imagine giving a world class massive new stadium to a team that can’t even play football league quality. so yes they should give it to orient instead

gently caress yourself. Aggressively dumb things? I'm just more attuned to the truth of certain things than most of the twats in this shithole TRP forum. Such as recognizing that while Zlatan did pretty well he was also by far the most wasteful striker in the league, missing twice as many bug chances as the next one. Any good striker would get 20+ goals playing for a team creating as many chances as United did, so bringing up his stat of 28 goals in 46 matches is a bit of a moot point.

lol nice

Blatant dives get punished by referees during the game

These dives are the ones that con the refs, and get punished retrospectively

Why is this so hard to understand?

imagine thinking blatant dives get punished by refs in game smdh

Can we agree that both should be punished? Niasse conned the referee and bought a penalty. It is absolutely correct that he should be punished for it. Referees should also be able to catch these incidents during the game, but when they don't having a back up plan is a good idea.

at the risk of continuing a pointless argument: there has to be a middle ground between a dive and a penalty. just because the ref bottled it doesn’t mean it was a dive.

Picture the scene. 1975 and 16 year old Sid is dragged by his ear into the foreman's office. Sid was doing an apprenticeship in toolmaking and was in his first year. It was an okay job when many of his ilk were signing on or doing poo poo jobs for poo poo wages (Sid was on nearly £16 a week!)

'Look lad, this has been your third absence since you started, I know what's behind it... bloody football. Everton don't pay your wages, they won't be there for you when you have your first kid or need a house to live in... now grow up, buckle down and gently caress football or you'll be out on your arse'

Sid smiled to himself... 'he'll never understand... he's dead inside... he has no passion in his life... I have... we've QPR away on Tuesday, Latchford and Pearson are banging them in and I'm going to be there for the lads... gently caress this shite job'

These were the days when Everton meant everything to me... everything else took second place. Missing a game was quite unthinkable. In my heart, in my soul... my everything. It wasn't the first job I lost through my love for Everton...

2017... Wife. ' Do you fancy a couple of weeks away?'. I thought about this... 'When'...

'Early December' She said

'But that's the football season' I thought.

I've just had a life threatening illness... I was a couple of weeks from playing my harp in a football free zone, all white with celestial temples not even called Derek. I thought about the way we'd been playing, the lack of effort, the lack of care... the complete lack of the thought from some of the players that 'this matters'

'Yeah book it' I said

I'll miss West Ham, Huddersfield, Apollon Limmosol, Liverpool and Newcastle

This would have been unthinkable to the 16 year old Sid... but gently caress Everton, gently caress them... and gently caress young Sid...

The players don't give a shite - why should I?

See you in three weeks

How well do you expect Stoke to be performing then, given their location, pulling power for good players etc? They never seem in any danger of relegation and they had a tough start to the season if I recall as far as fixtures go.

Not all manager posts are created equal, a record like that would be far more dire at Chelsea than at Stoke.

if i was a footballer the ability to buy a three bed garden terrace for £40k would be a huge draw

Just had a look on some sites and I did actually see some terraced houses for £40k though most are a bit higher, but still. That's insane, is Stoke that much of a shithole? Good way to get on the property ladder if you work from home I guess. Or you could commute to Brum. Surely even a minimum wage job in Stoke though means that house is 3 times your salary. What the gently caress is going on in Stoke

yes

Honestly, location of a club is not the huge barrier it's made out to be. It literally is just money and the chance to win things. How else can you explain people willingly living in Manchester?
