Whitey Grandad

Obvious, isn't it. Defender goes to ground clutching his head, attack over.

At present the goalkeeper can move as much as he wants provided he stays on his line. Previously (many years ago) he couldn't move until the ball was kicked. "The defending goalkeeper must remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts until the ball has been kicked."

No more dropped balls? There will still be circumstances where it is appropriate. Ball trapped under a player, outside interference of any kind.

A manifesto is a wishlist and nothing more than that.

TV coverage of games: TV directors who cut to the cameraman down by the corner flag just as the player out there crosses the ball. Replays of non-events being shown whilst the gam,e is going on. Shots of managers on the sidelines whilst the game is going on. Commentators who scream a player's name at the top of their voices just as they blast a shot way over the bar.

Two words: “coming up” Talking over the credits at the end of films. Shrinking the credits so you can’t read them just so they can tell you what’s on next. Recapitulating the story so far after every advert break People who say “would of” Drums at football games (actually this is a big thing for me) People who don’t thank you when you hold the door for them or let their car through before you. That irritating uptalk? How long have we got?

But they have a title to defend, doncha know.

It depends. If she is a good cook and keeps the house tidy then...

It swings both ways?

Does it come with the creases built in or do you have to develop them yourself?

Yes, she caught my eye too, the first thing that I noticed in that photo It's a classic case of Beauty and the Beast.

Y not? (only joking)

Is that the FA Cup that they bought with public money?

There’s a full-page article on his challenge in The Times this morning (paywall): https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/former-southampton-star-francis-benali-who-drove-his-body-to-the-brink-to-raise-1m-R You may be able to find it by searching for: “Southampton star Francis Benali who drove his body to the brink to raise £1m“

Demand questions!

Ah! So he’s after the job too

Presumably that means 4 wins in 24? I would look up there record but I can’t be arsed. It doesn’t sound so bad when you put it like that.

"Never believe a rumour until you hear it officially denied"

It's not very funny, not clever and very disrespectful.

Ridiculous and all very disappointing. Haven't we as a country got past the stage of highlighting somebody's ethnicity instead of their capabilities? Every time that some idiot tries to make a differentiation based on skin colour or physical appearance they are perpetuating outdated stereotypes. Such people are the worst type of racist. Hughton was a decent player and a decent manager, not the greatest but always gave his best. He won't be the first manager to lose his job after this past season.

Let's hope that Gunn learns from his mistake and becomes a better keeper. I really think that this howler killed any life in the rest of the team for the rest of the match. It cost us some place money along with, as you say, every other mistake but at least it was in a relatively unimportant game.

Mané’s second goal was offside yesterday too. Hilarious? The word is inadequate. I haven’t stopped laughing yet.

No place for Boufal then?

Premier League prize money.

A thumping win and everybody gets sent home for the summer with big grins on their faces. Please.
