Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[toffeejack]

Yea not too shocked. They really haven't been dominant lately and just have been grinding out wins in a league that's not very good this year. Last years team was better.

If city get overturned that'll all prem teams out before the quarters, with arsenal being knocked out of Europa by olympiacos. Shows just how poor the prem is.

Their last truly convincing win was 4-0 against Southampton on Feb 1st, in the 8 games since their kids struggled to see of Shrewsbury, the first team only just beat struggling Norwich, lost in Madrid, had to come back from 1-2 down v Moyes’ West Ham, lost the unbeaten league record in style at Watford, got comfortably beaten in the cup at Chelsea, survived a scare to beat Bournemouth and lost tonight after being 2-0 up in extra time

Are they finally showing some wear and tear?

Anyone would think the effects of something being taken was wearing off, can apparently happen after prolonged use!

The crying on BBC about the way athletico play over both games was utterly pathetic. They've scored 4 goals in this tie, this wasn't exactly benitez winning ties 1-0 and 0-0 which they didn't moan about back then. Probably the most boring team in CL history.

The revisionism over Benitez and Houllier is astounding. Terrible football from both of them.

The only explanation I can rationally think of is they import their PEDs from China and stocks are running low so the buck toothed gobshite is watering them down to make them last

Even more reason to make our 4th place teams actually have to qualify rather than getting straight in

I didn't watch either leg, but I was fairly secure in the knowledge that Atletico would stuff them tbh, an unusually certain feeling when it comes to the RS these days. I hope Atletico go all the way now

 

[Brisan123]

I watched the first half in a pub. A minute before kick off loads of them took off their coats to reveal virgil shirts etc. Embarrassments.

They were out in force in my local last night
Funnily enough when I looked around after the final whistle 90% of them had gone
True story

Little toad that Owen, there’s a reason he’s hated by the fans of every Club he’s ever played for.

 

[Brisan123]

I just can't see any way this season's European competitions run to completion tbh although the bosses at EUFA seem too be breaking records for stupidity and greed atm.

Despite Arsenal vs City being called off due to Olympiakos' owner having Covid19, they've ignored club and premier league appeals for Wolves' Europa league fixture to be called off. Meanwhile it's left to the individual associations and clubs to decide a closed doors policy or to appeal against playing at all. There is no leadership, hard decisions, responsibility or guidance given by the administrators at the top running the competitions.

It's like the bad old days of Michel Platini when with money the primary motivation, policies were made on the hoof with vested interests paramount above common sense. Mr Corruption set the tone but following this precedent could now cost lives.

Nail on the head

Indeed arrogance. And Klipity klop is back feeding them all, the result its not right, they did not play proper football. Be magnanimous in defeat crybabies.

Packed my lad off to school and told him to go into full wind up mode and enjoy himself. He's only got approx a 5 day window before they probably clinch the title so I said this will be his last chance to cause them some wonderful salty tears.

Disagree with this, we've just had 4 English sides contesting the Champions League final and the Europa League final? As far as I can remember, that's about as good as it gets and doesn't happen to often.

If you include United winning it a couple of years ago, City reaching the latter stages of the CL the year before and Liverpool getting to another final too. Plus Wolves making a good stick of it this year in European competition too.

Prem is stronger than ever.

This is nonsense but it's all been said before

Hope City won the FA cup and CL now just to totally eclipse their title win.
