You mean Dom ?

It may not be "funny", it may be that they take more notice of a player after we're linked, watch games specially etc. I know I do.

That's where stats can be misleading, if he sets up 59 nailed on chances and they aren't taken..... that's zero goal contributions. It's a mix of data and watching him (for us) and a whole other world within the game where the data is so finely tuned and the social networks provide so much other info.

Yeah and to decide between those two head to head seems a more natural way of doing it to me.

You wouldn't have if they were the rules. You'd have been more foaming had we finished level on points with Spurs but if they had a better GD.

Don't see many proper old style diving headers like that anymore.

I get your point but don't like it. Seems silly you could finish below a team and on level points and maybe by 1 goal to a team you've walloped home and away

But should you finish lower than a team you've beat during the season ? You could finish below but on the same points as a team youve beat home and away, that's not better.

Yes it does. And how can 1 team be level on points ? Do you mean more than 2 ? Look under competition format, tie breakers rules. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Liga

Just found at that in La Liga, if two teams finish level on points then it's decided on aggregate scores in their head to head games (away goals not counting double) before goal difference. That makes more sense to me. I'd just been looking at how Bilbao were doing and wondered why Osasuna were above them.

I'd guess it's watching him several times. Definitely talented but I'm not sure he does (or rather can do) the other stuff we require....... but if those that make those decisions want it I'm more than happy to go along with it

Yip. The only game we got something undeserved was Brighton down there. Can think of a few draws we should've won.

Didn't Shepherd try to pass off Woodgate (bought in the winter window) as a signing for the Champs league ?

Let me know when we demand and get our own private interview with the next prospective Permier league chief and press for rule changes part way through a season because another club threatens our position. Don't get me started on their rumoured history re Littlewoods pools money.

I didn't think Frate was opening until today so breaking and entering ?

Look at footballs history, it's totally in the spirit of it. The numbers are bigger but it's always been about who had the most money.

I know. I kind of said it as a joke.

Sunderland were, from the games I saw on the box, the best footballing team in that division last season but got bullied in both boxes and like Luton showed, other teams knew they could do that.

He's young and good coaching may help that. Don't know what the price is but could be worth it for a Palace or Bournemouth

Wouldn't be my choice, don't see ay improvement on Longstaff but if Howe, Nickson and Ashworth are all in then I'll let them do it.

The season finished on Monday.

Especially about his mam.

When he first broke in he looked good but that fell away pretty quickly after 4 or 5 games. He had this alarming thing for playing passes a couple of yards short loads of times.

He was behind Sancho so no.

But if their buyout hoes through wouldn't that wipe out their debt Chelsea style ?
