The Rolling Football Thread: season 2024/25 - part 2

[DuncinToffee]

The season continues ⚽

Thanks Duncin!

Lovely!

Thanks for the new thread

Well, Man U played well in the second half. And it takes a lot for me (LFC supporter for 50+ years) to say that. But there is no getting away from it.

But Arsenal without Saka is a different beast to Arsenal with him.

We won (feels faint) 😂😇

Newcastle safely through, had a little grin at Bromley scoring the first goal, what a moment for their fans, they went wild. Really chuffed for Osula getting his first goal he was SO happy. His family were sat up behind us so he celebrated in our corner, his little face was a picture. Great goal for him and for Lewis Miley, Miley is going to be a heck of a player.

Happy with Birmingham away in the next round. Won’t be an easy game but we should get through.

Thank you kindly @DuncinToffee Op!

On my way back to Manchester obviously very happy.

I have to say if every player had the mentality of Harry Maguire, the game would be much better. He's been ridiculed, dropped, demoted from captain and he's not once given up, he's not once complained, he's fought for his right to play football and conducted himself with a professionalism that should be applauded. He was immense today.

Really... Chelsea in the next round 🤦‍♀️
Not only that but we will be playing them twice in 6 days now. Oh well 🤷‍♀️

Charges for PSR to be released today, but BBC reporting no charges, all PL clubs compliant 👍

Good to hear, just shows what a farce PSR and the EPL are

"English" week in the Bundesliga this week. That means, unusually for Germany (except for cup matches) midweek games on Tuesday & Wednesday. Gladbach away to Wolfsburg - which means I need to find somewhere to be while DH watches it in TV

Sure you'll be happy for one of those if not both given our blippy blip
..just find it bit boring when falls like that. Oh you again.. and again 🤣

bloody Norah, Gladbach. Gutless and useless. Lost 5-1 to Wolfburg.

A win for West Ham! Was close to being a draw at one point though. Phew!

Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan will be the new Match of the Day presenters from next season, the BBC has announced.

At last the BBC has chosen likeable people. Very happy but it took far too long.

Watching Arsenal v Spurs.

Got Rangers v Aberdeen on here. Enjoying the score so far.

That Bergvall's a nasty piece of work...

I could have sworn it was announced about a month ago 🤷🏼‍♀️

Routine win at St James’ tonight. Alexander Isak is a goal scoring machine 🙌🏻🙌🏻

We could dow with someone who scores goals, DCL missing too many chances.

No new manager bounce but we did look a bit better and should have had a penalty.

I captained Isak in FPL

I tried putting my FPL Captain curse on Salah, but it didn't work, so I've put it back on Haaland...

I got rid of Haaland a while back and no red shite players in my team 😂

I need to replace Jesus now

Gutted for Jesus-seems particularly awful as he had just found his form. I can't help rooting for him but sadly I suspect he won't play again for us.

Loved Declan Rice's post match interview where he said it felt like we could have scored 10. Maybe if we had a striker????

And am really really behind Havertz. Was so hoping for a goal for him.
His wife has been on the receiving end of unbelievably vile posts on twitter after the ManU game. I hope the police investigate and there are repercussions. I am not a fan of "hurty words" being a crime but this was beyond.
Saying they hoped she had a miscarriage and threatening to kill her baby etc.

And isn't Myles Lewis Skelly a bloody gem??
