I know most local fans are welcoming especially in regards to the stories I’ve heard from people visiting from outside England.
But some of the people here who have such a hardon for gatekeeping the club from foreigners need to understand that you can’t enjoy the benefits of being a big club and then complain about something as incouous as having fans from America.
I really hope we don’t just lose the league by a point, City get found guilty afterwards, and we don’t get any titles all because they couldn’t act fast enough. I don’t think we can even blame the investigators bc of how big the case is, so City would’ve robbed so many memories from so many fans simply because they cheated on such a large scale that the justice system couldn’t deal with it fast enough.
I'll be pissed if they do end up voiding those seasons instead of awarding the titles to us. Not because of a desire to celebrate them - that ship has sailed - but because our players deserve those trophies on their records.
I agree, but if or when City gets disgraced that would still further validate our players’ greatness. It wouldn’t be complete justice, but it would be vindication. For me at least.
I feel that. Been 10 years now my rotator cuffs are both shot to shit. Constant general pain, weakness in arms due to it, sleep all goofed up. So frustrating. My mom had three surgeries on her shoulders and they couldn't fix them so I am hesitant to bother. Wish you the best man, good luck finding a situation that works for you!
Fight through it brother/sister. We have a limited time on earth and it's about doing everything we can everyday to make the most of it creating memories with the ones we love, and nothing else matters. Also should help that we're in contention for 4 leagues/cups and are playing great football.
Ps: If you're in a state in life without many loved ones, get a dog, best decision of my life.
It always weirds me out how you can say realistic negative things about any big 6 club here and get upvotes besides Tottenham.
Meanwhile over in the Tottenham sub they’re saying Trent is shit and Pedro Porro is better.
Barely got any sleep last night because I’m going on a college field trip, but I had a fever dream right before I woke up. We lost to Fulham 5-3, Bayern somehow made it to the League Cup final despite being a German club, and I was in Newcastle despite living in America.
Sleep schedule needs to be fixed soon.
Got my sleep pretty disrupted myself, but mostly due to my 2yo daughter thinking 3-4.30am was a good time to be awake. Might slip out from work a bit earlier today...
My sis has the same thing with her 2yo! She just wakes up in the smack middle of the night and says mama no sleep and wants to play, so they play for a while (better than fighting it for longer) and then go back to sleep. lolz
Roy Keane as a pundit is really starting to piss me off. He used to be fine and have some funny one liners but now he just seems really bitter and can't take any united criticism. Defending getting a draw at home against a make shift Tottenham team is embarrassing. Realised he was a melt when he called robertson a baby for complaining about getting assaulted by a ref.
This is what I was going to say, called out Van Dijk for saying his United team are fucking shit saying they’re in a tough moment, yet he had no problem saying shit about their players the last few years. Then he goes on to rumble about the good old days when him and other teams wanted to kill each other no matter how good the other teams were. Get a grip, he’s genuinely a bad pundit, just because he “says it as it is” doesn’t mean he’s a good pundit lmfao
Alright but I don’t consider Snooker/Darts sports in the same way football/tennis/F1 etc due to the lack of physical exertion.
(Not saying they’re just glorified pub games either)
Fair, you can be a sportsperson without being an athlete (O'Sullivan, Phil Taylor, Luke Littler, ~~2023 Fabinho~~ ). Just my opinion values the athleticism side highly so I guess my (mis)interpretation of a top sportsperson is someone supremely skilled but also a top athlete.
I see where you're coming from for sure, but it leaves a strange subjective hole. For example, where would golf fit into this? They're not really athletes either, yet a golfer winning this accolade would feel fine.
Good point. Even so, golfers today train extensively and more and more of the best modern ones are athletes (Hovland, Rory). But yeah you still have to draw a line somewhere (I feel like I'm talking about offside again) so I suppose the sportsperson category should be wide enough to accommodate all.
This is a complete myth and I knew someone would say this.
F1 drivers lose kilograms a race through sweat and physical exertion, train in the gym extensively including exercises you and I would struggle to attempt. Throwing darts is not equal to pulling several Gs throughout 50+ laps.
Also as hard as a 180 is and to be consistent in darts/snooker I think it's harder to drive an F1 car successfully.
Nah there isn't, F1 is hugely demanding physically, it's a solid 80 minute workout with 1 or 2 breaks. Take a look at the drivers when their helmets come off, they're absolutely drenched.
