Md9 Posted 15 August 2021 Share Posted 15 August 2021 Just seen the results from today expected the West Ham one as Newcastle are rubbish and thought Spurs could get something with Man City they seem to be ab to get something from them at home hadn’t it been 3 games and 51 shots against and Man City still hadn’t scored last them.Won’t take long for msn city to kick in though. Still expect Spurs to struggle especially if son is out at any time. Reckon Newcastle will be lucky again this season as there wil be 3 teams worse than them so stay up again. Norwich Southampton and palace to go this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we've all seen better performances, the lads gave their all and just about got us over the line. 1st home game for 18 months and 2 trophies that they've brought back to the KP. I find it embarrassing and I bet the players, if they're honest, would say its a bit shit as well, after their efforts. It's an argument that's been done to death on here, so I'll leave it 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hear one thing I heard the other but I beg to differ with your "Yet you only hear it used in that context" comment, how often are we told "possession based football is the way the game should be played" or "If you're bored of watching Man City you're bored of football" even as much as "If you don't like Man City, you don't like football" (As I quote Jamie Redknapp). There's some middle ground to be found in both our arguments What you say is true. I agree there is a lot of snobbery about how the game 'should be played' and teams like Burnley and Atletico Madrid almost seen as villains. It's all about getting the results at the end of the day (without resorting to cheating, dark arts and thuggery) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach0000 Posted 15 August 2021 Share Posted 15 August 2021 I don’t know whether I’m in the minority here but I find these kind of articles odd. This is surely just standard football fan behaviour and although I hate the phrase just ‘banter’. Clearly the racial nature of the abuse at the time was wrong but the two are surely unrelated. It’s just rival fans trying to get under the skin of the opposition. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-9895731/Manchester-City-fans-chant-England-stars-Marcus-Rashford-Jadon-Sancho-let-country-down.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about getting the results at the end of the day (without resorting to cheating, dark arts and thuggery) I agree, and if you're the underdog it's a line to stick to. But you can see the frustration in teams like ours where we're expected to be the pro-active attacking side. Spend 10s of minutes attempting to break down teams who seem happy to bank up against us seemingly playing for a point. Who might score a goal in seconds as we over-commit to get that win. It feels like we're the only ones trying to play football. Then it's a question what level (league position, financial) can a team be at before it just looks like anti-football? Teams like Burnley or Palace want to play like that and if it gets them results I say go for it (even if against us I might hate it at the time). Not sure I'd feel the same if ManU played like that. And I don't think it's a new thing, boring boring Arsenal was shouted purely to deride a strategy that worked for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not heard Everton fans that loud for a long time. We're gonna win the league, we're back where we belong etc etc. Strange times. Don't think anyone was underestimating Everton then, and I don't think anyone is underestimating West ham now. When their starting 11 is fully fit and firing it really is a hell of a team with a settled spine now. Trouble is as soon as they get a few injuries their squad depth is pony. They aren't getting the credit they "deserve" simply because people don't expect them to maintain it, not that they haven't been doing fairly well.

I was listening to talk sport thr other night, a hammers fan called in a wasn't looking forward to the season at all. They've got Europe to cope with this season and they haven't made 1 signing that improves their starting 11, they are in fact weaker because they've lost Lingard. They don't have a "recognised" No9 although Antonio does alright for them, not bad for a former right back, but he'll almost certainly face a spell on the treatment table. It'll be interesting to see how seriously they take the Europa league because for them to maintain their league form from last season, with the squad that they have, they can do without playing Thursday/Sunday every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
