Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[Nymzee]

Just re-watched the Lille vs Nantes game and they looked mighty impressive against a very flat Nantes. Should be a strong season for them; can see an European spot at the end.

Bielsa played his famed 3-3-3-1 formation that worked well at Marseille. Players ran their socks off for 90 minutes. Suspect Deulofeu would need subbing after 10 if he played in Bielsa team.

What in the name of god possessed Conte to decide it was a good idea for Courtois to take a penalty?

Possibly this? Some keepers are actually pretty decent at pens.

Just watching the last few minutes of the women's euro final. They've got linesmen and everything. It's almost like it's a proper game of football

Wow!!

Well keepers are supposed to be one of the best kickers in the game so if he has any accuracy in his shot (which he clearly does) - he'd be good at that.

Could Wenger be the only manager in the league who has Conte's number?

Beaten him 3 times in 4 attempts now hasn't he?

I think that circumstances have dictated that somewhat. Their first win against them notwithstanding.

Could be, could be

Will be interesting to see their two league meetings this season

And Barnsley.

I do mate, but my abiding memory of Barnsley came when they knocked Man United out of the cup. It was the same season they were in the Premier League though, so I'm counting it

Oldham was a bit before my time, but I've seen clips of Royle just barely keeping them up in 92/93

And Swindon.

Conceded 100 goals that season

Even we stuffed them, and we were cack that year

The worst ever PL team. We beat them 6-2 didn't we?

That was one of the worst games of football I have ever seen. IIRC we were two nil up, they got back to 2-2 and then we somehow fluked a load of goals. There might even have been booing at the end, though of course that was an era where booing was demanded.

Indeed. 3 goals in the last 10 mins. Seemed quite a tight affair till then: http://www.skysports.com/football/everton-vs-swindon/275930
