***Official*** English Football Season 2018-19

Liverpool v Chelsea clearly the tie of the round. Some game that will be even with reserves out.

 

[sledger]

Brentford coming to the Emirates.

Definite CW meet up in the offing here.

 

[Furball]

Tough enough draws for United, Liverpool, and Spurs.

Will take it though. My age makes United-Juve the Champions League tie for me.

Group D was ****ing pants.

Group D was ****ing pants.

All 4 will fancy their chances of qualifying. Could actually be the most entertaining group to watch even if the games aren't as high in quality.

 

[Spikey]

some of these ratings are a bit friendly. the santa cruz, sinclair, bony trifecta deserves zero

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The worst part about Bony is that we signed him instead of Dybala.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

When you look at the amount spent by City and then saw what Pep inherited it really was poor. A great side going forward but very little depth to the squad and a dodgy defence. All that seems to have been rectified now and they have a serious chance in Champions League providing De Bruyne comes back fit and firing after his injury and doesn't have a season of struggles with niggles etc...

 

[sledger]

Yeah, shows what happens when your transfer strategy is more than "buy all the players" (I.e. Hughes and Mancini)

Not as good as my lot a few years ago, our keeper saved one about a yard off the line and the linesman flagged it crossed the line. We missed out on promotion by a point and Wycombe were the beneficiaries of the phantom goal against us and only went up because of the dropped points.

OUCH

Nah.

Search Les Mottram on YouTube. Partick Thistle vs Dundee Utd in 1992. goal is scored by Dundee Utd, ball bounces out off the back Stantion, Thistle defender catches the ball and passes it to the goalkeeper, who punts it away in frustration.

Referee waves play on, ignoring both the goal that has been scored and the deliberate handball.

 

[Burgey]

OMG I just looked it up. Unbelievable

 

[GIMH]

If you having striker troubles I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems but the country’s top scorer ain’t one

Norwood’s on fire ?

 

[Furball]

As much as the team needed a break, I ****ing hate international breaks.

If Hazard continues this form it'll make the fact he played for six years under defensive coaches at Chelsea a mini-tragedy.

If Hazard continues this form it'll make the fact he played for six years under defensive coaches at Chelsea a mini-tragedy.

Going by Match of the Day highlights, Chelsea are very good at the moment. Even Kante's allowed to get forward and have a go. This would presumably be useful for Hazard in terms of making space and whatnot.

 

[GIMH]

**** Chelsea, the ****ing whites yo

 

[sledger]

I am not sure what I am enjoying more at the moment: the fact that Arsenal have started to win or the fact that West Ham are lolbad and will surely lose again today.

 

[sledger]

Also, Laca, Auba and Ozil all in the same team is so gun.

I am not sure what I am enjoying more at the moment: the fact that Arsenal have started to win or the fact that West Ham are lolbad and will surely lose again today.

Within the next month or so, West Ham face Chelsea, Man Utd and Spurs. They'll be rioting soon.
