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

[DuncinToffee]

The season continues ⚽

Get it right up that little ned. Can’t stand him or that club. Hope they continue to free fall into oblivion (again). 🤗

Can’t wait to play them in a couple of weeks. I want men, women and kids greeting.

Thoroughly disastrous day of football. My head loss is on par with Anthony Gordon’s. Newcastle United are cursed I swear 😤

Well done @Cuwins and commiserations @JasonTindallsTan

Stupid from Gordon

Wow yes I hadn't really registered that all the other top clubs are out.
I imagine Man City will win but it would be lovely if it was someone different. Obviously I hope it's Brighton!!

Man City are there for the taking. Pep is complaining about the balls now 😂

What did Gordon do? I didn’t watch the match, so not at all up to date.

@Acapulco12 pushed Van Hecke. Just lost his temper a bit really. Nothing awful like the Millwall goal keeper just a bit silly like @DuncinToffee says

Nice to see the BBC calling the 'big six'
'The traditional big six' this morning- certainly aren't the dominating six this year.

Yep, just a bit of argy bargy silliness, a mistimed shove that meant he laid hands on his head rather than the back I think he was going for. I’m trying not to be too furious with him as I think he’ll be beating himself up far longer and worse than anyone else will. Silly lad.

I'm backing Crystal Palace I think, for the FA Cup. Would be wonderful if Preston could do it though

Crystal Palace v Brighton at Wembley would be a bit exciting!
However I don't think we will get past Forest in the next round.

I don't know, it's been so unpredictable this season, I think anything could happen in the cup. I'm impartial now as we're out, so cheering for the biggest underdog, the magic of the cup and all that 😂

Gordon is a nasty fouling thug, it's a shame he gets away with it so much.

And stupid - he's actually quite a talented player.

Eddie Howe encourages it. He defended him yesterday.

Arteta did that when they lost to Newcastle though Newcastle managed fine.
City won sooooo seems a random comment.

Just be nice to have someone different and tbf City have been iffy. Brighton be nice when can say went out to the winnere

Oh have a day off will you 🤦🏼‍♀️

I see the derby really got to Slot 😅

Reason for his red card, he said to Michael Oliver

If we don't win the league, I'll fucking blame you."

Ds2 is watching Real Madrid v athletico.

Dumbarton v Arbroath has just gone to half time on BBC Alba. Crazy first 15 minutes but sitting at 1-1 since then.

Alvarez goal, oh my goodness.

Hopefully we'll manage to finish the job at home against PSV...

I told you they were struggling. My nephew, big Ajax fan, will be delighted.

Try again (my earlier reply was hidden for some reason)

Yep. I wasn't expecting that.

Before the match Adrian Clark who does the commentary for Arsenal was wondering who would score for us (if anyone). He got his answer.

Calafiori as striker next time?
