I'm not bitter ... but I hate you all (other teams thread)

They didn't beat Bournemouth. You really spew a lot of waffle.

 

What was lucky about it? Pure waffle.

 

Hojlund reborn at Napoli

 

Conte is one of the best. And our support ran him out of town, but rated Ange.

 

I've just looked back at results. The last I saw was that Leeds were winning 2-1 after 90 minutes. I left at that point thinking Leeds had won the match but I see that Bournemouth equalised very late on. At the time I didn't see that so I withdraw my post on that particular match.

 

He constructively dismissed himself

 

Yeah, I hated his tactics when we beat Arsenal 3-0, Everton 5-0, Newcastle 5-1, Aston Villa 4-0, Norwich 5-0, and Manchester City 3-2.

I also hated the fact that he recorded 56 points from his first 28 games in charge with a +30 goal differential, after taking over from Nuno.

He refused to sign an extension because Levy would not bring in the players we needed to challenge for major honours. This is a guy who has won 5 Scudetti. 1 PL, and 1 FA Cup. And we have supporters who wanted to keep Ange.

 

Have you deleted Golara's?

 

Two deflected goals means lucky.

 

What are you lot talking about? I'm confused.

 

Really? On the first goal, Tel made a good run, Kudus made a good pass, Tel shifted the ball to get his shot in, and put his shot on target. If none of these things happen, the goal doesn't come, regardless of the deflection.

On the second goal, Porro plays a good ball to Kudus, Kudus makes a good run, beats the defender, wrong-foots the keeper, and hits the target. Again, if none of these things happen, we don't score, regardless of the deflection.

I don't know what it is with you. When we play well and win, there's always something: we got lucky with an own goal, we had a deflected goal, we should have won by more goals...

 

Sometimes a deflection or an own goal is pure dumb luck. Our goals Saturday were the result of hard shots, on target. That's not luck - that's a good shot that somebody was able to touch, but not stop. Similar with own goals. A misplayed backpass to the keeper is luck, but our own goals tend to be the result of dangerous crosses into the 6 yard box - perhaps an element of good fortune, but not an unforced error. Fortune favors the bold, as they say.

 

18-year-old Estevao scores the winner for Chelsea vs. Liverpool.

Already 7 caps for Brazil.

34 million euros. This is the kind of quality young player the top clubs sign, because they don't have numpties running their recruitment.

 

You really don't do your homework and need to provide context to some of your comments.

The comparison of Slot to Fagan is far-fetched. Fagan had been a coach at the club since 1958, when he started with the reserves. Yes, the year following the treble, he didn't win any silverware, but they finished runners-up to Everton in the league, lost the final of the European Cup, and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Not exactly a collapse.

And he didn't resign, he retired, at the age of 64, after 27 years at the club.

We are in October of Slot's second season. A bit early to be writing him off.

 

I saw their goalkeeper had both shots covered but ok, let's move on and hope our form improves in front of the goal. We cannot continue to rely on own goals and deflections. I think own goals is our leading scorer aren't they? Let's see what we do against Villa and Liverpool v Man Utd.

 

You're watching a different game mate - their keeper did not have both shots covered.

Diverted shots and own goals are part of the game.

Weren't you the one who complained when we "only" beat Southampton 5-0 last season?

 

Why on Earth do you want to watch that match?

 

304's?

I joke.
Random footie games is a great way to spend your time. Do you also buy merch?

 

Beautiful part of the world - and the beer ain't bad either.

 

Any place that's named after a food or drink has to be cool.

Which gets me to name football clubs from places that are named after food or drink. Off the top of my head:

Girondins de Bordeaux
Dijon FCO
Hamburger SV
Kalamata FC
Parma
Bologna
Genoa
