Or Europe. I’s only Freedom of Movement of Labour

Pep would have been too young.

It was never an unqualified right to live anywhere in the EU. Other countries enforced the restrictions. The UK didn't. And if you believed that goalmouth Farage it proces the points made earlier.

You only need to look at the people who thought it was a good idea to know that it would be a bad idea.

I don’t think I ever saw him play despite have season ticket.

We should have scored more, not saved the single goals.

Society is still paying for it.

Are you sure that's water?

We needed another 12 points. How many goals would these two have scored?

A better keeper will lead to better results. But in a team with a bad defence he may not make a big difference.

And that’s what’s fundamentally wrong about it. Television has changed the Laws of the Game and not for the better. This business about not flagging immediately for offside is one example. An offside player who is not flagged can run through and win a corner from which play continues. This is not right.

I would prefer that they used the badge on the shirt as the marker. It’s what is effectively used in athletics. Having said that, I would prefer that it wasn’t used at all.

As has never been proven. Please don’t make up your own facts.

Times change. And so should the Laws of offside if they are going to be affected by TV.

When the offside law was introduced it was never intended that it should be judged to the nearest millimetre.

After five games? Really? Of course they mean nothing.

Well done for giving it a go. I hung up my whistle a long time ago but even then the influence of TV was considered a problem.

Of course she did but I don’t think she included herself amongst the ‘we’.

It’s the same the whole world over.

When Thatcher said “What we are doing now…” did she mean her government?

Something, but not enough in my view. Reactions like his set a terrible example to the grass roots game.

Let’s not exclude the possibility of international money ‘shuffling’

No contradiction at all. We have a playing style (allegedly). Someone or something concocts some figures that are suppose to relate to what actually happened. That does not mean that there is a correlation between what happened at the game and some numbers that were produced afterwards. As far as the betting world goes football is just a random number generator for them.

The alternative view up is that xG and xGA are rarely anywhere close to what actually happened and therefore must be flawed.

That's not what I'm saying at all, and well you know it. My criticism is of the obsession with irrelevant figures in the weird belief that they actually mean something. These are subsequent on, and not the cause of our playing style, if we actually have one at the moment.
