no one’s gonna disagree here I think, but god the Twitter discourse from Man City Luddites about Luton Town is just plain disgusting. They deserve to be here. Much more than that oil club, and I’d even say Man City deserves to be here (or at least, did pre-takeover).
Agreed, they fought their way into the top flight and kudos. I think @MHPengwingz@lemmy.world is right in that it may be too early, but I’m hoping they stay up :)
And I’ll say the same point in return; there’s no such thing as “too early” for a hundred million pounds
unless you’re chelsea I guess, but they’re clearly not that.
Their football is not up to standards yes, but they fought tooth and nails to get promoted. It was probably the most exciting playoff game in a while. Happened a bit too early in their timeline tbh
There’s no such thing as getting a hundred million pounds of parachute payments too early lol

Can’t believe Timber is already walking sans crutches it’s been a month, wtf
Hope he’s built as the same stuff as Xhaka and we’ll have him back in like December.
I want him back. Hopefully he comes back close to how he left, but that’s obviously being optimistic when (correct me if I’m wrong) he was being ruled out for the season
He was ruled out til Jan iirc, not the worst ACL injury
Ahh, yep… that sounds closer to what I remember seeing/hearing xD
It is so weird that there’s only two London clubs in Europe and it’s us and of all people West Ham. They’re alright but not the club you’d expect surely XD happy to see it tho
Bilva injured
ngl i’m happy, wouldn’t wish injuries on anyone but he’s such a good player; fingers crossed he’s out for our game but I doubt it lol
Rob Jones is officiating the NLD, Paul Tierney on VAR
how tf they assigning anyone other than Taylor / Oliver for the biggest derby in the PL
@Astrealix and how tf it’s always Paul Tierney either on the pitch or in the VAR room?
Aah, I remember now, Mike Dean is retired.And Lee Mason got sacked from that role only to be offered a different one XD we’ll be fine, it’s an NLD at the emirates what could go wrong
Giving Mastodon another shot cuz I’m tired of Twitter, and Lemmy doesn’t have anything to doomscroll. How does federation work here?
Ok so you guys can delete the pings and replies still work; idk if anyone else has tried that before but I know some of you will benefit from knowing that lol.
Feel like there’s many of the same problems that make me not use Ecosia tbh, but as a non-essential I might be using this more and more. Twitter still feels like it’s better as an experience but like, I ain’t paying for that shit.
AC Milan is not a serious team. Always going for the spectacular instead of going the simple route.
Seriously. If they just put their boot through it instead of trying all these flicks and passes in the box, they would be like 3 goals up.
Don’t think we should sign Toney; would rather we spend it on another defender so that we actually can rotate even with an injury lol. Plus preferably a replacement for Partey cuz we’ll need one given he’s got just two years left and I don’t see us extending him given his injury record. I think Toney is an upgrade on Nketiah right now, but I’m not convinced that it’s worth buying him and selling Nketiah for a kinda marginal upgrade.
So how many of you are willing to pay a fee for Twitter now that Elon is going to make it a subscription?

still waiting for a bluesky invite. Not gonna pay for Twitter though, fuck that lol.
Fuck the RFEF man.
red star, pls
eh, kinda don’t care tbh, didn’t have my hopes up given I just beat them in FM in the UECL with a much worse team than City
still a bit annoyed though cuz I want them losing every single game
Reading beat Exeter 9-0 in the pizza cup today. Guess our academy lads aren’t gonna be topping the group :p
Unless we beat them both lol which isn’t impossible I just wanted some cheap laughs
PSG might not be dangerous this season, but next season if they have a more cohesive unit under Enrique, they could win it all. Hakimi scoring with ease after 1-2s, sheesh.
Lazio… I hate that club but gotta respect that kinda goal lol
Provedel more goals than Mudryk :) /lh
