Soccer/Football Thread Part 3

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

what the hell.

In fairness, Liverpool had Jordan Henderson playing CB like 3 days ago. The fact that they were even able to remain competitive and in the hunt with the CBs they had to play is fairly impressive.

 

[Jack Straw]

In my opinion this sucks

 

[Jack Straw]

Lampard out at Chelsea. Surprised but not surprised.

Lampard out at Chelsea. Surprised but not surprised.

Embarrassing. Not because I think he was a great manager, but because of the unceremonious way the club went about it. Bad run of form and you're out -- I expected a legend who was getting the play (i believe we would be in third by rating for xGF, if you belive in such a thing), but not the result would be slotted more time. Especially when he had a 72M player forced on him that he didn't want.

Ah well, what are you gonna do.

Lol Chelsea.
Lol Liverpool
Lol Arsenal


2021 is awesome.

Would have been at the City vs West Brom game tomorrow in the away end if fans were allowed...

 

[Appleyard]

Even as a City fan...
And someone of (distant) Algerian descent...

this made me laugh a lot.

 

[Starat327]

What in sweet hell is this lineup?

 

[Jack Straw]

Ya Blades!

 

[BritainStix]

Football is shit anyway

 

[Appleyard]

As a City fan whose 2nd team are Sheffield United (lived there for over 4 years)...

that was fun.

As someone who is in misery, ill take whatever company I can get.

Pickford with another howler today, but Everton didn’t really deserve 3 points despite a moment of class by James.

 

[Jack Straw]

Wow. Leeds about to take down Leicester.

 

[kudymen]

Sooo ummm that Messi contract

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Sooo ummm that Messi contract

Yeah, Messi makes way more in salary then I thought he did.

Arguably worth every penny, though.

Guy could buy a new, strongly needed subway line for Prague and get some of us free tickets for life.

Barcelona are 1.2 billion euros in debt.

Messi acounts for just over a third of that debt....

 

[Appleyard]

Hope the Blades can pull it off...

Lol VAR. 90+4, Haaland scores to make it 3:1 for Dortmund. Ref looks at video, sees a penalty-worthy foul on the other side of the field in the prior moments. Calls penalty for Paderborn, game is 2:2 instead and goes to OT.

 

[BritainStix]

United just won 9-0. Three incorrect calls in the game, united robbed of a goal from an early whistle, then Saints absolutely robbed from the most ridiculous offside VAR call i've ever seen. Then to compound things, the refs give a penalty and a sending off when Martial clearly has a heavy touch and dives.

Refs really aren't covering themselves in glory right now.

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Wild first half for Everton. Leeds is a great addition to the league because they are such a mess and it makes for compelling viewing.
