Whitey Grandad

Officially it is now called the ‘Spotify Camp Nou’ I knew they were short of a Euro or two but that is so disappointing.

What are you after? If it’s programmes or even scarfs my daughter has piles of them. She’s 46 now but she still stores them in her old room.

For their first goal we could both see that their right hand side had plenty of room as there had been several times earlier. There was so much space that I said to my grandson that it must be a deliberate way of playing and then a fraction of a second later Porro scored, off the underside of the bar if one report is correct. I didn’t notice that Elyonoussi was missing but it’s not unusual not to notice him.

Ah, ok. Maybe I couldn’t see it because their players were standing in the way.

I couldn’t see that line from my position in the Kingsland. Is this a new tactic? Delay the kick so long that the line disappears and then you can stand in front of it.

That was remarkable and seemed to have the right effect. I wonder what was said?

Of course not.

Nice touch at the end from Fraser Forster who came over towards the Kingsland to applaud the fans and beat his fist against his chest. Much appreciated by those in the stand and warmly applauded. Great to see a big hug with JWP as well. Apparently they used to be neighbours. "I know Fraser very well, he used to be my next-door neighbour so I've taken a few penalties against him in my garden with my little boy, so we have something going on there." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65002705

Ta for that, I wouldn’t have known otherwise. I’m more nervous than I was at the game, even though I know the result.

If he did he wouldn’t be here.

Ouch. Three to six weeks.

Complacency?

Everton away?

He was great today. Not just for him setting up Adams and scoring himself but for his constant runs across the back to pull their defenders out of position.

Either of those is a quick return.

Which call was that?

Because it was mikes away from him.

Because it wasn’t. Give it a rest FFS

Running... running... What exactly is that?

It might have been a narrow defeat but it was a long way off from a narrow victory.

He was in an offside position, which is not of itself an offence. It is only penalised once he becomes involved. I’m old fashioned and prefer the historic interpretations.

Not my view at all. I am just restating the interpretation of the Law as opinionated by the IFAB. I’m just saying that it’s applied inconsistently.

No, not his fault, but is an inexperienced prospect what we really need in our situation?

It’s inconsistent. The Forest defender deliberately played the ball. Or did he? There have been other games where that would have been allowed. Salah anybody?

Higher productivity than us.
