Football

Scotland did well in the second half.

Must win game for Engurland tonight. Can't say I'll be watching.

Err, lol

2 good goals from Kosovo.

This has been some car crash football

keane, rice, maguire & barkley all looked poor

According to various sources including the authoritative Sun, Kante to Real Madrid is a done deal.

Never mind that, in proper football (fat 6-a-side) news, we beat the league winners in the cup semi-final. A tense 1-1 draw on the pitch with no subs on either side and the blues heroic winger retired to defence with a bout of food poisoning. On the plus side, food poisoning induced weight loss contributed enough bonus goals to see us through. Sad no penalties though.

Nice one 👍👍👍 good luck for the final

story in the athletic about Zidane wanting him for next season. Lots of sources say in that article.

On a fuck international break note.
Lo Celso whose had two substitute appearances for us got his hip/groin fucked in a meaningless friendly between argentina and chile (which has become increasingly brutal of late) and is set to miss six weeks!!!! FML

Having my 3rd ever 10-week season off 5-a-side football in, um, 18 years of playing in the same league. It's a good chance to get all of my niggly injuries sorted out properly and weight has dropped due to lack of post-game pintage.

Wow that’s a long old stint... This is my second season of playing after about 18 years of avoiding running around. Some of the guys it’s more like 30 years!
Very disconcerting seeing a practically round man dancing on the ball like an even fatter original ronaldo.

weight loss contributed enough bonus goals

Wait what new fifa rule is this?

escaping to the football thread for some tranquillity and reasoned discussion ?

If I wanted reasoned discussion I’d be on the robot lawnmower forum.

I have a horrid suspicion that you already are. I also have a suspicion that your discussions there are no more reasoned than they are on here.

Current chat is about improving the grip in the corners, particularly around the base of trees. Spoilers have been ruled out. Scuba weights above the rear axle seem to be the best way to increase downforce on something which trundles about at about 5mph. Added weight seems to have no impact on straight line speed but may impact range from about 90ish minutes to just under 90ish minutes, give or take. There’s space in the boot for 2x1kg bags so no impact on the aesthetics, vitally important stuff.

I have no issues with grip on my lawn and no tree roots to power over but might add scuba weights just so I can say it’s been modded.

Staying on topic, it keeps the grass nice so you could kick a football on it if you were so inclined.

Do you have a lawn in Hong Kong or are you living the memories of your lawn in England in the same way that you live the memories of the days when you used to cycle? (and watch football, to keep on topic)

5 pts clear at the top after 5 games can't complain at that

silly early goal conceded but after that we played really well to draw level then pull ahead
sadio mane putting in a shift and a half again today, such a good player, challenging sterling for player of the year so far

see if leicester and palace can close the gap at the top .... come on spurs / man utd

Looking a bit worrying for us as Rüdiger is off and Wolves capitalising. Clinging on for a point if we are lucky.

Real squeaky bum game. Just squeaked through.

Just flicked onto the Flashscore app to see how many Man City were winning by.

1-3!?

I bet the odds for 6-3 to City are still short.

wow, well in norwich
