Official TB Football Thread

Sign in to disble this ad
Seeing as we've had NHL, NBA, NFL, cricket and now MLB threads, it's time for all the footy fans of OT to congregate. I'm kinda odd in that I'm a footballing polyginist: I latched on to Newcastle as a 3-year-old in Derby, went week-in-week-out to Shrewsbury Town FC from age 4 to 11 and have spent the last 4 years ever present at FC Zürich...

This year, the Toon are looking steady in mid table (great result on Tuesday), Shrews are 1 point off the automatics and Züri are a point off the lead and still to play the leaders (Basel). Could be a very, very, good season...

You need to change the title to Official TB Soccer Thread, sorry.

I'm not familiar with any of the teams mentioned. Are they Arena Football teams or CFL teams or something? Did NFL Europe silently make a comeback?

I'm still bummed from my beloved Gunners throwing away the title that was theirs to take. Sure, it's still possible, but now highly doubtful.

I wouldn't say it's in the bag, but I can't see United losing the title this season.

Because clearly a game that involves constant contact between a foot and a ball and that most of the world (apart from North America and Australia) calls football shouldn't be allowed to call itself football.

Absolutely. That'd be waaaaaaaaaay too obvious for TB

Big game today. Glorious Shrewsbury away to the inbreeding, car stealing, sheep bothering scum of Hereford.
