The Football Thread 2021/22: England thrown to Hungary lions

[Corazon de Leon]

They had a player sent off after half an hour away from home and lost in the last minute, not exactly the worst possible outcome was it?

I know you are a Blackburn fan and so maybe don't understand what winning is, but losing is the worst possible outcome in a football match.

And as a Bristol City supporter, you know full well that there's a difference between getting beat 2-1 and getting beat 6-1. Losing's gooseberry fool, but it's hardly a complete collapse or an example of awful coaching that it happened, just a stupid challenge and the difficulty of having to defend for sixty minutes without a first choice full-back on the park.

Clearly you've never been in Blackburn when they've only lost 2-1, the place is bouncing

[Corazon de Leon]

This is usually when I fall back on the twelve trophies thing, but I already did that today. Losing 2-1 in Blackburn isn't so bad is it, Tom?

That was a cheap shot, but one I felt I had to go for

I'm beyond caring.

With Benda in goals, only conceding twice is basically a victory for us

[Captain Kinopio]

We are there for the taking. Young boys are going to thrash that faker Ollie and his squad of pushovers.

Thrashed by Young Boys.
That's Moggy's favourite weekend pursuit.

Nothing like making a CL tie harder for yourself.

Sad news England fans, we're going to have wait a while longer before we get proper English football back on the menu

Absolute stonewall penalty on Daniel James not given tonight. They've swung too far the other way with VAR.

It's mental isn't it. It's like they are now purposely ignoring things

Naby lad.

Also - Salah is 2 goals off being the highest scoring African in the PL. In nearly 50 games less than Drogba, Genuinely one of the best players to have played in the league.

[Tomous]

Drogba's goalscoring record for Chelsea in the PL is surprisingly inconsistent. He had 1 huge season, a couple decent and then quite a few average to poor in terms of goalscoring, from memory.

[sawyerpip]

Yeah, I don't remember Drogba being a consistent 20+ goal a season striker. He was always the focal point for Chelsea and was absolutely a big game player, but not someone who you'd bank on scoring most weekends.

What's the Swansea player doing kicking a free kick away?

[Preezy]

Barely touched him ref

[Curls]

Always good to see city slip. Realistically I feel the other teams need to get as far ahead as soon as possible, their squad strength comes into play in January that no team bar maybe Chelsea can match. Liverpool for sure will drop points in the late winter /spring but city just seem to improve through the season every season.

[Drumstick]

Just catching up with MOTD and I noticed that all three Villa goals go straight through Begovic.
