Your Most Unhinged Football Take?

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

You could well be right mate, the only people in the known universe who pretended not to see the most blatant handball in history of football were the officials ..!

Dean Henderson disagrees with it being the most blatant example……

Pretty sure a City player (Franny, maybe?) got away with a ludicrously blatant handball at Highbury back in the day. I seem to recall him basically punching away a goal bound header off the line. At the clock end? Or was that another team?

Ryan Giggs “great dribble” goal was only a goal because of poor keeping. Had Seaman stood up it would have been just another attempt at goal

Yeah, it gets played again and again when there's any FA cup related stuff on TV. It was poor defending and keeping.

David Beckham wasn't that good a footballer. Dead ball specialist with great PR.

Nobody else seems to be able to see it.

I used to argue this! Great if the ball wasn't moving!

John Barnes' goal against Brazil was ban average, He didn't dribble past anyone. He just ran at the side of them.

Blast from the past, didn’t we get rid of someone half decent and replace them with this oaf?

Yeah think we did but can’t remember who. It must have been either one of Parlane, Smith or Tolmie or possibly Melrose?

That's blatantly wrong.

That Pep could go down the leagues and get a team right up to the top division.

Romelu Lukaku moved from Inter to Chelsea as part of a scam to help Inter out of a financial hole.

He joined Chelsea for a huge fee, kicked off a few months in, said he had "unfinished business" with Inter, went back on loan and eventually left Chelsea for next to nothing. It was a bizarre episode that makes so much more sense if he knew he'd be back at Inter when he left.

that isn't unhinged tbf, everyone knows he was bang average but could score a freekick of two.

having nice hair and shagging a spice girl was his only talent.

Long time ago, but I think you have got that the wrong way round, a Arsenal player clearly puched the ball over the bar to stop a city goal and the ref Gordon hill? said he didnt see it because the sun was in his eyes?,
Although I do seem to remember franny scored a goal at Maine Road with his hand which was given?

The fat granny shagging rags shinner shown year after year by a lick spittle media.

David White was the jewel from our youth cup win who made the first team from 87/92 and not Paul lake.
Although being 9/10 year old at the time wingers/strikers always get more recognition....runs and hides.

I really liked Liverpool as a team when I was a lad. No one in school was a Liverpool supporter- basically a straight split between City and United.
I also was supporting any English or Scottish team in European games (bar 1).

That all changed at Anfield when they wrecked our bus Heysel in relation to Liverpool. It

Thought that was Nicky Weaver

My current "unhinged take" is that football is enjoyable.

Bring on today's sh*tshow!!!

I fully expect this to be that our stadium's capacity is reduced by 8000 seats and the press have a field day (rightly so)

Currently a good day for us is no news.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Ricky Villa's solo goal against us in the 81 final was hugely overrated. Rank bad defending, no one put in a challenge. And the c**t reduced a 10 year old me to tears.

I was at the game and it must have been 30 years until I'd watch the goal again, seemed to be on tv every fucking week, I'd just close my eyes.

Hate spursy.
