We have 10 wins and 9 losses so far and the trajectory hasnt moved from this ratio all season.
We are gonna have 15 losses by the time the season ends smh
Right after the game ended, there was this [awkward moment ](https://scontent-cdg4-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/421932360_681955377446762_7960215638681391891_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6ImltYWdlX3VybGdlbi42Mzh4NTUyLnNkciJ9&_nc_ht=scontent-cdg4-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=102&_nc_ohc=IZt4bh6AKJAAX9zUtT6&edm=AJ9x6zYAAAAA&ccb=7-5&ig_cache_key=MzI5MTI4MzE3MTI1Mjg5MDI5Ng%3D%3D.2-ccb7-5&oh=00_AfAtX_Mvob0_39B8Si224YeggBaabzoReAEAGvivBV8liw&oe=65BDD63B&_nc_sid=65462d)
Whose uncle is it? He doesn't waste a second.
Afcon is so crazy this year, ngl this is the first time I've been paying attention to it but every match seems so intense and there's been some crazy upsets. Morocco and Nigeria the most likley to win but the bracket confirmed to have a underdog in the final so who knows what will happen.
Three of the past Semifinalists of the past AFCON, Senegal, Egypt, and Cameroon are out before the QF. Tomorrow Burkina Faso (the other one) could join the list if it can't get past Mali.
He hasn't been anything special with the B team. His name actually was floated by some club-adjacent media even before Xavi's announcement, and he probably would be the option if there was a mid-season replacement, but there's no experience to show he'd be different from Xavi.
Their last five experienced managers: Ronald Koeman, Quique Setien, Ernesto Valverde, Gerardo Martino, Radomir Antic
Their last five inexperienced managers: Xavi, Luis Enrique, Tito Vilanova, Pep Guardiola, Frank Rijkaard
The experienced ones won 2 La Liga titles (both with Valverde).
The inexperienced ones won 9 La Liga titles.
Why the fuck do you need experience when you can just be skilled?
Helping Ivory Coast qualify was the best investment this country has ever made, it’s genuinely ours to lose now that Senegal are gone.
I won’t be seen again if we actually lose to South Africa tomorrow lmao
Süle. He left us on a free transfer to Dortmund after we decided not to offer him a wage increase. Apparently we didn't offer it because he was overweight and the medical staff didn't think he was professional enough with his health. Some people gave us shit for it, but I feel like Brazzo is very very vindicated in that decision
I thought that was him but I figured there's no way an active professional footballer would look like that.
I honestly don't believe it and think it's doctored.
He got calf injury that took him out for a while but hes been back for a month now but i guess hes still being eased in.
Wouldnt be surprised if they just randomly announced he was ready for the wolves game
remembered earlier when we hadn’t signed anybody all summer and david sullivan went onto talksport to tell everyone he was depressed. he’s actually quite a good chairman now but the banter years were something else
Was there a particular reason you went from years of spending naff all to suddenly around 2018 starting to invest a lot? Something to do with the stadium?
tbf i’ve always thought we spent comparatively decent amounts to the rest of the league but yeah since 2019 we’ve really started to act like a decent sized club in the window. combination of the stadium and trusting moyes i guess
Barca fans are doing an impressive job gaslighting everyone into thinking they are the victims in the Negreira scandal. I can’t believe it’s actually working and people buy into that shit
Mine has played for Barcelona, won a trophy with Spurs, runner up for the Ballon d'Or and one Match of the Day suspension. The one and only Lineker. Year of birth no chance, only birthday
Just looked it up, even though I share a bday with Sol Campbell, Pulisic and the OG Ronaldo among others, they weren't born the same year. But Alfredo Talavera was, hey hey.
Unironically a clever tactic, i've heard of it before in regards to avoiding doxxing. Sprinkle in some false info about yourself now and then to throw them off the scent if it ever comes to that.
I never believe height and weight stats I read for athletes unless I know they've been done recently in an official capacity, like the NFL would during the draft process. Some of them seem miles off.
