Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[TheBigIguana]

I think that the thing about losing on a Friday night, is that, football wise, your weekend can’t get any worse.
Going to a game tomorrow, couple of beers tomorrow night. It’s all cool.
(Ps. GRrrrr.)

Opposite for me. I have no desire to flip on and watch people gush over other teams knowing we stunk the place out.

Watching others stink after Palace have stunk is therapeutic. For me at least.

Gonna be a weekend of teams around us picking up points imo looking at the fixtures.

Need a winner desperately against the Geordies to keep us on track and not blow the confidence of the side.

When did this "joint top' phrase start becoming a thing? Wolves went to third place, not joint top. Is it literally just because we're top and they can't take it?

It must be exhausting having this kind of outlook day after day.

Yes. It isn't specifically us, but if one of they mythical 6 is tied with someone outside it has to be joint top.

I don't know what's pi$$ed me off more, the red card to Milosovic or the stupid, imo, commentary.

First, I don't like sliding tackles. There's usually no need for them and they have a low percentage success rate because most players aren't any good at them.

They'd be much better off staying on their feet when tackling.

Now, Milosovic clearly got the ball first and the follow through, which is usually called out is just momentum. You can't just pull up after kicking the ball.

And the commentary - I don't know who it was - 'That was a dreadful late tackle'. How was it late? You've got to get your foot to the ball when it gets there, not
two seconds after it's gone.

I know a lot of you won't agree with me, but I'm not changing my mind.

You can't let players go open season on opponents because they got the ball first.

I'm not saying we should, but it's clearly impossible not to 'follow through' and that's why I don't like sliding tackles. Do you know what a block tackle is?

I'm not trying to be smart, but it's not seen much or talked about in modern football. What we get now is the sliding tackle, even from the front like that crazy
tackle that got Richo sent off, or players backing away and not closing down.

There was a time when players stayed on their feet when tackling and it was far more effective and a lot fewer penalties and sendings off.

Showing your age there I think, my daughter must get fed up of me saying “great tackle that, wasn’t even a foul never mind a yellow”.

Not as exhausting as having to defend that big galoot Iwobi weekend and weekend lol

My nickname for Iwobi is ‘Crab’...but I like your ‘big galoot’ as well. I might start calling him ‘BG’
