Yes, because presumably what should happen is that the game is called back for the original offside. But that isn't what seems to happen. Too much water under the bridge for the lino to flag it seems?

What do you see as the difference between the two words for these purposes?

I don't buy this, he's not a goalscorer thing. True, his record is currently poor. But surely the club have seen evidence that they think it's going to improve dramatically. You can't just buy a forward for £40m, play in centrally in behind the main striker, then accept that he won't really...

Or what about .... Any player who requires any treatment as demonstrated by being on the ground, is required to get on a stretcher (of which there are plenty around and neutral stretcher bearers who the ref immediately calls on). If the player is not able or willing to go on the stretcher...

My proposal is to add the following rule. Any act by any player, which the referee considers to be timewasting, will result in the referee giving a signal. (both arms up or something). This signal means that twice the amount of time that is wasted is added to the length of the match

The rule should be abolished I get the point of it. But linos are oh so predictably playing it so ridiculously safe that it's creating these wierd phantom passages of play. Kind of like Schrodingers football. There is some football, but also there isn't. Everyone knows its going to be...

They could, but I don't think they do

You've got to try to forget the fee we paid. I think he'll go on a few nice runs, I think he'll continue to be hard to knock off the ball. But I question what will his output be? Will he get goals and assists?

The speed is fine. They are 15 stone centre backs. The communication is fine. They are both very good defenders and have a great partnership The issue is the strategy. Defending the half way line is contributing heavily to us getting 70% possession and 20 shots every game. Yes we're...

It is nonsense. If the offside is tight. Fine I have no problem, flag later. But that isn't what is happening. You have these weird passages of play, like they exist on a paralel universe or something, where we're having to defend, because they're professional footballers and can't let...

Oh right. OK

That can't be right Wilkins definitely got a couple. Pocognoli once hit a belter. Jimmy Case was very good at them

Feels like it might have been ours, it's not happened for so long

This is the most likely scenario. Georginio will get further chances to prove he can do a job in behind Welbeck Huge learn for the manager this. Using all his sub windows meant we were 10 v 10. I'd like to see him be more decisive earlier. Nuno schooled him today

I'd say it's a very good sign for Chelsea

Down with 42 points would be a sickener you're right

I mean, some of the young Japanese ladies are quite striking, but definitely need more to get me going these days

Have the balls to say something to someone's face if you feel strongly

I don't the issue is that our centre backs aren't fast enough. A centre back is never going to be as quick as a nippy striker. Conceding goals on the counter is priced into our playing style. We need enough goals from the constant regaining of possession, which the high line gives us, to make...

Absolutely ready to be a pl midfielder. I'd start those two there every week until one of the new boys gets the fitness and form to replace them
