I'm not so sure. The more I watch it back, it's clear that De Gea is watching the ball as it's played into the box and not who's around him. I think he probably things he's been deliberately fouled by an Arsenal player and has gone down to milk it in order to get a free-kick. A risky strategy...

Had to be given. If the goalkeeper has been incapacitated by his own player and isn't seriously injured (what was even wrong with De Gea?) then it's absolutely fair game. We had a not dissimilar one go against us a few years ago (see 1:45 below). In that instance our defender had been knocked...

What a bizarre goal at Old Trafford. What on earth was wrong with De Gea?

Apologies for the Daily Mail link, but that’s a narrative that’s definitely being explored and is touched on below. Too early to know, but it appears to be a possibility and is a typical evolutionary path for most pathogens it seems...

That is, believe it or not, quite helpful. Not heard of a dry cleaning spray before; cheers.

Yes, my wife likes cushions and no, that’s not jizz (honest!), chance would be a fine thing.

You sir, are a gent. :thumbsup:

Bollocks, I've posted this in the Covid forum. :ffsparr: Would someone mind moving it for me, please? :blush:

Massive long shot as I say, but NSC rarely fails to come up trumps with an answer to niche problems. In tonight's edition, about a year ago or so we kitted our new house out with some furniture designed by a specialist interiors firm, with the brief that we wanted something which looked modern...

Oddly, I had this very same thought earlier. Extremely transmissible to the point of dominance yet clinically insignificant could be a good thing, a very good thing in fact. The potential flaw in that logic, I pondered, is if it was to then mutate back to something equally more transmissible...

I think one of the saddest things about his death is that it was considered likely that he was not genuinely suicidal and had not really intended to take his own life. One mooted possibility was that he placed a ligature around his neck for dramatic effect expecting his wife to find him, then...

I’ve always said that football is the most important thing in the world that doesn’t actually matter. A brilliant distraction at times from the everyday stresses and frustrations of life, but ultimately meaningless on the big scheme of things. Huge condolences to you - I hope you get that win...

Just happened across this interesting and heartwarming documentary about Wolves striker Raul Jimenez’s injury and recovery, following a serious clash of heads against Arsenal last year. Worth 30 minutes of your time. Easy to forget sometimes that footballers are just normal people with normal...

Uh, Dick…towel rack.

Indeed they were, and not particularly well either it has to be said. They look a different prospect under Dave Challinor, it has to be said. I’d argue they have the best squad in the league on paper, so Rusk can at least take some credit for that, even if he couldn’t get them playing.

Indeed. I’m sure you’re aware of Wrexham’s model, which is fine really as it’s at least self-sustainable in the short-term, but Stockport’s owner is throwing cash at it too (though he is at least a wealthy supporter of the club, not just some chancer). They recently signed Antoni Sarcevic, who...

I think it’s always been more competitive than a lot of people imagine, hence why there are so many comparatively big ex-league clubs stuck down here, but certainly this season is much tougher than any I can remember from our time down here previously. It’s not like there haven’t been clubs...

Looking less likely at the minute. After a surprisingly good start to the season, we’ve now lost 5 out of the last 6 games, with only an unconvincing 1-0 win at home to Southend breaking up that sequence. 7 out of our next 8 are against top 10 sides, including the top 2 and 5th placed Halifax...

I hate non-league football. :down:

She’s had one less UK number one than S Club 7 and only three more than me. She’s clearly incredibly talented, and I don’t dislike her music, but I find the hype somewhat unjustified. That said, I think the fact that she doesn’t appear to seek the limelight, keeps a low profile most of the time...
