Other football - 2017/18 edition.

[aRdja]

Nervy. Nearly gifted Werner a goal in the first minute.

 

Gomez on now.

Subbed off??

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Big fan of his. Best possible like-for-like replacement for Phil.

 

I like that Veartti from PSG/Italy. Looks so comfortable on the ball and has a great engine prowling that CM but getting forward. 

[aRdja]

Soz, I just checked it was Phil Jones who got hooked

[SammyAftershave]

I'll be keeping an eye on Loftus Cheek.

 

You kinky bastard.

Perfect replacement for Can.

 

*coughs*

[Hand Shandy]

Jones was injured, not hooked. Not that I care that much.

[Grinch]

Stuck in a taxi when god save the queen was on the radio, still feel dirty.

 

Shall be sticking on nevermind the bollocks when I get home.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Jones was injured, not hooked. Not that I care that much.

 

Yep, hope he's out for the busy period, shitcoat will be fuming. 

[Red House]

I like that Veartti from PSG/Italy. Looks so comfortable on the ball and has a great engine prowling that CM but getting forward.

He's pretty much the best cm in the world alongside Modric at the moment.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Sweden v Italy 0-0 at H/T. Not a bad contest but I can only remember Sweden with one shot on target, 1 from Italy as well. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

He's pretty much the best cm in the world alongside Modric at the moment.

 

Not really watched much French football this season, he is a class above though. 

[Hand Shandy]

Yep, hope he's out for the busy period, shitcoat will be fuming.

Had loads of strapping on his hamstring, so hopefully it was an existing problem. Will make Shitcoat's anger all the more amusing.

[SammyAftershave]

Italy missed a headed sitter in the first few minutes. It was almost Matip-like.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Especially being as Jones stayed on after the initial bout of limping. 

[niallers]

The bitters will be back on the "pickford is the greatest keeper in the history of the universe" lines again. Made 2 decent saves which he should have made.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Clive nearly came in his pants. 

[Harry Squatter]

Spare a tbought for a few of the UK-based Aussies this week. Flying from the UK to Honduras for the 1st leg, then a trip to Australia for the return leg on Wednesday before being back in the UK again for next weekend's games!

 

Professional or not, a round-the-world flight with a couple of high-stakes games thrown in has to be brutal on the body, especially for those usually starting for their respective teams.

 

Situations like this are how physios earn their pay, I suppose.

New Zealand as well playing Peru in Auckland then Lima.

He's better than our keepers.

[SammyAftershave]

Low bar.

There's was one against Stoke in the first game of the season and they were going on about it being as good as Gordon Banks' save from Pele. When it got shown it was at waist height near the centre of the goal but he chose to palm it away for a corner.

[Trumo]

STFU Hoddle with your half an inch, prick. 

 

Judicious use of the comma there.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Judicious use of the comma there.

 

It probably works just as well without the comma mate. 

[Trumo]

While far from brilliant, it's actually been a better game than any of England's qualifiers.

[SammyAftershave]

Period.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

While far from brilliant, it's actually been a better game than any of England's qualifiers.

 

The young lads haven't been that bad, Germany just using it as a kick about though and realistically should be ahead. The pundits forget that this is far from Germany's starting 11.
