Can you imagine the meltdown on here if City did anything like this

 

[H T B]

Wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry

 

[fitz]

a few years back people would scream match fixing at any shit like this. By making pissing about at the back, ignoring defending as a thing and all these goal scoring apple turnovers being more common, how would you even start to say which teams might be influenced? Other than VAR and dodgy refs it's just assumed everyone has gone ****ing mental. The Hamburg own goal this weekend too.....ffs

 

[Blue Maniac]

The Hamburg own goal this weekend too.....ffs

An all-time classic, that. Better than any of Frank Sinclair’s.

The only thing keeping those players away from a lengthy ban is how much skill it would take to get the keeper to score that

 

[give_us_a_wave]

I was reading some stupid bollocks a few weeks ago about "why are there more goals being scored?" A massive load of ****ing drivel about shapes, tactics, innovative full back deployment & all sorts of fanciful shite.

At no point did anyone mention " twatting about at the back as if you're Franz ****ing Beckenbauer when actually you're a pub level clogger at Notts County"

It's all gone to ****.

A simple game made complicated by people who don’t understand it

Interesting build up to the Sunderland vs Newcastle match on Saturday. Newcastle have got 6000 tickets, but all supporters are having to go on bubble buses from St James’ Park and they won’t get their match tickets until they’re on the bus, so can’t avoid it.

There is also a function room at The Stadium of Light which has been given to Newcastle, but they appear to have decorated it in some Newcastle paraphernalia, something which, understandably, hasn’t gone down well with the Sunderland fans:

 

[Robin127]

I don't blame them.

 

[pork pie fox]

I don't blame them.

Looks like they’ve already had to backtrack, but have caused a lot of anger:

Another shocker for VAR tonight with the red card for DCL, although no surprise with that uselsss **** Chris Kavanagh as ref.

It shouldn’t have even been a foul.

 

[Robin127]

It was definitely a foul but I think the red was harsh.

A person without a single redeeming feature. Horrible little ****.
