Figures 1-0 Football

Needed another goal in the games at Huddersfield and Brentford for £1,986 from a quid, ouch.

To be fair, I’d probably have eaten my phone if I had just won a million quid.

28,543 today, apparently.

The only relevant result really was the Stoke one. Huddersfield-Palace was fine, as at least one of the teams below us was going to drop points. A draw would have been ideal, but that’s not bad. Can pretty much tick WBA and Stoke as down now really - Stoke’s next two are Arsenal and Spurs

This is beautiful.

Birmingham will be the team that survives like. Nah they won’t, they look done for, they have even done the whole managerial changes as well. If Sunderland don’t pull off one of their great escapes then it will be as it is down there.

Is Lascelles even that bad on the ball? Looked fairly comfortable this season.

It is of course possible that he is over the limit from the night before, but still - should he be getting sozzled the night before a match? Especially after his drunken outburst earlier in the season

The bloke clearly has a problem like.

Soccer Saturday: All players’ fault, poor old Pards let down.

Birmingham will be the team that survives like. Monk took over what, 2 games ago? And thrown straight into 2 tough games where they were actually fairly competitive. Their next 4 are all easily winnable, easiest run of fixtures left, new manager, most positive morale amongst the 4 teams.

Birmingham will be the team that survives like.

Oh god Didn’t know he’d been on the pop too.

Lovely 2nd goal for Full Ham.

Been ruled out of playing today, obviously.

A couple of seasons ago I recall an already relegated side tonking one of the best teams in the country 5-1. 55% sounds about right. That was totally different as Tottenham were coming to us on a massive downer having lost the league, we were on a very bizarre high trying to keep our manager in post. According to the rest of his %’s, we’ll be going into that game needing some sort of result, WBA are in crisis and would be relegated by that stage. 55% is absolute nonsense like No idea why we’re discussing this in so much detail though.

Need to win this.

Video assistant referees will be used at the World Cup for the first time after Fifa formally approved the technology for this year's tournament. VAR has been trialled in some domestic English cup games this season, and has been used in Germany and Italy. "We need to live with the times," said Fifa president Gianni Infantino. "We wanted to give the referees tools so they can make better decisions, and in the World Cup some very important decisions are made." He added: "It's not possible that in 2018 everyone in their living room knows a few seconds after the play whether a referee has made a mistake and the referee doesn't." VAR was first used at the Club World Cup in December 2016, and trialled in the 2017 Confederations Cup. The system was described as "comical" and "embarrassing" after Tottenham's 6-1 FA Cup win over Rochdale in late February, when a goal was disallowed and a converted penalty overturned. The Premier League is not expected to introduce VAR next season, and Uefa has already said it will not be used in the 2018-19 Champions League. Spain's La Liga and France's Ligue 1 are to introduce it from next season, while the Bundesliga will decide on 22 March. "I was sceptical at first, but without trying you cannot know what it's worth," Infantino added. "Without VAR, a referee can make one important mistake every three matches. With VAR, the figures we have seen from the trials that have been held show that a big mistake is made once every 19 matches." The world governing body's formal announcement comes after the International Football Association Board (Ifab) "unanimously approved" the introduction of VAR on a permanent basis earlier this month. Ifab is made up of Fifa and the Football Associations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each FA has one vote to Fifa's four, with six votes required for a change in the laws. The body made the decision to approve the technology following the results of independent analysis conducted by Belgian university KU Leuven.

A 55% chance of beating WBA just makes that whole thing a load of shite.

What is wrong with some people?

Didn’t realise he was such an arsehole like Toney, not Liam.

He hasn’t been picked because there hasn’t been a media meltdown about how fantastic he is. Southgate is another weak manager who has based his selection based on the dribblings of journalists.

Looks like we’re going to try and play like Stam’s Reading last year and pass the ball sideways in our own half all match and claim that we’re a really good footballing side. Lewis Cook and Jake Livermore are total nothing players like, at least Shelvey would bring in the potential to do something outstanding. The CM choices available are absolutely appalling though, none of them are good enough really.

An U8 needs to be accompanied by an adult - giving away an U8 ticket also sells at least one adult ticket too. Otherwise the likeliness is that neither the U8 or adult would buy one. Childrens tickets in L1 are relatively cheap anyway, by offering this grand gesture they’ll actually make more money by selling more adult tickets. Plus the enhanced food and drink sales across the season.
