100% agree.
Not sure. Maybe trial it where it only kicks in after ET. Still feel it has merit and if abolished you'd soon realise why it was implemented in the first place.
It was implemented to avoid replays before the invention of the shoot-out.
Not supposed to be, UEFA apparently aren't happy about it. There was a La Liga game yesterday played at 18:45 to avoid a clash but the PL, rightly or wrongly, seem to consider early kick offs a non-starter.
That's outrageous like. Sure they can argue it's in the T&Cs but I don't understand how they can get away with putting something so arbitrary in the small print. Why don't they hide away that if a goal doesn't hit the net, it doesn't count? Or if a corner is taken short, it doesn't count? Those make as much sense. You shouldn't have to go reading the small print for something so black and white.
That means fuck all tbh considering how antichrist they are at scoring goals. Their fans were saying the same last season.
Was just a point in relation to Crumpy's ridiculous assertion.
We're only on 3 less than Burnley scored in total too fwiw.
CL group games will now be split across 6pm and 8pm like the EL. And no highlights on ITV anymore.
Bit surprised by the renewal given that UEFA were supposedly concerned that the viewing figures are terrible.
Atleti confirm serve head trauma on Twitter:
@Torres suffers a traumatic brain injury. He was transferred to the hospital for testing. He will spend the night under observation.
English language account has translated it as just a 'head injury'.