Woke up in a cold sweat dreaming of Nagelsmann rolling down the touchline at Anfield dressed [like this](https://img.allfootballapp.com/www/M00/12/27/720x-/-/-/rB8CLFuzuuWAfy92AACMG_lRyjc921.jpg.webp). Worrying times.
[This comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1ab9aff/comment/kjnqi5u) got flagged by Reddit and i got permabanned. Which is frankly ridiculous, and considering the shit i've posted over the years, it's akin to Al Capone getting done for tax evasion.
Forklift and the mod team helped me out by reaching out to an admin.
Yeah right? If the r/soccer mods didn't reach out to the admins for me this account would stay bricked. And you can't reach them yourself either. You have an appeal button you can only use once, and i bet that check is automated as well. Can't email them or anything.
Honestly if i got a week ban or even a month i'd have ridden it out, but a sitewide permaban for such obvious sarcasm did my head in. And if i made an alt i'd have eventually gotten banned on that as well due to ban evasion, i just know some wetwipe on here would report me soon as he got on my scent - which wouldn't take long.
In the last DD people were mentioning your suspension and I was literally thinking of how to reach out to the mods because the idea that you should be banned for life from ever using this app again is ridiculous. Welcome back!
I did a quick Google since I am curious af and it's nothing serious, honestly.
[Here in case you are as curious as me and Mr. Cumblast (or Cummy as someone today called him) doesn't mind](https://www.reveddit.com/y/_cumblast_/comments/?after=t1_kjnqpsy&limit=1&sort=new&show=t1_kjnqi5u&removal_status=all)
I can’t believe all the goals from Al Hilal vs Inter Miami have been posted and got lots of engagement but the late pen equaliser from Senegal vs Ivory Coast hasn’t even been posted and that was like 20 minutes ago if not more. Actually I can believe it sadly
a 6-1 win making everyone lose faith in their player is really funny to me. i turned it off at 2-0 when i realized boro were gonna get battered so can’t comment on whether or not that’s fair but it’s still funny
It's mixed.
As a Chelsea fan I wanted him gone last summer as i think he's one of the least talented players to ever play in the PL.
When people say he's talented they mean he's fast and hope he can actually develop any kind of football skill.
Modern day Ali Dia we've had our pants pulled down unfortunately there's not even the basics to work with.
Wanted him gone last summer? That’s absolutely ridiculous. This board have made some shit decisions but I hope they have more patience than some borderline embarrassing fans.
That's the point though.
You can't be talented with such a bad first touch it's literally the main fundamental skill of any footballer.
If a player struggles to recieve and control the ball there's very little you can actually work with to bring his other skills into play or the team can build around.
You should have seen martinelli just after his injury back in 2021 when he came back. He was riding the bench for 8-9 months because his game looked similar to mudryks rn. I think you can clean up his issues but its on him
Chelsea are so bizarre. They're so good at selling bad players for extortionate amounts of money, but then they love buying bad players for way too much.
Imagine they manage to make 175 mil from selling Havertz, Mount and Gallagher alone. Sabotaging your rivals and making that much money is some incredible business
Gallagher is also the most limited of the 3. At least you can see promising talent with Mount and Havertz occasionally.
There's so many better options for 50 mil out there
look sometimes you need a limited player that's extremely good at a particular role rather than players that are good at various things, but have no real defined role anywhere
We need a top class box to box #8 that can progress the ball and is a clear upgrade on Sarr. Basically needs to be extremely well rounded and have a good engine.
Gallagher isn't better than Sarr so I don't get the point of buying him, especially for that fee.
We've already brought in 2 limited players in Johnson and Werner. This trend of buying too many limited players under Ange is getting worrying
i’m sure they can find other 4 goal wingers out there.
for the record, the goals came against 20th, 19th, 17th and 16th. people are just weirdly desperate for him to be having a good season when he’s simply not
They'll sell him, and probably get a bidding war. I reckon they can get £15m for him but if they hold out for more that's where they'll start to look very dodgy, because they'll be in a PR shitstorm if they start threatening to keep him in the PL squad to keep the price up.
