The Rolling Football Thread: season 2024/25

[DuncinToffee]

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

“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.”

And how I love Ben White being Ben White-y.

I had Ollie Watkins in my Fantasy team and was willing to sacrifice his points for the greater good.
You are welcome.

I know Brentford's away kit is meant to be pale pink, but to me it just looks as though their kit man left a red sock in their white wash!

There was a thread on MN the other day about a cat who had mysteriously been turning pink and someone then suggested he had been washed with red socks- this looks kind of the same colour! 😂

Newcastle were seriously lucky - should have been a goal for Bournemouth and Joelinton should have been sent off for violent conduct.

Chelsea today did annoyingly well - I don't like it when I can't take the piss out of them!

My first thought was that it looked like they'd asked Liverpool to wash both the kits together. 🤣

Same here- more fun when Chelsea loose!

😂😂😂

I agree about Joelinton. That was a far clearer red than the ridiculous one Schar got last week. What was he thinking?!

The goal though. It clearly comes off his arm just above the elbow (which he only got to because he climbed on Dan Burn’s back) so I think that was a fair decision.

We were not good though. We really need some reinforcements. Big week for us.

Very surprised it was just a yellow for Joelinton, agree it was much worse than last weeks red. Was watching as Spurs travel to SJP next week, so observing the Newcastle team ahead of that. Will be interesting to see what happens with Tripps.

Bore draw for Gillingham away to Fleetwood yesterday but its put them top of league 2

They did very well, didn’t they! I was quite pleased, especially as Cole Palmer played so well - as he usually does, to be fair - and he’s in my FPL team. Although, being a Spurs fan, I know I’m supposed to hate them 😂

😭😭😭😭😭
Also hilarious that I can't watch that clip because of where I am. In the country where it was scored.

(but 😭 one of our favourite ex-players scoring against us 😭)

Oh no. I watched it around 20 times the other night and gave my husband a headache.

It gave me enough of a headache on Friday night in the stadium 😉

Sven-Goran Eriksson has passed away.

His statement only a couple of days ago

“I had a good life. I think we are all scared of the day when we die, but life is about death as well. You have to learn to accept it for what it is. Hopefully at the end people will say, yeah, he was a good man, but everyone will not say that.

“I hope you will remember me as a positive guy trying to do everything he could do. Don’t be sorry, smile. Thank you for everything, coaches, players, the crowds, it’s been fantastic. Take care of yourself and take care of your life. And live it. Bye.”

RIP Sven.

RIP, Sven.

what a lovely last message. RIP Sven.

So sad. RIP Sven.

OK, I like Mikel Merino already...

Sandro Tonali plays football again tonight 🙌🏻

I bet he's looking forward to it...

Just why

This is what he says..

“I wouldn’t move to a club that are not aligned with my desires. What I want is to grow, to win, to fulfil my dreams and I think this club has the same mentality. This is something I value a lot. I value a lot the work they put in every single day.”

He is experienced so fingers crossed a good addition! Will this season finally be our season??

I feel the same, what's the point.

Anyway, its either you or me Dunc in the next round.
