If you push someone... it is a foul! Not me being naive, just the ref not applying the rules!

He was fouled, that isn't being weak. Lukaku cheated by pushing Hoedt, which enabled him to get the ball. It was poor from the ref not to give it as a foul.

FM18 feature news revealed later this week...

How many football club badges can you name that aren't unique? Every badge is different, so that is a flawed point.

Didn't realise this was bumped from 2009

Academy? He is 25 years old!

Sam Gallagher joined Birmingham on loan for the season on 21st August

It is you that has rewritten history! Just like the media did! That Tweet from Koeman was merely to show that he was ready for training and all the training gear and cones etc were in place. It wasn't him complaining at a lack of players ffs!

We didn't use our first choice team vs Wolves. I don't see why our best side couldn't get three at the back to work. These 8 players didn't start the game... Cedric van Dijk Bertrand Hoedt Davis Gabbiadini Redmond Lemina

If we do, Hoedt would likely be on the left. It was poor vs Wolves, but it was also quite different from our 1st choice team. Our best players might make it work as an alternative system. After the Wolves game Pellegrino did say he'd use it again.

You think having 3 out of 11 players being particularly offensive players is too much?

That isn't good evidence, neither are/were the manager. They aren't as coaches ultimately responsible for the style of play.

Can either of you provide some good evidence as to why Sammy Lee is a better coach than Eric Black?

No, but it got me out of a long queue to have a metal detector search. Should security staff really be taken the word of people if they have been searched or not?

After one of the attacks the security was supposed to be increased at St Mary's... Steward: Have you been in the metal detector queue? (I hadn't and I look at the long queue) Me: Yes Steward: Ok, go to the turnstile Me:Cheers

Why do you think a system with 2 upfront is more attacking than 4-2-3-1? The latter can be very attacking if implemented correctly.

I'm guessing you mean Wesley Hoedt, rather than Jos Hooiveld?

It has been our badge for 43 years out of 132 years = 32% That isn't traditional, especially as it is the most recent 43 years.

Not really, as it came into existence 89 years after the formation of the club!

They can't be relegated this season, it is a two league system they are in. In any case, results are not what is important, it is production of players. Our first team squad now has a very high bar for a teenager to break past in order to get 1st team game time.

What are you both suggesting he should have done differently? Once they collided, van Dijk was never going to get back in time.

We finished higher in the Premier League without Cortese (6th & 7th)... than we did with him.

1) He is on significantly more than £50k p/w. We haven't got a wage bill as high as ours with our top earner only on £50k p/w. 2) Can you name any precedent in World Football history of a player refusing in similar circumstances to play from July to January or July to May?