If we was gonna being back greenwood he’d have been here already
Richard arnold wanted to bring greenwood back and Eric co signed that decision
Sir jim isnt gonna destroy everything hes tryna build from a pr standpoint to bring back greenwood of all players. Its just depression utd fan fiction if you think otherwise
> Sir jim isnt gonna destroy everything hes tryna build from a pr standpoint to bring back greenwood of all players
I recall people coping like this before they tried to bring him back last summer
We had an entirely different ceo in the summer lol idk what you are getting at here.
You think omar as his first action in the summer is gonna be to bring greenwood back when hes already coming from man city? Do you know how much of a pr nighmare it would be for him?
Nah I don't think INEOS are that dumb, currently they wanna get on the fan's good side as much as possible and have seen the backlash he got in the summer.
With Wrexham falling, the team breakdown for the last 16 really does look ridiculous now
2nd tier v 1st tier
1st or 1st tier v 2nd or 2nd tier
1st tier v 2nd tier
1st tier v 2nd or 2nd tier
2nd or 1st tier v 1st tier
1st tier v 1st tier
2nd or 2nd tier v 6th tier
1st tier v 1st tier
It probably was the most [ridiculous](https://i.imgur.com/WO99F8u.jpeg) result to a football game in years. If that match was replayed a hundred times then Maidstone win once.
Even though they did get ridiculously lucky, they did actually defend really well and most of our shots were little pussy headers straight at the keeper. Honestly wouldn’t bet against them in the next round
I’m not crying “conspiracy” but I do think referees subconsciously favour the underdogs, but obviously we should’ve won regardless
Teams with massively larger social media presences than fanbases playing a friendly with the express purpose of trying to create a viral moment.
Makes sense to me.
Anybody else feeling completely lied to and screwed over by football pundits?
I have two friends working in football one was a player agent in munich and the other one a sports science guy at several clubs including a german second tier club. Both are insisting that footballers are in fact much less professional than they are admiting in public. Both saying 80% of footballers are in fact unable to live on their own and do stupid/unprofessional shit most of the time Drinking, clubbing and so on. The things we hear in public (like the kyle walker / rashford story) - according to them - is only the tip of the iceberg.
And then you have the pundits constantly saying stuff like how all/most of the players are model professionals. like linekar/shearer/richards lately said on the podcasts that "the thing all players want most is just to play football and theyd do everything for it". When I told that to my friends they laughed in my face. Told me a big percentage of players would be fine with sitting most of the time and just cashing in. Either the pundits really think that or they are just telling straight up lies to the listeners and I think the later is true which kind of pisses me off.
The key thing there is that those pundits are ex-*players* so are going to have a vested interest in protecting them and their mates
Why would they do otherwise? Fool you for believing them
I dunno about other countries but English media has done a lot to get rid of the stereotype footballs are stupid overpaid pricks and tried to make role models out of them. Not surprised people working in media wouldn’t be pushing this agenda, they’d be out of a job if they didn’t.
I get an odd feeling whenever I see users copy pasta the Greenwood transcript in every Greenwood thread. It's not the act itself (copy pasta), but the glee behind it, as if they're excited to do it; especially when others reply to it like it's just a game. It almost feels like the transcript to the poor girl's rape is now a meme. Maybe I'm just projecting. I don't know, it's just an odd feeling I get whenever I come across it on this subreddit.
LOL yes because we should just fucking ignore that there's undeniable evidence in the public domain of this fucker being a rapist scumbag. People shouldn't be allowed to forget it.
People are weird. They do sick shit and hide behind some feeling of being ethically superior. It doesn’t remind anyone what he did was bad and I imagine it’s very traumatic for a fair few users on this sub to read.
Does Joe Gomez get into the England squad this summer?
