The Football News Thread 2016/17 - everything not Wolves

[Kenny]

Marc Bartra injured and taken to hospital, everyone else ok.

Conflicting reports on that. Some saying no injuries.

 

[YoungWolf]

Game postponed until tomorrow. 5:45pm

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Doesn't look that bad on the pictures I've seen, few broken windows on the bus but you'd probably wouldn't notice anything wrong at first glance if you hadn't been told something had happened, imagine Bartra's injuries are probably only some minor cuts.

 

[SSB]

Wonder if Lambert & Hoddle will spend the evening discussing Wolves now they've got the night off?

 

[Alan]

Got a feeling that this will have been much ado about nothing. Not even seen anything to suggest the reports of "explosions" are accurate.

Seems like it was a firecracker that went through the window, if so then dangerous but not the bomb story lots are pushing.

Aye, you could practically hear the American coverage resisting the urge to call it terrorism as soon as the first tweet went out.

 

[slink]

Apparently they were bombs now, 3 of them. Seems crazy as fuck and if the game is going ahead tomorrow then not sure what frame of mind Dortmund's team will be in.

 

[SSB]

I'd wondered if it was similar to when Man Utd turned up at West Ham last year? But then this was the home team coach?

Call me optimistically cynical, but if they were truly bombs, they weren't very good ones.

Either that or they've got a hell of a team bus, couple broken windows doesn't seem a bad trade off against 3 bombs.

 

[Kenny]

Explosions went off in front of the hotel rather than on the bus. So just in the blast zone.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Annual farce with the PFA Young Player of the Year award, Lukaku nominated. He's 24 next month, he's played nearly 200 Premier League games and he's an established first choice international striker.

They either need to move the threshold or change it to "Breakout Player" or something, this is nonsense.

 

[YoungWolf]

Just having the same discussion. Same with Kane too I think? He is almost 24 too. Ridiculous.

 

[Johnny75]

Silly really, maybe it should be a player who hasn't played more than 100 games and under 23 which is effectively their first 2 full seasons. Lukaku, Kane and Hazard are well over that.

Ross Barkley: The Sun article 'racist and prehistoric' says Liverpool mayor.

Kelvin MacKenzie in cunt shocker.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39601728

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Mackenzie should have been removed from journalism years ago. Has never forgiven what he sees as the "slight" of having to apologise for the utter cuntery he wrote in 1989 and now he hates Liverpool for the sun boycott.

Also very clear that the Sun are trying to distance themselves from this as an "opinion piece". Well, you didn't have to print it fuck heads...

 

[The Bear]

Classless article, but not at all racist IMO.

 

[Johnny75]

Eh? You realise Barkley is mixed race?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Eh? You realise Barkley is mixed race?

It's the first I've known of it to be honest, not sure it that's true it the author but if he didn't realise either then I'd struggle to call it racist, even if he did know then it's still possibly just stupid rather than intentionally racist.

Either way his first comment seems pretty spot on, Barkley usually plays like he's thick as shit.
