General Football Thread

Looks like I messed that up a bit.

 

Nobody answered you CS. Awards now over and Pukki championship player of the year whilst our Max young player of the year. Congratulations to them both,

Thanks GE. I was looking for the results; the awards were presented much later than I expected them to be. Yes congrats to Teemu and Max, and Jamal.

 

Shefki Kuqi even gets a mention in dispatches!

Well deserved accolades. Hearty congratulations to Teemu, Max and Jamal.

 

Good man Tim

 

This makes me feel sick.

This is getting worse and worse.

I have my opinions on why, but this forum doesn't do well with political chat.

I don't know where this is going, or where this will end. I don't now how you combat it. All the forms of proper punishment, punish the innocent fans, and innocent clubs. It's really depressing times to have to see. So many hateful idiots in the world.

Does anyone on here listen to "The Football Ramble" podcast?

 

No

Bah!

 

Danny Rose has admitted live that he looks forward to the end of his career as a
player as a result of this type of stuff. Tragic and pathetic.

All so needless and 70's - as if it's gone full circle?

 

Leicester's James Maddison has scored three direct free-kick goals in the Premier League this season, the most by a player in a single campaign since Philippe Coutinho in 2016-17 (also three).
No need to comment DD.

 

Binners headed for league two (2)?

We've all heard of (and experienced ) the words 'fire sale' but this is taking it to extremes.

Thanks. That was a belting read!

 

If you have not seen it yet, and can to see it, it is worth watching the Bavarian Farkesody. A tribute to our promotion campaign mixed with a classic Queen hit. I tried to copy and paste the link but have had no luck.

 

Thanks CC - a SUPERB article ad these 2 paragraphs sums it all up - 'Nevertheless, the way Norwich have set about ruling the league is more impressive than what their predecessors achieved. That’s not to discredit Wolves’ efforts last year but, in terms of financial muscle, there is no comparison between the two clubs. Norwich have made a considerable profit in each of the last three seasons, opting to promote youth while picking up more than the odd bargain along the way. They do not have the help of a Jorge Mendes figure to bring in players who never truly belonged in the league. Norwich have had to look for value instead and boy have they found it.
Farke has been the biggest success story of all. He should serve as a reminder to other clubs – such as their latest victims, QPR, who are expected to appoint Tim Sherwood as their new manager – that the answer is not always close to home.'

 

Yet another VAR decision for hand ball, that was not a hand ball worthy pen. Baffling and embarrassing. Thank god they missed it. Never a Penalty.
