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

[DuncinToffee]

The season continues ⚽

Well at least it isn't only Arsenal.

People are now saying the Everton over-celebrated last night.

Football makes people happy when things go your way. We are allowed to celebrate.

We had a pitch invasion for staying up in 2022, last night was tame in comparison

@Brefugee I enjoyed reading this BBC article today on the battle for promotion from 2.Bundesliga - sounds like a fascinating contest. How do you think it will play out?

I've just read that he can't play because he wasn't registered in the squad at the start of the season (what with him being only 14 at the time), but they're trying to get permission to register him now.

We could have up to 9 players missing this weekend, Ndiaye is out for weeks so looking at Academy players to fill the bench, sigh

One of Real Madrid's suggestions to stamp out "corruption" among the Spanish referees is to have English referees.

Please could they take Oliver and Kavanagh immediately.

Round 2 of Brighton v Chelsea tonight. Would be very happy with a repeat!

If your not watching Brighton v Chelsea then you have to find a replay of Mitoma's goal- an absolutely incredible touch, he had no right to be able to do that! Beautiful

It was so good!

Ooooh Mitoma is in my FPL

Enjoying Brighton v Chelsea.

@TheSleepingGiant
Good choice. One of my favourite Brighton players to watch. Always gives 100% as well

So am I 😂

A Chelsea loss would be very good for us if we could manage to get a result against City tomorrow.

Thing that is weird about this is somehow despite however it goes tommrow we'll still be near top 4..like how?! Shouldn't be with how our results have been and yet...

Haven't seen the goals yet but congrats Cuwins!

Unbelievable first touch - a thing of sheer beauty!

Merino as striker wasn't on my card for today...

I wondered what Arteta was doing when he brought him on.

Do you think he could be our new striker?

How good was Nwaneri today?

3-0 at half time for Arbroath away at Queen of the South. Hopefully they don't do what I've seen West Ham do so many times from a 3-0 winning position. 🙈

2 goalies, 3 senior players and 4 youngsters on our bench, threadbare squad

Oh dear.

You needen't have worried Tarkan

Yup very happy with that. Much less happy with the Hammers today though. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The state of injuries at one point meant Arbroath only had 3 subs at one stage. But then that led to goalie Ali Adams coming on the pitch (in midfield I think it was) and scoring a cracker of a goal. Still gutted we don't still have him.
