Could any sponsorship deals not be performance related ?

So it's easier to make poor decisions they know will be poured over from many angles for ages ? Don't think so.

Your point ?

I've always seen attacking and defending as part of the same thing and the idea of scoring being "harder" than other aspects of the game is a bit silly as it's all the same thing, getting the ball to go where you want. Some goals are "easier" than others to score, some that easy they're miss hit and fluked.

Honestly couldn't give a fuck

Is scoring harder than reading a forward to stop him, harder than spotting a pass that cuts out 3 players, harder than positioning yourself to help your team advance whilst also being in a position to cover should your team lose the ball, harder than making a great save. Harder ? How do you quantify harder ?

SHOCK !

Is that an age thing. I've got mates who still hate Leeds because of the 70s.

For me it was doing the right thing well. Passing was massively underrated because it wasn't spectacular. The most beautiful thing for me in football is that one touch that controls the ball and puts it in the right place wrong footing the opposition for the next move. It sounds so dull but it's what separates the great from the good.

That's interesting because the defenders win vastly more of the battles. Forwards get the glory though and it's a media game.

The rivalry was there because they were the top team and we were challenging them. Not because they were Man Utd.

Nope. I think they are out of reach. If you were in Arsenal's position and they were in yours then yeah.

Talented at what ?

Trippier became a different beast for being with Simeone. Same could go for Howe (I know he didn't just go there).

Yup, Man Utd and Liverpool for many reasons, but now you're just a team in 3rd who we can overtake. You can't bully us no more, you're not a scalp, you're opposition, no more, no less. Anymore than that is down to your fans behaviour.

That says much about you.

Not now. It did.

Hope they don't think we see this as a very important game because it's them. It would have the same importance if it was Spurs or Chelsea in the relative positions we are in.

Rarely has a thumbs down "you don't like this" been more required.

What ? (Guess it's a whoosh). I'm sure someone on here came up with that same scenario in all seriousness not long after the incident.

Well, no, cos Dennis wasn't in an offside position when the Forest player played it. (Or at least not from any of the views available on the highlights)

"Yeah there's contact but its not violent"

I'd like to see that at least trialled at a decent level. However it wouldn't have made a difference to the other nights debacle.

Needs Ivan Toney's legal team.

Yeah we got into the Champs league with the likes of Andy Griffin and Andy O'brien. Likeable sorts but it doesn't mean they were really good. Edit.....what is your 2nd paragraph about ?
