General Football Nonsense

We should have won against Liverpool too, alhtough equally as things turned out it was only Ram that got us a point there

Yeah I’m more looking at the fixtures themselves rather than what happened in the match. On the basis of the game we absolutely deserved to get thumped by Brighton, the better team throughout….but going into it I think we could and should have won but we fell into their trap…played too high a line and didn’t try to double up on Mitoma who caused most of the difficulties.
Playing just the one way is what Wenger did, and whilst you obviously want a general system of playing that has to come with adaptation to who you’re playing.
There’s many things I like about the system, the last two games aside the most positive thing about this season has been the goal return…and generally quite consistently been good and I think the system facilitates that.
And you’re right in that whoever you’re playing to lose a two goal lead is disappointing but to get a draw from Anfield after six heavy defeats there in the league was whilst not great in the context of the season was a good suture to the profuse bleeding that has marked our recent experiences there

[Letters]

There were a few games this season where I thought "if we win this then i think we're going to do it", or "If City drop points here then I think we're going to do it". And every single time the result went the other way. Anfield was one of those, City at home was another. Bah.

Can anyone explain to me why Vinicius Jnr seems to be targeted for racial abuse

He’s far from the only black player in Spain yet he seems to be being prolifically targeted

He’s a bit of a wind up merchant.

The issue though is that for some reason in Spain racial abuse is seen as fair game. Bit of banter if you like. You troll us for scoring a goal and we mock the colour of your skin? Weird.

Always been the way not just in Spain but in South America too

Garry O’Neil given the push

That makes sense, the guy with by far the weakest squad in the premier league keeps them up and is “suitably” rewarded

So Wolves and Bournemouth are my certs to go down


Who joins them? Between Sheffield United, Luton, Everton and Forest

agree, a bit of a kick in the teeth for O'Neill

the replacement is Andoni Iraola, who accoridng to this "spent three years at Rayo Vallecano, guiding them to 11th in the Spanish top flight last season." - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65954183

heady heights indeed

Oh I thought they got relegated, clearly mistaken them for Vallodolid (who is owned by Brazillian Ronaldo)

But first, can somebody tell me who he is? Never heard of him.

Not weird at all. Football fans have always targeted the obvious. Black, fat, ginger, with tits. Anyone who takes it seriously is queer. Of course if they all took to the pitch and strung him up, simply for the colour of his skin, that would be racist (but who cares?) but also murder - actually important.

We all have to be a bit less gay I think. The the world would get back to normality.

I'm glad the Spanish still have a few balls between them. The English certainly don't.

BTW, half of the shit you see on TV these days is all about how awful white people are. Imagine if white people got wound up over that? Luckily there's virtully no such thing as racism in the west. It's mainly in Africa and Asia you'll find all that.
