The Rolling Football Thread (season 2022/23) - part 2

[DuncinToffee]

New thread to continue with all things football ⚽

Yes, it was a nervy first half. They had at least 3 excellent shots on target.

Having seen how Man City beat Liverpool today, we will need to up our game if we are going to have any chance of beating City.

Arsenal v Leeds chants in the North Bank:

”There’s a Star-Man, playing on the right,
His name’s Bukayo Saka and he’s fucking dynamite”

”He’s one of your own,
He’s one of your own,
Jimmy Saville,
He’s one of your own”

Just watched MOTD and the bit where they had the two Rocky shirts was a great touch.

Ben White commented about playing for Leeds and how much he learned.

My DH is a Leeds fan, so not so happy. But he wants Arsenal to win the league.

Love that Bukayo Saka song!

I miss all that since I gave up my season ticket...

Brendan Rodgers sacked

Any chance Spurs might look at Rodgers, I wonder? Or will they lure Poch back?

800 appearances for Phil Jagielka 👏

The kid thinks Rogers for Spurs would be good. Can't see them going back to Poch.

Newcastle game good, what a manager, Bournemouth should have clung onto him.

As a Saints fan shame about CP, but I love Roy.

Yes the only thing keeping me going this season is the chance that the Ev will be relegated 🤣

Nice

Could you at least call us Everton or the Toffees, ta.

I don't wish relegation upon anyone.

Chelsea sack Potter

2 managers gone today.

Wonder if Conte will go back to Chelsea? Potter straight to Leicester?

Think Chelsea will go for Nagelsmann. I like Potter but always thought him taking the Chelsea job was too much too soon.

How many PL managers have been sacked this season? Must be a record.

Potter makes 13.

13!

Wow. I didn't think it was in double figures.

Good luck tomorrow.

Thank you!

Mumsafan, I was a bit snappy with you earlier, hope I haven't scared you away.

It certainly feels like the managerial merry-go-round has been particularly brutal this season. I can understand some of the sackings, but I generally feel that clubs don’t give managers enough time anymore. Some owners also have a fatal combination of unrealistic expectations and short memories (I also include here the alleged Liverpool “fans” who think Klopp should get the chop. Idiots.).

We played earlier name the PL teams that have the same mansger that they started the year with. We had 8.

Shocked about Potter. Please please please please send him to Saints.

But that must count the Saints double sacking

It's actually 12 sackings.

I got 13 from the BBC article but it now states 13 managerial changes which would include Potter leaving Brighton.

Parker
Tuchel
Lage
Gerrard
Hasenhuttle
Lampard
Marsch
Jones
Vieira
Conte
Rodgers
Potter

I’m still coming down from my high yesterday. What a game. Manchester Reds stood absolutely no chance against us, we played them off the pitch. Screw Luke Shaw saying we didn’t beat them on quality, they couldn’t hold a candle to us yesterday!

So true, we battered them from start to finish. They’re not a good team without Casemiro. I cannot stand Bruno Fernandes either, proper little rat he is.

Antony has a face you’d never tire of slapping!

The crowd were insane as well. De Gea’s time wasting from minute one got the reception it deserved from the start and we just never stopped singing.

And Jacob Murphy back to his shithousing best https://twitter.com/nufc_hq/status/1642583794128486404?s=46&t=b7y-Ah12QATVnL1_dJx3PA
