Other Games 23/24

[St. Neil]

England U17 won 10-0 in the world cup v New Caledonia yesterday. Meghoma, Amo-Ameyaw and Dibling all played with the latter two both scoring.

[FarehamSaintJames]

JWP, man of the match and two assists for West Ham today.

Still Not good enough for England though.

First half of Chelsea v Man City has been really good.

Ederson pushing one back into the middle which is weird because only shit keepers like Bazunu apparently do that.

Pochettino taking time to turn Chelsea around which is weird because apparently good managers, rather than shit ones like Russell Martin, come in and instantly transform teams.

Got a much worse save percentage than Luke McGee managed for Tranmere Rovers yesterday.

Broja wins Chelsea a stoppage time penalty. Cracking game, this.

Brilliant game. That Dias dive in was like Sunday morning on shit pitches. Love it

[Turkish]

Great game draw is fair

Dont understand why city sold Cole Palmer, quality young player. 

[Lighthouse]

I think Carra may have just cum in his pants.

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

Is there some competition going on for the longest knee skid in goal celebrations? The ones that wag their finger or sway as they're skidding deserve a bonus point!

Wonder if our Charlie has been practising.

I was thinking that during the game. Did he maybe want to leave to get more games? Whatever the reason it's a great signing for Chelsea.

Can be the only reason, always looked a real talent. Was very good today

Sky showed a stat pre game, he’s already played more minutes for Chelsea than he did in total for Man City. City have also got an embarrassment of riches in his position so you can kind of understand why he left. He’s also been given pens so he’s clearly right at the front of Chelsea’s plans and will likely start whenever he’s fit. Unlike at City where the likes of Grealish and Foden are often on the bench.

Good on him them, going someone to be the main man rather than a squad player where trophies are pretty much guaranteed every year

That Dimarco goal!

Pompey let in 93rd minute goal to draw. 

Girona won again with Gazzaniga in goal to stay top of La Liga.

Romeu must be kicking himself for taking a step down this season.

Proof if it were needed that signing a keeper that is 30 or over is not a bad investment. 

We signed Gazzaniga 10 years too early.

[Saint Keef]

Romeo Lavia still yet to kick a ball for Chelsea. Apparently he has had a a fairly long-term ankle problem. Apparently he is nearing fitness again. I know he is no longer a concern of ours, but I do hope his career won't be blighted by injuries. He's one of the few who have moved on who I would actually like to see do well. It won't happen of course, but a loan move back to us in January, to "find his feet" again would be brilliant. Just sayin'.

[The Cat]

Pompey just lost to Folland in the Hampshire Cup. 

No idea what sort of team they put out but Folland are Wessex Prem.

Westwood won't be happy.

Everton minus 10 points 🤣

About time

[S-Clarke]

We really did get relegated at the wrong time, that'll be 4 teams at the bottom now on single figures in December!

We'd have strolled this season, Wolves aren't any great shakes but they seem fairly comfortable already.

Bet they still avoid relegation though due to how poor the promoted clubs are are this year...

What is the point of Rashford on England's left? All he has done so far is either give simple passes back to our defenders or lose the ball when he tries to take someone on.

You're watching Gareth Southgate send out Jordan Henderson, to take on Malta. If you're looking for meaning in life, you wont find it here.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Apart from a nice move involving Foden, England have looked pedestrian and not showing a gap in quality.

Absolute gash. Why are they obsessed with playing “Trent” in midfield?

In a midfield three including Gallagher and Hendo, Tront still comes in third best. And those other two have been fucking shit.

How does Rashford stay on? Crazy.

I missed the previous Malta game when the press afterwards had a jizzfest over his performance in midfield. Aside from that, no. The geezer simply isn’t a midfielder.

It’s almost like they want to shoe horn him into the squad somehow. He’s behind Walker, James and Tripper for right back so doesn’t get in the squad there he isn’t a midfielder but there seems to be this narrative that’s he’s an amazing footballer

I think it’s much like the complete divots on here over the past few years who try and justify the creation of positions like front sweeper and inverted full back, when really you should just look at the actual position and decide if the player is good enough for it. Tront is an excellent full back when he doesn’t have to defend very much; when he has to defend he gets found out a lot. He’s still a good player there, but he has limitations at the very best level. How, on earth, has he been highlighted to play in midfield?  He simply is not good enough to play there.

England came alive at last. 

[Lighthouse]

This game has improved massively in the last couple of minutes. Not because of the goal, because we've lost Dublin's commentary.

Without Jude Bellingham we looked very ordinary tonight.

Nope. And JWP, an actual midfielder who's in great form, is at home. Ridiculous.

If you are a special player at the most special of clubs, there will always be a space for you.

I skipped the second half.

A collection of players he feels he has to play, those he's overly fond of, giving them game time, and a random selection of those he's trying out. No suprise there was no cohesion for nearly all of the half I saw.

[Saint Keef]

Dreadful game and what's worse, how has Dion Dublin got the "pundit" gig. He's mastered the art of stating the bleeding obvious. And then contradicts himself. "Must start on the front foot and get at them" and then within seconds "They have to be patient". Arrrrrggghhhh!

[SaintBobby]

Worst game of football I’ve seen in a long while. Still, very little at stake, I guess.

[HarvSFC]

Went to Wembley tonight, had hoped to see Bellingham live before he pulled out. Fairly boring game and poor atmosphere. Bring back the Saints.

[AlexLaw76]

Southgate’s last hurrah, thankfully.

moaning about player availability…… he picked the fecking squad

he will be gone in months few. Thank Christ.

Baz and Manning playing for Ireland tonight. Only following on the Beeb website but sounds like Baz is having a decent game so far.

France 14 Gibraltar 0

Lol!

There ought to be preliminary group of shit for all the Mickey Mouse teams, with only the winner going into a proper group.
