Posted August 12, 2013 Football Football Football. Bristol City involved in a 9 goal thriller yesterday. 3-0 Down at half time to Coventry, Pulled it back to 3-3 by the 75th minute. Concede a goal a minute later to be 4-3 down. Equalize in the 85th minute. Then 86th Concede again and lose the game 5-4. Couldn't handle the feels during that game, Nuts. However, Moyes competitive era off to a win, 100% trophy success under Moyes so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 12, 2013 Who says I support Liverpool? I swear you basically confirmed this at one point with YNWA in one of your posts.

Posted August 12, 2013 Literally not bothered about international football. Who arranged a pointless friendly 3 days before the start of the Premier League season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2013 Literally not bothered about international football. Who arranged a pointless friendly 3 days before the start of the Premier League season. You could argue that it helps get the players back up to match fitness. Although, the timing is pretty shit, I admit. Why couldn't this have been done a week earlier?

Posted August 12, 2013 I dislike how you feel that you have to choose between the national team and your club team. It's sad how so many people seem to be falling out of love with international football, in the UK anyway. International football used to be this wonderful thing, it would be nice if we could get back to those feeells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2013 I'm going to save this quote and bring it out next time you're complaining about the England team. Go for it. I get involved in discussion but the only time I find myself getting slightly interested is during a tournament. You could argue that it helps get the players back up to match fitness. Although, the timing is pretty shit, I admit. Why couldn't this have been done a week earlier? I think their pre-season programmes are enough for their fitness. If we lose a player to injury, I'll be livid. Why didn't they play this game at the end of last season? (Can't remember if their was an international break then or not come to think of it..)

(Can't remember if their was an international break then or not come to think of it..) I would imagine that they don't do it during the summer so that the players can get a break and go off with their teams for pre-season/travelling, etc. As it's so close to the start of the season, most teams have finished the majority of their pre-seasons "stuff" so will be getting ready for that first game. I can see the sense, but it should have been a week earlier, imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2013 I'm firmly against these pointless friendless days before the season starts, especially factoring in who is playing. There's a very decent chance it'll be a 'tasty' game, with some tackles flying in. I'll be amazed if the stretcher isn't in operation at least once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I'm advocating the date of the fixture but it could be said that the season is starting days after a FIFA chosen worldwide interntional fixture date rather than the other way around. The Premier League didn't have to start this weekend. Other leagues started a few weeks ago and others don't start for a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 13, 2013 It's not just the Premier League. The majority of leagues in Europe are in their infancy and these dates are fairly new thing. It's just a blatant attempt at making money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2013 But nobody cares about friendlies, everyone loves the Premier League. And it always starts pretty much the same time every year. That wasn't the point though. The point is that the date is chosen by FIFA and is for every country in the world, every country/league can choose their own start date. It just so happens that a number of European leagues start this weekend, if it was such a big deal they would either change. They could also choose not to play a friendly.

Posted August 13, 2013 Just come back from watching England U21 v Scotland U21 at Bramall Lane. England absolutely punished Scotland! 6-0!! Ive never seen owt like it!! Scotland was basically embarrassing and it came to a point whereby I actually wanted the game to end for them. Also 27k attendance. Not bad for a U21 friendly.
