Football fans join in to share the joy, the heartache and VAR frustration ⚽

The thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.

I am not sure if I have posted on here before but…

Being an Arsenal fan is stressful. We didn’t seem to be able to shoot. Why Arteta didn’t take Eddie off earlier, I do not know. I am assuming Jesus isn’t up to full fitness yet… but even so.

It has not been a great few weeks to be a Newcastle fan 🙄

although there’s some comfort in us being shite again. Order has been restored.

I so often feel this (see the Saints result after being unbeaten)

There is something about always being shite, the danger is when we get some hope.

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 03/09/2023 23:10

As I've always said, it's not the despair that gets you, it's the hope...

Newcastle strip. Can't see why Havertz didn't get penalised for simulation.

Yes, I agree (Arsenal fan), but I have noticed that they don't seem to be booking players when penalty decisions are not given. I assume they have been told not to as it happens a lot.

Went to the Chelsea game for Vialli yesterday. Good game..bittersweet in a way. Thr tributes were lovely. Nice to see also the older lot can still play!

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 10/09/2023 12:39

I always love the legends games, and go to see as many as I can.

It's great to see Anders Limpar bombing down the wing, even though he's older than I am!

HalleLouja · 10/09/2023 15:12

Ah the super Swede Anders Limpar. Loved him.

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 10/09/2023 18:32

"Limpar from the half-way line"...

so are all you Liverpool fans starting to worry now the German national coach has been fired?

Klopp isn't (yet) top of anyone's list (that I've seen on the internet or TV/radio) to take over, but it is surely only a matter of time.

Hothotdamage · 12/09/2023 19:10

Scotland's cup final tonight, hopefully be a good game

user1471453601 · 12/09/2023 19:22

@Brefugee I'm a worried Liverpool fan. Sky sports are/ were saying Klopp is the number one target for Germany. I totally understand Germany's interest. I think it's down to whether Klopp wants to continue his 're build at LFC, or fancies a change to a more part time job.

I can see the attraction for either post for him. I'm hoping that the desire to work every day with a bunch of players out weighs the less frenetic job of managing a club day by day and going with his national side.

Should be choose to go, I'd still be grateful for everything he's brought to our team.

Oblomov23 · 12/09/2023 19:47

Don't like all the booing, disrespectful.

Brefugee · 12/09/2023 19:59

Who is being booed?

Both sets of fans booed the national anthems and then the England fans booed during the minute silence for former Scotland manager Craig Brown

I don’t think Klopp will take the Germany job (if it’s offered to him). Last season, maybe, but he seems to be feeling reenergised after the midfield refresh for this season. (I bloody hope he stays!)

burblish · 12/09/2023 21:13

For those watching Scotland v England: you just knew if anyone was going to score an own goal, it would be the hapless Harry Maguire!

There's a reason why the Arsenal fans cheered when he came on against us!

EddieHowesShithousingMags · 12/09/2023 23:18

Poor Harry. I really feel for him. I hope he doesn’t read any social media as it can’t be good for his mental health.

German news reporting that he's said he is staying where he is. Favourite is now van Gaal.

The booing is ridiculous. Nasty.

Oblomov23 · 16/09/2023 09:51

We are getting ready to go to London today to see Spurs, v Sheffield, managed to finally get 4 tickets, so ds1 who is home, (hasn't started year 2 of uni yet) can also come. can't wait! Seriously excited.

TheSleepingGiant · 16/09/2023 10:10

Enjoy @Oblomov23 - hopefully you will get to see an entertaining game and convincing win, although I'm a bit nervous due to Ange winning the MOTM and the curse that goes with that.

And just to make you all jealous, I'm off to Priestfield later to see Gillingham v Morecombe 😆

Oblomov23 · 16/09/2023 10:10

I did think that too Sleeping, impending curse!
Enjoy yours too!

Tarkan · 16/09/2023 10:11

Hope those going to matches have great games. I'm finally back to Gayfield today after my bout of Covid and then DH and I are off to the bingo afterwards so I wouldn't trust anything I post after 5pm tbh. 😁

EddieHowesShithousingMags · 16/09/2023 10:20

DS and i off to St James’ this afternoon for a must win match against Brentford. Good luck everyone else!
