Soccerball Therad

Post by **Pual** » Tue Jul 21, 2026 7:59 am

Does anybody else remember “football”?

It was a bit like soccer in that the richest team always won but the teams were owned by dodgy millionaires instead of dodgy billionaires and only poor people liked it?

UEFA should sod the World Cup off, and say to FIFA - Good luck with your all new private capital World Cup!

The only thing I enjoy is schadenfreude, especially their first album - 'Ha! Ha!'.

I like the way this was an even bigger quicker failure and capitulation than the super league

I see Chelsea have just bought someone to put out the training ground cones, and organise nights out for the first team squad.

Football, like the poor, will be with us always.

I remember Jimmy Greaves saying something similar on Saint & Greavsie, and 'Saint' cackling "Ha ha! You kill me, Greavsie! Football! Poor! Always! Ha! Ha! Haaaaaaaaaaa!".

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Aug 15, 2026 10:37 am

That was quite a penalty decision Wolves got last night.

Post by **endar** » Sat Aug 15, 2026 12:28 pm

"What a cracker, Jimmy" is all I remember Saint saying, and I'm not sure if that was the real show or a Spitting Image sketch

Russell Martin (Leicester manager) is STILL trying to get his teams to play out from the back when the players at his disposal aren't capable of doing so. What is wrong with his brane?!?

Post by **dng** » Mon Aug 17, 2026 10:29 am

I hope he gets leicester relegated

maybe they follow the uefa rules that deem "if you can understand it, the format is invalid"

It never ceases to amaze me about how many people want to be, and enjoy being, total and utter shameless shitholes.

The investigation has checked all of man city's goals over the affected period and, shockingly, none of them actually "went in"

They came for Man City but I wasn’t Man City so I did nothing.
