The General Football Thread

I'd like Benfica to get to the final. Against City if possible, but I feel Bayern Will be this season's victoria due to their enormous experience, know-how and not inconsiderable skill to go with it!

 

Yeah looks like they could have Serie A opponents all the way. In theory as they are 18 points clear at the top over 2nd placed Inter and 20 points clear of Milan, they 'should' do ok. May get bored of playing in the San Siro though

 

Charlie Austin scored four for Swindon today, maybe we should...no.

 

Very impressive England u21 squad these days, even without Chukwumeka.

 

This Sheffield United - Blackburn game is a great advert for the Championship (even if it’s in the FA Cup).

We might be hoping to avoid it but at least it is entertaining!

 

FA cup draw is after the Brighton v Grimsby game, apparently.
Let’s hope the Manc clubs get drawn together, assuming that Utd beat Fulham.
Give Sheffield Utd or Brighton the opportunity of a final.

 

Nope. Sheffield United get Man City.

 

One of the Grimsby players discussing beating Saints on the BBC yesterday, described it as "a sort of 'upset', if you like." /

 

At first I thought that was a bit offensive, but then form would suggest it wasn’t much of an upset.

 

Bloody hell Fulham.

 

Fulham down to 9 men …..Utd level through penalty.

 

I suppose we could say it too. We had just beaten Chelsea, "a sort of 'upset', if you like"

 

Bmouth, West Ham and Everton are Fulham's next three matches. Without Mitrovic.

 

Fulham have totally lost the plot

 

2-1 Utd

 

Mitrovic should get banned for the rest of the season for that imo, similar to when Prutton lost the plot. He was a nats hair away from chinning the ref and probably would have if not pulled away. Lucky not to have more off tbh, Leno was right in the refs face as well.

Even crazier when you consider the penalty and red card for Willian was nailed on and there was no room for argument, not contentious in any way.

They have had a very good season but if I was a Fulham fan I would be absolutely apoplectic at that **** show.

 

3-1

 

Could and should be more than 3 games he gets banned for.

 

If Carling did meltdowns.

 

Typical he misses games against our relegation rivals
