The General Football Thread

I thoroughly recommend Pinocchio for Barcelona. Well suited. Both devious in their own way.

 

Deila announces he is leaving Celtic at end of season.

 

Thought he was going to announce a new recipe, for a split-second.

 

Exactly what I thought when I saw that on Sky last night!

 

Jumping ...............Being pushed

He just got there first then.

 

Although my interest is limited in football not involving Saints, this article has a few points of interest:

1] Barcelona lost
2] They lost to Valencia, who couldn't buy a win under Gary Neville.
3] It was at an Away win at that.
4] Neymar can't even be gracious in defeat, and his attitude is a poor example. No doubt it will be copied left, right and centre.

 

I'd really quite like Barca to keep winning if at all possible. Y'know. Just in case.

 

Strange how there are so few apparently decent managers around at the moment. What sort of names would there be if someone like Arsenal/Everton wants a new manager this summer?

 

Poch first

 

Everton - David Moyes
Arsenal - Ronald Koeman or that bloke from Dortmund

 

Barcelona taking it easy tonight against Deportivo....just the 8 goals so far.

 

How to end a crisis in style.

 

Luis Suarez gets hat tricks in successive games. Barça beating Sporting Gìjon 4-0 with just over 10 minutes to go.

 

5-0. Barcelona awarded their 3rd penalty in 10 minutes for a very mild challenge on Neymar, which also resulted in a second yellow for the offender. The ref has obviously read the script!

 

6-0. Suarez gets 4 for the second successive game. Best player in the world at the moment?

 

Been the best player in the world for the past 2/3 seasons for me.

 

Terrible.

But much more difficult to assault a dedicated camera system high in the stands.

 

Repeat?
