The worst thing about this season is that Wolves and Burnley are so poor we've been robbed on both Spurs and West Ham being relegated in the same season.

If Spurs did go down, surely it would be without parallel? Big clubs like Leeds, Newcastle and Villa have been relegated, but Spurs have been close to the summit in the past decade where the financial gap between the "haves" and "have nots" has grown drastically compared to the ...

Royal Rother Also of course, as we’ve said before, no mid-game tactical talks with the manager / coaches should be allowed to happen when a player gets injured. Goalkeepers will suddenly get a lot more robust if that is introduced.

All for this, especially when its a keeper that's gone down injured.

Royal Rother And the delay would then be 5 mins as the nominated keeper changes jerseys, gets gloves on etc.

And then another 5 minutes to change back, 60 seconds later.

Just make them put on a bib and a pair of gloves that they keep behind the goal.

Dreadful performance, although I did appreciate they're commitment to the traditional standards of football by actively trying not to score from corners Wasn't it an easy header from a corner for Jones but he decided to try and chest the ball in?. The trouble is he hasn't got much of a chest (or he...

It is also expected that the IFAB board will rule that injured players who go down for treatment must leave the field for 60 seconds unless they were hurt by a foul that led to a yellow or red card. It will not apply to goalkeepers. There seems to have been a bigger increase in keeper's feigning in...

So why don't we see players sent off when there's been an accidental clash of heads. If one wins the ball the other one has put the opponent at risk of serious injury. Its not like Kelly barged into him when winning the header he just made contact as he was landing. Still think its a yellow at most.

Looked like a bit of a harsh yellow let alone red. Jumping for a header that he wins, eyes always on the ball and just lands on the other player. Unfortunate but nothing deliberate about it whatsoever from what I've seen.

Somewhat related to the attendances. 10 clubs with biggest increases in average attendance since 2015-16. I think its just a static comparison. In reverse order 10 Ipswich, +9,183 9 Fulham, +9,566 8 Birmingham, +9.780 7 Forest, +10,767 6 Everton, +13,894 5 Leeds, +14,268 4 Liverpool, +16,483 3 Cove...

I know my eyes aren't great but I thought the ball just hit Macca's back and I'm not sure that the point of the elbow would have produced enough power especially as he didn't make any additional movement of the arm. MacAllister himself said it hit him on the elbow as well as his back and he accepte...

It wouldn't be so irritating that after spending a couple of minutes placing the ball so that 1mm is just about over the line the corner taker doesn't just hoof the ball straight to the keeper most the time.

Millsy Who do you think should be our man of the match?

Burns, can't remember him putting a foot wrong.

Tuchel with a new England contract Not quite yet, he is just poised to commit to a 2 year extension. Thought there were some club sides hoping to get him after the WC so guess it’ll come down to how those proposals stack up. Any chance that the FA have put some kind of clause in there about it bein...

Happy to take these points but that was just awful. A particular highlight in the first half was Dorsett taking a thrown in near our box and somehow throwing it straight out to give Wigan a corner.

Winston Biscuit Whats the finger on lips about?

Shhh, don't tell the inland revenue.

I imagine Strand Larsen is celebrating a signing on fee the size of which he would never believe he'd get if its based on a percentage of the transfer fee.

Yes maybe there are more long throws right now, but there have also always been some long throws in the game, and so we dont need every long throw accompanied by a commentator telling us 'long throws are back' I was tempted to start an (Un-)Athletico FC thread. Were you put together the most unathl...

I think what the Spurs fans believe is the Spurs way differs massively from what everyone else thinks of as the Spurs way. I mean we all just think its means a bit of a shambles don't we?

No idea whether stats back me up but if Arsenal don’t score from set plays or something created by the wingers getting to the byline they don’t seem to score. Yes it is difficult to stop but it’s all too predictable. All the recent talk has been about Man Utd getting Tuchel, Ancelotti, Alonso next ...

Is Elliott able to go out on loan abroad?
