True, only one football club, but then we don't have the popularity of rugby to compete with. I'd still put them ahead of us in the "big club" list though.

.As we've got no keeper maybe we could confuse Arsenal with a 6-4-1 formation and scrape a nil -nil. I am willing to make a Fantasy League sacrifice for this one and keep Aubameyong for one more unproductive game. If I transfer him out he'll definitely score a hat trick

How long was McC injured? MotD showed a clip of him rubbing his leg and Lycanco taking goal kick with a big 16:54 caption in the corner. Can't have been early in the first half can it?

Probably also clutching at straws but he did purchase Nice from a Chinese owner. (Well Cinese/USA consortium but that makes my straw a bit shorter). I'd love it if it was INEOS, just a question of whether the cycling team starts wering our kit or we change to theirs.😂 Next concern, which is not only clutching at straws but seriously counting my chickens, what's the ruling nowadays if 2 teams owned by same owner get drawn together in Champions League/Europa League/That other one?

Always had you down more as an effluencer myself 😂😂

Possibly the biggest WTF! moment I've ever had seeing a line-up. Confusingly I can't make up my mind if my shock was despair or excitement. The more I look at it I'm veering towards the latter.

Doubt we would call it anything. Far more likely to be renting out premises for a guaranteed income to the likes of Wetherspoons, Costa, Wagamama, Prezzo, Rock Up, Hollywood Bowl and various other chains willing to pay high rents for premises guaranteeing 30k potential cusomers on their doorstep once a fortnight but also benefit from a riverside location with views on non-match days.

Probably because of the increase in commercial income (needed to increase our transfer/wages budget under FFP rules) they could obtain from the bars, restaurants and whatever else they built on it. But disapointingly, I'd imagine if the club were seriously interested in a plot so close to home it wouldn't have needed to be advertised for sale in the first place.

Can someone remind me. The scrap of paper featuring the MPZ is now legendary but was it just a piss take or meant to be a genuine idea? There was so much going on on here around that time truth and fiction seems to have blurred in the memory

We don't know if he was in their top ten, there could have been plenty laughed at their approach / politely turned them down

Wasn't it the weekend after that when we were mathmetically safe last year as it turned out, just didn't know it at the time.

And if relegation happens what's the betting that just like his retrospective "only ever intended to see out one contact at Saints" when he thought he was good enough to go to a bigger club, he'll suddenly announce it was always his intention after plying his trade elsewhere to return to his boyhood club again one day and see out the remainder of his career there. Would we take him back if it happened? Purely on ability I'd still say yes, but with that injury record probably not.

Not for me either. If 19 is preventing McCarthy getting out with that touch he must have the strongest arm in football.

Couldn't believe that all the freeze frame back and forth replays for Brighton's penalty concentrated on the leg contact. It was clear from the one, normal speed, replay they showed from the opposite angle that player tried to stay on his feet but it was actually the yank on the front of his shirt that pulled him off balance. And talking of shirt tugs we were very lucky to get away with Romeu on Mings. Did VAR even look at that?

I wondered that as well. It was first half so if it was tactical it didn't work. Can only gues it was "buck your fucking ideas up or I'm having your balls at half time" or "Tell the ref there's another £500 in it for him if El Ghazi stays on till half time"

True. I must have missed the rule change that says when a team is losing free kicks may be taken from anywhere within a 10 yard radius of where the offence occurred.

Just to pove you're not bull$hitting, which oneof these gentlemen is your ITK builder?

Hadn't thought of Covid. Could have been that I guess

In an Echo article on him today, a strange comment from him in a quote discussing his transfer Why would either club make such a stipulation?

I've heard there's a grudge carried over from a previous game, and Romeu will ensure that first opportunity he gets McGinn will be upended .

Wow, power and placement with virtually no backlift. Impressive from Che

Only just seen it but couldn't agree more. Ref couldn't have had a clearer view. McArthur was not even close to volleying that dropping ball even if Sako hadn't been there.

Was just about to post similar question. And if he has, where, general seats or directors/club issue section. There's a big difference between him wanting to watch PL football in his time off and attending as a guest of the club

Yes, well confusing when you're at work only half watching.
