Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[Toast]

Bit weird in here tonight.

Honestly didn’t even know there were matches tonight until I saw this thread pinging earlier.
Thought Covid had jibbed it all off ?

Not seen a ball kicked myself, but kudos to the lids getting fuming about it.

A lot of that is garbage, Spurs could have beaten them on Sunday with better finishing. They were spawny to win at Wolves in 94th min when Wolves should have seen the corner flag instead of gifting the ball. The are not that great as 6 home defeats on the bounce earlier this year showed, they are just supremely confident in every game.

Spurs should have scored 5 the XG in the game was about 3 to under 1. Salah handball as well.

Leicester should have scored 5 in the first half. Vardy missed a sitter at 3-1 and hit the post.

They got lucky.

But then, when top 4 was on the line, for that same team who had lost all those games, to suddenly reel off the number of wins they did in a row?

I’ve never seen a swing of form comparable to it from any decent sports team. Mane went from one of the best forwards in the world, to not being able to hit a barn door, to back to being one of the best. They were ready to retire Firmino, that’s how poor he was, and now he’s back inventing the false 9 position again this season.

I know people don’t agree but for me it’s clear as day that they started cycling on midway through the 17/18 season. They stopped after two seasons (which coincided with the lockdown break), and then had their cycling off period when they lost all those games and everyone looked rubbish, and then they started again which has resulted in them going straight back into top form.

City started theirs in 17/18 which is why a team that was 4th then went and put two season of 100 and 99 points together, then cycled off and got beaten by the likes of Norwich at home as Liverpool ran away with the title in double figures, before they then started cycling on again to get back to god like form last season and this season.

Liverpool will win the league again next season, absolutely no doubt about it unless. Chelsea find themselves a decent stash of PEDs.

Liverpool aren't getting near City for a while.

Always the victims.
Only this time victims of their own success.

do Leeds have a COVID outbreak then? Or have the PL just rolled over for Big Red again?

 

[tsubaki]

Seems a farce this - Watfords game on the 26th can’t go ahead but the one on the 28th can

Request to call it off came from Leeds from what I've read

Probably not a bad thing, gives Leeds a chance to sort themselves out, probably get scheduled for an already packed January, minus salah and mane. Robertson now misses Chelsea.

Riechsfurer Shippmann will be dancing a luvly goose-step tonight after their games off, considering all the cryarsing he's done. Trying to mess with the league cup format now as well just to suit his team, don't be surprised to see a one legged semi final now - a disgrace.

If you don't like how things are done in the UK and our football then do one.

14 players and a GK including from U21's.

Have Leeds, Wolves/Watford really not got 14 players between first team, U23's and U21's??

And still played against Chelsea.

They just make the rules up as rhey go along

 

[NathDogg]

Were still playing boxing day with 5 positive covid cases?!?

Need to play in red to get our game off it seems - shambles.

Zero integrity left in this league season.

14 fit players including 1 goalkeeper is all that is required to play.

Is that counting rondon and iwobi?

Seriously, It's a farce, end of.
