Other football - 2017/18 edition.

Sky sports news main headline too was "Advantage United!" How is it? If anything it's dead level given that United's home advantage is negated by the chance of Seville to get an away goal that United didn't! Fucking media Wankers

All this clap trap would make more sense with a 1-1 or 2-2, but 0-0 is very line ball.

[Grinch]

Allison made an even better save than De Gea’s for Roma right at the end.

Dont see the fuss over the Degea save. Routine really, id even back migs keep it out.

Steady on, Mignolet making an important save is heresy.

[Harry Squatter]

Man Utd fans away in Seville in a Champions League match singing "will Greggs is on fire" about his goal knocking Man City out of the FA Cup on Monday. No wonder Evertonians have a common bond with them.

McManaman is sounding more and more like Robbie Savage nowadays. For some reason, he expects 100% passing accuracy, immaculate ball control in any situation, and every attempt at goal to hit the target, with anything in the six yard box finding the net. Not even the very best teams and players are capable of that. Whenever Savage is doing co-commentary, every single thing a player does is met with the comment "must do better", in a high pitched whine.

Mcmanaman commenting on poor finishing. Fuck me wants to go back and watch himself infront of goal.

You always hear that

They act like 0-0 away is a great result. It was in the old days of going behind the iron curtain. Its a good/decent result away at the biggest clubs. But far from a advantage. Still expect them through but a goal from Sevilla to go one up will put the cat amongst the pigeons for sure

Gets even funnier when you hear the likes of Danny Mills & Kevin Kilbane talking as if they were Gerd Muller

You need a bit of that.

 I think 0-0 away from home is a dangerous result in a first leg. I'd say it's 50/50.

[Grinch]

Interesting hearing Strachan say a player will be allowed to do anything by players, managers and fans if he's successful on the pitch. Referenced the Cantona kick.

Agreed, need I say the words 'Brondby', 'Dan', and 'Eggen'?

He said something like that when he was a studio pundit at the last World Cup. I think it was after Suarez bit Chiellini. The presenter was obviously angling for Strachan to come out with a typical moral high ground response, but Strachan pointed out that there are no morals in football.

Found a Youtube clip of that. The attacking player was wrongly flagged offside too!

[Lee909]

Strachan is nearly always spot on when talking about football.

Set of moralising pricks. Strachan is bang on the money.

Similar sketch re Rugby League on SSN yesterday when they were talking to Brian Carney about Zak Hardaker being sacked by Castleford for drugs offences. They then awaited the moral condemnation & had faces like smacked arses when Ashton confirmed there would be a scramble for his services after his ban & Wigan were already sniffing around.

Wasn't there a Brazilian footballer who was convicted of murdering his girlfriend and was then offered new contracts when he got out of jail pending appeal?

[Grinch]

Rugby must be rife with drug abuse. Of the performance boosting kind.

It is, it's rife in all sports. There will always be ways to beat the system and remain undetected.

[Bjornebye]

Big game for Celtic coming up.

[Grinch]

Big game for Celtic coming up.

Hope they get beat.

[Bjornebye]

Hope they get beat.

I hope Stone Cold Steve Austin tracks you down.

 

Then fucks you.

[Bjornebye]

Fucking hell 1 nil Zenit already

[Grinch]

Some dreadful defending from Celtic so far.

 

This games got me thinking of that superb Suarez free kick against Zenit.
