⚽️THE FOOTY THREAD: Leicester v City, Lyon v Brest, Troyes v PSG, Sandhausen v Leipzig, Wiesbaden v BVB

[noskey]

Not surprised Leeds has been in control. Glad I missed the first half. Here for Laca to win the game in the 90th... pls

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

Arsenal is there for the taking

Seeing these highlights yesterday while Hazard had yet another stinker bugged me. Flo needs to make up for this **** up. Dude thought this was 2006 where you just get rid of players in their low-30s before they get washed. But the absolute best athletes don’t just fade out like that anymore.

Florentino is the one who identified that Real’s heart is in the galactico philosophy. He looked at history and Santiago Bernabeu’s RM with Puskas and Di Stefano. And then successfully replicated it, but then decides letting arguably football’s biggest galactico in history go after leading the team to another CL makes sense.

If dude doesn’t deliver at least one of Mbappe or Haaland I think he’ll have to do what he’s done once before and step down. Ftr Flo is still a god of football management, but that doesn’t mean he’s infallible or immune to becoming washed/slacking.

 

[sonoftony]

That's a harsh red

 

[Barbados Slim]

Incoming red card.... smh

 

[noskey]

Unbelievable.

 

[josh4523]

Of course, Pepe smh, unnecessary from him

 

[DeadsetAce]

pepe

nil - nil draw all we can hope for

 

[Coupé It]

The head bump red card is so stupid. It ruins more of the game instead of adding to it.

 

[sonoftony]

Ayoooo

Especially when you can flop like Ginobili and get away with no consequences.

Ronaldo having his best start to a season since 2014/2015 too . He’s usually started slow last 6 years.

Most RM fans agree with you tho, except for the Florentino loyalists whom I never seem to understand. They’re the weirdos of the RM fan base to me. Why be loyal to a guy who works for you, who you elected? If any player or coach is expendable why shouldn’t a President be?

They don’t do this type of ish at Barça, never has a President been put on a pedestal. But Madrid is different, different culture. They still got some dictator vibes in their blood

These Florentino loyalists tend to be old fans too btw, that’s why I said this faction of RM supporters like being dictated.

 

[8pm at msg]

Leeds wasting chance after chance

 

[noskey]

Leeds wasting chance after chance

Arsenal too. Both sides are ******* embarrassing

 

[Coupé It]

That’s a penalty

Edit: I don’t understand hand balls anymore, no one does,

 

[noskey]

THATS A ******* PENALTY. **** THE FA AND **** VAR.

 

[sonoftony]

Wowowowowowo what a save

 

[jking0821]

Yeah at this point if it hits a hand I feel like it’s just flip a coin and decide if it’s a handball or not

Leeds is fun to watch. Yeah they squander a lot of chances but they create them. So as a neutral I appreciate the positive football they play week in and week out

 

[Barbados Slim]

Saka! ...wtf

 

[noskey]

That’s a penalty

Edit: I don’t understand hand balls anymore, no one does,

VARs thought process has to be one of two things,

1. "No Manchester? No penalty."
2. "Hand ball? It hit his elbow!"

 

[sonoftony]

**** gonna end scoreless

 

[Coupé It]

OMG Rafinha, ought that was in

 

[sonoftony]

23 shots and 0 goals

 

[josh4523]

Pepe kept everyone from having a fair match, waited a week for this. Feels like an L, after Willian and Pepe came off, we looked better even with just 10.

Nelson and saka deserve to start next match, thought Mikel would do it after villa, but if he can't see it today, will be worrying

Agree on everything but Nelson. Maybe against Fulham or something. Although not sure who else can fill in on the right, so maybe he's the best option.

And to think we thought this year we might actually fight for a top 4 spot