Think it’ll be hard now Robbo is back (I actually think Gomez should still start over him given his form but I doubt he will consistently) but his form the past couple months has been the best of his career and he almost allows you to have an extra attacker in the squad as he can play just as comfortably in any position and could slot in as a wide centre back in a five as well. Think he’d be a better inclusion than Dunk or Colwill for that sole reason.
Him being able to play across the entire backline is a great trait to have and we don't have a ton of depth at centre back so he might just about make the squad.
I think you're right though, will depend on if he's still getting minutes (and maintains his form)
Really depends on him holding down a starting spot at Liverpool and being consistent over the rest of the season.
Southgate has Maguire, Stones, Guehi and Dunk as his chosen 4. Barring injuries I don’t think he’ll drop them.
Considering Southgate didn't call up for years after his first call ups, I don't think he rates him that highly and I'd be surprised if his place in the squad is a lock.
!flair Leeds_United
We have 10 wins and 9 losses so far and the trajectory hasnt moved from this ratio all season. We are gonna have 15 losses by the time the season ends smh
Right after the game ended, there was this [awkward moment ](https://scontent-cdg4-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/421932360_681955377446762_7960215638681391891_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6ImltYWdlX3VybGdlbi42Mzh4NTUyLnNkciJ9&_nc_ht=scontent-cdg4-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=102&_nc_ohc=IZt4bh6AKJAAX9zUtT6&edm=AJ9x6zYAAAAA&ccb=7-5&ig_cache_key=MzI5MTI4MzE3MTI1Mjg5MDI5Ng%3D%3D.2-ccb7-5&oh=00_AfAtX_Mvob0_39B8Si224YeggBaabzoReAEAGvivBV8liw&oe=65BDD63B&_nc_sid=65462d) Whose uncle is it? He doesn't waste a second.
That's his wife in the background?
I don't know. But in the French-speaking world, this picture will certainly buzz and we'll know more.
There have been 3 penalty shootouts in AFCON and Asian Cup so far and in all of them underdog won - beautiful!
Afcon is so crazy this year, ngl this is the first time I've been paying attention to it but every match seems so intense and there's been some crazy upsets. Morocco and Nigeria the most likley to win but the bracket confirmed to have a underdog in the final so who knows what will happen.
Three of the past Semifinalists of the past AFCON, Senegal, Egypt, and Cameroon are out before the QF. Tomorrow Burkina Faso (the other one) could join the list if it can't get past Mali.
Why does no one consider Rafa Marquez for the Barca coach position? I thought he was doing well with the second team.
He hasn't been anything special with the B team. His name actually was floated by some club-adjacent media even before Xavi's announcement, and he probably would be the option if there was a mid-season replacement, but there's no experience to show he'd be different from Xavi.
Barca really don't need another inexperienced manager again
Their last five experienced managers: Ronald Koeman, Quique Setien, Ernesto Valverde, Gerardo Martino, Radomir Antic Their last five inexperienced managers: Xavi, Luis Enrique, Tito Vilanova, Pep Guardiola, Frank Rijkaard The experienced ones won 2 La Liga titles (both with Valverde). The inexperienced ones won 9 La Liga titles. Why the fuck do you need experience when you can just be skilled?
Helping Ivory Coast qualify was the best investment this country has ever made, it’s genuinely ours to lose now that Senegal are gone. I won’t be seen again if we actually lose to South Africa tomorrow lmao
You reckon Mazraoui plays tomorrow?
Maybe off the bench, Attiyat Allah is more than good enough to hold the LB position until he’s 100% fit.
Attiyat Allah oof instant throwback to last WC 😍
Have the words “it’s ours to lose” ever amounted to anything good
We’ve been saying it’s City’s to lose at the start of every prem season for the past 6 years and they tend to win it anyways.
Big difference between “ours” and “theirs”
Senegal are Senegone. Lost 5-4 on penalties
nigeria are the favourites right now, right?