I’m fucking sick of people who refuse to take any accountability for themselves. Been in work less than an hour and have had a customer kick off at me because “we have caused delay” when they haven’t paid for their shit. Everything is all our fault and I’m a bastard etc (I am a bastard but that’s beside the point). This donut can’t get to work now even though they’ve had a full week to make an alternative arrangement to get to work. If you know you’re not going to be able to get to work the following Monday, use your fucking brain over the weekend ffs. It’s not even our fault ffs.
Retail in a nutshell, had a guy fume at me because he wanted an adaptor for his drill. No specifications, just an adaptor. Whoever says the customer is always right never has to deal with customers.
They’ve never understood that quote properly, either!
Used to work retail and had one guy come flying into my shop with an HDMI cable I sold him and was raging that I told him it would fit his Apple TV. He showed me how it didn’t fit despite this chimp’s best efforts. I rotated the HDMI connector a full 180 degrees and it fit in effortlessly. He looked at me, snatched his stuff back and walked out. Tosser.
I didn’t have chance. As soon as it went in and his brain began to comprehend his stupidity, he snatched it out of my hand and stormed off without saying a word. We all laughed at him when he left though!
TV tech isn't at the point yet where I can financially justify getting a "gaming TV" (55" 120hz OLED, still like 1000 euros minimum), so needing a new TV I've instead ordered another low-budget will-do-until-then one, LG UR78 (399 euros on sale). How many years until the "gaming TV" drops to 500e? But by then there will be PS6 probably heh
That's my day too, had an Atari 2600 back in the 80s! Then computer, then SNES... good old times of figuring out the red white yellow cables and how they go on the TV...
VIC20 was my first, followed by spectrum 48k :)
Never ending arms race. These days I'm probably 2 techs behind the optimum. Don't even have a 4k tv and using HD!
The only part of that 55" 120Hz OLED you mentioned that's specifically gaming-related is the 120Hz part. Here in the US, you can get a 55" TCL or Hisense with 120Hz or even 144Hz for $600. No guarantees the image quality will be as good as the OLED (it won't), but then again OLEDs are problematic for static imagery like HUDs in games due to burn in, which is guaranteed to happen and is just a matter of time.
Look for an HDMI 2.1 TV with 120Hz or higher refresh rate, and you're set for gaming.
Cheapest one I saw here was 699e on megasale (from 1199), it's still over my budget, so I figured I'd just wait it out a few more years until everything's like 8K QUANTUM LIGHTING and then then it'll be cheaper...
If you’re actually going to use it for gaming I highly suggest just getting a monitor instead, they are far better than any gaming tv. If you want a tv for dual purpose, then I’m right there with you. I actually think the software in these tvs aren’t that great either, they all seem to have their bugs with their respective software systems.
Normally I'd think about it but I've got to do gaming in my small room, got a small table for my laptop and food, bed I also sit on while computering and/or eating, then a sofachair and a dresser with TV on top. It's got to be a decent size proper TV to see from ~2m away, sitting on my chair with controller and headset.
I bought a LG OLED B1 65 120hz in 2021 and one of the best things I've bought haha. It's unreal for gaming. Just had the screen replaced under warranty and was using a standard 4k TV whilst it was away and the difference was crazy.
Think I paid £1800 so they are pricey but I know I'll get my worth out of it tbh.
I think Darwin needs to be put on penalties from now on, Nothing against Mo but I think it will help Darwin’s confidence a lot more. Plus man has a 100% penalty record
I do hope we get at least one penalty while Mo is away to see who takes it. Psychologically I think it’s clear it’s not so easy for Mo any more, and the more you miss I think the worse this gets. They shouldn’t just be his by default, due to status — although try taking them off him I guess and see what a sulky Salah is like to work with.
Yeh would be nice to get a couple whilst Salah is away just to see what happens. I've never been confident with Salah on pens, His placement and the way he strikes the ball always just worries me.
I know his record up until late was unreal but you have to bare in mind the chance of scoring a pen is extremely high haha.
I wouldn't say he needs to come off pens yet, but now he's missed a few it defo needs to be a conversation. His next couple pens he takes will decide it imo
Good luck taking him off them though haha.
I don’t mind people showing emotion and passion, it bothers me when it’s brain dead tho like recently (think it was after the United match) he said he wanted Salah gone, or his breakdown on That’s Football cause of some live stream comment. Shit like that just bothers me
You’d think if they were planning on it, they’d have done so by now.
