The Soccer Thread (Version 13) — Winter World Cup Edition

Kenilworth Road is about half the size of Loftus Road, where I attended a game in March. That would barely be a PL level stadium if QPR would ever make its way back up. I can't imagine City going into Kenilworth Road for a damn PL match.

 

A Mou team just took a 1-0 lead.

 

Mou’s version of heaven is a one goal lead to defend in a big game. Camera on him even more than usual. Mind games with the 4th official. Over exaggerated directions to his players.

 

I love it. Of course, I also love it when the EPL sides have to travel to a minnow's home stadium in the FA Cup.

And if they don't turn that apartment building with a gate into the stadium into AirBnBs they are missing a HUGE moneymaker. I'd pay top dollar to stay there on a home matchday.

 

Stoppage time at the end could be 2 minutes. He'll still be screaming it's too long.

 

"I don't understand how the fourth official saw 2 minutes."

"There were 6 subs, Jose. Should have been 3 minutes."

"You don't know football."

 

As badly as it went for him at Spurs, the content on the Amazon show was outstanding.

 

If Luton Town can stay up a few years, they can use that EPL largesse to put a down payment on a modern football ground. Kenilworth Road is nice for League One (it would actually be a pleasure to attend a match there) but it's way too small for 19 EPL home fixtures.

 

I was considering a trip to Loftus Road in August before my trip got hampered by a medical issue. Mildly jealous, still.

 

Speaking of mind games with the fourth official ...
