The General Football Thread

We must not mourn Tad. It was sad to lose him, but it was agreed. I'm glad the club kept their word and I'm really pleased he is flourishing. Always a player who'd give 100% when happy, and sometimes its up to someone else to make sure happiness is abundant. We didn't always do that when he was here, but he sure gave us some smiles.
King of assists, where-ever he may be.

 

Or maybe we should apply to play in the Dutch league and we may win a few.

People frothing at the mouth at Tadic scoring and assisting need to reality check on the difference in quality.

 

Henry has turned down the Bordeaux job...apparently because of uncertainty about finances.

 

Did Vardy just retire? I'm still trying to make sense of what I've just read!

 

Talking as if he has retired from international football. Hope not...not because it's Vardy...but because it may start a precedent of players not being bothered with internationals.

Were I him, I'd be lapping up and game time for the national team. We've just returned from a WC finish we haven't seen for years. He's only 31, and gets so many reds that he barely needs a rest!

 

Tadic misses pen for Ajax ......really didn't like him taking pens when he was here either.

 

Blimey. That lad Ghezzal who we were told is difficult, has just scored a worldly for Leicester. Only one game mind, but he looked like wotshisname they sold to city.

Did he play against us?

 

I remember Boufal scoring a few worldies...

On your second question, i don’t think he did. He may have come on as a sub but I wasn’t really focusing on Leicester.

 

Wait til you see Stoke’s second goal. Brilliant own goal

 

became on for about the last ten if I recall.

he didn't do much .he didn't need to.

Never as good as Vergini's. The stuff of legend.

 

i remember that well .If he tried that another 99 times it would never go in.

 

And Jack Cork got one that day too! The stuff of dreams!

 

All our scorers from that day have left now.

 

Morgan’s moved twice!

 

And Cork.
And Mane is only one good season away from his next one.

 

Against Fleetwood's backups, heh. They also made Christian Fuchs look like Jordi Alba, so more data might be required on that one.

 

Mmm. I may have said the same thing in different words.

 

That one was the stuff of dreams. Was it the first that day, to start it all off?

What a day.
