Injuries arent an excuse bro. Get over it etc...

Not sure any is saying its not an excuse, more we saw it coming.

Now there’s a man who knows about getting the sack. First from his job for sexism (or as he put it “I've reached the decision it's time to move on”) and then from his marriage of 34 years for sleeping with his daughters 28 year old friend.

But it’s Pep who needs to be sacked after winning 6 trophies with City and about 30 during a spotless career, which given his age could last another 15 years. Haha, what a w***er.

Please, let’s not post Richard Keys thoughts. You dumb down the entire forum.

 

[RossFC]

Ha ha

The s*n and Richard Keys. Just ignore it.

 

[SM]

Yeah not worth getting worked up by.

What fun would that be?

Sad news with the death of Glenn Roeder. Only 65.

Brain tumour apparently.

I remember him back at West Ham in the early 00s.

Yep took us to 7th in 2002, and then we got relegated with 42 points the next.

Was meant to be a really nice guy in the industry, hopefully the club do something nice to remember him over the next few days etc.

Folding of champions a massive blow for troubled Chinese Super League

Just three months ago, Jiangsu Suning were celebrating a first ever championship, defeating Guangzhou Evergrande to win the 2020 Chinese Super League. At the same time, Tianjin Teda were celebrating an escape from relegation. The party has well and truly stopped.

Jiangsu Suning gone (the club that tried to sign Bale). Tianjin Teda on the brink.

Just goes to show how unsustainable the CSL was with outrageous salaries . Also seems as the survival of clubs depends on them having a good relationship with the communist government.

 

[Zidane98]

Jiangsu owners also trying to get rid of Inter Milan.

I wonder if crowds will be down at the WC in Qatar. Not the most desirable place to travel. Will be interesting.

I would go if I have enough money.. Lack of boozed up hooligans looking to pick fights on the streets is greatly appealling.

Trouble is, I don't think Australia will qualify, so no point really.

Why don't you go watch Leeds instead?

It's expanding to 48 teams so I think we'll prob be alright.

I don't think Leeds will qualify for the World Cup.

Not for Qatar, idiot.

A bit too close to the pitch.

What did you think the use of the word "Instead" meant?

Another Leeds Legend is doing very poorly health wise



Apparently late stage brain cancer, and some heartless/attention seeking bastards on Twitter are saying he has passed away.

Sadly, I do not believe this is one battle the great Lorimer can win, but why can't people with even the smallest amount of human decency, show some respect for his suffering family and loved ones and refrain from trying to look like Big Shots on reporting on his death.

Really, really pisses me off.


We have lost a lot of legends at LUFC in the last 12-18 months.

He is the all time leading goalscorer at our great and famous club.

Seen highlights and cut back replays of his game as a player, but was wondering if anyone here was old enough to watch him play ?

From what I have seen and read, he played football in the Don Revie way, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

weren’t they talking about trying to raise to 48 for this World Cup at some point?

 

[Loonerty]

weren’t they talking about trying to raise to 48 for this World Cup at some point?

Yeah it is, but from 2026.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Yeah it is, but from 2026.

yeah knew that, but at one point there was discussions around bringing that forward to 2022, and I completely forget that they didn’t bother pushing it forward

FIFA shelves plan to expand 2022 World Cup to 48 teams

World football governing body scraps plans to expand tournament in Qatar from 32 teams, citing 'logistical' problems.
