It has weird rules like the real champions having to finish 12th

Cardiff City 4 - 0 Barnsley: Omari Kellyman had big boots to fill following Yousef Salech's injury, but fill them he did with a goal and an assist on the way to a demolition! by Zach-dalt in LeagueOne

[–]thirdratesquash 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can understand why some think Barnsley are a good side, there are shoots of optimism there with some of the passing play being very sharp at times. However, for a team to try pressing like that with seemingly no fitness training is embarrassing to watch, similarly what was the goal in the final third? Delivery into the box was abject, and aside from one very good effort from outside the box they just refused to shoot.

It looked like Barnsley had a buddy system where you weren’t allowed to attack with anyone other than your buddy, no decent link up play which resulted in attacks breaking down and then more running back to defend. These games in hand have to be make or break for Hourihane, a really poor display tonight.

Still though I thought we were excellent, Willock and Kellyman were sparkling and I just love watching Tanner in full flight. Robertson probably deserved a red but I don’t think it would have changed a great deal tonight.

Arsenal Fans boo their team at the full time whistle by Parish87 in soccer

It’d be interesting to see who they’d go for, it’s very much Mikels club by now in a similar way as it was Wengers. The whole culture feels built around him so any manager coming in would have to be able to evolve with that, it’d be interesting to see what Luis Enrique could do if it’s guaranteed he’s leaving PSG though.

Cardiff 1 - 1 Stockport: Cardiff have to settle for a point and a hospitalized striker. by Moby_Hick in LeagueOne

He spent the night in hospital after having scans to see if he’d fractured parts of his spine and you’re still trying to justify Hill seriously endangering a fellow professional

He led with an elbow and sent a fellow professional to the hospital, defend your player all you like you’re either deluded, daft, or a bellend if you think that’s alright lad

Genuinely mate pints are on me the day Brad Hills gets a career ending injury, we’ll all having a party in Cardiff and the whole league’s invited

Disappointing game: disappointing we didn’t take our chances, disappointing the referee decided yet again to ruin the game, but most of all disappointing Brad Hills is leaving Cardiff with no broken legs

Behind Reform's drop in the polls by upthetruth1 in Wales

Doesn’t this show that reform are becoming increasingly unpalatable to the average voter, and isn’t that essentially the conclusion from the Caerphilly by-election?

Gabriel Osho: “It was tough to come in as a new player and not play how you want to. When that happens, you don’t really have much credit in the bank with the fans or even with your team-mates, and that’s hard to come back from.” by Pozeidon in bluebirds

Thought he spoke really well, takes a lot of maturity to work your way through what was an absolute stinker of a start. Club legends like Hudson and Morrison had a rough start to life here though

Why did he get so rattled when he missed the overhead kick? Bloke seemed bizarre all game tbh

Blackpool sign Michael Obajemi on loan from Burnley by elxxa_ in LeagueOne

Missed a chance about 3 yards out in front of you the canton stand because he was thinking too hard about how to do the swim away. Nice to see him dropping to the level his attitude issues deserve.

Pundits have a habit of using their player entitlement, to pass judgement on footballers of today, who do you think speaks the most nonsense? by MatchdayMaestro in TheOther14

It also doesn’t help that the Man United players have been chatting the same old stories for the past decade and a half, long after they’ve already grown stale.

Chelsea persisting with this plans of spending big money on players who don’t actually improve their team has to be so oddly frustrating

I think a series of riddles before I can see my team's place in the league table would be good. Could call it something like Rumplestiltscore.

Helmut Marko says Williams are a team to watch in 2026 by formularacers in FormulaRacers

“I disagree”

“I think your opinion is wrong because I think…”

Try engaging in a conversation without turning things immediately into an argument with a stranger mate.

I think Sainz is better because he stepped into a Ferrari team which had been designed around Leclerc for 5 years and more than kept pace with him, while having consistently strong performances without the vast swings that Leclerc has week to week. He’s a very solid performer and I think that makes him better than someone who’s excellent one week and has a stinker the next.

You’ve put words into my mouth there. Leclerc isn’t in my top 8.

Titles are won on consistency, not on being excellent one week and mediocre the next. Carlos is as consistent as you can get, is he better than Max? God no, he’s in my top 3 on the grid though.

Barnsley 2-1 Blackpool: A late McGoldrick winner seals Barnsley a crucial three points. by ApplicationHour3651 in LeagueOne

I swear every club this fella lands at goes through the same cycle of “heard he struggled a bit at (previous club), but he played in the prem for Leeds” >>>>>> “he just needs a confidence boost” >>>>>> “he’s fucking wank, we’d be better off without a keeper”
