That’s not true at all like - handball (for a defending team) is one of the clearest and easiest rules to interpret. It clearly defines handball offence as needing to be deliberate. Unless a player’s hand/arm is moved into the ball (rather than the other way round), it’s never a penalty. The attacking teams/goals disallowed is a load of bollocks mind. Yeah. I’ve always known it as ball to hand or hand to ball. I thought it changed a year or so ago so any defending touch on the ball had to be a pen?

Blame the people who write the laws of the game tbh. They need to clarify the difference between real handball and false handball calls like that. The refs have little room for manoeuvre, they've got to give it and I bet the majority of them think it's bullshit too.

Do skybet settle bets if a team is leading by 3?

He’s better than I thought, no problem admitting it. He’s a solid signing on the basis of Saturday night, took his goal well, played well and defended his fb whilst supporting him going forward. Can see him, Hayden and Shelvey combining to make a solid 3 CM as and when needed. He did well

Murphy, Ritchie and Hendrick behind big Andy C with the fancy forrins on the bench. A strategy our very own Discman would be proud of Quite depressing to say but the racists in our fan base are more likely to accept Almiron and ASM than Murphy Eh?? Unsure if James understands racism. I would like Murphy to be given a chance tbh so we can see what he is like now. James, is it because Almiron is white and Murphy's skin tone is lighter than ASM's? Please don’t set him off again

What the absolute fuck are you talking about man? Why even raise it?

Fucking Turkey the other night. One up and a man up and they played the last 35 minutes without even coming close to getting the corner I needed. Cunts didn't give a single fuck. They were barely even running by FT.

After having a small success with 1+ corner per team per half and a yellow each (in 3 games) I'm now fucked off with it totally Let down by one thing not happening so many times now. Portugal (dirtiest fuckers in football) no yellow. Norway (whack 5 past NI) no corners. England tonight (17 fouls) no fucking booking It's only a quid a time but it's generally about 10/1 or 11/1. So fucking close each night man

I’d watch it for ‘that’ miss alone. "Oooohhhhhhh nnnoooooooo!!"

Mike had a couple of sticks on Boro -2

Just one of several myths that people assume are true because they've heard it so many times. "demanding fans" "love a number 9" "would rather lose 4-3" "unrealistic expectations" and so on. All now commonly accepted as being completely true.

What a rotten bit of luck.

Only surprise for me is that they actually saved Merson

Do they have 11-20 numbers too?

He helps to make up the numbers in a team that only wants to make up the numbers in a league. His own lack of ambition reflects the lack of ambition in the club. He's a perfect fit.

Niiiice. Fuck Man U

This Man U team are the epitome of their manager. Snidey, shithouse, spawny, talented and thoroughly unlikable.

Absolute nothing signing. No better off, hasn’t improved anything other than increasing the number of players in the squad. He’s not bad, he’s cheap, he’ll graft but it’s a complete non event. He’s the equivalent of topping up the oil in your maroon KIA c’eed

Took 6 and a half hours to get past Rochdale and Oxford ffs

PSG and Neymar in particular are fucking vile. Utter cunts from front to back and top to bottom.

Heads seemed to go down as soon as the pen was saved. No shame in losing to Sevilla, they're quality.

If you believe the reports the Ashley is stubborn, obnoxious, determined and ruthless where it comes down to business and money. He's an utter cunt to deal with and will do literally anything to get what he wants, a genuinely selfish prick who doesn't give a fuck who he annoys or upsets and is a nightmare to deal with. Now normally having someone like that working against you is a massive hindrance, this time it could just be the case that, if recent reports are true, this utter wanker is actually working in our favour this time. If he's desperate for his remaining £283m then he'll not let this drop and he'll not pull any of his punches. It's like buying the local psychopath a couple of pints a week or so ago then asking him to have a word with the cunt who keeps staring at you and your lass.

Closer to what? I’m not going to be tedious and claim to be ‘in the know’, but I’m relatively confident this takeover will happen. Maybe not this week as others have suggested, but certainly within the next two. So where's the confidence coming from then?

Inter cruising now. They’ve got no idea how to stop Lukaku at all, he’s pulling them all over the place.

The daft thing is that had the PL looked at it and rejected it after a month on the grounds of piracy then I think most fans would have, regrettably, shrugged their shoulders and said fair enough. It's the fact they didn't have the courage to make any kind of decision that's got them into this shitfest. Cowering away for 4 months in silence is what had caused 90% of the anger I think. From their perspective they now don't know what to do - come out and say something and look like they've bowed to the pressure or continue to stay silent on everything and look even weaker for it. It's a pickle.
