Daft questions (football edition)

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Do you remember when we sent Krul up for a corner, then took it short and failed to get the cross in?

[Nobody]

I'm actually a fan of the short corner, pass back to the corner taker to then cross it in. Usually in a much better position for the cross compared to out by the corner flag.

I thought that was the only reason teams took short corners. The extra few yards helps.

Spurs at home 12/13 the prime example of how great a short corner can be.

 

Shame we wont be seeing that in a while.

I like them. If done properly, they're more difficult to defend against. It's just when you get two panicky dafties executing an spontaneous and ill-thought out short one that it becomes infuriating.

Short corners.

 

I've never got this fully. You have the chance of a free cross into the area. Why do so many teams give up this chance? I see SO many teams simply pass it short, run about a bit and either lose the ball or pass it back to the half way line. Top teams even do it. It's the equivalent of a winger getting into a good position behind the defence ready to cross then turning round and passing it back to the centre backs. I DON'T GET IT it's infuriating and it's f***ing stupid.

 

This, of course, doesn't apply to teams who obviously have a successful, planned short corner routine.

That numbers game book said that it would be more beneficial to always take your corners short as you concede as many goals from the other team countering after the corner as you do yourself from the corner or something along those lines

 

fuck off pardew

Which is 90% of the time.

Pardew's corners are the exact opposite of short you fucking idiot

[Froggy]

Wew

[Ryan_Taylor]

Brutal

[Mike]

He did call him Pardew, tbf. Feel like this is break even.

[Froggy]

Taylor is a little shit. Deserved.

[Guest neesy111]

Taylor needs a good slap tbh.

[triggs]

Just received a warning for that post. Bit harsh I think. I went to the bother of replying to him and then he calls me Pardew for no reason whatsoever. I don't see how that isn't being a fucking idiot

[Beren]

"He calls me Pardew"

[Mike]

Anyone would flip if they got called Pardew.

[Interpolic]

"He calls me Pardew"

 

:lol:

Was more about the worry of conceding from an attacking position. If that ain't doin' a Pardy then I don't know what is.

[TaylorJ_01]

That insult made me cry so you deserve that warning.

But it wasn't an opinion mate it is fact based on that numbers game book

some funny stuff, but i do have a question      at 2:19 and following, what's the foul?  fans are calling for a red card... is it just mean? 

[Deuce]

"He calls me Pardew"

 

:lol:

 

[henke]

Are premiership attendances falling? Over the last year / two years.

 

Just noticed the empty seats at villa park, there's usually a few thousand empty seats at SJP. Even the champions can't fill their ground.

Watching last night's MOTD, how come Leicester and Burnley both have their kits made by Puma but they're not the skintight ones they give to us and Arsenal?
