I didn't spot it initially. But the replay shows the arms going up to the ball. A closer look shows part of the hand bend back, at the moment the ball goes past it. It didn't look like a natural movent, needing some impact to have happened. I get the point on the trajectory. It seemed to slow the ball fractionally, rather than divert it. VAR working well. The same for the goalkeeper encroachment for the initial save. Very clear on the replay.

The first squad large enough to need exponents. Mind you, there was that Redknapp season where rothmans struggled to fit everyone on the page.

You'd think with so many people there with bags full of things to club people with...but nope...

All that and lovely hair too. 🙂

Curses! I was going to go with. "Doesn't Bazunu have his own thread?" Beaten to the punch...which is just like...I'll just stop there...there is that other thread... 🙂

It's the same one where we kept our confidence and goalscoring locked in the vault last season. 🙂

They think it's all over... Good to see the subs make a difference. England did have a lot more dominance that half. But it was Earps that kept their lead. Some issues about being susceptible to covering through balls. Some issues about when to make those key passes. A little too keen sometimes, a little too wary at others. They will look to improve on this, and it will help keep everything focused. I wasn't expecting Haiti to be so decent, with a number doing well in French football. Good to see strength and depth across the competition. 3 points, and bring on the next game.

Yeah, Haiti have looked decent. Looking to catch England up the park, and exploit the space. England are without some key players, through retirement and injury. Still plenty of talent in there, but some of the former subs now have to step up to starters. England struggling recently for goals. Had it not been for the handball, they would have gone in level. Hemp looks to be the one to unlock their defence, offering that bit of creativity. Sorry to see the Haitian injury. She looked in a lot of pain, so hope for a quick recovery. Good game.

"effectively" probably isn't the word a lot of posters would choose. 🙂

Welcome home Lyanco!

um... > shuffles feet uncomfortably< I always liked him and look forward to his passion driving us to the top of the Championship, when he recovers. 🙂

I was hoping the club would still be able to stand firm on players on longer contracts. The goal being getting back up next season, and having them still with us of possible. Unless we get our own valuation met.

Contracted till 2026 (thanks over land and sea thread). You'd have hoped we'd get the most out of it we could. Tino is a key example of the SR model. If the return is meagre for the successful ones, after clauses, then the model is undermined a bit. Even if we get more from others like Lavia, it is a bit disappointing.

They said shining, not The Shining. 🙂

Some signings are so important, that you don't want to tip your hand.

It’s been pointed out to you a few times that there will be a range of views within any group of people. That applies to both sides of a dispute. So, both sides will have ranges leading to extremism. And where extremist elements of both sides will try to gain an advantage. Bear that range in mind. The article states “To assume that a Jewish person in New York has “loyalty” to Israel – or is responsible for its actions – is undoubtedly anti-Semitic.” Yet you’ve spent recent days telling us that:- “You would expect Jewish people to feel aggrieved if members of a political party were sympathetic towards the Palestinians wouldn’t you?” “Perhaps look further into the reasons why 87% of Jewish people in the UK support that view.” “Jewish people have done a better job with the label “antisemitic” And the show stopping, reassessment of the holocaust with… “If you can’t see the difference between the prejudice shown against Jewish people under the Nazis in the 1930s and 40s and people supporting Palestinians now.” So, the author of the article would consider you to be anti semitic. Because blaming all Jewish people is exactly what you‘ve been doing. That’s a writer on a platform that was only too happy to let a guy have his own show who supported the suicide bombing of Israelis, and that it was the will of Allah that Jewish people were killed by Hitler. You’ve only just been able to separate Israeli policy from Jewish people. Instead of this article being brought out as a point of discussion, it comes across as simply cover for your actual views quoted above. And that doesn’t even work, because the author finds your view to be anti-semitic too. Just like the president of Palestine example from yesterday, who didn’t share them. Your views are defintiely not shared by the person he’s discussing in the article either. Going by the article, she was at pains to specifically not endorse the things that you’re doing here. Oh, and on… “Businesses are entitled to pick and choose who they do business with.” Actually, there’s equality acts that tell them that’s exactly what they can’t do.

Did Norwich get a takeover? 🙂
