⚽️The Footy Thread: Lock Thread

[Kimchi Papi]

I think baseball is still king in Korea...

Lopetegui announced his La Roja WC roster. Morata didn't get a call up as expected & Sergi Roberto didn't either which I think was the correct call. Not sure if he'd been playing hurt or not but he got exposed for not being fast at all & often had to result in fouling.


Edit - Good read about Abramovich's visa development. It's crazy that the team is averaging an anual loss of £70 mill... Still, despite a lower total net spend than Everton & Crystal Palace since June 2014 (in part due to player sales), the club has still won 2 Premier League titles.

Holy **** Radja retired from international football

 

[rolaholic]

Seems he retired after being snubbed from Martinez's squad...

 

[rolaholic]

The La Roja squad was also made official



No Alonso,Cesc,Bellerin or Morata...

 

[SadBoi]

Yeah this is France’s World Cup to lose.

DiMarzio's boy is saying Gigi to P$G is close...



Itd be hilarious if this went through days after Al-Khelaifi said that Areola was their no.1 fir next season

 

[rolaholic]

Emery to Arsenal??

 

[sneaksoy]

Alonso is the biggest snub from the Spanish side imo. That roster is stacked tho.


Belgium squad looks good on paper but I swear if Benteke plays even a minute for them, they have no chance... they’re about one more fullback away from being my favorite at this point.

Gigi don't deserve this b. Why sign with PSG only to get knocked out in the knockout stages of the CL

nainggolan not making Belgium is a bit of a head scratcher for me

Spain snubbing the whole spanish contingent over at Chelsea except Azpi

 

[QU!K]

I just saw that United lost the FA Cup.

Nice.

Congrats to the Chelsea supporters.

Why does Mourinho still have a job?

Is United's season considered a failure for not bringing any silverware home?

of course.

I think he is gone if we don't win Da Prem and/or the CL. With all the locker room leaks dropping, it's only a matter of time.

Is United's season considered a failure for not bringing any silverware home?

Is Arsenal’s season considered a failure for not coming in 4th?

 

[Kimchi Papi]

^ Yes on both accounts...

However consider the dough United spent last summer transfer & this winter, United is the bigger loser. We all expected Arsenal to kroenke...

Cesc doesn't count as a snub, he's near washed, Spain doesn't really use wingbacks like Alonso, Morata simply needed to be better.

of course.

So he's gone.

 

[QU!K]

Is Arsenal’s season considered a failure for not coming in 4th?

Definitely. It was a very abysmal season for Arsenal. Losing Europa league was everything.

 

[sonoftony]

So he's gone.

not yet

 

[whtascene]

Nuts that Martinez did not pick Radja Nainggolan.

 

[jape]

emery at arsenal

this is gonna be good

 

[rolaholic]

Lmaoo



Need Scholes on the training staff asap



Sheesh



Martinez talking out of both sides of his mouth is no surprise



Need them to stand firm and hold their ground now that they qualified for CL footy...

 

[sonoftony]

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Don't think Fekir ends up at pool
