Is there a football thread?

QPR fan here, and very happy with our start so far!

Check out Chair's goal from the weekend. Breadman got the formation wrong, and was brave enough to change things round after half an hour, but really felt for Dozzell being subbed on his debut....

A few pictures from Leicester's first game of the season.

I find it's the only way to watch football now! I drank champagne from pretty much 13:00-19:00!

Nice one. See if you can get to some aways, I managed to tick most of the 'biggies' off over the five years. The worst without doubt is the Etihad, guaranteed a spanking on the pitch, typical souless arena in a crap area.

Indeed good shout. Would love to get to Anfield, old Trafford etc but with young family more realistically I am thinking Stamford bridge, Spurs/Arsenal.
Despite working in W6 for almost 20 years I've never been to Craven cottage even when in the championship - like ships in the night we missed each other. Will get there someday

Congrats to Antonio for finally breaking Di Canio's record.

Fortunately its the mickey mouse cup (Norwich Barstewards

)

Elland Road sold out against Crewe in same mickey mouse cup - now that's impressive, 36,000.

His a cracking player Antonio. Gives it his all in games when fit.

Was never in doubt. City never really tried for him.

As a Spurs fan I'm obviously pleased as he's one of the best strikers in the world and him being there only makes us better. It's good for the team, the club. But I won't be forgetting how he's behaved since April/May and how he'd still leave for City tomorrow if he could.

But football fans are nothing if not fickle and I've no doubt they'll be singing "he's one of our own" in full voice at home v Watford on Sunday!

For me though, tainted.

MrManor · 08-25-2021, 10:09 AM

Watching Kane and paying attention to him in the Euros, he’s a ridiculously frustrating player to watch, he is a goal hanger / poacher and not a great deal more, he’s certainly not worth those joke valuations

As much as he's not my favourite person right now, that is an absolute nonsense!

He's pretty much the opposite of a goal hanger / poacher! Finishing the season top of the assists column as well as goals last season tells that story.

He drops deep, plays others in, scores, assists, chases back and defends, clears balls out of his own box. He's the complete number 9.

Season after season in the toughest league in the world he's proven that. His numbers speak for themselves.

In the Euros he was largely wasted due to how the team was set up around him. It sounds like you haven't watched him week in week out in the league.

Nah, he’s overrated completely hence City not greasing Spuds palms.

He’s excellent at falling over…… a lot
