Southampton were on a counter before the ref blew the whistle.

Yeah although I think it was fair to do that. I would have been livid though.

It completely distorts the Championship. You almost have to be willing to bankrupt your club to try and get out of that league.

Crazy thing is Gilmour has been their best player today according to people watching the game

Checking around Norwich fans and they don't like him. Not his fault the club replaced experienced players with inexperienced ones (Gilmour and Brandon Williams) They got a 21 year old American up front named Josh Sargent for christ sakes

But then again I don't watch Norwich that much, he played okay against Man Utd but we make every team look good.

Terrible news. He was having his best season ever.

Stuck with that bozo Alonso now for the rest of the season.

Also the club has tanked his value. Another mark against the Fat Spanish Waiter. This year can't be over sooner enough.

I don't want Barkley back though.

 

[Ukbrotha]

I like Bailly but I'll never understand why we didn't just sell him last summer instead of giving him a new deal and then signing Varane.

if this quote is true, I'm not surprise in the least bit. Madrid and Barca will always but the main draw for generation player and balloon d'or winner.
I think the PL will suit him better though. more fast pace and games go from one end to the other, like bundesliga, but with better defenders. too many teams sit back in la liga and park the bus against Real and Barca. not sure it suits his game. especially not at Barca.

true, but PL is still closer to bundasliga's teams playstyle than la liga. just with better players. Diego Simeone is responsible for by every laliga team parking the bus and has kind of ruined spanish football. very so often you see the games open. even when two shyt teams are playing.

What the hell are you talking about?

The Bundesliga has nothing like Jose employing the low block at Spurs effectively ending Alli's career for two seasons, let's not talk about how 2/3 the PL table drops back against top sides. Or how a BACK FIVE was in fashion for three years because of Conte's Chelsea. Like...what? Games are RARELY end to end in the PL like they are in Bundesliga. City and Leicester just had one of the first true high scoring games of the season.

Combine that with the La Liga over the past decade (which was the better league until Liverpool became competitive), it was NOTHING for Barca or Madrid to put up 3-4 on a team in a stroll. All of the top scoring trios of the current era all include Messi, CR7, Benzema, or Neymar. And where were most of those goals? La Liga. both before Simeone and after him, teams had no choice but to park the bus.
What the fukk else are you supposed to do with a team that has MSN or BBC? The teams that didn't drop and defend got torn to shreds. Simeone had the personnel to actually make it work...the rest of La Liga...not so much.

Was expecting another Salah goal.

Salah actually had time to wait for that ball to come down
