General Football Thread

The longer there's wrangling, disharmony and tension
within O.T. the better as far as I'm concerned.
I dislike everything about the club - especially the fact that
they get TV coverage virtually every single weekend

 

I certainly agree wholeheartedly with that

 

Two more examples of Pukki's skill and awareness in the Finland game. When you add in his work rate then I doubt that there are more than a handful of attacking players playing at the top level who can match his contribution. In purely the taking of chances then Glenn Murray at Brighton is probably a comparison but if you consider the assists and willingness to help out in defence then I think you need to look towards the other end of the table.

 

VAR strikes again.

A hair offside against Holland

A mild pull a while before the goal here. I think if that was the Swiss, they wouldn't have disallowed it.

I was feeling pretty upbeat that at least in the games against big teams, we won't just get screwed next season. The fact is, they will just keep looking back through the footage until they can find a reason not to give us a goal or a penalty at Old Trafford or Anfield.

 

A Swiss player in the wall just jumped up, blocked the freekick with his chest, we came back with another attack. The defender wriggled around on the floor. The ref stopped the game, and gave the ball to Switzerland...….WTF?!

Now it's a foul if the wall blocks an England freekick!?

 

Don't get paranoid FML.

 

I have never seen a player in the wall, blocking the ball with his chest, be a drop ball to the player in the wall. while the side who had the freekick, attack again. That is fresh madness.

 

Nice pen Barkley. Didn't like how he stepped up and where he stood. I was expecting a Panenka but thought he made it too obvious. Class Penalty.

 

Only just seen that. I think this man can do it in the Premiership. We have had some strikers who do it in the Champ, but can't step up. Likes of CamJam.

Pukki looks different. I think he's going to worry a fair few Premiership defences.

 

I'm putting £5 on him winning the 'Golden Boot' next season. Can't wait to see the bookie's face when I place my bet.
Edit - Should this be on the2019-2020 thread???

 

Kenny all over Twitter tonight. Sounds like he is having a great game again for Scotland.

 

And in other news - Pukki scores AGAIN!!!

 

Norwich City are running Twitter today!

 

And rightly so!!!!

 

How relieved is Daniel James that the Leeds transfer fell apart last minute!

 

If he wasn't a cult hero already, he will be after this...

If Norwich Under 21's beat Ipswich first team...I mean....No words!

 

All the Jose - Chelsea reports are strange. Can you really see him having a 3rd stint there? Especially after the last one?!

Although Frank Lampard to Chelsea reports are probably stranger. Achieved nothing as a Manager, failed in his first seasons task in the Championship - Get the Chelsea job in the Champions League!
