Where’s gazza and Maradona?

Is this something to do with the tv deals not making enough money?

Most essays have word limits. Most trolls have decent craic now and again

Players covering their mouth when they speak

without looking surely that would be the case for most major nations with a strong national league (germany, spain, italy etc.)? I doubt there is another nation that will pick 18 of it's players exclusively from the top 6 of it's own domestic league and have aspirations of going far in the competition. We are shit from top to bottom and hope the big teams can prop us up as we have nothing to offer from decent foreign teams and don't trust players outside the top 10. Embarrassing really. Will keep this in case we win it

Hart not going to world cup

Think they might announce a new contract pre game tomorrow?

What's sad is the way he's gone - basically pushed out. Arsenal fans just seem to be clueless of what he has achieved - he refused to cripple the club with debt whilst they paid off that stadium but still managed to build team after team that qualified each year for the champions league. He’s been pushed out as his team hasn’t qualified for the champions league 2 years running now, his team has gone downhill in the last 5 years. Was a rest manager but hasn’t gone with the times so no more

Not really roma had a lot of chances. Was less of one than it could have been

I’m confused now what an offside is. Surely a leg is on

Scored

He looked good today

Hart making a few good saves

It is but its ridiculous as it only is used to correct contentious decisions. And them decisions are the ones that make the biggest impact on games

You can’t really see it when over snow though I can. So it's either your eyes or a shit TV. Or your eyes are mint

You can’t really see it when over snow though

Totally agreed what a joke

Not sexist at all but woman commentators just don’t sound right at all. Maybe it’s just this one ?

I just don't get why the FA have to fuck about with simple rules. Deliberate handball = freekick, and harsher punishment if it denies a clear goal. Not deliberate = carry on with the game. Why change it to 'if the hand is in an unnatural position'?! I'd say someone trying to defend with their hands behind their back is about as unnatural as it gets. The only handball that is an offence is a deliberate one, the media and some fans seem to forget that little fact. The ‘unnatural position’ stuff is supposed to be guidance to help referees determine if it was a deliberate act or not. There are so many ‘handballs’ that everyone fall over themselves about that are just never intentional, the Man U-Liverpool one an example. Clattenburg did an interview a while back that I thought was good. The way he determined what was deliberate handball and what wasn’t was how the ball moved. If you deliberately try to handle the ball, you arm will be stiff and will change the direction of the ball. If it is accidental then the ball will hit your arm and go through it as your arm will be relaxed and therefore without altering the course of the ball much. Sounds great but not really true is it

For me it's any player who'd be considered one of the league's best players regardless of which league they played in. Dunno how many that works out to. What leagues?

Ah right thought it was happening earlier

The new server isn't set up particularly well, nearly everything is just on default settings which was done to get it going. I'll be changing a few things to try and improve performance and get Tapatalk working again etc. There's a scheduled backup tonight, after that I'll be messing about with stuff from Monday evening. Best case scenario it'll just go into maintenance mode a few times. Worst case, hopefully back by our next match. Would it not be best to do this when there’s not football on? Ie not the weekend

I guess it’s more of a problem with the fa semis and England fixtures being at the same ground, shambles

I’m slightly confused by this. It would surely be valuable to do this if it comes off and we stay up?

I actually like Roy Keane keane. Think Henry could be one of if not the worst. Boring craic with nothing points. Always found his cool act boring
