The Football News Thread 2022/23

I've heard that, and another story goes that it was named after the New York World, a turn-of-the-century newspaper.

Neither can be confirmed, though, so I go with the obvious answer: god damned American Exceptionalism.

Chelsea v Man United moved to a Saturday 17.30 kick off on 22 October from its original Sunday 16.30 kick off as Chelsea are in Europe the following Wednesday.

Pretty late notice and a cunt for fans who have pre paid for travel.

Until the Met get involved. Away allocation reduced by 700 as the game kicks off after 5pm. United have unsurpringly already sold out the initial full allocation.

Match going fans. Always last.

Has Puyol come out at the same time? Difficult to get a grasp of these things on Twitter?

 

[Carrotdude]

He said something like it’s time to tell our story so it seems so? Pretty cool, but still a shame that this has to be a big deal

It seems that way? If it’s a joke it’s a bloody bad one!

 

[Alan]

Just a shame he couldn’t be open about it while he was playing.

 

[AndyWolves]

Seems like it's a joke / sarcasm from Cassilas and Puyol.

 

[Jack Regan]

Yep now saying it was all a joke. Classy!

Horrible stuff for Enoch Mwepu, told at 24 you have to retire today or your heart will give up. Looked a really good player.
