And guess which one on that list was there yesterday according to Solent commentary (who saw fit to mention it twice in case we missed it the first time).

Surely with our current forwards' levels of finishing there should be no such thing as an expected assist in our statistics at the moment.

Not too dissimilar to problems on the pitch. Lacking a leader when the going gets tough. Yoshida looks like the only one even half willing to take on that role and he's only just found himself back in the starting line up.

That report refers to the pitch being laid and the goalposts put up. What else is needed to put on a match? If the pitch is ready they should be made to play in an empty stadium until it's ready to accommodate spectators.

I'd love to see that EU "problem" challenged. The PL - and all other leagues - is a competition. As such it can set it's own rules as to who can participate. There would be nothing to stop clubs employing as many EU nationals as they liked, but if the rules of the competition was that at least, say 8, players on the field at any one time have to be home grown, then clubs would naturally look towards them first. EU rules also (I believe) bans gender discrimination. FA rules are that men and women can't play in the same team, because that's the rules of their competitions.

Posting this from phone, my laptop has crashed 4 times this week, on every occasion it's whilst I was on here. Not happened at any other time and I've been on plenty of other sites in that time.. Can't be coincidence.

Ditto

Same here although since I changed the privacy settings turning all the options off it seems to be mainly empty shells where ads should be. Constantly getting an "X" about 3cm up 4cm across in bottom left of screen (laptop, firefox browser) seems to be approximately top right corner of where a floating ad kept appearing before I changed the settings. Clicking it makes it disappear but it's back every time a page loads. Also every page load runs through loads of "transferring data" "waiting for" and "loading" messages followed by various names in bottom left corner despite settings switching them all off.

Honours aren't just awarded out of the blue, recipients have to be nominated for consideration in the first place . So if anyone with time on their hands wants to set the ball rolling ..... https://www.gov.uk/honours

Or based on that idea Danny Ings Danny Ings We've not got a song for you... has a certain ironic humour to it ;-)

Transfer Window Days just ain't the same any more

Not just a dressing room. Sounds like the OP has never spent anytime interacting with normal male human beings.

Probably explains why he rarely gets past his man then

There's not many games at this level where a team isn't in danger of losing at some stage during the 90 minutes. The important point is they DIDN'T lose those games. They COULD have been 3-0 down in the semi - most teams at this level will create/allow a few chances during a game, the important point was they weren't. They didn't play the youngest team to reach a semi final, they played them in the final. Agreed they wern't a brilliant team, butnor where many others. I felt that this years WC was a bit like the PL when Leicester won it with nobody really outstanding, France were deserved winners and Croatia deservedly second.

Indeed, he's always been under-rated as a player but as a "person" he's head and shoulders above many in his attitude to both himself and the game. I've read his book, the effort and commitment he has put in over the years to keep improving deserves success. Compare with Neymar whose talent seems to come naturally but as a person seems to be a total kn0b.

Orinoco Rooster? That's his next user name sorted then.

Why are you still here ?

Rear view only Could be a stunt double. The plot thickens.

Sad reflection of modern day football that that sentence includes the word "only"! Good signing, now to get FF off the payroll.

WTF! Seen some strange posts on this forum over the years but this one is going to take some beating!

Any keepers out there? What would you have done? His lob straight to the forward was atrocious but for me the even bigger mistake was as soon as he saw what he'd done he went backwards. Surely a better option was immediately charge at Rebic spreading arms and legs as wide as possible and screaming his head off, anything to put him off. It was such a slow up and down lob chances are he'd have been on him before he volleyed it, certainly close enough to distract him. Having said that, it was a very enjoyable moment

I feel the same (about the kit, not Prowse). In the photos of players (and the Aussie fan) wearing them the red area across the top of the chest looks much smaller than in the leaked photos on hangers . And the collar looks a better shape as well, in the hanger photo the black collar seemed to merge into a black inner back panel or something giving it a weird blocky shape. Still don't like stripes, still wouldn't buy one but definitely liking it more the more I see it.

I remember this time last year seeing our "easy" start and predicting we would be top of the league at Bonfire night. That went well then. I'll keep quiet this time round although our fixtures till the end of October look pretty comfortable

Don't like it but nice to been seen on a par with Chelsea, Juventus & Barcelona. No idea where that was taken but maybe our standing abroad is higher than we thought.