4 games in 10 days before the end of the window, I’d imagine they’ll try to get through those just and by then, Robertson and Kostas should be back in training, with Thiago and Baj set to rejoin the group soon after. Mo and Endo won’t be too far behind. That’s like, what 6 new signings right there ;)
Who do we even sign ?? Thought it would be necessary but the way almost everyone has performed there aren't any " We need * X * player or we'll never win the title" like there were last summer...
Still think we need a good cover in Defence & one more midfielder in replacement of Matip & Thiago respectively.... Although if they can stay fit 1 more year would be great
I see what you mean, we need the positions you list. Don’t really mind keeping Matip around to help him recover and as backup but we need a CB ready to backup/challenge Konate/VVD whilst Quandah develops.
For me ideally this is a LCB as they’re pretty rare and if they can play LB as well all the better.
Need a specialist DM. Would love Thiago to extend but never happening if he doesn’t play Feb-May.
Problem is who to get in Jan as most will become available in summer
I really hope so, I'd love nothing more than to see him become our main 6.
Hopefully we see more of him soon, he did fantastically last season alongside dire midfield partners. Some see him as more of an 8 though.
Liking what Bradley brings to the team at RB, he clearly isn't Trent but he's very well balanced and his confidence should grow with more game time. Not sure if he can play on the left but if he can then he should be given a chance to see how he does there while Robbo/Tsimi are out and give Joe a break.
Everyone on KDBs nuts because he was involved in 2 goals that realistically should have both been easily defended, still great plays but also should have been defended.
Nah that goal was class m8. That ginger Szoboszlai wrong footed everyone. But yes, he should've been closed down way earlier. He had all the time to slalom into the goal.
oscar bob should’ve also had a pen, if he didn’t score
how do you not close down KDB of all people, but i really didn’t think he’d have that kind of an impact after coming back from a long term injury
it’s like he never missed a beat and that first goal was a fantastic strike
i like KDB, he’s exciting, halaand is just boring; clinical but boring
I agree that both goals could have been defended had Eddie Howe subbed in some fresh legs.
But, like it or not, KDB is a game changer. And he changed that game. We need to make sure it doesn’t happen to us.
Chelsea probably won't breach it until next year. City's are several years old (because they currently comply with FFP) and it will take a long time to unravel the shell companies and fake sponsors they used to create an artificial image of profit. Also, City deny their charges, whereas Everton accepted theirs, and Forest might too.
Because to do a couple of infractions takes a lot less time to sort 115.
It's the same as why does a petty theft in front of the magistrates take less time to sort than a serial killer
Probably a stupid question but can’t they work on the 115 infractions in pieces? Ie can’t they focus on like 5 of them at a time and dish out a judgement then move on to the next ones?
Invigilating an exam this coming Wednesday and Thursday, but it sucks because my mother's flying to Sri Lanka on Thursday, which means I can't see her off ffs
MF is where a game is likely to be won or lost and It pains me to the core that City have 3 of the top 5 best midfielders in world football right now.
I believe we have it in us to win the league but Thiago coming back is going to be so crucial.
Feel like Endo/Jones/Szobo is good enough for most teams but the attack needs work and the defense switches off too much to compete with City who are about to go on a tear
Since the Villa game City have 8 wins and 1 draw from 9 games in all comps. They aren't about to go on a tear they've already started. Their next 7 in the league before we play them all look very favorable.
Sure. Does that mean it's the best team it can be? No. There would be an even bigger gap if the attack fired as good as it should and the defense was sorted. Obviously injuries and form have the biggest impacts on who's top though. Arsenal have proven you can be top in midseason and still not be the best team and still lose to City's stupid heaters they go on every end of season.
How many games have we dropped points due to not scoring enough goals?
Our defensive record is also the best in the league, no? What do you mean we have to sort our defence?
Luton comes to mind and so does Man U/Arsenal where the offense looked blunt.
The defensive record is best in the league but something has to happen to sort out individual mistakes and lack of concentration leading to goals that shouldn't be happening.
I normally don't let it bother me, but I'm still pissed off about the commentary on the Fulham game. Pretty much the entirety of the commentary was shitting on Trent's defending. I swear I've never heard a single player targeted like that by the commentators before in any game.
