Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

So Scotland are out of the Euros tonight yeah?

 

I reckon 1-1

 

Steve Cooper for the Leicester job…magic.

 

Technically they’d still be in it but yeah.

 

Only because he’d be the best looking bloke there.

 

You can hear that? ... you've got some ****ing telly there dude

 

Been pretty good this tournament - just about right every time - and quickly - and with decision being explained to the crowd ..

 

If you read the various reports both him and Graham Potter to be appointed shortly

 

I think the only debatable one I saw was the disallowed Lukaku goal for handball from the assist. But it was handball, always going to be grey areas of dispute.

 

feel a bit for Lukaku. His best ever form was at Everton. Looked easy for him, never fluffed the sort of chances he does now.

 

Didn't see anything debatable about that tbh, it changed the angle of the flight away from the defender, who would've had it otherwise.

 

He done well for Roma.

 

He's an odd one.

Sometimes he looks brilliant, sometimes a complete oaf.

 

I think he’s one of those flat out strikers, won’t be involved in any decent build up play or help bring others into the game but he’ll stick it in the net more often than not if you give him chances, he’s a physical brute as well, like a watered down Haaland I’d say.

 

I’m starting to eye up my bets for next season, already. So far, I’ve got Arsenal to win the league. Coventry to be promoted.
Huddersfield to be promoted. No idea about league 2. I’ll see how the teams finished last season and choose one of the play off semi finalists or summit.

Leicester going with the old Liverpool approach? Co managers, like Evans and Houllier, back in the 90's?

 

I reckon it’ll be Cooper.

Potter rejected Ajax a month or two back, not sure what’d be going through his brain if he rejected them only to take the Leicester job.

 

They’ve made Chesterfield favourites which is mad. I’d maybe consider Colchester for the top 7 at 4/1. Good manager who turned them around last season and a very young team.

Gillingham third-faves. Nah.


I’ve gone Sheff U/Rovrum/Colchester for promotion. 197/1.

 

Wouldn’t touch Ajax with a barge pole, mate. The DOF is pretty much running the show for them now and he’s been ****ing dreadful with new signings and manager appointments. PSV and Feyenoord were on a different level to them last season. On top of that, the Dutch league is the worst I’ve seen in my lifetime. The best players have all been shipped out and a far worse quality brought in. The only shining light for Ajax is they seem to be on the verge of another few top youth players breaking through.
