***Official English Football Season 2021/22***

[Furball]

Yeah if only millions of people attended matches that didn’t involve the ‘big six’ each week and hence actually cared about things like the FA Cup hey

Those millions of fans go to league games. Not FA Cup games.

 

[GIMH]

What a terrible post

 

[grecian]

Now they've got rid of Bielsa does any neutral actually want Leeds to stay up, scummy club, scummy fans, treated the only good thing that happened to them scummily?

 

[sledger]

Didn't want them to stay up anyway

 

[Aritro]

They just got stuffed 4-0 at Villa Park, but you have to hand it to Southampton turning out in that yellow and blue kit. Great show of support for Ukraine.

 

[grecian]

Gawd that was a **** weekend for us, games in hands are nice, but in our customary 8th place.

They’re in the middle for me, wouldn’t hate it either way. The league loses a bit when they go down, I’ll never go out of my way to watch Burnley v Chelsea, but Leeds v Chelsea sounds like a game. They’ve been consistently fun to watch too.

But yeah OTOH they are still Leeds.

I, has someone who's been to their ground, just think their rep as Neanderthal thugs is quite deserved, so found myself shocked at liking them because of Bielsa, and the fun of them seems to have stemmed from Bielsa.

Oh and Chelsea fans chanting about RA, during Ukranian moments of applause does show why I do hope the scummy club just becomes a midtable nonsense, like The Irons, who actually look like they'll get a point here.

 

[sledger]

I think we all hope Chelsea go down the pan

But it's clearly not going to happen

 

[Pothas]

Winning at football is so fun.

 

[GIMH]

We wore blue shorts with our yellow kit because of Ukraine today

also we lost. Again. Who thought making us play four out of five games away was a good idea?

Play-offs at best is the likely route but I hold onto hope nonetheless

 

[grecian]

Well, going down the pan totally is almost certainly not going to happen, but honestly there's nothing that really puts them ahead of West ham, Arsenal or the spuds when you take away RA's money. TBH not like they haven't fallen massively behind Citeh and Liverpool in the League anyway, an old decaying ground, players that probably aren't worth what they bought them for.

Oh I'll admit it's wishful thinking, but honestly I can see them not challenging for the title again. Owners Like Abramovich are pretty rare, changed the face of English football rare. Oh and they'll be outspent by Newcastle next year,

Chelsea were way in advance of dung like West Ham even before the crook took over. They’d won domestic cups, the European Cup Winners Cup and been in the latter stages of the CL in the years just preceding his arrival. It was nothing like Man City who’d won nothing for about 35 years before the benefactors moved in.

 

[grecian]

I'm allowed to dream, the fact is we have a different landscape partly created by Roman. Serious Oil-rich nations, plus Liverpool and Man U, who have more potentiual income.

We'll see, but honestly there are enough Billionaires in English football, particularly Yank ones that aren't that interested in investing mega-bucks once they buy clubs, just milking them, another Stan Kroenke would be what they deserve IMHO.

Hey we'd won the Championship in 01-02

Jesse Marsh is an American disciple of the Ragnick way. Don't know how much that helps.

don't trust a guy who wants to coach DE-fense

True. Some City fans still trace the modern era back to the Third Division Play Off Final against Gillingham.

The ones in my neck of the woods don't even know Shaun Goater or Sun ji Hai

Isn't this a slightly tired argument nowadays though, Goater Last played for Citeh 18 years ago, I'm bloody certain many Exeter fans couldn't remember Gareth Sheldon, hey I barely can. It was a fun fact to beat nouveau fans with as they started following them just after the money flowed in, but a little pointless now.
