A pretty ineffective one. The guy I know who was at the game was right behind the goal and so if the keeper had heard something, he would have done as well. I'm completely confident that he would be honest about it if something did go on. The guy is very straight talking, no nonsense and calls people out on their bullsh*t all the time.

Looking at the guys record overall he's got a very, very good goals and assists to games ratio. I understand it's in mostly lower leagues but the only time he's played in a higher league at no point did he get a run in the team. Add to the fact that he's on course to win his 5th piece of silverware and his 3rd league title in 3 different countries. I think there's still a good player there, but whether we'll ever see him do it in this country is unlikely.

I don't believe for a second that anybody said Mauricio Pelligrino could be the next Alex Ferguson.

With attacking options like that we should be working on quick one-twos between them to get beyond the defence, my worry is that those three behind Ings all like to try and take on the man themselves and if that isn't on then they just lay it off backwards and try to reposition.

He just looks fed up constantly, even during games.

Absolutely. He was ordered to send a letter to Brussels asking for an extension, and he sent a letter to Brussels asking for an extension.

...the fourth official is still beside the pitch, and they have screens at pitchside that are just never used.

Not sure I agree with that. Only time I ever saw him look decent was running down the wing to get a cross in.

Might chuck £200 on it to fund a season ticket in the championship next season.

Yep I watched that, "not passing backwards or square" was the exact phrase...then literally as he finished saying that the clip in the background showed a backwards pass followed by a square pass. The trick is having the guts to play the forward pass when the opportunity is there, not ALWAYS passing forward.

I don't understand why they can't have the fourth official do the pitch side reviews, as they are always fully qualified referees anyway.

Very amusing, but also completely irrelevant. The language used in the Yeovil game couldn't be construed as racist unless completely misheard.

Spoke to a couple of mates who are Yeovil fans and were at the game right behind the goal. They said that someone shouted "get back c*nt" because the keeper was encroaching on the penalty and that must have been misheard because that's when their players started going mad. Also said that unreported was the fact that the keeper had been spraying his water bottle in the face of a fan behind the goal and had a swear filled rant at them himself at one point. Seems to think if Yeovil had missed the penalty, they wouldnt have kicked up a fuss and would have played on. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I would genuinely fancy my chances against some of the dross in the Scottish league.

The law required him to send a letter asking for an extension - he's done that.

For what? Your post is coming across far more childish and spoilt than anything he's done.

Having said that it was a fantastic second touch to take it across the defender, taking him completely out of the game.

Not sure why anyone was moaning about VAR for the first one anyway as it was the lino that gave it as a freekick. Really in that situation VAR shouldn't have had anything to do with it as the game had stopped already, anything that happened afterwards would be considered out of play.

I understand people who are of the opinion VAR takes some of the magic out of the game, but really not sure why people are saying Wolves were unlucky today. Under the laws the the game those two goals shouldn't have stood.

Youtube isn't working, what tune is this to?

Is that Paul Fosu-Mensah the one that used to be at Ajax? Brother of Timothy Fosu-mensah at United?

Nonsense.

It's not sustainable, that's my point. You can't rely on him as a goalscorer as he's only scoring when there's a major f*ck up in the opposition back line. It's not like when we had Pelle, Rickie, Mane and could rely on them to create something for themselves.

Can still only score when there's a defensive **** up, Ings has been very lucky with goalkeeping/centre back mistakes, doesn't actually create much for himself. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

And there was Trousers thinking there wasn't much opportunity for laughing at them anymore!
