The English Football Thread

I dont think many professional footballers are going in with the mindset of “Im going to be 5th choice LW”. Its a combo of good money and a “bigger” club. Everyone would back themselves to be Kyle Walker over Danny Drinkwater

With zero appearances

Carson is pretty much a gk coach/vibes Officer who sits on the bench occasionally

According to Mr google, he earns 30k Pounds a week!

Just curious, where does the Mr Google thing come from?

My 76 yo mother says that and i’m just… obscured.

City beat United on penalties to win the community shield

:grin: Guaranteed she’s never seen this.

Can we ask Chelsea for some players on loan?

6 goalkeepers in the squad. Another 5 out on loan. That’s a little ridiculous.

Maybe it’s a fantasy football strategy where you carry superfluous players for a position so that your rivals can’t sign them?

Is it me, or are most of those names just completely unrecognizable? I remember the days when half the Chelsea squad was made up of household names. Now you have Lukaku and Stirling

Anyone who wasn’t active in a top five league in 2005 is a bullshit no name
regen IMO.

“Michael Drogba” would be most offended!

New Premier League season, same shit refereeing. Ipswich player already on a yellow card deliberately handles the ball and somehow stays on the pitch :roll_eyes:

I heard a rumour that Ed Sheeran was in the crowd at Ipswich, i do hope the cameras will show a shot of him at some point during the game [/sarcasm].

Did you know he’s flying to Serbia as we speak?

I know that I pay for coverage of Sheerans face and not for the actual football. What a win.

I’ll need to see the xC (expected close-ups) of Sheeran vs Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game.

What a dream debut for Joshua Zirkzee in Manchester United colours, came off the bench and scored the winner at 87’ 1-0 against Fulham. Zirkzee played an important role last season for Bologna in Serie A that also helped them to qualify a Champions League place.

Does Nunez still suck?
