    [Albion] The difficulty of each Premier League team's first ten games

    https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/threads/premier-league-16-18-9-23.403463/page-6#post-10824371 EDIT: Though skimming through that thread, it doesn't seem as if people had much to say about it.

    [Football] “We’d of won if Pedro scored” aka “ We'd have won if Pedro scored”

    For me there is a world of difference between 'if he'd have scored, we (probably) would have won' and 'it's his fault we didn't win!'

    [Albion] The handball penalty

    Didn't see it when I looked earlier. Just went back here https://downloads.theifab.com/downloads/laws-of-the-game-2020-21?l=en and they have a full page image with the handball line on the arm before it lists the exception. Perhaps it works better in book form than scrolling through the PDF...

    [Albion] The handball penalty

    Doesn't help when just last week they were saying they couldn't stop the game when they realised the VAR error because 'them's the rules' yet, for handball they're saying 'yeah, that's the rule, but we want to do this instead...'

    [Albion] No Wonder Why We’re Popular

    Tottenham are also on a rich run of goal scoring form. If we can both keep it up until Boxing day, I imagine that will be our first 0-0 of the season, after the TV company hype up the expectation of goals.

    [Albion] The injustice against Brighton

    I have no idea why it wasn't given. Conspirational - giving them one for last week's mistake. Negative about refereeing - he just got it wrong because his (and/or VAR's) understanding is as outdated as a lot of fans who all believed the thigh thing to be an explanation. Over-thinking -...

    [Albion] The injustice against Brighton

    This is the law for 2023/24 https://downloads.theifab.com/downloads/laws-of-the-game-2023-24?l=en Handling the ball For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. Not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is...

    [Albion] The injustice against Brighton

    Just seen a replay. There's also the issue that Nunez's pass was away from goal and not under the Szoboszlai's control, with Verbruggen right there, so not a denial of a clear goalsoring opportunity, either.

    [Albion] Will the crowd be patient tomorrow?

    In fairness, pleased with our approach. Looked initially like Liverpool were standing off, so Gross dropped back giving another option, and we used Dunk, Igor and Gross. Looks like we have been working on an approach for when they stand off. Or perhaps I'm misreading and Liverpool weren't as...

    [Albion] Calling for a Replay!

    Chanting will be fine. Individuals yelling out comments about wanting a replay every time a decisions goes against us will be irritating very quickly.

    Couple of matches in and I'm wondering if it's a wrestling show or a pizza hut advert.

    [Albion] Anyone feeling a bit flat about tomorrow after the Marseille game?

    Below flat. Given how we've started making a minimum of 5 changes per game and this has, at least coincided with, if. not caused, a significant drop in performance (and results), I'm heading into the game with a lot of concern, both for the performance and the result.

    [Albion] Premier League 7-8/10/23

    Would that not then become a two game ban for being his second suspension of the season?

    [Music] What's the best song you have heard today? Share it here.

    I decided to watch the hunger games movies last week in anticipation of the new movies coming out and in Mockingjay pt1 Katniss sings a song called 'The Hanging Tree' that I am currently obsessed with. This is a performance of it by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra featuring Andrea Lykke ...

    [Albion] Premier League 7-8/10/23

    Clear dive from Bissouma for a second yellow and he's off. Does that become a 2 game ban? One for the snding off for two yellows, one for the 5th yellow?
