Football Thread 16/17- Cheick Tiote R.I.P.

[Denster]

Doing business early again. Mourinho.

[Rocsteady]

An absolute Rolls-Royce of a player.

What does that even mean.


Mental game earlier, got so tantalisingly close but to be fair we didn't really deserve all three points. Fair play to Griffiths, stepped up when it mattered. strawberry floating ridiculous trying to play it out from the back with two minutes remaining.

This story about how the potential Morata deal may become complicated because of Manchester United's stance on DdG... well, duh. Which then makes you wonder if United aren't just trolling Real Madrid. I mean, how likely is it, that, they actually think the signing will happen when they know how difficult they've made it for Madrid to get their hands on DdG. Remember the fax machine? So yeah, seems like a exercise in futility to me.

Yay England U20s

[Moggy]

We're going to win the World Cup!

[Return_of_the_STAR]

It's coming home!!!

[Moggy]

Calvert-Lewin is only the third Englishman to score in a World Cup final.

Remember that one for a future pub quiz!

[Return_of_the_STAR]

Some of the diving now by the Venezuelan players

[Return_of_the_STAR]

That brilliant shot by Onomah. If that had gone in then that's the kind of ridiculous moment where the media would go made and say he's the next ronaldo etc.

[Oblomov Boblomov]

What a save

[Clarkman]

Amazing save.

[Oblomov Boblomov]

Okay from watching the replay it wasn't actually that good .

[Return_of_the_STAR]

I'm really enjoying this game. Several spurs players involved (Onomah & Walker-Peters) and two cobblers connections (Calvert-Lewin & Woodman). It's also nice to watch an england team who appear to want to win.

[Oblomov Boblomov]

World Cup champions .

[Clarkman]

Hell yeah. An excuse to drink!

[Return_of_the_STAR]

I can't believe it, i never thought i would see this day. World Cup Champions. Do we get a day off work tomorrow?

[PatSharpsMullet]

Now they have to knuckle down and learn how to be failures so that they can make the full team.
