All purpose football thread 2022/23 Season

[Weekender]

Brian supports Newcastle and may even have been present at the game which afforded Newcastle their last piece of meaningful silverware, namely the Fairs Cup in the early 1970s...

1969.

If you had a team with the array of talent that Chelsea have, and did nothing with them, just sent a vaguely balanced team out on the pitch with no discussion of tactics or strategy against, say, Southampton without a manager, or Fulham…..or West Ham….you’d expect a victory or two.

Potter is making things worse than doing nothing.

1969.

Even better - Newcastles last trophy was won before the invention of flared trousers.

My second team outclassing my first team so far.

The bad news for the Saints is that they can't play us again having already extracted the maximum six points.
Chelsea have now scored 4 goals in their last 10 matches and looked, at times today, an absolute shambles.
I hope Todd has kept all the receipts.

Good to see Saint-Maxmin starting - such an exciting player running with the ball although today he looks like he’s auditioning for the lead role in The Mummy,

 

[Weekender]

Well this has gone well...

Your point being?

Is Dubravka cup-tied for the Milk Cup Final?

Yes...in fact when Man U win he's entitled to a Winner's medal.

Loris Karius has entered the chat.

I think Pope has misread the hoof from the Liverpool keeper - there's loads of slice on the ball so it's actually going away from him.

Huddersfield are in desperate straights

Good win today in Colin’s first game back.

Yes, we do have some decent players but last coach kept falling out with the better ones. Warnock has given everyone a lift.

 

[Blue Belle]

Poor Nick Pope, missing the final that he played a large part in getting Newcastle to the final of.

Another pitiful display at Stamford Bridge this afternoon. The first half was beyond poor and I do mean beyond.

Yeah - I watched the whole match on Canal+ - we just don't seem to have any type of cohesive game plan.
I'm attending the Leeds & Dortmund games and hoping for something a lot better than today.

 

[NRG]

oooh before I consume too much beer, another win against teams above us. Chipping away so near to a play off place. Bolton fans where gracious..well some..

 

[Colin L]

I admire your optimism - your recent form (last 5 games) in the PL is even worse than Chelsea's.

How’s today working out for you?

A bit like the season as a whole and steadily getting worse.
