And now their players are coming out saying it’s removed the mental block beating City, and now they know they can beat them. I’m pretty sure they only beat them on penalties after a lucky last-minute deflected equalizer in what is an otherwise glorified friendly. It’s like they are trying to convince themselves of something. It’s weird. That's what they're convincing themselves of, hopefully. Not weird at all.

I’ve never seen a team celebrate winning the charity shield before like this. Not even during the days of the Arsenal v United rivalry. Convincing themselves they have unlocked something isn’t weird. Celebrating like they just won the FA Cup though is. Not even Leicester celebrated like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JfR Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Mildly interesting little factoid popped up about the Tranmere vs. Barnsley match going on right now. The last time they met in the League Cup was back in November 1999. Tranmere's keeper that day was Joe Murphy. Tranmere's keeper today is the very same Joe Murphy. Almost feels like that shouldn't be possible. SKRam, TimRam and TigerTedd 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) The look and gameplay of that Man C v Arsenal match was like watching a fifa computer game. Compare that to the Big Match Revisited on earlier. Football has definately lost something with the Premiership.

oomarkwright Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Leicester looking classier than Burton but brewers look a strong bulky team and will cause us problems on set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Messi is ripping it up in the MLS he must be loving it. He’s played five, scored eight and has some assists too. Inter Miami were winless in 13 before his arrival and now they’ve won every game since. Interestingly Robert Taylor plays for Miami. He was released by Forest, couldn’t cut it at Barnet in the conference, went back to play in Finland, had spells in Norway and Sweden yet now plays alongside Messi, Busquets and Jordi Alba. What a story. There was also a story earlier of one of Charlotte’s centre-backs who played against Messi is on a scholar deal where he only earns something like $30k a year. I think it was mentioned that Messi earns his yearly salary in just a few hours. The disparity is laughable. I mean Messi, even at 36, is still performing at a world class level yet he is playing against some players who would struggle to hold down a regular place in a League Two side.

I heard a story once about tigers that were released in the Serengeti to see how they would get on outside their natural environment. They proceeded down to the nearest watering hole and killed dozens of antelope like a cat would play with mice. They very quickly swept up the tigers and took them back to where they belong. The Serengeti, used to lazy lions, just wasn’t ready for the tigers. That sounds like Messi in the MLS. Bris Vegas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Man Utd got away with robbery then. I’m not talking about the non-penalty, more the fact that Wolves were by far the better team throughout and missed a number of sitters. That was like a Derby 1-0 under Billy Davies back in the day.

RoyMac5 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 How on earth was that not a penalty? If any other player but the keeper had piled into a challenge and missed everything but the opposition player then they'd have given a foul and at least a booking. VAR is pointless.

Unbelievable decision no doubt someone will be apologising to wolves tomorrow, not good enough top sides get preferential treatment VAR was supposedly brought in to get correct decisions RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
