English Football 2022-23 (aka the bullshit WC year) - Page 178 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Why in gods name is Barcelona-Man United a "play off", of which the winner gets to play in the KO part of the great Europa League with Union Saint-Gilloise and Feyenoord?

Since when does football have a mid season bye? Is that the only way to make numerical sense of the shitshow tournaments they created?

i like that winning your el group matters a lot. and that the loser cl teams dont get an easy ride

I agree but surely there are other advantages than playing noone. I can only assume there arent enough medium **** teams to fill the EL now that they also have the ConfL.

lol @ feyenoord getting a bye from a four team tie

We can't really hold a candle to the South Americans when it comes to proper shenanigans.

Martinelli called up for Brasil wc squad. Very happy for him and well deserved. I don't think he gets a ton of minutes, but getting called up has to feel great so a pretty good scenario all things considered. Holy **** are they stacked with attackers tho.

We appear to be signing some kind of Nathan Jones as manager.

Had to google him and was disappointed to see it's not the 53 years old wrestler

Was a complete dumpster fire when he last left Luton (for Stoke) so would expect a Watford level speed of replacement if he does get the Saints gig

Not looking good then

Owner seems really cheap. He might be hurting with the Russian war

I hope he doesn't say "you've been gone too long" to Nathan Tella in January.

We appear to have reverted to total dogshit, which is not a good sign given I've already spent £115 to watch us at Cardiff on Saturday and I've not even had a drink yet

I see the excitement of a big Carling or whatever Cup football has sent the thread into delirious silence.

I have made a valiant attempt to keep it going.

I am also thrilled to announce that Eddie just smashed one in.

Also Spammers are losing to Venky's but I am sure you are aware

I am also also delighted to say that Conte trotted out Kane and co. and are outshot 4-0 against Nottingham Forrest. Magic of the Mickey.

Update: brighton equalize and Nott Forrest makes it 5-0 in shots

Since we are losing the competition can now be declared a distraction and utterly unimportant.

I have never ever seen a player so obviously playing within their capacity.

Ziyech exudes talent in just the way he runs, its obvious he is quality, what is also obvious is he does not give even a single ****.

You can only hope he has a moment of whimsical effort making when the opportunity presents itself.

So it is Nathan Jones. I just don't get why we would want a 2 time loser from the championship and payout 2.5 million to Luton to get him and his assistants.

I, for one, look forward to us trotting out the exact same starting XI as we had for Euros
