SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2021/22

Sevilla I hate cos of what they did to Liverpool down the years. Never an easy night with them.

 

They always fight to the end. And they have a very good squad this year, does Sevilla.

Ronaldo with the late goal against Spurs. Was expecting Tottenham to light them up but it has not happened yet.

 

Spurs had a goal disallowed as did United.

Spurs manager came out and criticised "Certain Players" before the game.

I don't think that was too smart.

It's probably true that some of them don't try very hard but it's not smart to tell everyone before a game like this.

United will win this and Ollie will stay in his job.

 

Weird performance by Liverpool. Can't afford to drop too many points with the form Chelshit are in. Still did better than City though.

 

I think Brighton are better than most people like to regard them.

Also I believe you simply cannot have the sort of high you have last week and be able to follow it up immediately or sustain it.

We keep getting caught out behind.

Won't win the league unless there is a collapse in form by Chelsea.

 

I backed Brighton at 18/1 win or draw, £5, £5 win or draw at 7/1 and £4 win or draw at 3.5/1

I was raging I didn't put the full tenner down at 18/1

 

I see Olly lives to fight another day. Made £8 off that fucker and all.

I really cannot stand United.

If I was a billionaire, I would buy United and then just sell all their players. They'd lose every week.

 

NUFCs new owners have about £200m in January to spend if they want to stay within FFP limits.

It'll probably not be enough to keep them up.

MTF

 

You should charge them 50 million for consulting services.

 

And subcontract the work out to Fightbeat.

Our motto is "Press Play Don't Pay the UE- FA"

 

£200m used to buy you 3 years worth of title-contention, minimum.

Now it gets you out of a relegation dogfight.

I live for the odd day you have Liverpool bashing United.

And a good SUMMER International tournament.

The rest of it can fuck off.

 

Wouldn't mind Sevilla, Real Sociedad or Real Betis winning it, not sure if the latter two are in with a genuine shout or not but I was gutted for Sociedad when they just missed out in the early 2000s, and I've always liked Betis.

 

Betis looks solid so far. I know it’s early, but as of now, they are in the race. Yeah Sociedad had bad luck in 2001. Just wasn’t fair.

I would like Sevilla to win it this year. They’re playing with true desire to win.

 

MLS is pretty fun to watch. Reason being that the defense is so inferior to world level.

 

Dortmund actually managed a clean sheet. Might be the first time this year in all competitions. Clear sign they're going to win the BL, CL and even World Cup.

 

I watched it when Zlatan was in it, he was involved in some great games because he was so good but the rest of the team were so inferior, ended up with some really high scoring matches.

 

I was watching a Zlatan interview when he shit on Carlos Vela after the interviewer suggested Vela was the best player in the MLS.

Zlatan: "How old is he?"

Interviewer: "Hes 29."

Zlatan: "He's 29... in his prime... in the MLS.."

Lmao!

 

John Aldridge played for Sociedad after he left Liverpool..

 

He's shitting on the MLS, too.

Ps Djimi Traore has 1 champions league winners medal.

Zlstan has... 0

 

Funniest thing was when he left Inter Milan so he could finally win the Champions League with Barcelona, then the next season Inter Milan win the Champions League, knocking out Barcelona along the way. Then he falls out with Pep, quits Barcelona and then the next season Barca win it.

 

I never liked him. A scorer of great goals rather than a great scorer of goals.

He was always larging it. "The Zlatan" etc etc.

And the media lapped it up.

 

I didn't realise he was the 3rd top goalscorer in the top 5 European leagues behind Ronaldo and Messi, but those numbers are probably inflated due to his time at PSG in the French Farmers League.

 

1 home win in the PL this week. Burnley vs Brentford.

Wolves vs Everton the remaining fixture.

 

Whose dribbling impressed yall the most?

 

Maradona. Messi is in the same category in that what they do you cannot teach. To run full speed at an opponent while dribbling the ball with that soft touch that it makes it look like it’s glued to his foot…

UNCANNY. I honestly feel that cannot be taught.

 

Jimmy Johnstone

 

Yeah. Watched him yesterday. Johnstone was magic with the ball.

He and Best it appears were the best dribblers to ever come from the UK.

 

Fuck Spurs.

Moronic small minded insignificant outfit.

 

I'd go with Maradona but all three belong at the very highest of the elite level dribblers.