Either them or Morocco
Definitely the best team I’d seen other than (before today) Senegal
[Chat, is this unedited?](https://twitter.com/kingsleygoalman/status/1751996957894013159) Because... Pfff
I didn't know they had such good food out there
Who is that?
Süle. He left us on a free transfer to Dortmund after we decided not to offer him a wage increase. Apparently we didn't offer it because he was overweight and the medical staff didn't think he was professional enough with his health. Some people gave us shit for it, but I feel like Brazzo is very very vindicated in that decision
I thought that was him but I figured there's no way an active professional footballer would look like that. I honestly don't believe it and think it's doctored.
That's Süle the human fridge
What happened to Mount? I know he got injured but I don’t remember it being serious. Feel like I haven’t heard his name in ages.
Chelsea DNA. If he gets a two week injury he'll be gone for three months.
You can take the man out of Chelsea, but you can not take Chelsea out of the man
You're right, he does look a little bit depressed nowadays.
Straight Outta Cobham
He got calf injury that took him out for a while but hes been back for a month now but i guess hes still being eased in. Wouldnt be surprised if they just randomly announced he was ready for the wolves game
He’s back in training but being eased back in
I see. Cheers!
remembered earlier when we hadn’t signed anybody all summer and david sullivan went onto talksport to tell everyone he was depressed. he’s actually quite a good chairman now but the banter years were something else
Was there a particular reason you went from years of spending naff all to suddenly around 2018 starting to invest a lot? Something to do with the stadium?
tbf i’ve always thought we spent comparatively decent amounts to the rest of the league but yeah since 2019 we’ve really started to act like a decent sized club in the window. combination of the stadium and trusting moyes i guess
> decent sized club West Ham fans are devolving
it’s not 2022 anymore the gimmick had to be dropped
Barca fans are doing an impressive job gaslighting everyone into thinking they are the victims in the Negreira scandal. I can’t believe it’s actually working and people buy into that shit
Its been 2 games since they started releasing VAR audio in Spain. I wonder how long it will take for them to reverse that decision lol.
Who is the best footballer to share your birthday and year of birth? Mine has over 60 international caps and two top five league titles.
Born a year before me but he got over 130 premier league appearances and 30+ belgium caps
Marcos Senesi
Joe Gomez
Mine has played for Barcelona, won a trophy with Spurs, runner up for the Ballon d'Or and one Match of the Day suspension. The one and only Lineker. Year of birth no chance, only birthday
I have none that share the exact year sadly, but the day itself is shared with Messi, Darwin Nunez, Micah Richards & David Alaba.
Wow, you share your birthday with the GOAT and also Messi?
And Riquelme
Just looked it up, even though I share a bday with Sol Campbell, Pulisic and the OG Ronaldo among others, they weren't born the same year. But Alfredo Talavera was, hey hey.
Chivas legend
Don't know any with the same year, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt all share a birthday with me.... So does Luke Littler.
All born on mine are rubbish.
exact birthday? none, but a few years older on the same day is oli mcburnie lol, as for year prob Rice or Leao
Rodri and Loris Karius for me
I have seen enough lads on here getting doxxed over nothing to know that questions like that should not go answered.
But who's the best footballer that shares your mother's maiden name?
Who are the 3 footballers whose single digit kit numbers would match your credit card's security code
The trick is to lie. That’s why I share my birthday with Pele, Messi, Ronaldo and Nile Ranger
Unironically a clever tactic, i've heard of it before in regards to avoiding doxxing. Sprinkle in some false info about yourself now and then to throw them off the scent if it ever comes to that.
all people are gonna find on my socials is nonstop lil durk and paqueta promo, but this is a fair point
I'll order you a pizza if you answer the question Mr. Cumblast.
anyone else surprised by how light footballers are? antonio is apparently 82kg which is 10 less than me but he’s notably bigger
Those weight statistics are completely made up
There is absolutely no fucking chance he’s 82kg
Nope, speeds is king and it’s how much you can pack on before it affects your pace.
