not 100% mate but I think they either refined or changed the rule. IF the foul continues into the area, I "think" it's considered a penalty. maybe one of the refs on here can confirm but something sticks into my mind that they amended it so that defenders didn't foul outside the box and c...

Yes, sure, but only a start. That doesn't actually do anything in the 'holding to account' stakes, it appears. Disagree. The fact that 8,000 or 12,000 or whatever it was marched along the Greenway made a significant start. Unfortunately the majority may have been razzle dazzled again and didn't fol...

However "wealthy" he is, he always seems extremely thin-skinned.

People should aim their anger and criticism at the correct target - that would be a start.

Any other method?

March. Embarrass him.

... The counter attacking element of our game on Thursday was totally ineffective, in large part due to Paqueta's ineffectiveness and the lopsided nature of our wide players which was obviously not helped by Bowen's absence. Yes, those plus the Kudus miss. Compare that effort with Foden's goal the ...

It's been a pattern for many years over several managers, but some still can't see it, or refuse to.

Unfortunately too many are prepared to overlook it in favour of rounding on the manager time and time again. All the managers, not just Moyes...

Jeez - not this ****ing drivel about possession again. Possession % is not the cause, it's the effect.

Still thinking...

I don't think anyone would suggest that. However, the Duff Duchess is clearly useless and needs to be packed off so that someone competent can build the club's commercial side, which is where increased financial clout will mainly come from..

To all Wastham fans, welcome to Leverkusen (future German champion)! I have read in several forums that there have been requests for restaurants. And indeed it is difficult to find restaurants near the Bay Arena (except MC Donald). I wanted to give you two tips that are about a 5-minute walk from t...

Keown is a weird remnant of a cut-off branch of humanity - some sort of homo habilis - he's not related to the rest of us.

I am not disputing the position in the table. That is because we are a very effective attacking team when we are able to have enough control of the game to allow our counter attacking style to work, and when we commit to it in terms of speed, numbers and being less cautious We are pretty woeful at ...

Yes of course But the fact that it happens so often when we are winning suggests it isn't proving effective and we need to be better and nullifying the swing in momentum that occurs. we can't just accept that it has to be that way, IMHO their penalty we a result of about 15 minutes of concerted pre...

but once we went 3-1 we retreated into a shell (way before the penalty). We stopped looking for opportunities for quick breaks in numbers and instead were happy to defend deep and protect what we had reather than looking for more goals. Apologies for only picking this out, but surely that is just t...

Yeah, my opinion. That Chelsea side was stocked with power, pace and athleticism. I didn't find them that pleasing to watch for a lot of the time in all honesty but they did bully teams into submission. I just think there's a separation to be had. I don't like watching us, said that a few times, bu...
