The Rolling Footbal Thread: Season 2026/27

[DuncinToffee]

New season, new thread

All things football ⚽

I am alright this year, Gordon has moved to Spain so I don't have to hold my nose and select him

I still stick to my no 'red shite' players

@MrsMitford3 @MustTryHarderAndHarder I'm cackling away at the references to Mr Tumnus and Michael Finnegan! (And probably showing my age...)

It wasn’t a result I was expecting, I thought and hoped we would win but City didn’t look to have anything about them. I also read this morning that Haaland had 7 touches the time he was on the pitch that seems nuts.
Lets hope it’s the start of a great season (and I can get my head around Bruno playing for us).

My next door neighbours are Arsenal fans by the sounds of the cheers yesterday.

Apologies if it was us 😂

I'm a Manchester United fan so I wasn't complaining 😂

Not the only man with a beard that looks silly.

Just reminding everyone about FPL, only 3 of us in the league last time I checked 🤣

4 now, I joined earlier today with a very provisional squad.

Fabulous, come on folks, get involved!

Please let me know if you want to be added before I ask MN to make a sticky post.

@DuncinToffee Is the sticky for the fantasy league? (Won’t be joining)

No, for the list of names and teams

Top of the league, we're having a laugh...!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It will be my first visit to AFC Wimbledon. It will be my 73rd ground I have been to.

I’m really looking forward to this season for Spurs. Now that the horror and nightmare rollercoaster of last season as well and truly behind us, I have high hopes for our squad.

Especially if we can get Mamoush as well as Savinho 🤞

Oh please, oh please let This not be another anti-climax for Tottenham.

You are already on the list @Piknik

Hi everyone, I'll join your FPL league if that's okay. Chelsea is my team. I'm out numbered by Arsenal supporters in our house.

Hi Spaceman101

Arsenal fans are over represented on this thread as well

You’ll hear from them soon if you haven’t already 😏😂

Lots of happy Arsenal fans today.

Hull v Manchester United KO at 12.30 today.

Getting nervous. (First game of the season is always tricky for me.)

Great substitutes bench for Manchester United.
