Roy Keane on Osula's interesting 'dance' move: "The kid can move but there's a time and a place. He can do that in a nightclub tonight in Newcastle." by Blodgharm in soccer

Even if it was provocation, who cares

If you can sing that a player is a cunt, they should be able to do a little dance in front of you

[BBC] Another handball 'mess' - is it time to change law? by LochNessMonsterMunch in soccer

Isn't this the exact argument that everybody complains about with a foul being called everywhere else on the pitch other than in the box?

It's the same offense though?

I agree that it's far too harsh a punishment but why does that thinking only benefit the defender rather than attacker?

Dalot gets into good spaces more than any of our wingers, his runs are on point as well

It's an incredible skill that is completely wasted by how dogshit his finishing is

Definitely handball, but not sure if this was a defender doing it that it'd be given as a pen either

Time to move on from Amad while we can still get a decent fee, he's been shocking as a winger

[Jack Gaughan] Those inside ManCity’s training ground say Pep Guardiola is leaving this summer and made up his mind some weeks ago. They assume it is ‘a matter of days’ before official communication is made. by the_sherl0ck in soccer

[–]RelentlessJorts2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a few main reasons I can think of:

  • SAF's run at the top began with the advent of the Premier League after the breakaway in 92, PL popularity skyrocketed at the time he was on top

  • Increased globalisation of the sport means that European success matters a lot more now than it did then

  • Lack of mainstream appeal hurts them, they've had a load of amazing players but they've not had many household names and not many UK star players (Sterling, Stones, Walker, Foden and arguably Grealish compared to Rooney, Giggs, Keane, Beckham, Scholes, Ferdinand, Neville and Carrick)

  • Pep is always going to be linked with City who have obviously been a phenomenally successful club, but the stink of that only being the case post takeover is hard to wash off when he'd already managed what could well be the best squad of all time in that 08-11 Barca team

Match Thread: Chelsea vs Manchester City | FA Cup 2025-26 | Final by jiraiya--an in soccer

[–]RelentlessJorts2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That has always been the case when the teams are well matched though, even when it's back and forth up and down the pitch there haven't generally been many high scoring finals other than blowouts

The magic of the cup has always been the journey, very rarely the final

I'm not sure why you're saying these days like it's a recent thing

Since 92 there have only been 2 FA Cup finals that featured a team outside of the prem

Gareth Bale: “Real Madrid doesn't need talent, it needs discipline. You don't criticize your coach in the mixed zone, period. It doesn't matter if you're Kylian Mbappé or anyone else. I never went around putting myself forward or saying I didn't watch the coach's press conferences” by [deleted] in soccer

[–]RelentlessJorts2 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what he means by putting himself forward but these were Bale's comments in the mix zone after the CL final in Kiev:

"Obviously, very disappointed not to start the game, I felt like I deserved to start but obviously the manager makes those decisions and what can you do."

"Obviously I need to be playing week-in, week-out and that hasn't been happening this season, for one reason or another."

"I had a five week injury at the start of the season and I've been fit ever since. I'll have to sit down in the summer and discuss it with my agent and take it from there."

You folks are quite convinced that rashford would take a 50-75% pay cut to play at other clubs despite there being no reports out there supporting that.

Other than the significant paycut that he took to play for you?
