Looks like they had already told Farke before today’s game. Strange they then went and won…

 

International break ain't it. The decision will have been made days or even weeks ago, knowing now the new guy will have a couple of weeks to work with the players.

 

I assume from last year I guess.

 

Also saw the stat being thrown around that 21% of Man United’s home losses in the PL have come under Ole’s tenure.

 

Guessing he and Martinelli have the same media team lol

 

aren’t you on the Arsenal pr team or is my mind making that up? Haha

 

I am not, i do work in marketing for a sports team but it isn’t Arsenal. That club take up enough of my mental capacity as it is tbf.

 

So, I am planning some sort of football tour across the UK (and maybe Ireland) next year and I am looking for suggestions for interesting or special football clubs to visit. I don't care at all about the league the clubs are playing in. I am looking for cool or unusual grounds, clubs that have a unique concept (like St. Pauli, Rayo, United of Manchester), or anything else that would be worth a visit. Any suggestion is welcome.

 

AFC Wimbledon? Set up after Wimbledon became MK Dons (ie. not in Wimbledon) and have clawed their way up the footballing table under fan ownership (similar to United of Manchester but they’re actually now a league club and Wimbledon has a brilliant history in the past known as the ‘crazy gang’ in the 1980/90s due to their style and fans)

 

Forest Green Rovers are quite unusual, with all their green/eco stuff and I think the club is vegan as well now or something. Can't remember the full extent of that.

Dundee FC and United have their grounds like across the road from each other. Not sure if you can make anything fun out of that though!

 

Definitely Forest Green. They’re a carbon neutral, totally vegan club who are set to win League Two this year. They have plans for a new stadium made of sustainable materials but unsure when that will be completed.

Crystal Palace are a good shout too, they have arguably the best atmosphere in the PL and their stadium has a nightclub in it called Crystals.

Brighton’s stadium is a nice smaller modern ground but it’s a nice excuse to visit the best place in the UK.

Fulham’s is called Craven Cottage and has a literal 1800’s cottage built into the side of it which is cool.

Caledonian Thistle have a small stadium built just off of Moray Firth, give it a google, it’s a stunning location.

If you’re looking at the bigger stadiums, Old Trafford is falling to bits, Stamford Bridge is awful, Villa Park is in one of the roughest areas of Birmingham and The Etihad is just empty and dead. Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal are the best big teams to visit by a country mile.

 

Sold his best player and then sacked him

 

Ole gonna outlast every manager in the league

 

I get WHY that is offside, but we’ve been punished for their mistake which is stupid

 

Godfrey stepping on Son’s stomach and not even a yellow

 

And then Reguilon booked for something minor lol

 

We are so bad defensively

 

These random announcements from Everton’s stadium speaker are weird

 

Danny Rose is so bad. What the actual fuck was he thinking

 

Auba’s touch, moreso really. Reading the reaction to that I’m surprised so many don’t actually know the rule though

 

Hojbjerg struggling today
