A 2015/16 Football Thread

So on the same basis, lance could claim he didn’t know what this whole EPO thing was about, and can I have my yellow t shirts back please?

You’ve got to love the footballing authorities for their utter and complete shamelessness…

On the other subject, any Chelski fans want to comment on Jose’s remarks about finally being at a genuinely great premiership club? 😆

Jesus, he’s barely wiped his feet and you’re blowing smoke up his arse already. 😀

I’d say the premierships already ours next season Bravissimo, but I’ve already put my money on Burnley! 😉

Come on Atletico!

That was a lovely goal, so it was. 🙂

Atletico need to win this as karmic retribution for Pepe.

On the other subject, any Chelski fans want to comment on Jose’s remarks about finally being at a genuinely great premiership club?

as a neutral, I’d say absolutely fair comment!

Ronaldo looks like he’s been hitting the same bronzer they use at bodybuilding comps.

Come on Athletico!!!!

Ronaldo is picking his day to have a bad day at the office

Extra time I reckon….

*jinx*

Ronaldo needs a Scouse brow to complete the look 🙂

If “scouse brow” is slang for being headbutted in the face, then I agree.

I realise I’m now just repeating what McManaman said but fair dues to Clattenburg – he’s reffed that game well.

😐

I reckon penalties should be banned, it’s a crap way to win somethig, particular in cup finals.

Dissapointed not see Athletico win. Pleased for Zidane though and hope Bale is fit for the Euros

Arse! I didn’t used to mind him when he was our ****! But now he’s just a ****!

In a worrying development, Mrs Binners (who’s a bloody Bolton fan FFS!) has spent the day chanting Joseeee Maaaaariniooooo in the style of a shit thick Chelski meathead. I’m hoping the novelty wears off soon

yes something this important should not be won this way

If there’s a silver lining, it’s Simeone not winning something, the sneaky cock.

Pepe is up there with Donald Trump in the dis-likeable stakes isn’t he? What a clown.

Regarding sneaky cocks, seems like a good time for a repost of Ronaldo and his BIG trophy . What a pronounced trophy it is!

Just seen that Pepe thing – seriously? This is the sort of thing that fifa/uefa need to give players bans for.

I got the feeling Clattenburg considered booking him for one of them and would than have had to send him off as he was on a yellow. Someone’s got to deal with it though and if they do start dishing out cards it will stop.

Lol at the Ronaldo statue! Photoshop surely?!

Nah the photo is real. It’s a self commissioned statue of Ronaldo in his town of birth I think. If you haven’t seen the film ‘Ronaldo’ it is fantastic . His ego and self drive are incredible. It’s hard to watch it and not to come away with the feeling that Ronaldo must shout his own name during sex

Clatternberg should have given a second yellow it was a joke. Also the Ramos yellow could have been more. Overall I thought it was a pretty dull game overall typical Spanish big game with loads of fouls and dives that ruin the game and prevent it from being free flowing.

Penalties are good. The players were wrecked only way of finishing it really.

You really have to wonder what is going on inside some people’s heads….

Danny Drinkwater didn’t make the squad? Ok then 😐

Goalkeepers

Joe Hart (Manchester City)
Tom Heaton (Burnley)
Fraser Forster (Southampton).

Defenders

John Stones (Everton)
Nathaniel Clyne (Liverpool)
Chris Smalling (Manchester United)
Ryan Bertrand (Southampton)
Kyle Walker (Tottenham)
Gary Cahill (Chelsea)
Danny Rose (Tottenham).

Midfielders

Adam Lallana (Liverpool)
Dele Alli (Tottenham)
Jordan Henderson (Liverpool)
Raheem Sterling (Man City)
Ross Barkley (Everton)
Eric Dier (Tottenham)
Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)
James Milner (Liverpool).

Forwards

Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)
Marcus Rashford (Man Utd)
Wayne Rooney (Man Utd)
Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)
Harry Kane (Tottenham).

Going out first round.

At least two of those players will get no game time as they’re not remotely match fit, on account of being made of glass FFS! Its not even worth paying for their flights! Theres another 2 or 3 on there that have had absolutely woeful seasons, and are going purely on the strength of their transfer fees, or perceived transfer fees.

Then there’s Jordon Henderson.

not many winner medals in that mid field.

And a weak looking defensive group too.

Our best 11 out of that lot would probably only just make the top half of the premier league table if they were a club team.

We have actually just left a midfielder at home who has played every single game he was entitled to play in over the entire season, who has won the Premier League playing in a 4-4-2 and has quite rightly been praised all season by those with eyes for playing an all round and versatile role.

In his place we have a player who has not even played 5 games in the entire season.

We have someone in Jordan Henderson who isn’t fit to clean the lads boots.

Tell me Woy, if Danny Drinkwater played for Liverpool and Henderson played for the current English champions, would you be taking Henderson?

On the Brightside the lad is better off out of this circus, I just wish he’d left Vardy at home as well to avoid the inevitable playing out of position.

On the plus side, at least it’s one less player to get crocked at the Euros for LCFC.

It’s like Wilshere is taking the bullet for Drinkwater 😀

I think it’s a decent squad , sorry. Drinkwater is maybe unlucky but I guess he wants a blend of experience and wildcards.

Hopefully the experience is able to find it’s way from the treatment table to the wildcards left on the pitch.

Drinkwater should have made the squad, no question imho. Wilshire and Llana in, really you couldn’t make it up !

If a combination of Varney, Kane, Rooney, Rashford can’t fill the 1 or 2 forwards spots then we are lost.

That England team has doesn’t look like it has anyone to control the midfield bar Dier, who’s going to be rather busy me thinks. How does Wilshire get picked over Drinkwater ridiculous?

Image and club prestige over form and merit.

Alli and Dier the only 2 midfielders truly worth the entry fee.

Henderson and Milner 😆

If a combination of Varney, Kane, Rooney, Rashford can’t fill the 1 or 2 forwards spots then we are lost.

He’ll probably play Varney on the left….or even on the buses.

🙂
