Football 25-26

[Agneeta]

Well Crystal Palace are about 10 minutes away from European Final, which although a nothing cup, is still a wild couple of years to be a Palace fan.

*finishes 12th again*

 

[Jark]

Villa hammering Forest for the Europa final spot. I'm surprised.

 

[Jark]

Carrick to be offered the United head coach/manager role full time, which has to be the best decision they've made in a while

 

[Soldi]

Good! I do worry though it’ll be a repeat of 2023/24. Finish third, qualify for CL, but then a disappointing next season.

How many ex-players do you think they'll get through as manager?

My money's on Jonny Evans as their next boss

 

[Soldi]

Championship play-off final may be delayed due to the Southampton spy gate

 

[Jark]

I'm pretty sure it will be Boro playing that play off. Southampton have to be punished for sending their man into the bushes.

 

[Soldi]

Hearts!!

 

[Jark]

Hearts!!

have been broken!

gutting that Celtic won this and the title. especially considering the penalty in their last game.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Fuck Celtic

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Fuck Celtic

I’m so fucking done, man. I hate the Old Firm and their grip on Scottish football so much.

 

[Soldi]

Pep ALLEGEDLY leaving City

 

[Jark]

will they confirm it already? I guess they wanted to wait til end of season to keep the focus on their last 2 games...

one more win and the title is ours.

 

[Jark]

Hincapie putting the (NICE) ARSE in Arsenal

 

[Tetris-Rock]

very FAMOUSMALES FORUMS of you, jark

 

[Agneeta]

 

[Sardonicus]

Should have been Declan Rice

I'm obsessed!

 

[Soldi]

Southampton KICKED OUT of the play-offs!

 

[Agneeta]

For SPYING?!

 

[big ron]

Wowzers

 

[Jark]

GOOD!!! it had to be done

 

[Jark]

and a fair punishment for how SHIT their spy was. he could've at least dressed as a tree

 

[Jark]

if things continue like this at Bournemouth... Arsenal win the league tonight

 

[Dark Carnival]

It’s always beautiful to see City lose

 

[Soldi]

Same, but it’d have been nice for it to go to the last day.

 

[Soldi]

Also Spurs losing

 

[Indie]

Southampton KICKED OUT of the play-offs!

Good. Glad they had the balls to do it.

An all-Yorkshire final. Albeit the worst parts of Yorkshire.

 

[Jark]

omg. so many EMOTIONS right now. almost a shame to win the league in these circumstances, rather than at the weekend, but we've done it and everyone popping off all fucking season long about how boring we are has to suck it COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!!

 

[Tetris-Rock]

fucking YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

 

[Sardonicus]

Congratulations @Jark & @Tetris-Rock - a few wobbles but a deserved title. Much preferable to City, & calling them THE ARSE has never felt more appropriate after yesterday

 

[Indie]

Does seem fair to give Arsenal a turn. Only once, mind. They can wait another 25 years for the next one.

Who do you support Ind?

Who do you support Ind?

The league champions*, of course.

One of my colleagues at the shop is a Rochdale fan, so has been rooting against York all season. Good thing they came up too - would have been ridiculous for a side to get 106 points & not get promoted. At this point National League to League 2 needs to work the same as the league divisions with 3 up 3 down.

and miss @Penelope! well done fellow GOONERS! (and to Jeremy Corbyn - not Keir Starmer though)

 

[funky]

So fucking happy that Man City didn’t win the title. Especially after winning the cup.

Yeah definitely. To be fair there is something to be said for the high number of points being because some of the teams in the league are weaker, but the teams at the top are still as good as any League 2 team.

No promoted team from the national league has ever been relegated the following season.

I expect an equally sporting reaction if Liverpool win next season ( )

My expectation is both York & Rochdale will keep up the momentum & ride high in League 2 next year. My friend from uni is a Stockport County fan - they've set the blueprint to follow for any promoted team without the superstar backing of Wrexham.
