The General Football Thread

Zenit so close

 

Sounds familiar...

Still sounds familiar...

Again, all sounds familiar from just a few years ago from when we were in league 1 (or even now in that we regularly get torn to pieces), except that this time there's not even the football league show. But if I wanted glory and media attention I wouldn't be supporting Saints!

 

At least when the likes of Lallana and co left the club, you got lots of money from them which you could reinvest. I wouldn't mind so much the whole players leaving to greener climbs if clubs got anything in return.

Back in 2013, clubs revolted against the FA because of them being cast off as worthless.

Well frankly the FA still considers the WPL worthless and only good to act as feeder clubs for the WSL. This is pretty obvious with the FA's WPL website:

http://www.thefa.com/wpl

Note how it's not been updated in months, and the results and fixtures links, as well as being for last season, links to an external site: The full-time leagues website. Nice.

 

No contracts\transfer fees in Women's football? That's a tough position to be in, ouch!

Yeah, I noticed that - I was highly tempted to email the WPL\FA & ask them if they wanted someone to modernise their website... There isn't a decent WPL fan site around, either. Or if there is, I couldn't find it - compare that to who knows how many sites like this dedicated to men's football. I'm tempted to build one myself!

 

The best news of the day....

That is great news.

 

Yep, I've been unfortunate to hear some of his in-match punditry. He's invariably way off.

 

Praise be!

La Liga has rejected an attempt by Neymar's lawyers to pay his buyout clause at Barcelona.

Good.

 

@EFC_Jayy·26s

Honestly hope we're knocked out tonight and Williams breaks his leg, would be for good of club long term.


Classy Everton fans, classy.

 

Haha, they surely can't do this? I like how La Liga are getting annoyed now, but didn't give a **** when Barcelona skimped round loads of laws to buy Neymar from Santos

 

This. **** la liga.

What grounds do they have?

 

Good semi final going on at the mo, worth tuning in just for some of the names.
We've got;
Harder
Trollsguard
Killedthemost
Firesinger.

Its like Game of Thrones with a ball. Give it five mins and you'll be hooked.

 

There's a few famous footballing names in the England team tonight!

England Women

• 13Chamberlain
• 2Bronze
• 5Houghton
• 16Bright
• 3Stokes
• 11Moore
• 10Williams
• 7Nobbs
• 23Kirby
• 18White
• 9Taylor

 

Ah you mean after the men's teams. I get it, the men's team are all Nobbs.

 

Also Everton are playing, wouldn't be all that surprised if they lost.

 

That goal for the Netherlands was coming.

 

England have often conceded possession....but up till now no one has taken advantage. England now stepped up a bit....so nearly equalised.

 

I can't bear to lose another semi (stop sniggering at the back).

 

Ellen White looks a bit like Lallana.