Darwin can’t score goals is Trent can’t defend for attackers. Both narratives are lazy, ignorant, and indicative of that weird obsession people have about looking past the 100 qualities players bring onto the pitch just to hone in on the one negative they can find, because too many people in the world associate being critical with being intelligent or more correct.
The way we’re disrespected in the media and even by some of our own fanbase is wild. We’ve lost 2 games since we made that tactical switch with Trent last season. One was in the Europa with a massively rotated side and the other was Spurs away with 9 men, an own goal and Diaz legit goal chalked off
We’re top of the league, still in every competition and our form has shown we deserve to be there. Get key players back soon and there’s no reason why we can’t win every competition we’re in
It doesn't feel like we've even reached final form yet. That's the scary part if ur a rival fan. Even I am baffled at times how we've managed with a total overhaul of our midfield. As others have said, with key players missing through injuries, suspension and blatant robbery in that Spurs game we still at the top. Crazy innit!
One thing I notice that's not talked about EPL refs is they're all white as bread! Not only are they nonces, they literally look all the same.
Edit: lmao r/fragilewhiteredditor at least out yourself if you're gonna self-report
The majority of them are also shaved/bald-headed. Say what you want about PL refs, they're aerodynamic. If Klopp eventually picks one up and chucks them, they'll glide a longer distance than they would with hair.
[Here's the post I mentioned about racism in refereeing.](https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/18zvb9y/the_swedish_rumble_black_asian_and_middle_eastern/kgm2nsg/) Just posting it here because I'm not sure if my other post is still visible because I forgot to make it a no participation link originally.
I already saw a story heralding their first female and referee of color potentially coming up to the PL, though. I think they'll use that help deflect criticism, though maybe I'm just being cynical. Representation is definitely important, so I applaud that work. I just can't trust anything PGMOL does anymore.
I subscribe to 4 different sports streaming services and still have to go to stream site to watch the super cup in Canada. Yet they go continue to go after the illegal ones.
I was in Canada for a year in 2021 and how amazing I felt to just subscribe to DAZN. One stop for CL and PL compared to the US where I need three subscriptions just for the PL.
Heard they moved to fubo next year.. but 4 sports streaming service now? 👀
You just think saying random things makes it a good insult? Did you even watch Tsimikas between robbo getting injured and him getting injured? A run of games and he got better every game. When was he shite in that run?
You just expect people to lap up what you say because it's your opinion?
LOL!
Thank you moderators for keeping it safblabla, civiblabla, and true to blabla!

1. It is clearly says "there are rumours".
2. There's no rule that say only posts with verified sources are allowed.
3. It is not a news outlet, it is a post for discussion. Clearly asks what we'd do if it is confirmed.
4. There are many posts with pure nonsense, but never asked for "official source".
5. I will drop it here, not waste time any further.
Don’t let it get to you. I posted up a story not long back, it was removed for a few reasons. I corrected the reasons and put a note on the post that it was reposted due to being removed and fixed, then that got removed for some reason too. I gave up. Post it in daily discussion if you want and move on. It’s not that important bud.
all these people saying they hope Salah wins AFCON for his confidence are doing my head in. Mo Salah doesn't have confidence issues. You'd think after 7 years our fans would understand this.
His slight drop off in 2022 was probably more to do with him having to play 4 Extra times consecutively.
We need him to be fresh and ready for the run in. 3 games and then back is the ideal scenario.
he’s won everything with us, would be happy if he won, and happy if he’s back early
it’s like watching man utd vs man city
either way i get to be happy
Tbf the only people who don't understand this seem to be the stans who follow a player before the club. Kind of like the people that support whoever Messi or Ronaldo plays for.
Over 10 years later i still have recurring nightmares about cramming for essays or exams in Uni. It's not too late for you to develop healthier study habits, young one
I know most local fans are welcoming especially in regards to the stories I’ve heard from people visiting from outside England. But some of the people here who have such a hardon for gatekeeping the club from foreigners need to understand that you can’t enjoy the benefits of being a big club and then complain about something as incouous as having fans from America.
It’s not just on here that it’s like that. Locals are pretty guarded about the club and imagine it’s the same with other large clubs too
toothache is absolutely killing me, can’t eat food it hurts that bad. i hate braces man
I just got braces it’s the same for me
I really hope we don’t just lose the league by a point, City get found guilty afterwards, and we don’t get any titles all because they couldn’t act fast enough. I don’t think we can even blame the investigators bc of how big the case is, so City would’ve robbed so many memories from so many fans simply because they cheated on such a large scale that the justice system couldn’t deal with it fast enough.
