General Football Thread

I see there was a pitch invader in the Everton game, hate to see it.

Not sure what a Sunderland fan was doing in Liverpool

 

If you have a spare hour and a half.....

Robbie Savage admits he would prefer Leeds, Aston Villa & Derby promotion than Norwich.
I’ve got news for you Robbie – I’m not convinced that Villa will make the playoffs this season!!!!

The gormless gobshite gives no indication of why he thinks that.
Talking of gobshites, I normally listen to 606 but it's gone downhill fast since Ali Bruce-Ball and Chris Sutton took over from the informed and articulate Kelly Cates and Ian Wright, imho.
It's like Tiswas for radio now and I had to turn it off tonight as Sutton was getting right on my tits.
Solar radio or Planet Rock instead

 

I used to love Chris Sutton as a player, I can't believe what a useless pundit he has become!

 

Yet you have knowledgeable people like Ian Wright, Pat Nevin, etc.
Sutton and savage are both better suited to TalkSport radio, full of sensationalist nonsense and stirring up trouble.
Don't tell me the Beeb is using Talk radio as a template

 

The BBC are often criticised for delivering the same shows that commercial organisations produce, 606 seems like an example where they could try and be different, but just don't want to rise above infantile analysis. Pat Nevin is excellent, but rarely seen or heard from.

 

A response on the Leeds forum to the brief clip of
Webber explaining the club's stance on Spygate.

 

Re Mings-gate.
FA investigating - let's hope the final paragraph also applies this time.
Or will they bottle it?

Their COMPLETE lack of grammar knows no bounds!!!

 

Mings-gate part 2.

"Colliding"? COLLIDING?? WTF???
Just watch the video again.
State of poor Nelson's face

Working my way through this at the moment.

You've gotta love Webber. He talks complete sense.

 

So no charges against Mings.
#outrageous

 

Of course not. Wasn’t even a foul!

 

So 32% of city fans think Lambert should be booed on Sunday . WTF??
#plessedontboo

 

I voted no, and was surprised to see it that low for yes. I was expecting more hate. It is the internet after all.

 

The FA's decision re: Mings is as bad as the stamp. If a player hurdles an opponent it should be that player's responsibility to make make sure he doesn't stamp on the opponent's head. This was much worse than the Mings' stamp on ZI which he received a retro five game ban for. I'm really pissd about this.

 

It's the pathetic sh*t we are all use to. Had a strong feeling nothing would happen about that.
