The General Football Thread

There's Dwight Gayle. Not the imposter who played vs Villa.

What. A. Miss.

 

Why the anti? It is not as if they have plastics all over the country a la Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea. I imagine even Arsenal´s numbers of plastics are dwindling given that club´s poor performances over successive seasons whilst Liverpool´s will have grown.

 

Anyone get the feeling that a biggish Championship side will slip into League 1. Stoke?
If so League 1 will be quite a division given Sunderland, Ipswich, and maybe our beloved Pompey. I suppose the last time League 1 looked so attractive was in 2009-10 when our beloved Saints were there with Leeds, Norwich, Millwall and Huddersfield.

 

The FA to make 124 people redundant because of covid impact.

Because all that money surely can't support them...

 

So a good Mancunian FA Cup final is a possibility!!! Would be great!! Pity there won´t be any fans. Hope City win it to continue their legacy because as we know their current success won´t last forever, so make hay whilst the sun shines.

 

We want the Europa League place to go back to the Premier League, so it really doesn’t matter who wins it out of those 2.

 

Tell that to City fans. Do you really want Somerset born and bred guys bragging how great Manchester United are?

 

I’m used to that, even when they are ****.

 

Being a Devon born lad I'm rooting for Exeter against Northampton tonight. Aaron Martin is the Saints link too.

 

Deflected shot off of Martin nestles in the corner, Cobblers 1 up.

 

Yeah, like the Grecians, and the west country have had a crap old time of it in football terms for a while now. Hope they can right the wrongs tonight.

 

@ChilcoSaint 0-2 @fatletiss

 

All Saints fans should obviously support Exeter, although I recognise Fats’ connection with the Shoemakers.

 

Come on Cobblers, put the boot in this half!!

 

Dirty West Country B’stards!!!

 

* stares

 

I'm not as invested in them as you are in the cobblers, so I won't begrudge you this success tonight!

 

Shocking challenge from Moxey, that should be the game now.

 

I have to say that it is hard to dislike Man City. They play really attractive football and are a pleasure to watch. Next season will be interesting and I think Liverpool will not find it such of a pushover. I am anticipating a City FA cup win and to follow that up with the title in 20/21. I have a sneaky suspicion that next season might also see the rot stopping at Old Trafford and a return to earlier form. Hope it doesn't happen , of course, but I think a challenge is overdue and can see the smiling assassin splashing the cash to achieve that objective.