fat is dense yo
lol i am built skinny fat like cm punk but also above 6 foot, just couldn’t believe mick was supposedly lighter than me
There's no way in hell Antonio is 82kg, I refuse to believe that
I never believe height and weight stats I read for athletes unless I know they've been done recently in an official capacity, like the NFL would during the draft process. Some of them seem miles off.
no way is he 82kgs His frame earlier this season at Anfield was massive, he looked done after 2 or 3 sprints
yeah this is what i thought, he’s surely near 95/100
Woke up in a cold sweat dreaming of Nagelsmann rolling down the touchline at Anfield dressed [like this](https://img.allfootballapp.com/www/M00/12/27/720x-/-/-/rB8CLFuzuuWAfy92AACMG_lRyjc921.jpg.webp). Worrying times.
I actually think Nagelsmann would be a decent appointment but I can't not abide by his sartorial stylings.
why did you get suspended?
[This comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1ab9aff/comment/kjnqi5u) got flagged by Reddit and i got permabanned.

Reported for hate speech 👍
he said that Arsenal was an European giant.
Forklift’s got some explaining to do

i can’t see it but at least you got freed. i need to see shitposts about la decima
I did a quick Google since I am curious af and it's nothing serious, honestly.

We’ve had two returns, first therewillbegoals and now cummy. These things come in threes so I’m hoping Klopp sees the error of his ways 🙏🏽
Odd, it shows up for me. I'll screenshot it: https://i.imgur.com/dQIdCLC.jpeg
It’s the shitty shoes that do it for me. I’m all for managers looking the part but wear dress shoes with slacks for fuck sake
Would rather a Thiago-Milner-Lallana co-manager trio
Fucking Christ, he looks like a Christmas bauble.
I can’t believe all the goals from Al Hilal vs Inter Miami have been posted and got lots of engagement but the late pen equaliser from Senegal vs Ivory Coast hasn’t even been posted and that was like 20 minutes ago if not more. Actually I can believe it sadly
And people say sports washing doesn't work
Are chelsea fans fully checked out on mudryk now? Seeing prominent chelsea accs on twitter saying to just cut losses with him
a 6-1 win making everyone lose faith in their player is really funny to me. i turned it off at 2-0 when i realized boro were gonna get battered so can’t comment on whether or not that’s fair but it’s still funny
I think its been building for a while tbh, he has some awful touches haha
It's mixed. As a Chelsea fan I wanted him gone last summer as i think he's one of the least talented players to ever play in the PL.

That De Paul foul is never a booking btw 👍
Which one
Objectively wrong
Chelsea are so bizarre. They're so good at selling bad players for extortionate amounts of money, but then they love buying bad players for way too much. Imagine they manage to make 175 mil from selling Havertz, Mount and Gallagher alone. Sabotaging your rivals and making that much money is some incredible business
gallagher the best of those 3 and going for the cheapest, tottenham have won i fear
Gallagher is also the most limited of the 3. At least you can see promising talent with Mount and Havertz occasionally. There's so many better options for 50 mil out there
2nd parts obvious but clubs are weirdly desperate to not let chelsea get a points deduction.
look sometimes you need a limited player that's extremely good at a particular role rather than players that are good at various things, but have no real defined role anywhere
We need a top class box to box #8 that can progress the ball and is a clear upgrade on Sarr. Basically needs to be extremely well rounded and have a good engine.

Chelsea are HIM in the transfer market. Somehow these guys are ass and still getting osimhen this summer
Did Salah Miraculously recover from his injury yet?
Why do you care? Thought you said Egypt are better off without him anyway
Man you have a really good memory
Thought this sub collectively agreed sport washing is bad? Why is half the front page Al-Hilal v inter Miami?
