There's a simple solution to all this messing around with dates. Just hold all the Europa League games on a Wednesday. Football shouldn't be played on Thursday's. It's not natural and only ever used to happen with multiple FA Cup replays which are no longer with us.

More about differences in upbringing, cultural background and heritage, and moral standards and values than just being an immigrant.

Unless you played for Man Utd.

Please don't, I'm starting to cry

It was also only two points for a win.

It's the first time that I can remember. I can recall the days when there were three games over the weekend and it was always reckoned that these would settle the relegation issues.

Good idea. I hate international weekends.

Of course there's no guarantee that we shall continue to have 4th spot as a CL place forever.

The big clubs hate it and the small clubs love it. It's called the FA Cup because every club in the country takes part in it. Otherwise they might as well call it the Big Knob's Cup.

Nobody falls to the ground in slow motion in real life. It's not natural.

But not in 3D. Slomo doesn't clarify the matter, it distorts the physics of the movement.

Nothing about the other 37 games, especially our poor run near the the end?

Ok, thanks I'm on holiday at the moment four hours ahead of you and the football coverage is very limited here. I'll look forward to seeing all the fuss and bother when I get home in a week or so but by then this will all be old history. I expect there'll be something else to discuss by then.

I was only asking for clarification. Did Clattenburg indicate that he had given it for handball, or might there have been some other reason?

Of course. I've not seen it, was it given for handball?

Or the ONLY one who bothers to tell it like it really is. There may be hundreds of others who don't give a toss.

They would have to make a howler first, not just give a decision that a bunch of opinionated saddos on an obscure football forum didn't agree with. No, I haven't seen the match yet so I won't comment on any decisions that may or may not have been made over this past weekend.

You couldn't afford it.

Good to see that we battled our way out of trouble.

Very true.

What was that business with Diane Abbot et al.?

And all doctors should work exclusively for the NHS?

Par for the course, I'd be surprised if they didn't. And that applies to all political persuasions.

A minister is 24/24 on taxpayer's time. They don't work fixed hours. Unlike some doctors.

That's a gross insult. To those of us who used to ref the Sunday games
