The non-Watford football thread

If I remember rightly he was a miserable sod when playing for us.

 

Damn - Aberdeen equalise. And to make matters worse, St Johnstone are leading at Motherwell and have gone above them

 

Niang penalty. 0-1 Empoli

 

Surely that has to be a penalty for Udinese

 

1-1 brilliantly taken

 

So it's down to the wire next week - Udinese have to beat Frosinone to stay up, or hope that Empoli get nothing from their match against Roma.

 

Forest rubbing Luton's nose in it - leading 2-0 at Burnley, both goals by former Burnley man Chris Wood

 

Maybe will get interesting in the title race now ..

 

It's Man City's - nothing interesting in that...

 

No not in the end .

Predictable .

Our Twitter /X admin enjoyed a bit of mocking to Luton .

Pochettino leaving Chelsea ?

Daily Telegraph reporting it .

De Zerbi to them.

 

Not too sure about the set-up at Chelsea, but I think more Americans have seen it as an investment opportunity. A free and open market sees everything of any value being sold off to foreign investors. This is so far removed from the day I stood on the terrace watching Chelsea v Man.Utd when it was truly a game for the everyday Joe and his brother.

 

Some new owners never have the patience or align with what the manager wants which I guess has happened here ?

Few months ago no one would have been surprised really had this happened but timing is odd after signs of improvement.

Gives everyone a chance to bring us up even though other teams regularly change now.

 

They've had 24 managers this century - they must surely be catching us up?

 

A bit rough - Scotland Women's Euro 25 qualifier against Israel is to be played behind closed doors, after Hampden's operations team were alerted to the potential for planned disruptions to the match. Personally, I think Israel should be kicked out - let them participate in whatever competition other Middle East countries play in.

According to SSN, Vincent Kompany is leaving Burnley to take over at Bayern Munich.

 

Must be the name !

Surely getting Burnley promoted then easily relegated isn’t Bayern standard ?

 

To be fair, I don't think Burnley's playing staff can be compared to Munich's...

 

True .

They haven’t got Harry Kane!

 

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna is likely to reject any new deal amid interest from Chelsea and Brighton.

The 38-year-old is also believed to be under consideration by Manchester United if they decide to make a change with Erik ten Hag’s future in doubt.

McKenna – who is contracted to Ipswich until 2027 - is ambitious and is understood to be keen to take the next step in his career.

Just what is a contract worth these days?
