Fear Of The Fox

Leverkuzen's 2nd goal is a masterpiece. There's no other team in the world right now playing such direct attacking football. Yes they're a bit vulnerable at the back but this team imo plays the best football of the last 20yrs at least. And now it's 0-3.

I've posted here before the appointment that personally I didn't want a manager who worked very recently at Forest of Marinakis. I'm not just saying Forest, it's Forest and Marinakis. His record/stats were awful, this appointment doesn't make any sense for so many reasons. The quicker he gets the sack the better.

I have never understood this mentality. 10 games? Oh yeah, let's wait another 2 months to find out that he's not a proper manager. If you're employed in any private company you get the boot if you're underperforming or if you don't do your job well. But nooooo, football clubs are charities now, hiring these frauds and paying them millions without ANY pedigree is the norm. What a joke. Also if Coady has any decency he should offer himself to a National League team or, even better for him, apply for a role in a Forrest Gump sequel.

I see fellow fans saying about Cooper releasing the handbrake etc. He can't release anything because his tactical knowledge is the same as a toddler starting to play Football Manager. Just sack him tomorrow and offer the job to Pioli or Conceicao. We're in a better position without points deduction, squad is okay-ish, I know both managers above are considered probably top shelf but they might consider a PL job.

These clubs (and I'm not excluding ours) need a proper boycott by all fans. 2-3 months with completely empty stadiums in PL.

It doesn't matter if someone can afford it or not. It's disgusting.

Consider yourself lucky. I got a yellow card from Taylor and a second one from wife.

Sanchez clearly extends his right hand a second time after he was beaten and the ball was already passed over him. The rule is clear and you can see it on the replay. I can understand an argument if it was actually a pen but as long as it was given it's a red by the rule.

GK extended both hands and caught him with his right one when the ball was already passed over him. Soft or not it doesn't matter. As long as the pen was awarded it must have been a red. These refs don't know the rules.

If it was a penalty it should have been a red card because the GK didn't attempt to play the ball. Double jeopardy rule doesn't apply here. Officiating is a joke.

Maresca's luck will soon run out and this Chelsea team will get demolished 7, 8 or 9-0 by a top team.

Chelsea lucky they're not 2-0 or more down already.

It might sound an excessive comparison but what Vardy does is mental considering a lot of players his age, including Messi and Ronaldo, have moved to "pensioners" leagues. This alone with all his achievements so far elevates him to Hall of Fame status internationally.

Yeah sure. They were inventing the same excuses when Drinkwater wasn't playing. KDH will leave on loan next summer the latest. My guess is he will leave this winter transfer window.

Where is this fellow fan who was telling me PGMOL won't allow Premier League to slaughter us with decisions like this today? Some people are so naive that think these 2 corrupt bodies can't work together to destroy whichever team they like.

Sack Cooper by Monday and put a random fan from our forum in charge for the game. 4-0. Simples.

Can't deny it, I was expecting 0 pts from all these games so far and we have 2 pts. I've already posted my thoughts about Cooper before the appointment. If anybody thinks Cooper is a football manager I will gladly sell you some castles (2 of them) I have in Pluto. If you don't like castles I have 3 fields for sale in Venus and a farm with a pub in Mars. For the latter you need to be quick before Jeremy Clarkson makes an offer.

The game against Greece is going to be a good test. This greek national team is very good, possibly their best ever in terms of quality on the pitch.

Simon Jordan wants a league based on drama outside the pitch and behind the scenes. He makes more money under this status quo. He doesn't care about fans and the sport.

I agree with you but I'm not fully convinced there's integrity, morals and fairness in top level football. It's like politics and politicians. There's corruption. If you're getting on their way they have the power to bring you down. I know it sounds a bit silly but the sport has largely derailed off its roots and purpose nowadays and it makes me more pessimistic unfortunately. I hope I'm completely wrong.

The Premier League statement against the Appeal Board is absolutely appalling and disgusting. They're responsible for this farce, they're responsible for this joke of a sport they're ruining week in week out. Meanwhile teams like Man City and Chelsea are untouched. Oh, there are 115 charges so we'll make a decision by 2077. I'm afraid they'll "teach"us a proper lesson through VAR decisions this season.

Shocking penalty VAR decision. Vinicius kicks the GK with his foot and throws himself to the ground. You could see it easily in real time and the replay makes it even more clear. It's simple what it needs to be implemented. Red card for same incidents and an instant 2 months ban for these overpaid primadonnas who are killing the sport alongside FIFA.

If Cooper gets sacked we might be the first team in the history of PL putting up a vacancy for a manager on Indeed because there's no way any of the available managers will accept the job. League Two clubs do it for stats and tactics analysts with Football Manager experience (eg Bromley), we'll probably do it for a manager. I'm ready to apply.

A bit unfair? How would you have worded the statement? There's a photo of Sven with our badge, the club pays respects fully and wishes to the family. What more do you expect? It's a sad moment, it's not easy. Are you finding it easy to express yourself in similar occasions? I don't.
