Gerd Muller was one of my favourite non City players..he was dynamite

Mustard.

Just shows the ignorance in the media with not realising they have spent very close to us on transfers and wages

Nah they haven’t. Net spend levelling up now but in total we’ve outplayed more. But in football, as the rags are showing, it’s not what you spend but how you spend it

Allez le Nantes..

Been to a couple of games there and never seen so many fit women at footy.

Was at Nantes last week for match against Toulouse, really entertaining game and like you say some lovely ladies. And at €75 for 7 of us, a bargain

I reckon mbappe is shit

You’re that witch doctor aren’t you?

the one rule that gets my back up is excessively shielding the ball so it goes out for a goal kick.
happy for someone to explain what's wrong with my long held view that if a guy is shielding it then it should be considered in his possession, and a corner given. Otherwise i don't see why it isn't obstruction. It would force defenders to play the ball or risk a corner. Keeping the game moving.
sometimes the shielding is outrageous.

Particularly the kind of 'shielding' that got Cancelo an elbow across the jaw last week.....

Alleged links to parisian gangsters.

Basically he's the French Steve Gerrard.

I can understand it when the shielding is one yard from the goal line but someone of this is going on for 7 or 8 yards away. It looks ridiculous and the attacker usually get penalised if he leans on the defender who surprise surprise falls over with flailing arms and pleasing looks at the referee.

Ahem pleading looks at the referee!

Part of the protocol after the death of a monarch is suspension of sporting events for nine days. The EPL are yet to announce whether fixtures are suspended for this period.

There is no protocol. It hasn't happened for more than 70 years and last time (King George) all football matches were not suspended for the entire mourning period. Racing and Rugby did shut down. Let's wait and see.

What happened to football in the UK after King George VI died?

When the British monarch passed away in 1952, football matches continued and paid their respects to the king

Correct.
It should be a day of mourning.
When everything should stop

 

[city saint]

Correct.

this one day for the funeral and play the national anthem by way of respect before every game until then

I did say the EPL hadn't made a decision but the plan for sporting events under operation London Bridge is they will be postponed for the nine day period.

No chance of that. Imagine the commercial compensation required. It will be the same as in the past. Everything will close down for the funeral. Operation London Bridge says nothing about stopping sporting fixtures. The papers suggesting this ie the Daily Mail are just producing their usual scaremongering fake news. It's a shame we can't shut them down for nine days.

Britain’s plan for when Queen Elizabeth II dies

POLITICO has obtained documents laying out Operation LONDON BRIDGE in granular detail.

Only for nine days?

BT are now showing a black screen with some mournful background music, which in fairness is an upgrade on Wio aka Plug and co.

 

[crazyg]

TAA, maguire and Rashford are 3 reasons why England mens team will never win anything

Edit: sorry forgot henderson, 4 reasons

Amongst your reasons are.......

 

[Jesus2020]

Sky sports news is no longer a sports news channel which is odd as I'm sure there's plenty of news outlets available for those who wish to mourn the queen

 

[Blue Mist]

Have you considered at all that you are advocating scab Labour?

I'm not a union man so don't recognise that term. A person has a right to work, travel and enjoy themselves. If a person is willing to provide an alternative form of transport then i do not see a problem.

Only for nine days?

Should be for 2022 and 2023
