Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [27th - 2nd July 2020]

Wouldn't be shocked in Leicester choked top 4 now, poor run of form and hard run of games and this won't help.

 

[robfosters]

Watford really are their own worst enemies

 

[Shamikebab]

Leicester's form has been dipping for a while. I think it'll just be a case of if there are enough games left for them to drop out of top 4.

 

[SideWinder]

....do we discuss City vs Newcastle here?

City to edge it 2-1...92min goal.

 

[BaZ87]

Can't believe City are playing KdB again. He's played every game since the restart, looked shattered towards the end of the Chelsea game (got left for dead by William for Chelsea's winning penalty) and has a history of muscle problems. They really can't afford to lose him for the CL games after Aguero's injury

Probably rest him in the league. That’s less important than the cup now.

 

[SideWinder]

City's bench is frightening. Such depth.

 

[McBain]

I don’t think Newcastle have completed a single pass in the last 10 minutes

 

[mmj_uk]

City are looking a bit one dimensional though, Newcastle are defending narrow and they're still trying to pass through the middle. Just get it out wide and put some crosses in.

BBC says...

15 passes completed by Newcastle.

188 by Man City.

Night of the Museum: Secret of the Tomb has just started on E4. Chucking that on as background noise instead. Thought Newcastle had a bit more of a chance so meh.

 

[McBain]

Moronic defending

 

[robfosters]

BBC seem to have got the worst of the three ties today. Total mismatch.

 

[Andybtsn]

I’m sure a league 1 side would be more adventurous than Newcastle. Pathetic

Just said that to my city supporting mate. Whats the point? Its pathetic. If this takeover happens he has to go if Newcastle have any ambition.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Funny watching Bruce shaking his head on the sidelines, he always looks like he’s about to burst into tears.

 

[nemtizz]

If it goes through there's no way he'll be kept on, even if he fluked it to the final.

 

[nicktay2605]

Micah Richards is such a pointless pundit, he's got to be one of the most biased I've ever seen. He's banging on about how City have got better every year, yet they're clearly worse this year than last and arguably had their best season in 2017/18 when they set the records point total.

If the opposition got better then City could do too, meaning they could be better than the 17/18 team.

No FA Cup for Arsenal then.

 

[nicktay2605]

If the opposition got better then City could do too, meaning they could be better than the 17/18 team.

But they've had a worse season in most measurable stats than they did last year or the year before. I can see how you could make the argument for them being better last year than they were in 2017/18, but it's really hard to argue they haven't gone backwards this year.

edit: of course City get the easiest draw (no offence Arsenal fans), their luck in cup draws is absurd.
