Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

Leicester might be the only team in the league that’s underachieving as much as Everton. So much talent. Such poor results. That’s on B-Rod

 

[carolinablue232]

Good thing Kavanaugh wasn’t on VAR duty there as well

 

[Nymzee]

Seriously where was all this for Iraq and Afghan?

They didn't have that colour kit I'd imagine.

Seriously where was all this for Iraq and Afghan?

What did you do when they were happening?

 

[Khalekan]

I didn’t know Oumar had signed for Burton Albion.

What a flipping save by pope. Damnit

Surely its pretty obvious why this stuff didn't exist for Iraq and Afghanistan ?

- The wars in Iraq and Afghan were sold in the media as us being the good guys to go and take out the baddies (Sadam and Bin Laden).
- The national press isn't going to go against its own troops in a time of war, same goes for all business's, sport teams etc. Would you really expect us to be wearing the Iraq flag whilst Sadam was in power and British troops were trying to capture him ?
- Lots of people genuinely believed we were going to Iraq to get rid of WMDs and make the world safer

Its not really a comparable situation from a western perspective.

Also it was the two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that shaped the current day public perception of going to war, anti-war stances became a lot more mainstream and accepted in the years following Iraq once the realities of the war played out infront of the world.

From a western perspective..... exactly.

I was still hating wools.

Got Burnley 1.0 over this

 

[Ring master]

Got Burnley 1.0 over this

Just been thinking that with Leicester been well on Top, few decent pope saves with that bit of luck

 

[duncs pigeon]

What a great goal by Grealish. Great ball by Foden, great first touch and finish.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Leicester feeling the effects of the Everton relegation curse tonight. Pope inspired.

 

[Alan Whittle]

I was still hating wools.

Needn’t have asked.

 

[longers]

Is there a reason for the FA Cup ties being played midweek ? cant remember this happening before (other than replays) and it doesn’t help the perception that the FA Cup isn’t as a big deal as it used to be.

 

[NathDogg]

Burnley getting the luck - who'd have thunk it.

Waiting for this gobshite ref to do something daft for them as well...
