The Football News Thread 2019/20 - everything not Wolves

[Kenny]

The lowercase i in this at Chelsea annoys more than it should

 

[BillyDee]

That is heinous.

 

[The Bear]

Agreed. Demolish the stadium.

 

[Kenny]

Bayern protesting about the ticket prices last night. I thought the sign looked odd with 59+1 and wondered why they included a booking fee but it turns out they are just brilliantly petty and refuse to put 60 as that relates to 1860 Munich

I did like what 1860 fans call the Bayern B team in their League "The Red Bastards II"

 

[Kenny]

FA charges Dele Alli with misconduct over Coronavirus social media video and aggravated breach of rules as it included a reference, whether express or implied, to race and/or colour and/or ethnic origin and/or nationality.

 

[BillyDee]

Can't see any mention of what the possible sanctions might be? He's been a bit of a dick, sure, but there were suggestions he might get some sort of ban. Seems a bit harsh.

Probably 1 game like Silva at City got earlier this season.

 

[BillyDee]

Yeah, I guess that's comparable (as in a ridiculous overreaction...).

At least now more than half of Portugal will support Wolves in the Europa league. The only remotely Portuguese team in the competition.

 

[Tom Hark]

You can forget about catching Covid-19 now:

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce said the club has banned shaking hands on the training ground

Nice one, Steve. We can all rest easy now.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Far be it for me to question such an amazing mind, but what about the mandatory pre-match handshake his lads have got to have with Burnley when they play tomorrow?

Mobile hand sanitiser at the end of each line. Wheeled into the centre circle for the toss up.

 

[Kenny]

Steve Barnes, sorry Bruce, knows all about the dangers of influenza so I trust him on this matter.

:icon_lol:

I wouldn't ask him about it directly though. He'd probably go rambling off about the Black Death or something.

Pre-match chest bump.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

When asked if the players would still be permitted to hug each other when a goal is scored, Bruce replied that the club had not considered such a remote possibility.

 

[Tony Towner]

Pre-match chest bump.

Very nearly. Fist pump apparently

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Leeds have their racist keeper banned for eight games

 

[Paul]

"The FA panel have based their decision on the balance of probability rather than proving Kiko to be guilty beyond reasonable doubt, which we have always believed is the more appropriate burden of proof."

Is that because he would have been racist in Spanish ??

 

[Tony Towner]

Nah, it's the same as John Terry with Anton Ferdinand