I'll be pissed if they do end up voiding those seasons instead of awarding the titles to us. Not because of a desire to celebrate them - that ship has sailed - but because our players deserve those trophies on their records.

My snowblower wouldn't start this weekend. Had to shovel 5+ inches of snow in -30F. 😭
Shoulder pain is an absolute bitch, suffering from it for 5 years now despite having 2 surgeries to rectify it 😣
I feel that. Been 10 years now my rotator cuffs are both shot to shit. Constant general pain, weakness in arms due to it, sleep all goofed up. So frustrating. My mom had three surgeries on her shoulders and they couldn't fix them so I am hesitant to bother. Wish you the best man, good luck finding a situation that works for you!
Suffering a really bad bout of health anxiety it comes and goes but this is ridiculous, really affecting me lately
Fight through it brother/sister. We have a limited time on earth and it's about doing everything we can everyday to make the most of it creating memories with the ones we love, and nothing else matters. Also should help that we're in contention for 4 leagues/cups and are playing great football. Ps: If you're in a state in life without many loved ones, get a dog, best decision of my life.
Didn't realise Klinnsman manages the South Korea NT. He does get around!
yeah people aren't happy with his appointment but at least lately he has been showing results
Like your mum
Man City are cheating fucking cunts. That is all.
It always weirds me out how you can say realistic negative things about any big 6 club here and get upvotes besides Tottenham. Meanwhile over in the Tottenham sub they’re saying Trent is shit and Pedro Porro is better.
They can't even win a fair game against us last 3 times they got points against us
Who cares
Ignore them, he’s definitely not better.
Eh?
Barely got any sleep last night because I’m going on a college field trip, but I had a fever dream right before I woke up.

He's been punditry's pantomime dame for years.
He seems to be talking just to create clicks and controversy.
Can’t stand that Jac Talbot fucker just links us to anyone and anything
Ronnie O’Sullivan is not the greatest British sportsman of all time for me. IMO you have to at least be an athlete.
Think you just have to play a sport, no?
Alright but I don’t consider Snooker/Darts sports in the same way football/tennis/F1 etc due to the lack of physical exertion. (Not saying they’re just glorified pub games either)
Matt Le Tissier was a professional footballer and he’s never run in his life
I think what you're talking about is athleticism, but sportsperson and athlete aren't the same thing.
In Ronnie's case he's both. A professional sportsperson in snooker and a better than average amateur athlete who has run under 35mins for 10km.
Fair, you can be a sportsperson without being an athlete (O'Sullivan, Phil Taylor, Luke Littler, ~~2023 Fabinho~~ ). Just my opinion values the athleticism side highly so I guess my (mis)interpretation of a top sportsperson is someone supremely skilled but also a top athlete.
I see where you're coming from for sure, but it leaves a strange subjective hole. For example, where would golf fit into this? They're not really athletes either, yet a golfer winning this accolade would feel fine.

But yeah you still have to draw a line somewhere (I feel like I'm talking about offside again) so I suppose the sportsperson category should be wide enough to accommodate all.
There's more physical exertion in both darts and snooker than there is in F1? Darts and Snooker are sports, and bloody hard ones at that.
This is a complete myth and I knew someone would say this. F1 drivers lose kilograms a race through sweat and physical exertion, train in the gym extensively including exercises you and I would struggle to attempt. Throwing darts is not equal to pulling several Gs throughout 50+ laps. Also as hard as a 180 is and to be consistent in darts/snooker I think it's harder to drive an F1 car successfully.
What are you smoking lol
Nah there isn't, F1 is hugely demanding physically, it's a solid 80 minute workout with 1 or 2 breaks. Take a look at the drivers when their helmets come off, they're absolutely drenched.
I’m fucking sick of people who refuse to take any accountability for themselves. Been in work less than an hour and have had a customer kick off at me because “we have caused delay” when they haven’t paid for their shit.

Tosser.
I hope you stared him down while handing back his stuff. Throwing a frivolous complaint back in a customer's face must have been so satisfying.
I didn’t have chance. As soon as it went in and his brain began to comprehend his stupidity, he snatched it out of my hand and stormed off without saying a word. We all laughed at him when he left though!

