(Football) Soccer thread (English Premier League, Champions League)

[Texas1]

It’s not an issue at all. I don’t take online stuff seriously, especially football. Was just banter

 

i lost my dad couple of years ago to lewy Parkinson’s and dementia.

 

condolences to you and your family. More important things in life

[scruffynick]

Thank you... You're OK for large parts then you see something that gives you a good memory and bang it hits you.... Part of getting old

[scruffynick]

City... Flippin eck! Not sure what to make of it

[Texas1]

Apparently it’s the tip of the iceberg. There is really creative accounting going on. Not only that but they are paying wages from offshore accounts to players to get round FFP

 

they are like that bin man that won the lottery in the uk. Used to have a lot of time for their fans back in the day. Now they appear to be all ex chavs etc

[NRJyzr]

That whole City thing is crazy. It could really gut their team, if CAS doesn't overturn or nerf the decision.

Not quite keeping with the theme of the thread, but I could see PSG having trouble with FFP, also.

[scruffynick]

Well I've woke up to some sad news, a real legend and hero of munich died peacefully yesterday..... Harry Gregg, you will be sorely missed x

 

[scruffynick]

How rude I'm a bin mon... But I get the point, pity our little syndicate doesn't win the lottery! But yeah, the city thing is just well, hard to get my head around.

I mean next season could get messy if not sorted soon. What if sheff utf finish 5th and it all up in the air come September?? Also if found guilty and guilty for years and years, surely the teams that finished second will be awarded with them titles? What would Rodgers, Sir Alex, wegner and Jose think of it all?

Anyway, in a horrid season it's making me laugh as the city fans aren't so arrogant all of a sudden... Especially at work ha ha united are crap but we're clean crap

[Texas1]

Wasn’t meant as a slight on bin men at all. Just that one guy in the uk. If I could be bothered googling his name I would, but I can’t and I won’t.

he won 11m, spent it all on hookers, drugs and parties. Blew the lot in 5 years. Funny all the hangers on disappeared when the money ran out

 

he turned a leafy suburb into a race track as he built a dirt track around his 2m house

 

thats what that club remind me of

[scruffynick]

Sounds about rite, now pep is saying he's staying no matter what...... Have this feeling city will get it reduced to 1 year and basically get away with it

[NRJyzr]

I hope not. I think they should have the Python 16 ton weight dropped on them.

Amuses me to hear them try to play the victim. LOL

[scruffynick]

Can united play Chelsea and City every week.... Might be OK then. Great win and great win in houour of Harry Gregg

[Golfingfanatic]

Looks like this Håland guy is pretty good...?

[scruffynick]

I see the empyhad lived up to its name last night, deary me that's embarrassing. Barely half full, nice to see the berties support their team when needed and they say they don't cook the book ha ha

[Texas1]

officially 50k turned up, no doubt

they are giving up 1000’s of tickets away each week and the owners are buying the remaining ones. Brilliant way to .......

[Texas1]

I knew this league wasn’t over

will we do what we have done in the past and fold like a cheap hand

 

shocking lol

[scruffynick]

Not getting a treble either.... But 22 points, utterly no chance of blowing that. City have to win all 12 games too.... Which they wont. Relax title is done and the wait is over

[Texas1]

I knew we wouldn’t get a treble. Almost everything has to fall into place

 

Almost impossible, you’ve done one and we did one back in the day but the league cup instead of fa cup

 

to do that is more impressive than any unbeaten run

we let the outside talk get to us. Well time will tell

[scruffynick]

Oh dear Jose has really gone... Good one Delia and her boys!!

[scruffynick]

77 the year I was born and stopped pol winning the treble..... With the most deflected shot in fa cup final history. Seen it so many times and I'm still not sure how the winning goal went in, heading for the corner flag and took 2 deflections

[Texas1]

when he joined your lot I said it was a huge mistake on your part

man has been passed his sell by date since Madrid

[Texas1]

Yeah one of the scabbiest goals ever ?

Think you’ll win the derby tomorrow as cities defence hate speed on the counter. Just hope the ref calls all the tactical fouls by them

[NRJyzr]

It's a strange feeling having to cheer for a Man Utd win, which is where I'll find myself tomorrow.....

LOL

[scruffynick]

The atmosphere inside old trafford on Sunday was something else and I've seen most over the years. Maybe because it's been poor for a good while, so the red mancs didn't half celebrate..... And pool tonight, can't help but laugh

[Texas1]

didnt take you long

seems all Mancs are more interested in our results ?

never change ?

next you’ll be joining pep in wanting this year to be wiped from history ?

[Golfingfanatic]

Unless they postpone the Euros I cannot see a way for them to finish the league and the European cups.

[scruffynick]

I think that's going to happen on what's been heard this evening by various media outlets. Be euro 2021 as the seasons must end even if it goes in July, there's just too much money involved with top 4, promotions and relegations... We'll all in the dark and we'll have to wait and see. I think after the Merseyside Derby the prem will stop for at least 2 weeks and there's a international break... With no games, so I'm hoping come early April things will start getting back to normal.... Fingers crossed eh

[scruffynick]

Needed a laugh... Ole might win 2 cups!

[Texas1]

Haha that made me laugh ?

[Golfingfanatic]

We'll see Tuesday what happens with the Euros. But I imagine the CL is more important to UEFA. Makes a Lot more money, I think.

Nevertheless I doubt we see actual matches being played till May.

[Texas1]

The statement from Klopp and all of our first team making up the food bank donations that normally happen on match days.

 

Best manager in the world and nice to see the players step up. Brilliant
