That is so petty and childish. Well done

I thought they were one and the same person. Have you ever seen them in the same room together?

Surely you know me better than that Some people seem to have a visceral hatred for anything with the word ‘European’ in it.

That’s not relevant. The Highway Code is quite clear about joining the motorway. You should match your speed to the traffic that you’re joining before moving across to join them. Whether that traffic is doing 50mph or 70mph the method is the same. I regularly see joiners who seem to think that they have right of way and don’t adjust their own speed in order to blend in smoothly.

The ECJ is nothing to do with the EU.

Yes, lovely goal. I don’t know how many were sitting in the stands but there were another twelve spectators on the pitch

With football contracts lasting three or four years it takes quite a while for the incumbent players to move on and a manager can arrive at a team of his choice.

Yep. Yellow at least. “strikes or attempts to strike” is a direct free kick.

The commentator said that Romeu had a Champion’s League medal from sitting on the bench when Chelsea beat Bayern Munich on penalties in 2012. The same match that Bertrand earned his winner’s medal.

No passengers today, just like on Wednesday. We saw a group of players who were playing as a team, for each other No panic, no just getting rid of the ball for the sake of it. I’d like to think that other top sides are looking at our performances with envy.

So sorry to hear your sad news. May I make a request to the mods that we rename this thread in his honour?

It is a refreshing change when you come away from Old Trafford slightly disappointed with a draw. A bit more composure from Broja and we might have won there. Stephens did well when he came on and I never thought I’d say that.

Offside all year long. Twice.

And Broja would not have seen the assault coming. A classic case of man before ball.

Not very often. We were told that you had to be absolutely certain before booking anyone for ‘simulation’. I think they should do it more often.

Possibly, but not enough for VAR to get involved and overturn the onfield decision.

That was last season. The criteria have been loosened for this season.

No, but they wouldn’t have scored their second goal.

As I understand the situation VAR can’t disallow a goal because of a foul that occurred early in a sequence of moves and I don’t think that VAR can intervene in any general fouls on the pitch unless there is a question of serious foul play. This situation should have been halted immediately because there had been a blow to the back of the neck. Nobody could have complained if that had happened.

Yes. Refusing to throw the ball back is just childish. I’d like to think that we were classier than that.

I thought it was a foul. Broja was moving backwards and Royal was moving forwards but Broja gets a forearm smash to the back of his neck well before Royal gets his head to the ball. A classic case of man before ball and probably worth a yellow card. Irrespective of that the ref should have stopped the game immediately if there is any suggestion of a head injury.

You’re not wrong.

Kudos and respects to ll those who made it up there tonight. Come home safely.
