Colos Short and Curlies

Stick to Gordon through the middle and Elanga on the right now to get some consistency There's another 5-6 goals to come from Barnes this season, starting on Saturday

City for me. More chance of winning the FA Cup so that should be priority. Currently we have 12 games left (9 league, 1 FA Cup and 2 CL). Could potentially rise to 20 if we get to both finals. Need to go help for leather in all 12 imo and then deal with the extra fixtures as Miley, Tino, Bruno and Schar come back.

2 league goals this season Liverpool and ManU Got to hit the hat trick against the Mackems

Glad I'm not the only one, thought he was more than decent tonight

You could have just put Scouse Bastard instead

Neither can I, stream went down just before the goal

Could be linking up in the Toon next season

I'd honestly keep Vlach and peddle Pope

Should have kept the Greek

Just imagine that run of games though. Then Madrid on the final?

I'd take Gordon off pens for this one

You can understand Howe putting him on ahead of Neave tonight but he's let his manager down big style with that lack of effort.

Thought Burn was much worse when on the right side tonight. Definitely goes to show the difference for a left footer on particular playing wrong side. If he's fit then it's Thiaw and Botman for me for the rest of the season.

Have we switched Burn and Botman over this half?

On that when did the head injury exception to the 30 seconds get removed?

It doesn't. It mentions being fouled before attempting to play the ball, and in this case the foul being the offence. Bit you can't foul when the play is dead so from a free kick the push cannot be penalised as a foul. If it was a cross from open play then Burn could not have been offside as it would be a free kick to Isis, but there's nothing to say if the ref could allow play to continue from the push without the offside being called

I'm bookmarking the 22nd march. Could well be the weekend when West Ham overtake them looking at the fixture lists

Wissa to Saudi, even if just to break even. Osula to Germany. That would give more headroom than anything we could get for Wolt, before you even start thinking about respective abilities and fit

Pretty sure everyone would have taken 3 wins from the 4 away games. Now the run up to Arsenal gives us 7 league games that all winnable, if not easy and an on paper gimme in the champs league. Progress through one of the CL and FA cup would be nice.

The ref should have brought the free kick back like they do for a corner

Pope can and has saved shots like the first goal before, but when they are saved they are saves you don't expect your keeper to save. The top tier keepers probably save it once they get a hand to it, but it's not really a rick on Pope's side that it did go in

There's nothing in the offside law, the bit in their just puts a foul ahead of the offside if a player is offside but fouled before they play the ball. You would go to whatever law says that a foul before a corner is taken is not a penalty but rather a whistle, little chat then retake the corner. So it's either a goal/penalty for the push or we retake the free kick. That's my arm chair interpretation, but I'm sure the boys in Stockley Park know better than me just reading the fucking rule book

The wording isn't quite that, but it does say that a foul should be blown before the offside is given if the foul occurs before the player makes an attempt to play the ball. So yeah goal should have stood I also did not know that you can't be offside from a goal kick

Luckily none of that City forward line have a history of filling their boots against us

We all know that other than Ramsdale coming in for Pope it will be a full strength 11 on Tuesday with the usual 60 minute subs
