I reckon the explanation is that the armband wasn't fitting properly. Lewis is a lot bigger than Pascal and maybe it was loose and couldn't be tightened. So he asked Igor to wear it. :shrug:
That game last night was the first time Fati really looked a cut above everyone else on the pitch.
When he burst through the middle for the first i just knew he was going to score way before he actually shot. Trying to think of the last player we had who you could say that about. Knockaert in...
I'd love to see us go strong, I'd love to see Fati start for once. He could put Sheffield away in the first half and make it an easy afternoon for us. They will battle like anything and defend what they have, so let's not help them by playing a lot of inexperienced kids.
Igor came on at half time, I noticed about 10 minutes into the second half that he had the captains armband, which was obviously strange as you would assume Gross would have taken it, but I assumed that Roberto gave it him in the changing room - it would be even stranger if Pascal had it and...
I thought Igor was brilliant, to have lost our captain and best defender at half time was a real worry and then for him to come on, take the armband and play so well, calm and dominant, was a joy to watch.
Kind of, that's my English home but living in Indonesia at the moment. Great place to live, you won't regret it. Our place is in Porkellis between Helston and Falmouth, where are you?
I wonder if Sunak can see the glaring irony when he said there was a risk of "those who seek to divide society using this weekend as a platform to do so".
That is 10 games worth of Spursy all saved up for one match though, was wondering where it had gone. Have to laugh, its very hard to overcome a narrative... :)
Yeah, i was thinking the same, how do they know where ground level is on a 2d frame? Feels like the foreshortening problem they have in cricket when checking catches.
And like that sport they surely need some kind of 'umpires call' built in for uncertainty in the process.
We're not what we were last year, that much seems clear. The loss of Caicedo and Macallister, the injuries to March, Enciso and Estupinan, the passing of time with Lallana. But beyond all that, we still strive to be better, we're rebuilding, retooling with that same goal in sight. There is...
Do you all remember when the offside law was changed, some time in the 90's I reckon, to say that attackers who were level with the last defender were onside? Previously level meant offside. The idea was to give the benefit of the doubt to the attackers and allow more exciting football.
In this...
Really interesting question. No-one turns down the ManU job, but they're such a basket case right now, he can do ao much better.
So i imagine he's hoping he isn't offered it
