All purpose football thread 2023/24 Season

Listening to TNT for the United match against Galatasaray was like listening to fan TV. There is no point in having ex-players in charge of commentary and punditry - Rio cannot be objective, and the superlatives were embarrassing.

dreading todays game, we have always performed well against city, today will be different

Always a game I worry about: Keane and Son always seemed to do a Messi all over us.

Missed the first half but Tottenham doing well in this one, especially given their kit which is the colour of what you get if you smear cardboard with dog shit and then leave it out in the rain for a few days.

 

[oldius]

Fair result in a game where City were not at their best, but what on earth is the referee doing...AGAIN?

maybe City not their best because spurs stopped them second half. thought ref was good

Oh, I thought Spurs played well in the second half, but the referee hauling back play when Grealish is clean through - SCANDALOUS!

always has been issues with refs, but over the season it seems to be swings and roundabouts

MOTD2 worth a watch tonight...

Some people on here come across as almost anti hifi but you carry a level expertise of this which must have specialised status which I prefer not to think too much about jeez!

But worth it just to see Haaland go off like a sulky toddler.

 

[oldius]

Wouldn't you be livid if you were the one fouled and you managed to break free, play a superb through ball and find a player clean through on goal, for the ref to then haul it back? With this and the absolute non-foul on Allison, I am bouncing.

 

[PrettyVacant]

Back home from another emotionally draining game, and going to have to have another lie down before MOT2 comes on.

Alternatively, when I played Sunday league football we used to take turns washing the whole of the teams dirty kit after the game in readiness for next week and it was not uncommon to find an odd sock or bra in with the freshly washed kit when it was being handed out on Sunday morning. In Tottenhams case, it looks like someone's mum washed the kit with a shitty nappy already in the machine.

Great games for the neutral to watch yesterday, Spurs played well second half but city should have scored 4 in a one sided first half. Haaland probably was annoyed at himself for missing several chances (thought he’d borrowed Darwin’s boots) and as for the ref blowing his whistle when he did then after apparently playing on, I assume he made a mistake (does happen) - not convinced It was a certain goal with Grealish still 45 yards out

 

[adamk]

Poor decision by the ref but it was only Grealish so far from certain. Smokescreen really as City obviously not the team of previous seasons.

All of Liverpool’s goals against Fulham were absolute belters.

They need Becker back ASAP!

 

[RoyleBlue]

I was sat right behind this as it left his foot - would be a headline goal if Premiership, Messi etc!
