Re: Weekend Football

Man City are good enough to win without Craig Paulson’s help. :| I presume you’re referring to the first penalty. Was discussing this with a Gooner mate last night and he thinks it wasn’t a great deal different to the Rice/Davies incident from the North London derby. Whether we like it or not, Ait ...

Re: Rival Watch

You have to laugh at Birmingham; they survived easily the season we got relegated and looking good lying in 6th in early October, when the new American owners decided to sack the Manager John Eustace and bring in someone to "instill the winning mentality and positive culture" that the new...

Re: The non snowball stat thread

Birmingham City's relegation got my thinking, they can be added to the list of teams I've seen us play in the top 3 tiers. Having followed the club closely since 99/00 or so, the list currently includes Wigan, Bolton, Charlton, Stoke, Portsmouth, Derby and Swansea to my memory. Got me thinking, we ...

Re: VAR

It's ludicrous. This is meant to be a tool to resolve contentious moments and areas of "unsurety". I don't know what PGMOL has been telling its officials but to me it seems they're being told to not referee or make decisions or if they're not told that they seem to let VAR decide everythi...

Re: Weekend Football

Ascotexgunner Leeds apparently owe 180 million in unpaid transfer fees.....surely an FFP breach is on the cards if they fail to go up.

Shirley, that’s not an FFP breach, it’s a football creditor regulation that’s been around for decades

FinanciaLOL faiROFL pLOLay Whilst I think that they have been playing with fire a bit, to say that bringing in £100m from selling players is contrary to FFP is a bit …. WTF are you thinking they should have done …. given them away ? Plenty of clubs have successfully survived and built their entire ...

Re: Weekend Football

6th highest wage bill in the PL when relegated, brought in £100M from selling 3 players last summer while also receiving parachute payments on top of that, were able to keep their players on those PL wages incl Jamie Vardy being on £140,000 a week, stumbled over the line having looked like they wer...

Re: Weekend Football

Winston Biscuit Leicester winning the league and potentially getting 100 points is possibly the most underwhelming story in football

Only a month ago they were going to batter the points record … and now they’ve stumbled over the line

Re: Weekend Football

Can’t remember if I’ve said this before but Mrs F has more Premier League assists than KDB. If we’re sat watching a game, if she leaves the room for anything at all, you can guarantee a goal is scored. She got four assists yesterday, one each for Arsenal and Spurs, and both City’s I’m sure it’s just...

Re: Ex Players

Reportage, you thick goon, it was half his squad at Bradford who said it; great when things are going well but clueless when things get a little bit tricky and too eager to try to please everyone. I guess having a budget 2 to 3 times bigger than every other club in the league helps oil the wheels. ...

Re: Weekend Football

Keeping an eye on that Burnley Forest game If Burnley can pick up a couple of points that is gonna be a cracker. I so want Forest to go down. They offer bugger all in the PL. One of the few sides to take on the bigger clubs and they gave City a bit of a fright in the fist half. I wonder if City wil...

Re: Weekend Football

Just what did Michael Oliver see for the eventual penalty for Spurs
It couldn’t have been any clearer and he was 5 yards away looking straight at it

I would normally try to think of some mitigating factor but can’t find one

And apparently he’s one of our top referees

Re: Weekend Football

Christ where have the spurs fans gone? Empty seats everywhere? That is probably the main reason for my mild dislike of Spurs. Noticed it first at our place in the PL when they were streaming out with around 20 mins to go. Can't help notice it now. Some of the worst fans around. And now they have a ...

From Despair To Where? You'll regret that post if they win 15-0 at Ipswich next week.

Technically, they only need 14 as in order for it to count Plymouth need to have theirs worsened :wink:

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

yuomi Pereira's ragged distribution is the worst thing about his game, but that was just painful to watch. If he's ever going to have a chance, surely it's CBC's turn next season?

The goal wasn’t even ragged distribution

Did he not see the guy in orange ?
