Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

We were rumoured to be interested in Lingard and, as someone said a few pages back, my fume would have been off the charts. Pouty lazy social media footballer who goes missing. Shows how little I know...

Hes not known for picking up gems in the market is Moyes so it boggles the mind.

what a goalline clearance that was

 

[RomanReigns]

if arsenal get the next goal here they could still get something out of this

 

[Death]

That not a pen

Gets pulled back then creased by the keeper.

They are getting in arsenal. A draw be nice for us.

Proper typical Moyes this. Commanding the game, doesn't matter, go backs to the wall for the whole second half.

Better than going backs to the wall for the entirety of 90 minutes, Everton style

 

[Tubey]

Shocking refereeing that.

 

[tsubaki]

Moss really is a disgrace; ruins a chance for a West Ham attack right after missing Partey getting elbowed in the head (edit: whilst looking straight at it)

Moyes grilling the ref

My thoughts too it's barely better than the league cup - a trophy which may (and probably won't) lead to better things.

The cup doesn't help league form, that's absolute rubbish, an Alan Shearer pearl of wisdom that totally disregards reality, it's more likely to be the exact opposite.

Domestic cup winners relegated soon afterwards and still lower league clubs today ...

Swansea, Portsmouth, Wigan, Birmingham City, Middlesbrough

So many domestic cup winners have been relegated, if not the same season then in the year afterwards. Bristol City's promotion run went haywire when they had a cup run. Beware the effect of the FA Cup - Watford humiliated 6-0 two years ago in the final never really got over it.

A stepping stone at best but often a huge negative for other ambitions.

Tell Louis Van Gaal or Roberto Mancini what the magic of the FA Cup means, both sacked straight after winning it.

Van Gaal’s fate was apparently decided before the final and the board didn’t inform him until some hours afterwards. Make of that what you will.

Burton Albion got relegated around the time of their cup run too didn’t they?.

fantastic, emphatic OG from Dawson
