Soccer/Football Thread Part 3

This season is barmy.

When was the last time United led the Prem?

As January 12th? Probably should be leading after that day.

There is an article on Sky making a claim that Bruno is the new Cantona....2021 off to a crazy start!

 

[PDX Flyer]

Lol, yes, Lloris was there. And yeah, it's crazy to think about how long it's been since Modric and then Bale left.

Wait...Modric left first? Wouldn’t have said that either!

Edit: if you say he played with Klinsman I’m going to rehab

 

[Starat327]

Wait...Modric left first? Wouldn’t have said that either!

Yeah, a few years too. 5 or 6 maybe? I don't remember what year they were. I think bale was 13?

Had to look up. Modric 2012. Bale 2013. Right around my hey day of Oregon weed. Now it all makes sense

You're right. I was thinking of when modric got to spurs, apparently.

Awful few months in terms of deaths of legendary players...

Man City legend Bell dies aged 74

Man City's greatest ever player - Colin Bell - just passed away.

From 1966-1975 was arguably England's best midfielder after Charlton... similar type of player to a Steven Gerrard. 10-20 goals a year from midfield for his entire 10 year prime.

One of the first international players to take fitness and nutrition very seriously as well.

Looks like Leeds tried to rotate their squad in the FA Cup and failed miserably. Going to be interesting to see if they can keep their pace a play up in the League with such a small squad. This busy part of the schedule will tell the tale

The schedule condenses considerably around Christmas, so they're past the hardest part, especially with fewer Cup commitments now.

Yeah guess I was thinking of trying to squeeze in FA Cup, CL etc... still though with that pressing style, very interested to see how they hold up down the stretch

 

[PDX Flyer]

How is United top of the table? PL off this year? They are so inconsistent and lack clinical finishing. 2021

 

[Appleyard]

Phil Foden with his 8th of the season.

City top scorer right now.

From midfield. At 20.

If he leads United to 5 premier league titles in 6 years, 2 FA cups. Then we can anoint him the prince, until then he's just on a very good hot streak.

Theres only one King.

f***ing Spurs. Fulham draw, seriously??

Wonderful for Everton. It’s a logjam at the top of the table this year making for a compelling finish.

Stunning goal by Ndombele

Liverpool - Man United? Big game for 1st place in the standings in January? Better put it on Peacock!

I don't care since it's currently included in my package with Comcast, but what is the long term goal here? Does NBC really think that people are going to subscribe to Peacock just for EPL soccer? The number of people willing to do that has to be so low.

I subscribe to several things to watch games. Then I cancel once its over. Peacock will be no different, same with CBS all access once Chelsea are out.

I abhor the model, but at the end of the day, im not missing those games. If I thought boycotting it would work, I'd do it but I know thats not realistic.

Yeah, no idea why this game isn’t on cable. Hard core PL fans probably already subscribe to Peacock. So instead of Man U/Liverpool they’re showing yet another episode of Mecum auto auctions on NBCSN?

BUT THAT 67 SHELBYYYYYYY

 

[Jack Straw]

Feel bad for anyone who subscribed to Peacock just to watch that game.

Had a dream last night that City lost today against Villa 3-2... and that for some reason out of my control missed the game.

It is time for your dream to become reality.

 

[Appleyard]

Haha. Hopefully not.

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Burnley!

 

[Appleyard]

Sheffield United have as many points in their last five games as Liverpool do...

what the hell.
