Football 2020 - Jetpacks for Goalposts

[Inspector Norse]

Heh, love it.

Robbie Rodgers who played a few games for Leeds came out after retiring at 25 and then coming back in to the game.

Glenn Hysén's son Anton came out two or three years ago and still plays professionally in Sweden, though in Divison 2 which in technical terms is about Pemberton's Fertilisers Kirklees U-19s Vase level, but still. He's said in the media that he's had absolutely no bother whatsoever.

Despite inheriting a tea overloaded with talent given a limitless budget to add even more to that, City can't compete.

I don't understand it.

[Captain Z]

How on earth are you supposed to compete if other teams just get better than you? It's not a level playing field, totally unfair.

[kngen]

Celtic play terribly for 90 mins against a spirited Rangers and end up winning the final. It's like the 90s but the right way round.

Fraser Forster was immense. I'm struggling to work out why he couldn't get a game for Southampton.

You're not wrong. Goal against the run of play after dominant side misses 20 chances. Offside goal allowed (even though, on closer inspection, Helander's shoulder might just have put St. Christopher on, given that we're now measuring offsides in matters of bawhairs). And 'Fraser Forster broke my heart' on Gerrard's tombstone.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

lol arse

Martinelli though... The guy just fucks the net. Fuck fuck fuck fuck, fuck the net.

[Chollis]

good Squires this week

[bgmnts]

More excitement and better football in the first 10 minutes here than the entirety of both Napoli games.

Wished Salzburg were going through instead of them.

[chveik]

Wished Salzburg were going through instead of them.

instead of Liverpool? yeah me too

[bgmnts]

Har har.

But nah Salzburg and Liverpool both play really good football. Napoli games were just grim watching.

[Utter Shit]

This Haaland looks like an absolute donkey so far. Slow, lumbering, bad touch. Supposed to be brilliant though, so he'll have a hat trick by full time.

[bgmnts]

How the fuck did that go on?

[Chollis]

Gonna win it again aren't we

[king_tubby]

Farewell, the Bald Eagle.

Good game that, and a very good win.
Really like the cut of Salzberg's jib. I'll be supporting them in the Europa League.

Patting their little heads is unbecoming

[DrGreggles]

Why? They were good in both games and play open, entertaining football.
Nothing wrong with wanting them to do well.

Not at all, but if they knocked you out would you be wishing them well in coming seasons?

[imitationleather]

Supporting a Red Bull team now is it?

[DrGreggles]

Actually, if they had won and gone through instead, I'd definitely still want them to do well.
It's about how they play rather than their results against us.

[DrGreggles]

Chelsea's arse suddenly twitching.

They were coasting at 2-0, but Lille pull one back.
As it stands, with Valencia ahead, an equaliser would knock them out.

[Gulftastic]

United now 11 clear of 3rd place. It might actually happen.

[imitationleather]

It's going to be interesting to see who Spurs end up facing in the final.

"Nugent rolls back the years"

He bundled one in from 6 inches at the 2nd attempt!