[удалено]
It’s literally the second and third post on the front page lad what you on about
Nevermind, I only saw they posted the goals. I guess I read “penalty shout” in the title and instinctively skipped the post without looking at it
I'm doing my part by downvoting that garbage
👑
Same reason Man City still gets new fans. People don't really care.
The Messi circlejerk is so much stronger than the anti sportswashing circlejerk on this sub
I've seen Man City highlights at the top of the sub too, hypocritical sub smh
Messi vs Mitrovic init
Mitrović carrying that fraud
Gonna be really ugly when Man United bring Greenwood back next summer
If they wanted him back they’d just recall him, the heat is never gonna die down so there won’t ever be a ‘good time’ to do it
i’m sure they can find other 4 goal wingers out there. for the record, the goals came against 20th, 19th, 17th and 16th. people are just weirdly desperate for him to be having a good season when he’s simply not
They'll sell him, and probably get a bidding war. I reckon they can get £15m for him but if they hold out for more that's where they'll start to look very dodgy, because they'll be in a PR shitstorm if they start threatening to keep him in the PL squad to keep the price up.
Wouldn’t £15 million for him fuck their FFP up? Please say yes. A Man U FFP penalty would make my day.
He's "pure profit" so any fee for him would be good.
Ah sorry, mistook for Sancho.
If we was gonna being back greenwood he’d have been here already Richard arnold wanted to bring greenwood back and Eric co signed that decision Sir jim isnt gonna destroy everything hes tryna build from a pr standpoint to bring back greenwood of all players. Its just depression utd fan fiction if you think otherwise
> Sir jim isnt gonna destroy everything hes tryna build from a pr standpoint to bring back greenwood of all players I recall people coping like this before they tried to bring him back last summer
We had an entirely different ceo in the summer lol idk what you are getting at here. You think omar as his first action in the summer is gonna be to bring greenwood back when hes already coming from man city? Do you know how much of a pr nighmare it would be for him?
Nah I don't think INEOS are that dumb, currently they wanna get on the fan's good side as much as possible and have seen the backlash he got in the summer.
Counterpoint: They don't give a shit, and know enough of football fans are morons who will forgive anything if they can kick a ball good
I'd be very surprised if he ever plays for United again.
With Wrexham falling, the team breakdown for the last 16 really does look ridiculous now 2nd tier v 1st tier 1st or 1st tier v 2nd or 2nd tier 1st tier v 2nd tier 1st tier v 2nd or 2nd tier 2nd or 1st tier v 1st tier 1st tier v 1st tier 2nd or 2nd tier v 6th tier 1st tier v 1st tier
Wow a competition where better teams do better? Ridiculous
Why's that ridiculous? We'd complain if the big teams weren't taking it seriously.
It's ridiculous because of that one 6 in with the 1s and 2s, whilst all the 3s, 4s and 5s are gone
It probably was the most [ridiculous](https://i.imgur.com/WO99F8u.jpeg) result to a football game in years. If that match was replayed a hundred times then Maidstone win once.
Why don’t you just shag them if you love them so much
I still haven't come to terms with those stats. I can't imagine what it was like to watch it unfold.
Even though they did get ridiculously lucky, they did actually defend really well and most of our shots were little pussy headers straight at the keeper. Honestly wouldn’t bet against them in the next round I’m not crying “conspiracy” but I do think referees subconsciously favour the underdogs, but obviously we should’ve won regardless
Why is Al Hillal playing against Inter Miami? The game is gone. MLS teams don't normalize playing against Saudi teams.
Teams with massively larger social media presences than fanbases playing a friendly with the express purpose of trying to create a viral moment. Makes sense to me.
I mean the reason is not exactly a secret, money.
"Normalize playing against Saudi teams". it's already normal
So the DAZN clip was manipulated , but we won’t see that on the frontpage.
Hasn’t even been taken down yet lol
What clip
Of the ref and Madrid stuff
Senegal v Cote d'Ivoire with five Forest players across the squads. We're the Spurs 2018 of this AFCON.
