The English Football Thread

Hate to say this but as someone who used to really look forward to the cup final it's become really meh when your team is not involved. The BBC are going overkill on the build up but that's because it's one of the few sporting events they still cover. I don't know any City or Watford fans so no one to take the piss out of or commiserate with.

Still a shame how much gloss got taken off it.. Semi finals at Wembley and moving the kick off time.

Agreed and trying to turn it into the Superbowl. Pre match entertainment Tinie Tempah a few years ago was a particular low, getting some X Factor reject to sing the national anthem and worse of all so many streamers and confetti when the trophy is lifted and you can hardly see the players.

Omg yeah!! Didn't it run late because he was either late or cause he kept going. Don't need any of that.

Just needs to be simple but effective really.  They go on about how it's lost its magic then wheel out random crap like that

We would’ve won the 2018-19 Premier League title if our points were worth double in England https://t.co/TLruLlRnjB

 I think still they probably are the best team in world football atm. Bans coming though, so how long that lasts is debatable.

[Vesper 27,282]

De Bruyne will be fully fit next season too and you know (especially with possible bans coming) they are going to load up this summer.

four nil

running riot

wow

I really have to LOL at people who say Jesus is a shit striker. I would KILL to have him here, and he only just turned 22.

He has 21 goals all comps in only half a season's worth of minutes.

He is better than any of our 5 strikers. HIs only fault is probably that he is no Agüero. 

[Vesper 27,282]

Shitty have now scored 167 goals (and counting), most ever by a English team in a season.

If Agüero had scored 2 more goals in 2013–14 (he missed well over a 3rd of the season due to injuries), and one more n 2015-16, he would have 30 plus goals in 7 of the last eight seasons

[Vesper 27,282]

 5 nil

one goal away from tying the record for biggest win ever in an FA cup final (1903)

[Vesper 27,282]

6 nil

tied the record and they still have time to break it

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Ohhh surprised no motm for Sterling 

[Vesper 27,282]

what a demolition (and if not for two late wonder-saves by Gomes they would have had 8)
