of the Championship with a Nottingham Forest squad that ended up getting promoted.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

That's really dredging the barrel. At that time Houghton had got them promoted and kept them up and I didn't think he deserved to be sacked. That was nothing to with Potter. But he then had them playing prettier football, but the results weren't any better.

Paul Heckingbottom, Chris Houghton, one whatsapp group

That's really dredging the barrel. At that time Houghton had got them promoted and kept them up and I didn't think he deserved to be sacked. That was nothing to with Potter. But he then had them playing prettier football, but the results weren't any better.

You say the results weren’t any better but I don’t remember Brighton finishing 9th under Hughton? Did you literally just black out an entire season where you were proven wrong?

You insisted on dragging up Chris Houghton out of nowhere. They had a bad run and he was sacked. The following season results were no better.

 

[sledger]

Oh man Man Utd have totally robbed Fulham there

 

[sledger]

It'll be great if this Garnacho **** turns out to be the next Dan James/Januzaj/Macheda rather than Ronaldo though

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I think Utd have reasons to be optimistic, which is always annoying. Especially with a six week break coming up.

I've got a funny feeling LT was fuming when Southampton sacked whatever nobody they had as manager to hire Poch.

 

[Furball]

Ronaldo basically begging United to sack him is pretty funny.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I don’t think I was fuming. I probably did say that I believe managers should deserve to be sacked before losing their job. I still believe that. In Southampton’s case they sacked the nobody who had just taken them up two divisions without giving him the chance in the PL. Most Southampton fans weren’t impressed either.

To be fair, I thought that was a very harsh sacking at the time, even though bringing in Poch obviously proved a savvy move.
