Delighted for Arsenal and Wenger. I don't see how you can argue that Ramsey wasn't active or involved in play. He's in the middle of the box, right where the ball's going and he makes a move for it. Ought to have been offside. I don't really care about the 'handball'. It's not even close to delibera...
The laws of the game should be the same at every level. When there is camera technology at every park on a Sunday morning, then I'm all in favour. Camera technology doesn't change the laws of the game, it adds a dimension to enforcing those rules. Presumably you're against 4th officials and communi...
Anyone up for breaking into the stadium and rearranging the bags to spell Tinpot ? That'll be a challenge, have you ever tried rearranging the letters in ROYALS to read TINPOT? Wish Reading were still known as the Biscuitmen though, much more impressive and could "bend" round the corners ...
Huddersfield seriously threatened to go up automatically for a while. We did not. And their end of season record owes a fair bit to the weakened line-ups they fielded in the final games. I think the teams are evenly matched, but they offer more of an attacking threat than we do. However, we are far...
Highlights what a loss Sidwell was. Doesn't highlight the difference complacency setting in can be. It does show how important good scouting and transfers are. We simply didn't make the transition to PL quality signings and relied on an aging team that had lost a key cog. Fae, Halford, Duberry, Ros...
I think our poor defensive record and poor goal difference gets skewed by the odd away thrashings we've had. Otherwise we're a fairly consistent side. What I think would be more interesting as a Stat, which he probably didn't do as not easy to get the stats, is is there any correlation between amou...
They could write a dissertation and upload a three hour film and there'd still be people complaining about what they said, what they hadn't said and the week after that there was radio silence. I mean what is there to say? They want us to play in the PL. They think we're a good investment. That's it.
In the build-up to Wembley 2011, I had totally convinced myself I wasn't that fussed about winning as I wasn't all that taken with the whole Premier League experience, the result being that I wouldn't be all that disappointed if we lost as it was all new to Swansea following their gradual and "...
Sadly, a lot of our younger monkey-see-monkey-do bellends will have seen it and decided they should copy,... so if we win I think there's a pretty decent chance we'll follow suit in classless imitation.
Would be funny if Ian Royal offers someone a lift and therefore makes his poll option actually valid Don't have a car, sorry. And I'm catching the Cambridge -> Kings Cross and then Circle to Baker St, Bakerloo to Marylebone Chiltern Railway to Wembley Stadium Less of a ballache to get the Metropoli...
I kind of think the opposite - it needs to be harsh enough that you don't risk it. Yeah, if you penalise the obvious ones and leave the dubious ones, it's essentially just creating a system of encouraging players to get better at disguising diving. Whereas if you shrug and accept sometimes you'll g...
