[Albion] Premier League 21-24/12/23

[pasty]

Luton 1-0 Saudi FC

 

[Austrian Gull]

Ref's having a nightmare at Forest.

You can imagine how Birtles is coping on co-comms

We didn’t pay a transfer fee for Lallana

My point was about the 'huge contract' Kudus is on at £90k per week, that is reportedly what Lallana is on. This would have all been against a back drop of netting £200m+ in player sales within 18months.

I know there are other factors at play. I'm just trying to say that it's a shame we couldn't go that little further to get him before West Ham entered the race.

Ross Barkley absolutely sensational. Great signing Luton. Would have been phenomenal for us.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Luton could easily be 3-0 up

 

[Reddleman]

Feels like the top 5 are really pulling away now and the battle for 6th is between four teams, none of whom are in good form. Irritating we couldn’t have won some of those home games against weaker teams as we’d be ahead of the pack.

 

[Weststander]

We were clearly in for him though and had an offer accepted at £25M+ right so must have been pretty confident. Shame we couldn’t get it done but suspect we were ever only a pawn for a bigger move

I thought that happened too, Kudus/agent then chased the dollar.

I suspect he’ll move on asap.

If they win today - they have a match v Sheffield Utd next week. They could start catching up with Palace......

 

[Bodian]

Man City out of the CL places as it stands. When was the last time that happened?

 

[Hendrax]

decent day for us if this stays the same.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Ref is trying hard for smug.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Romero has limped off for Spurs and is sitting on the sideline with ice on his hamstring.

Fingers crossed for the 28th.

Offside? Good for Luton and usbut I really can't see how they managed to draw those lines to make him offside. They seem to have ignored the defender's shoulder.

Exactly what I thought - looked onside to me. The lines made it look like it wasn't even particularly close - there was quite a gap between them.

 

[Hometownglory]

Bournemouth are on fire and currently level on points with Chels and 5 behind us with a game in hand.

I heard from a Chelsea STH that he was a lazy, dickhead in training and, hence, was moved on. It seems he has matured and is playing tohis potential now.

Looks offside to me. It shouldn't be really but under the current laws it is.

 

[Stat Brother]

Obviously I want nothing more than to watch Smug lose at Luton - but I'll not watch so as not to jinx it.

 

[maltaseagull]

Ha ha ha. Take that you

I think his left hand is ahead of the last defender. Not sure what advantage that gives him though.
I think that the law needs changing to the player's leading foot being in front.

I don't think hands count. Armpits do though and Isak looks slightly (an inch or 2) ahead of number 29 to me.
