Maybe, like most winners, he's a bad loser. Maybe the pressures of management are different enough to make him snap. Maybe the referees are so much worse now than when he was playing that in his mind the ref must be a cheat, lest he be utterly incompetent. Maybe the referee is a cheat. FWIW, I think...

The trouble Luton have is that all of their opponents will be expecting to win and will see them as an easy way to climb up a few million quid. e.g Everton could find a way to say they actually played well enough to finish above Chelsea or some ********, and West Ham won't want to lose at home to th...

Would you swap fixtures with forest? I think we'd all swap fixtures with Luton! Assuming they get 3 points from Sheffield United and lose the other two, we'd need to get 4 points from Man Utd, Newcastle and Spurs to ensure a last day win keeps us up. Sounds doable, but would you prefer the Man City ...

It's a long term thing - the vaccination process will take years.

A vaccine isn't a cure, it's a preventative measure. You vaccinate children so as to limit or eliminate the chance of getting XYZ in the future, like polio or TB, or Flu. You could carry and therefore pass on Covid even without displaying symptoms or being ill yourself, so whilst children weren't dy...

The most likely conspiracy is that conspiracy theories are invented and propagated deliberately so that kooks and youtubers can disseminate fantasy to the world so that no one looks too closely at a more mundane, yet actual globally impactful conspiracy. I don't know what that it is, my mind can't w...

I don't know it, but enjoyed Line of Duty. What flavour of TV is it on?

Neither Leeds nor Leicester will be as good as they are now in the championship next season, so I'd like them both to stay down and be big, rubbish, fish.
But whichever of them stays down, if even one does, they'll not finish top six, IMO.

So Forest a bit unlucky, but no more than we have had multiple times, no corruption, Clattenberg surely has to resign from Forest role after insulting his old pals in that way? Hard to see Forest getting many decisions in the closing games now tbh. Refs must be really naffed off. That would be an e...

distortiondave

I think five years ago a linesman disallows that goal immediately because it looked offside in real time, and it's the easier decision to make rather than potentially being responsible for Man Utd losing a semi final to lower league side from 3-0 up in the 121st minute if you turn out to be wrong. W...

Yes, plus Everton still have a game in hand afterwards, albeit against Liverpool.

There's at least 3 goal saving, er, saves by Muric just on the 3 minute sky highlights, and the consensus on here was a poor performance from us until our first goal, a little after 35 minutes. I'm not sure what's so out of order in what he's said? He's a manager trying to sugar coat a bad situation...

This could be anything - we know what these lot are like after they concede quickfire. We need to go for the jugular.

Given this is more like being at the circus than a top level sporting event, I think we should go for the juggler.

With so much of the game now given over to analysis and stats, having no readable data is hilariously concerning.

Emotional?

Bayer Leverkusen win the tie, but also avoid being beaten on the night to go, I think, 45 games unbeaten. 45 games! Going undefeated all season, winning the league, domestic cup and a european cup, is all on the cards. It's pretty mind-blowing really, and would set you up nicely had you bet on it at...

Does this mean they'll be 'properly' shown, as opposed to 'red buttoned'?
I saw a few red button games and it seemed like just a single camera - poor angles, local commentary, no replays - like watching it on the radio.

Whilst I think Muric has a calamity in him, if he starts the season as number one then he doesn't make either of those most recent mistakes, IMO. He did make mistakes last season - Blackpool and Watford at home were mistakes, and he had a torrid time at Sheffield United - but overall he was excellen...

Good to see Nori all over this thread.

Luckily for you he will be missing for next 3 games at least

Best striker in the world is right, and that includes Haaland who is himself a machine, but is nothing like the complete player Kane is. There's not been many strikers like Kane. Shearer draws obvious comparisons because of goals scored, but they're nothing alike. Kane is the best striker of his gen...

Dermot Gallagher on drunk drivers (allegedly): 'It's not deliberate, it's just a misjudgement, but it is the consequences - because if that driver kills someone the stakes get ramped up.

What needs to happen to make sure free kicks like that aren't given again, is to make every foul a red card, because red cards always get checked.

That 'Arrive Dyche' was the worst new manager welcome on a matchday programme ever.

He's been given the City/Villa game this week.

They have zero understanding of football, that's long been the problem. VAR is a waste of everyone's time as they don't know what they are looking at. This is really the crux of it. It's like they've been given the rules/laws of the game and told to enact them. By that metric, I could referee Ameri...

I think if either a) Forest are relegated and would have been even with their points back, or b) Forest are safe despite their points deduction, the punishment will stand. It'll be interesting if Forest go down but a 2 or 3 point deduction would have seen them safe. (unless there's already muttering...

Hendrick and Dave Jones was only divisive online; they never/rarely got grief from the crowd.
The only player I remember being booed by their our fans was Tony Philiskirk, we've been quite genial in the main since about 1996.

distortiondave

I don't really remember much division in the stands, but i only started watching us in the glory seeking days of 91/92. Of long time players and the internet, I suspect our divisive players are mainly goalkeepers; we have given front row seats to such goalkeeping luminaries (and these are in our goo...

Of all the players we've had deserving of being called 'rubbish', I bet Paul Robinson is on no-one's top 100.

Regarding the johnson situation - it does seem a bit rum that Forest are being punished for breaching profit rules by selling a player for more money during the same transfer window.

Should Cole Palmer be going to the Euros? He's having an excellent season. I don't follow much beyond us, but Rashford, Sterling, Grealish and the like are all having poor or injured seasons, so why not Kane up top, Foden and Palmer on the sides? One would assume that Bellingham has played his way ...

These must be the worst two expensively assembled teams ever, er, assembled. There's like a billion quid on the pitch and god knows how much in wages, and they are miles behind even Spurs, never mind City, Liverpool or Arsenal.

3 teams on the exact same number of goals conceded must be highly improbable.

distortiondave

What about letting 5 in at home in consecutive games - Sheff Utd have now done three straight in the league, four straight including the cup.
An aggregate score of 0-15 in two and half games is more like a rubbish tennis match than a top division football match.

Until tonight, were we the only team to be 5-0 down at home at half time since football began in 1992? (City under Laws)
