Noticed that too - VI is saying it's part of their fitness regime; dropping off Feb-early March and then picking up for the last 2 months. Hope they hit near full tilt tonight.

Don't understand the big deal. I thought you were winning as well. You're losing.

Seriously man, this door banging has got out of control. What's going on? Are players not allowed to knock anymore?

That France away one is lush.

Like your arguments But seriously, stop typing.

Thought this said "Leon Best gets put down" for a second, which would be completely undeserved, IMO.

Where are Blackpool in the league?

Class, Crumpy has a friend.

The single "Boom!" at the end with Harper's elbow got me.

Why the hell did Ormerod take a touch?

YTNALEP!

Give over man, I bet* you love Dowd secretly. *which probably means you don't. Boom boom.

What a trio.

The ridiculous level of protection given to goalkeepers, and related to this, the protection given to defenders when they're in a bad situation. I'm talking about the times where they've probably let the ball run too far and now they're facing their own goal - the attacker comes to pressurise them, barely any contact, defender goes down, free kick. In fact what is equally annoying is when the striker comes over and barges the defender over clearly illegally - letting the defender get out of a tricky situation for free. Both situations annoy me.

Still waiting for 4 players to come back from injury myself Aye, I stuck RVP and Walcott in a couple of weeks ago. Did alright for one game then both got injured. Decided to put Nani back in before the weekend, he promptly sets up a Liverpool goal and gets his leg obliterated. Annoying.

Hope you twat them.

Yes! For the first time in about 2 weeks, something's actually gone right for my FF team.

It's all opinion.......was it a trip/push/strike? Or was it incidental contact? It's all opinion. That's the challenge that all new referees face. They takes the class, and then sits the exam. The exam question says "the red defender trips the blue attacker inside the penalty area. What the correct restart?" So for the new referee they have been given important information that is undeniable for the exam. A trip took place, and the position of the trip was inside the penalty area. So it's simple to decide that the correct re-start is a penalty kick to blue. In the real world of the game....the referee must first decide if indeed a trip took place. Was it a trip? Was it incidental contact? Was it a dive? Then they must determine where it took place....if it was right on the edge of the area, did contact initiate outside of the area and then continue inside? Did contact initiated outside and then the player fell inside? Was it all inside the area. All of this is for the referee to decide.....in their opinion.....exactly what happened. It's all opinion. Fair enough perspective. It's also worth noting how little time they have to make a decision. Spilt-second a lot of the time.

I think it's called 'Unnecessary Epic Music' by 'Sky Sports'.

Deserved win.

Gignac. :lol:

Goallllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Frau!

Fucking Italians, man.

I saw that on Eurosport but Flashscores has it down as Garcia. Are most people watching the French football on a stream? bet365.com

The commentator with some gushing remarks about Diawara. "He's a lovely, young man," says Mr bet365 man.
