Other football - 2017/18 edition.

[Carvalho Diablo]

How was that foul for the penna not judged to be a straight red?

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Been quite impressed by Wigan though.

 

They play some nice stuff, keeping it on the floor.

 

But, as there's only a few minutes left, they should lump that Burn grock at the back up front.

[Thoth]

Ah well they tried

[Elite]

Mancs will definitely get Southampton next round.

Paul Cook makes Sean Dyche sound like mickey mouse

[sir roger]

Maybe one for the ' Shitness of Football ' thread but Paul Cook used to be on a YTS ( ask your dad ) scheme in the mid-1980's when he was with Wigan ( I think ) as an apprentice.

 

All of the various trainees on the scheme who lived in Kirkby ( Mainly apprentice factory workers from AC Delco & wherever) used to have to come in to our bank branch on the Friday, sign a chitty , get their name ticked off a list and were given £27.50 in an envelope ( I think it was £10 more than the dole money at the time ).

 

Other than the Academy being based in Kirkby there doesn't seem to be much correlation with the way trainees are looked after these days.

What does Danny Murphy sound like these days?

[Trumo]

Is it just me, or has every single FA Cup game been shite this season? You getmore entertainment in the League Cup or the group stage of the Europa League. VAR is not a factor.

 

Speaking of, I don't know if they are using VAR in this game but if Vardy scores thanks to the intervention of the technology, how long before somebody calls him VARdy?

[aRdja]

Bakayoko is properly shit.

[lifetime fan]

The fuck is Moses doing with his hair.

 

He looks like a my little pony.

[Trumo]

What does Danny Murphy sound like these days?

 

Him and Danny Mills are obviously in thrall to the real gobshite managers like Mourinho, Allardyce and Hodgson.

[aRdja]

Willian is class.

[lifetime fan]

Willian is some fucking player.

 

Would love him here.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Willian is some fucking player.

 

Would love him here.

Yup, same. Some goal that.

[aRdja]

Linked with us, medical with Spurs, signed for Chelsea. Obviously a cunt, but can play football.

Considering he went to Anzhi from Shakhtar before moving to England, his mercenary status was already assured.

[Trumo]

I saw the story about Sunderland's Darron Gibson being done for drink driving after crashing into and writing off 4 cars. He's probably got more points on his licence than Sunderland have managed all season.

[TheHowieLama]

Bit harsh on him there Trumo -- Anzhi sold their whole side.

[Jairzinho]

Considering he went to Anzhi from Shakhtar before moving to England, his mercenary status was already assured.

 

You're such a cynic. How do you know he didn't grow up wanting to emulate Ruslan Agalarov?

[Trumo]

Going to Anzhi is what made him a mercenary in the first place. They spent a shitload on players like Willian, Eto'o and Zhirkov before having a fire sale a year or two later when their billionaire owner pulled the plug on the financing.

[aRdja]

Bakayoko subbed off at half time. Lol.

[lifetime fan]

How many modern players aren’t money driven?

 

I’d rather have money driven quality footballers than money driven shit ones.

[Jennings]

Keita just scored.

[Jennings]

The Leipzip manager has come as Clouseau.

[Trumo]

Has anyone ever seen Albrighton and Shelvey in the same room? The Leicester man looks like Shelvey in a wig!