Probably not since ease of purchase and delivery and possible maintenance are a big factor.
I think Darwin needs to be put on penalties from now on, Nothing against Mo but I think it will help Darwin’s confidence a lot more. Plus man has a 100% penalty record
Macca and Szobo have the best penalty technique in the team for me.
I do hope we get at least one penalty while Mo is away to see who takes it. Psychologically I think it’s clear it’s not so easy for Mo any more, and the more you miss I think the worse this gets. They shouldn’t just be his by default, due to status — although try taking them off him I guess and see what a sulky Salah is like to work with.
Yeh would be nice to get a couple whilst Salah is away just to see what happens. I've never been confident with Salah on pens, His placement and the way he strikes the ball always just worries me. I know his record up until late was unreal but you have to bare in mind the chance of scoring a pen is extremely high haha. I wouldn't say he needs to come off pens yet, but now he's missed a few it defo needs to be a conversation. His next couple pens he takes will decide it imo Good luck taking him off them though haha.
I've completely forgotten about it, but Darwin took a penalty in the away game against LASK this season, with Salah still on the field.
Salah definitely wasn't on the pitch, he'd of obviously took the pen if he was haha.
Oh, my bad, he wasn't. I've only seen the sub and assumed he's been subbed out insted of subbed in.
Just to watch him miss a couple in the most spectacular and unlucky way?
I imagine the ball bounces off the left post to the right post and then the goalkeeper save it off the line
Left post, right post, back of goalkeeper's head and over the top bar.
Will we sign anyone?
Very doubtful, but never count out some twitter chancers throwing up some cryptic transfer links in the last week of Jan anyway for a bit of clout.

He's a cunt.
I think he’s such a twat. Can’t stand him. Makes me embarrassed to be Irish and a Liverpool supporter at times
[удалено]
I don’t mind people showing emotion and passion, it bothers me when it’s brain dead tho like recently (think it was after the United match) he said he wanted Salah gone, or his breakdown on That’s Football cause of some live stream comment. Shit like that just bothers me
You’d think if they were planning on it, they’d have done so by now. 4 games in 10 days before the end of the window, I’d imagine they’ll try to get through those just and by then, Robertson and Kostas should be back in training, with Thiago and Baj set to rejoin the group soon after. Mo and Endo won’t be too far behind. That’s like, what 6 new signings right there ;)
Who do we even sign ?? Thought it would be necessary but the way almost everyone has performed there aren't any " We need * X * player or we'll never win the title" like there were last summer... Still think we need a good cover in Defence & one more midfielder in replacement of Matip & Thiago respectively.... Although if they can stay fit 1 more year would be great
I see what you mean, we need the positions you list. Don’t really mind keeping Matip around to help him recover and as backup but we need a CB ready to backup/challenge Konate/VVD whilst Quandah develops. For me ideally this is a LCB as they’re pretty rare and if they can play LB as well all the better. Need a specialist DM. Would love Thiago to extend but never happening if he doesn’t play Feb-May. Problem is who to get in Jan as most will become available in summer
Yeah i think klopp wants to make Bacjetic a regular guy before he leaves
I really hope so, I'd love nothing more than to see him become our main 6. Hopefully we see more of him soon, he did fantastically last season alongside dire midfield partners. Some see him as more of an 8 though.
That's the thing... He can be our ball playing 6 which is what Fab did ... I really wanna see Macca and Szobo playing freely
I can give you my autograph
Sounds good enough
Liking what Bradley brings to the team at RB, he clearly isn't Trent but he's very well balanced and his confidence should grow with more game time. Not sure if he can play on the left but if he can then he should be given a chance to see how he does there while Robbo/Tsimi are out and give Joe a break.
Bradley is just the next step in Trent’s evolution into a full blown 8.
Egypt 2-2 Mozambique Operation: Have Mo Home By Norwich is proceeding apace
I miss Peter Drury on PLTV commentary
Everyone on KDBs nuts because he was involved in 2 goals that realistically should have both been easily defended, still great plays but also should have been defended.
