Football Banter

To be honest when you've won just about all there is to win domestically you want a new challenge and Rodgers will certainly get that at Leicester City. Might give Rangers a chance of winning again for a change Mind you it makes you wonder how he did it in Scotland when he couldn't win a single title with Liverpool!

The Scottish Premier has been effectively a one horse race for Celtic since Rangers' demotion a few seasons ago & so several title wins looks good on Rodgers' CV.But in perspective it probably won't get the top 4 teams in any European leagues beating his door down should a managerial vacancy become available.Rodgers is a good manager who failed abysmally at Watford,done well at Swansea & had a few good seasons at Liverpool (before he petered out)where he took them to within a gnats cock away from the Premiership title (where they blew a 3 goal lead at Palace & losing to Chelsea with the Gerrard slip). Leicester have the nucleus of a good Premiership side to challenge for a Top 6 spot with the likes of Schmiecal,Vardy, Maguire,Chillwell etc & so I'd expect Rodgers to do well there.

Only my lot could play like absolute shite and lose twice to Huddersfield .
They have 14 points and 6 of them against us .

Claudio Ranieri been sacked by Fulham.

That adds to the boiling pot of the Fulham V Chelsea game tomorrow. Does Sarri even dare contemplate starting with Kepa in the game after benching him mid week and a week on from the incident at Wembley?

Not enough Dilly going on I guess to save his job. I think he is respected throughout the the English for what he has achieved.

Today in the Championship Birmingham were playing Aston Villa, which is a derby match with a bit of needle here and there but then some mindless thug managed to get through the stewards, ran on to the pitch(which is a criminal offence) and punched Jack Grealish, the captain of Aston Villa. The stewards grabbed hold of this idiot and he waved to the crowd who applauded him. What on earth is going on when other fans will applaud the mindless attack of a footballer on the field of play. They should hold their heads in shame and that thug is going to be banned for life. You do not expect to go to a football match and see a footballer abused verbally, have a bottle slung at them or some moron running on the pitch to attack them.

Something has to be done, this is not the first time an incident like this has happened Dele Alle had a bottle of water thrown at him, coins have been thrown and other incidents. This MUST stop. Security has to be tightened up at football grounds so that players and spectators can play/watch in safety. I'm all for banter and rivalry but this is over-stepping that and there is NO excuse for this. Any other fans that applauded should be tracked down and banned too, this sort of thing is not wanted in any sport let alone football.

And now an Arsenal fan has run onto the pitch and given Chris Smalling a shove in the back, one more for the banned list.
