Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[KaiserEFC]

Few weeks ago, I mentioned West Ham along with us Leicester and Wolves, in terms of challenging top 6 and I was laughed at. 4 games in and they look fantastic, aside from that game against City.

You seriously think we’re going to “challenge” for anything? lol

Me too, I’m pretty fed up with the sport in general anyway. I’d say they might change it after learning from mistakes this season but then I remember it’s the FA and they won’t see any of these as mistakes.

100% mate.

I'm sticking to naked lady mud wrestling

No cheating going on in that fair and genuine sport of respect

They add some form of chocolate fountain into the mix and I am there.

Why is the ref blowing the whistle?

In fairness, there were always going to be mistakes with VAR. I didn’t want it, but once it’s in there’s little you can do but get on board with it. There’s certainly fewer mistakes with VAR than there was without it.

My issue is with the length of time it takes for these decisions to be made. That and the signalling in the stadium to show that a check is being done. You end up with scenarios like the City-Spurs game where fans are celebrating for 2 or 3 minutes before they even realise it’s being disputed..... and then the agony of it being taken away.

That process needs streamlining.

That's during the yearly birdomania event at Edgley Park.

Why is the ref blowing the whistle?

Because its Kevin Friend and he's an absolute knobhead mate.

Honestly, that's why.

Kevin Friend didn’t blow his whistle at all. God knows where it came from.

Sorry for Villa, but that's the one decent thing to come out of this Friend, should be reffing in the lower league's for a while. Crap ref even by today's standards.

Good side West Ham. Had so many injuries last season. If they keep Lanzini fit, they’ll be a great shout for top 7.

Haller looks a great signing thus far if he can carry on his Eintracht form. I don’t think Lanzini, Felipe Anderson, Diop or even Yarmolenko would look out of place in a top six side. Very good players but match fitness and injuries were a huge issue for them last year. They essentially lost 5 or 6 of their 1st choice XI for half the season.

Rice a good young player too. Pellegrini a very experienced manager who’s been successful everywhere he’s been. Seem to have many of the ingredients, particularly in attack but need it all to click.

Gotta remember whenever West Ham assemble a team with good homegrown talent, is when England will win the WC again.

Didn't know that handball for the Newcastle game.

Absolutely shocking this VAR stuff

My heart breaks for them.


Pathetic. Kin despise them.

Just seen motd. Poor kurt at fault for both goals.

 

[Rook]

Because the keeper would've just picked the ball up if he hadn't gone flying in and had just stayed goal side marshalling the striker like a normal defender does.

I kinda think the keeper wasn't going to get to that
