Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

[Everton1654]

Can't remember the last time we were 3 points above the relegation zone

 

[witchdoc187]

I'm looking up not down. Need sheff United to do us a favour

Like injuring their whole squad

 

[jazzy]

Gordon you cheat

He was kicked on the ankle?
Can't stand Gordon but a clear pen I thought

 

[Ducans elbow]

What’s the chances the 3 that came up go straight back down


I know won a game have we

Kicked is rather over playing it.

There was slight contact but that doesn't mean it's a foul. Never a pen for me

 

[tsubaki]

not hard enough to go down, he was through if he'd not thrown himself to the floor

 

[Mozza1987]

2 goals here shouldn't have counted.

 

[Matelot]

What’s the chances 3 they came up go straight back down

On current evidence, highly likely.

 

[witchdoc187]

Callum Wilson should have had a hat trick

 

[jazzy]

You know Sheff U are bad when you realise that not one of their players would get into our team. I'd take Cameron Archer and Hamer for the bench and that's about it

 

[PhilM]

But the hand is directly controlling the ball accidentally or not. So he's gained an advantage from it.

If a striker leathers a ball at point blank range and it hits a defenders hand/arm...there's replays and a court hearing

Mate, I'm not disagreeing: for me, it's a handball and should have been disallowed. Nevertheless, the rules appear to state otherwise.

I've emphasised the word appear because I have no faith in the PL consistently applying this rule or many others. Each week, it feels as if it's made up.

Is it too early to start talking about the goal difference of our relegation fight opponents

Personally, yes. There's still 84% of our league games left, and based on previous years there can always be a swing in-and-around Christmastime.

More the likes that Sheffield United lose the better, but right now I ain't too worried. Luton will go down and Burnley look destined to disappear too.

With our squad, we should not be the other one.

 

[PhilM]

Callum Wilson should have had a hat trick

Isaak not getting a game is surprising for me as he's a top forward. They placed City, the RS and Brighton where he didn't score, and then got dropped.

Agree re Luton and Sheff U.
Burnley I'm not so sure .
They look pretty bad right now but have some talented players in midfield and attack.
Let's hope you're right Phil

 

[Cels]

That Gordon bloke looks decent; the type of young go getter we could do with.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I mean I don't disagree I just don't subscribe to this theory he's the reason they bottled the title.

Don't subscribe to the idea that they 'bottled' it personally.

Think they ran out of steam. They were playing the same 11 virtually all season. City's squad depth won the day.