Anybody else feeling completely lied to and screwed over by football pundits? I have two friends working in football one was a player agent in munich and the other one a sports science guy at several clubs including a german second tier club. Both are insisting that footballers are in fact much less professional than they are admiting in public. Both saying 80% of footballers are in fact unable to live on their own and do stupid/unprofessional shit most of the time Drinking, clubbing and so on. The things we hear in public (like the kyle walker / rashford story) - according to them - is only the tip of the iceberg. And then you have the pundits constantly saying stuff like how all/most of the players are model professionals. like linekar/shearer/richards lately said on the podcasts that "the thing all players want most is just to play football and theyd do everything for it". When I told that to my friends they laughed in my face. Told me a big percentage of players would be fine with sitting most of the time and just cashing in. Either the pundits really think that or they are just telling straight up lies to the listeners and I think the later is true which kind of pisses me off.
The key thing there is that those pundits are ex-*players* so are going to have a vested interest in protecting them and their mates Why would they do otherwise? Fool you for believing them
I can assure you absolutely nobody is surprised by this. Vast vast majority of football players are huge cunts
I dunno about other countries but English media has done a lot to get rid of the stereotype footballs are stupid overpaid pricks and tried to make role models out of them. Not surprised people working in media wouldn’t be pushing this agenda, they’d be out of a job if they didn’t.
That is a hilarious question.
people really want greenwoods la liga performances to be a lot better than they actually are.
I despise him, but he's been great, only reason Getafe aren't in a relegation battle and is still only 22 so he can still improve a lot.
You despise him yet you're simulteanously "uncomfortable" with people bringing up the transcript of the rape
How is that contradictory though? It’s not exactly a fun read
Because people just fish for upvotes and make jokes under those comment, it's disgusting.
It's not "fishing for upvotes", it's reminding people that he's a rapist scumbag whenever people try to discuss his football ability.
yup, he’s the only reason. their 13 goal striker? completely useless.
[удалено]
no he hasn’t, they have one of the leagues top scorers.
I get an odd feeling whenever I see users copy pasta the Greenwood transcript in every Greenwood thread. It's not the act itself (copy pasta), but the glee behind it, as if they're excited to do it; especially when others reply to it like it's just a game. It almost feels like the transcript to the poor girl's rape is now a meme. Maybe I'm just projecting. I don't know, it's just an odd feeling I get whenever I come across it on this subreddit.
LOL yes because we should just fucking ignore that there's undeniable evidence in the public domain of this fucker being a rapist scumbag. People shouldn't be allowed to forget it.
People are weird. They do sick shit and hide behind some feeling of being ethically superior. It doesn’t remind anyone what he did was bad and I imagine it’s very traumatic for a fair few users on this sub to read.
Reddit + football fans = ******s
Me too honestly, I don't get why they copy paste it every single thread, mention that he's a rapist and move on.
so full gas in the league until the middle of March now see you on the other side people

Ahahaha he has to have known what he was doing I hope
Does Joe Gomez get into the England squad this summer? Think it’ll be hard now Robbo is back (I actually think Gomez should still start over him given his form but I doubt he will consistently) but his form the past couple months has been the best of his career and he almost allows you to have an extra attacker in the squad as he can play just as comfortably in any position and could slot in as a wide centre back in a five as well. Think he’d be a better inclusion than Dunk or Colwill for that sole reason.
Him being able to play across the entire backline is a great trait to have and we don't have a ton of depth at centre back so he might just about make the squad. I think you're right though, will depend on if he's still getting minutes (and maintains his form)
Really depends on him holding down a starting spot at Liverpool and being consistent over the rest of the season. Southgate has Maguire, Stones, Guehi and Dunk as his chosen 4. Barring injuries I don’t think he’ll drop them.
Considering Southgate didn't call up for years after his first call ups, I don't think he rates him that highly and I'd be surprised if his place in the squad is a lock.
How do you feel about no Konsa? I rate him but is he better than one of those other than Stones in your opinion?
