Soccer/Football Thread Part 3

I guess we can both be ok with the result. Really wasn’t expecting 0-0 but both teams were pretty solid at the back.

Solid at the back - not something I'd have expected to hear in a chelsea game after the first few games of this season, but here we are.

Good match all around, if a little uneventful.

No sane person would have said that about Spurs last season either, Mourinho really has transformed this team. I no longer break out in a cold sweat when we're defending in the final third.

Damn.

Papa Bouba Diop dead at age 42.

Cult Premier League legend. And what a 2002 world cup he had. Great player.

Seemingly ALS was the cause.

 

[Jack Straw]

Fulham 2, Leicester 1. Wow.

 

[BigToe]

More terrible VAR

 

[Appleyard]

Prem is absolutely wacky to start this season.

Top of the table have dropped 9 points in the first 10 games.

Heading for a sub-80 point winner. Have only been 3 ever.

City have started the season comically and could be within 3 points after next game in effect.

 

[Starat327]

You gotta know when to hold em and when to fold em...

 

[Jack Straw]

DirecTV just dropped NBC? Wtf?

 

[BritainStix]

Bye bye West Ham. Moyes is such a dreadful manager.

 

[Starat327]

Here we go boys

 

[Starat327]

I regret everything.

 

[Jack Straw]

Boom. Leeds.

Boom. Leeds.

That's the first legit error I've seen Mendy make so I cant be too mad, I guess

 

[Jack Straw]

I wonder what the over/under on goals for this game is. I would say 5.

I'll take a 4-1w.

 

[Jack Straw]

Giroud scores every damn game I see him

 

[Starat327]

I cant figure out if Leeds makes the manbun a requirement to play on the team, or if their style is just caught in the time frame from when they were last in the PL.

Watching this game, i have to ask, @Appleyard ... is not being able to wear a mask correctly a UK thing, London thing, or just a Chelsea supporter thing?

My guess would be Chelsea supporter thing...

 

[Jack Straw]

I have to admit, it’s nice to see fans at the game again, even if they are Chelsea fans...

I mean, I put it in there as an option for a reason

Tbh it is super common all over. Like you go in a supermarket and probably 20% of people with masks just have them over their mouths.

But I would guess Chelsea fans have even a higher % than general population.

Comfortable win against a mid-table team!

It’s important to take care of the low hanging fruit.

They heard what the Millwall fans did and are trying their best to upstage the arch rivals