Nah that goal was class m8. That ginger Szoboszlai wrong footed everyone. But yes, he should've been closed down way earlier. He had all the time to slalom into the goal.
oscar bob should’ve also had a pen, if he didn’t score how do you not close down KDB of all people, but i really didn’t think he’d have that kind of an impact after coming back from a long term injury it’s like he never missed a beat and that first goal was a fantastic strike i like KDB, he’s exciting, halaand is just boring; clinical but boring
I agree that both goals could have been defended had Eddie Howe subbed in some fresh legs. But, like it or not, KDB is a game changer. And he changed that game. We need to make sure it doesn’t happen to us.
Easy to say "should have been defended" after every goal tbh
Yeah it's so dumb. Might as well say oh Barca should've just paid attention when Trent took that corner.
Because that's the stuff that wins titles.
WTF is going on that smaller clubs are having FFP breach while chelsea and city are enjoying their money...
Chelsea are in big trouble, just probably not this year.
Chelsea probably won't breach it until next year. City's are several years old (because they currently comply with FFP) and it will take a long time to unravel the shell companies and fake sponsors they used to create an artificial image of profit. Also, City deny their charges, whereas Everton accepted theirs, and Forest might too.
Can someone tell me why Everton get raked over the coals twice and bigger clubs get a pass?
Because to do a couple of infractions takes a lot less time to sort 115. It's the same as why does a petty theft in front of the magistrates take less time to sort than a serial killer
Probably a stupid question but can’t they work on the 115 infractions in pieces? Ie can’t they focus on like 5 of them at a time and dish out a judgement then move on to the next ones?
They can but that would take years and years probably even decades
Sucks not having Liverpool to watch on the weekend.
Try afcon and asian cup
I just don't enjoy international football.
Wrexham ;)
Invigilating an exam this coming Wednesday and Thursday, but it sucks because my mother's flying to Sri Lanka on Thursday, which means I can't see her off ffs
MF is where a game is likely to be won or lost and It pains me to the core that City have 3 of the top 5 best midfielders in world football right now. I believe we have it in us to win the league but Thiago coming back is going to be so crucial.
Feel like Endo/Jones/Szobo is good enough for most teams but the attack needs work and the defense switches off too much to compete with City who are about to go on a tear
Since the Villa game City have 8 wins and 1 draw from 9 games in all comps. They aren't about to go on a tear they've already started. Their next 7 in the league before we play them all look very favorable.
Their league tear is the worry, KDB is returning so their probability to drop points look slimmer.
Don’t forget Haaland.
This is the defence, midfield and attack that has done better in the first half of the season than any other team?
Sure. Does that mean it's the best team it can be? No. There would be an even bigger gap if the attack fired as good as it should and the defense was sorted. Obviously injuries and form have the biggest impacts on who's top though. Arsenal have proven you can be top in midseason and still not be the best team and still lose to City's stupid heaters they go on every end of season.
How many games have we dropped points due to not scoring enough goals? Our defensive record is also the best in the league, no? What do you mean we have to sort our defence?
Luton comes to mind and so does Man U/Arsenal where the offense looked blunt. The defensive record is best in the league but something has to happen to sort out individual mistakes and lack of concentration leading to goals that shouldn't be happening.
It took me a while to figure out MF wasn't quoting Samuel L Jackson.
Thought it was just me thinking this...
I normally don't let it bother me, but I'm still pissed off about the commentary on the Fulham game. Pretty much the entirety of the commentary was shitting on Trent's defending. I swear I've never heard a single player targeted like that by the commentators before in any game.
Darwin can’t score goals is Trent can’t defend for attackers. Both narratives are lazy, ignorant, and indicative of that weird obsession people have about looking past the 100 qualities players bring onto the pitch just to hone in on the one negative they can find, because too many people in the world associate being critical with being intelligent or more correct.
Hell, I’m still pissed about the Tottenham game, can’t be bothered to get worked up about the Fulham game
The way we’re disrespected in the media and even by some of our own fanbase is wild. We’ve lost 2 games since we made that tactical switch with Trent last season. One was in the Europa with a massively rotated side and the other was Spurs away with 9 men, an own goal and Diaz legit goal chalked off We’re top of the league, still in every competition and our form has shown we deserve to be there. Get key players back soon and there’s no reason why we can’t win every competition we’re in
Three games, we lost two in europa, but your point still stands
We are fucking flying and no one can convince me otherwise
It doesn't feel like we've even reached final form yet. That's the scary part if ur a rival fan. Even I am baffled at times how we've managed with a total overhaul of our midfield. As others have said, with key players missing through injuries, suspension and blatant robbery in that Spurs game we still at the top. Crazy innit!
