  1. Red IMO. Ref clearly changes his mind based on the reaction of the player though
  2. I’m just sayin’, I don’t wanna hear any gripes about all the foreign-born players who suit up for the U.S. if this kid chooses to play for England https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_England_international_footballers_born_outside_England Didn’t know Terry Butcher was born in Singapore. Tucked that safely in me top pocket ready to be retrieved and recited during the next debate about taking are country back. Was just reading his wiki. He was Scotland assistant manager for a while and in 2008 they had a friendly against a Maradona managed Argentina. In the build up, Butcher had a massive go at Maradona about the hand of God calling him a cheat. After the game, Maradona was asked about Butcher's comments and he just replied "Who is Butcher?"
  3. On this Bailey thing, every report I've read says that two of his grandparents hold British passports rather than saying they were actually born in Britain. I'm not sure if it is the case but his grandparents would have to actually have been born in Britain for him to be able to play for England
  4. Pity Atleti got knocked out of the CL. Watched them earlier and they were excellent
  5. Sissoko making you all look like fools there
  6. Its the Championship, I'd have been pretty surprised if he wasn't doing well
  7. Ah right why not include though, if everything else it seems strange to leave it out. I suppose offside is a fact, it is or isn't. Still a long way to go with this like. Clear and obvious only is shit though. I don't really mind if VAR or traditional refereeing is used going forward but if VAR is to be used then just get the decisions right, clear and obvious or not. The offside law needs to be looked at though as linesmen don't have a chance with ones that tight
  8. That's well grim robbing players from Jamaica I guess we did the same with McCarthy and McGeady from another minnow nation
  9. Not really sure about this "clear and obvious error" thing mind. If they are going to use VAR then get the decisions exactly right or just go back to normal refs
  10. Haven't watched him/them much but thought Douglas Costa was canny against Spurs Don't really agree, thought he started very well for ten minutes and had moments he looked bright, however he kept having trouble keeping possession in his own half. Was at the game and he was the most criticized player by the Juve fans. Made a lot of wrong decisions imo. People were asking for him to be subbed off early. Him, Allegri and De Sciglio got endless amounts of abuse by the fans in the 2nd half. Fair enough, thought he was their most dangerous player on the ball by a mile mind even if he did lose it a bit

  12. Boaz Myhill reminding everyone that he exists

    He hasn't really got a fair crack of the whip in the championship yet IMO. Wasn't a guaranteed starter at Barnsley and was played on the wing for Bolton
  14. Atletico and Napoli have to be favorites, but other then them two I think Arsenal could beat most of the other clubs in the competition tbh. Both are also likely to sack it off while you would think Arsenal will be playing their best 11 from the next round on

    Adam Armstrong

    On Armstrong, I think he's talented from what I've seen but with less 442 being played these days, short strikers have to be unbelievable to make it or they'll get shunted out to the wing. Should have a good career in League 1/Championship even if he doesn't make it in the PL

    Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Danny Drinkwater were all on the bench in that mad playoff game against Watford wasn't it Knockaert who missed the penalty and Deeney blasted in the winner? Aye, think Knockaert had dived to win the penalty as well

  18. People that tag a player or reply directly to them having a go at them for their performances are dickheads
