Any chance of our game v Chelsea moving?

I think the last page or two of this thread is a good example of why refs and law makers are somewhat on a hiding to nothing. The range of what people think football is or should be. The Idea that kicking an opponent should be allowed because it's a contact sport and it's a consequence of 22 men...

It is amusing. But the fact it has been made a thing now; trending on social media, being repeated all throughout the football community this evenin, it seems entirely possible it'll become a galvanising thing, and we immediately see a vastly improved Chelsea for the rest of the season. I would...

Match abandoned in the 85th minute after both teams reduced to 6 men as a result of all the red cards. We get drawn the winner of the game, but it is later decided that neither will be allowed to continue and we get a bye. Not sure I've heard it called that before.

Liverpool number 3 in an offside position stops the chelsea player tracking back to potentially get the ball ahead of VVD. Obviously wanting liverpool to win that isn't a good decision, but it is correct.

Decent show. No surprising in terms of results and where the title matches are going, but am a little surprised they look to be heading toward Logan Paul/Randy Orton and AJ Styles/LA Knight for Mania.

It's amusing how they find the idea of Zaha as 'world class' to be so laughable.

Going for a Brighton 2-4 Everton

Anyone watching Elimination Chamber this morning? Some incredible shots of the sun setting through the city skyline over the lip of the arena.

I usually feel pessimistic, to the point that I worry when I have good feelings, but, I am particularly pessimistic about today.

And hope the officials don't disallow a perfectly legitimate goal.

For the record: I don't currently believe this to be a suitable approach.

I think officials can muddy the water, too. Some of them, rather than waving away claims will instead point to the ball, and VAR appears to look at replays frame by frame looking to see if there is contact with the ball (or if there is contact with an opponent as if that alone is the defining...

20th December 2023 https://www.skysports.com/football/transfer-paper-talk/12709/13034481/newcastle-director-dan-ashworth-likely-to-join-manchester-united-in-sir-jim-ratcliffes-shake-up-paper-talk It's not a secret or surprise he was going to go after Ashworth.

Matthew Vaughn announced he was working on a second movie which would be a prequel 'based on the first book in the [in-movie] book series' it was a tease for that. Henry Cavil and Sam Rockwell have not yet commited to the film and have said it will depend on audience reaction. So it seems that...

Because Paddy's seen what's like now and doesn't want it anymore. (or more likely because the palace fans wouldn't like it because it's not a clean enough break from Hodgson of late)

I can easily see a 'do it for Roy' victory for Palace. Hope I'm wrong. 🤞

Nope. Some are cynical attempts to stop a counter attack with no intent or possibility of winning a ball. Some of rash acts of someone seeking vengeance for a perceived or actual injustice. Some are people being unable to move out of the way when an opponent runs back and forth across their...

In the league, of course, but yes. Just had a quick look here https://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=381&team2_id=2328&teamTabs=h2h and January 2005 is the last time we won away v Sheff Utd. Though, we've only played them away 3 other times in the leagues since then (one draw), so...

For me the current weakness with Ferguson is he doesn't chase things the way Welbeck and Pedro do, he isn't great at pressing and putting pressure on the defenders with the ball. In recent games when he has come on for either of them and gone up top with the other moving out wide, we have lost...
