The General Football Thread

Tight game tonight, but advantage Burnley after their late equaliser - it had to be a Southampton lad who did the damage too!. Aberdeen`s team cost approximately one month`s salary for Jack Cork ! (I`m a Cork fan, btw). Saints should beat Burnley first game of the season if we match their intensity - I seem to recall however Saints having most of the game last season, then the self same Vokes doing the damage.

 

Did you go? Bet it was a good atmosphere up there tonight. Hopefully Burnley will be knackered for the opener.

 

Yes, I went - can`t say I was that impressed with Burnley - well organised, a bit stuffy, with little flair ! Great atmosphere tonight! - getting Saints in Europe is on my bucket list !

 

Yeah I'd love another European tour

QPR fined 42 million for misleading EFL about financial results. Also a recruitment embargo.

 

@The Liebherr Legacy you'll be into this on the FSF. https://www.tifofootball.com/featur...s-federation-is-a-union-to-treasure-and-join/
I'd forgotten about that Bournemouth v Man City thing, what happened to that kid was awful.

 

What a great website! Thanks for drawing my attention to it.

 

Sorry didn't reply to this yesterdayas was hungover. Very interesting read, I hadn't realised the issues that City fan had. It does demonstrate very well that football supporters seem to have to live by a different set of rules.

I also don't think it's right that a court can impose a banning order on someone without them being convicted of an offence.

 

Good source of hipster football opinions. Here's a bit on us from last November (and that was before it really started going wrong)

 

Eleven Sports who have TV rights to La Liga, Serie A and now UFC will have a TV channel on Sky

 

Burnley through. So lets hope we are up to speed so we can give them pay back.

 

They needed extra time to put Aberdeen away. Saints don`t usually the opening game of the season, but I think we will this season.

 

I think we've got this. Really looking forward to seeing the hunger and desire (that was missing throughout the majority of last season) & maybe a 1-0 goal fest! No point getting too carried away though.

 

Is it ‘guess the missing word” time? I’m going for “turn up for”!

Brawl before Rangers game. Scottish football still lives in the shameful past.

 

Probably more to do with the Croatians tbh.

 

win!

 

Watching Derby v Reading, not the best game. Mount looks a decent player for Derby and how is Nugent still a starting striker at Champ level

 

Some terrible footballers on display

 

I notice there are quite a few footballers playing tody wiith doublé barrell surnames. Ward-Prowse, Hudson-Odoi, Smith_Rowe, Loftus-Cheek, Fosu-Henry, Ahearne-Grant, Forster-Caskey, Maitland-Niles, Osei-Tutu, Taylor-Crossdale, Oakley-Boothe. There we have it. An entire football team!! Someone Will have to volunteer to go in goal.