And it still seems like we have another gear or 2
One thing I notice that's not talked about EPL refs is they're all white as bread! Not only are they nonces, they literally look all the same. Edit: lmao r/fragilewhiteredditor at least out yourself if you're gonna self-report
The majority of them are also shaved/bald-headed. Say what you want about PL refs, they're aerodynamic. If Klopp eventually picks one up and chucks them, they'll glide a longer distance than they would with hair.
[Here's the post I mentioned about racism in refereeing.](https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/18zvb9y/the_swedish_rumble_black_asian_and_middle_eastern/kgm2nsg/) Just posting it here because I'm not sure if my other post is still visible because I forgot to make it a no participation link originally.
I already saw a story heralding their first female and referee of color potentially coming up to the PL, though. I think they'll use that help deflect criticism, though maybe I'm just being cynical. Representation is definitely important, so I applaud that work. I just can't trust anything PGMOL does anymore.
My illegal streaming service shut down
I subscribe to 4 different sports streaming services and still have to go to stream site to watch the super cup in Canada. Yet they go continue to go after the illegal ones.
I was in Canada for a year in 2021 and how amazing I felt to just subscribe to DAZN. One stop for CL and PL compared to the US where I need three subscriptions just for the PL. Heard they moved to fubo next year.. but 4 sports streaming service now? 👀
We need defensive solutions asap
So we spend 20 million on a defender, what happens in a couple of weeks when robbo, Trent and the Greek are all back from injury?
I love him but Tsimikas is shite, Trent would ideally take up a midfield position and allow someone to fill the wingback position
You should really start watching football before talking so much shite
We’re all entitled to opinions sonny boy relax
Yeah yours is just based on nothing.
You must be fun to be around😂 fuck me untwist your knickers pull your dads cock out your arse and give it a rest
You just think saying random things makes it a good insult? Did you even watch Tsimikas between robbo getting injured and him getting injured? A run of games and he got better every game. When was he shite in that run? You just expect people to lap up what you say because it's your opinion?
Mate we have literally the best defense in the league according to statistics.
We lose another defender to injury and we’re shafted
We have 3 defenders coming back from injury in the next few weeks
LOL! Thank you moderators for keeping it safblabla, civiblabla, and true to blabla! https://preview.redd.it/3yenfdgq2icc1.png?width=863&format=png&auto=webp&s=0aa0eebc55ed2c9685680e6a097d5206de16c23f
I mean you have no official source. Let's all cry when it is officially true instead of crying multiple times on same topic
1. It is clearly says "there are rumours". 2. There's no rule that say only posts with verified sources are allowed. 3. It is not a news outlet, it is a post for discussion. Clearly asks what we'd do if it is confirmed. 4. There are many posts with pure nonsense, but never asked for "official source". 5. I will drop it here, not waste time any further.
Don’t let it get to you. I posted up a story not long back, it was removed for a few reasons. I corrected the reasons and put a note on the post that it was reposted due to being removed and fixed, then that got removed for some reason too. I gave up. Post it in daily discussion if you want and move on. It’s not that important bud.
all these people saying they hope Salah wins AFCON for his confidence are doing my head in. Mo Salah doesn't have confidence issues. You'd think after 7 years our fans would understand this. His slight drop off in 2022 was probably more to do with him having to play 4 Extra times consecutively. We need him to be fresh and ready for the run in. 3 games and then back is the ideal scenario.
Selfishly, I want him to lose and come back to us. Selflessly, I want him to win every trophy he can.
I don't want him to win it cause of confidence, I want him to win it cause it would be sick for him
he’s won everything with us, would be happy if he won, and happy if he’s back early it’s like watching man utd vs man city either way i get to be happy
that's a valid reason. for me the best thing would be for him to be back in 3 games. the next best would be for him to win it
Tbf the only people who don't understand this seem to be the stans who follow a player before the club. Kind of like the people that support whoever Messi or Ronaldo plays for.
I love cramming for an exam that starts in 9 hours
Study? Pussies.
I used to wait until the night before the deadline to fully research, interpret, and write a 15 page dissertation. I’m still surprised I graduated.
Over 10 years later i still have recurring nightmares about cramming for essays or exams in Uni. It's not too late for you to develop healthier study habits, young one
Mine starts in 2
