Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

The Dutch have spent more on their hair than the Tories spent on the NHS

 

Rabiot would be perfect for us. Does nothing.

 

Good goal, sad about the death of the player, was just reading his wiki page, sounds like he had a hard upbringing and had a personality to match. I ddin't know him and other players refused to wear the Wonga shirts (good on them) - I always hated Wonga, but it went against their religious belief, interesting.

 

Was thinking the same thing, his passing has been ****e

 

There’s a French football journalist on the Guardian football pod who has insisted for years he’s ****e.

 

We loved the guy and it's a shame how things went for him. On the plus side, the only goal he ever officially scored for us might be my favourite goal I've seen. He'll be remembered as fondly as he deserves:

 

The commentators not knowing what irony is has been the highlight of this half.

 

At least he left his kids a legacy so they don't have to suffer the financial hardships he had as a kid, so his life had a purpose. Lovely pics. Be interesting to know if his kids follow in his footsteps.

 

There's usury, and then there's wonga.

 

Busy guy. Two marriages and a kid with a mistress before 30 so there’s a good chance one will.

 

Yeah I read about his marriages and mistress, so was a busy guy. Love to see one of kids in a Toon shirt now fulfilling a dream, maybe bring them their first trophy in 70 years

 

Even if you offered me 70 years from now I'd be tempted to take it.

 

Not been many red cards or horrendous challenges since the first game. Turkey v Georgia is where I want blood. Riots in the stand and Erdogan declaring war after a contentious late offside decision.

 

They've already played haven't they?

 

Oh yeah. Czechs. Same thing. Erdogan will have to invade Portugal.

 

yep good game and Romania were particularly neat .

 

I'm looking forward to watching the Romanians tonight....hope they don't disappoint.

 

most of the games between "lesser" teams have been good games to watch .

 

Less quality = more mistakes, more direct football and frantic football. Good to watch when you don’t care about the results.

 

less expectancy = more freedom to express their true quality?
