Whitey Grandad

Baked or grilled?

Or should that be 'nucular'?

To be fair, we shall never know if Ali Dia could have turned into something special, given enough time.

Going back and dragging up old posts is seriously sad.

Another thing... Why wasn't Barry Gale wearing stripes?

Touch and go, I reckon.

I can't tell the difference.

You haven't answered my second point. Is it where the contact is or where the player is?

I'm watching the recording now and it's definitely not a foul. Benteke has jumped and headed the ball before Jose backs into him.

To be fair, I'd have preferred a 1-0 today plus a couple more away wins.

Why do you think it was outside? The referee (Neil Moss?) was a few yards away and looking right along the line. Do you think the point at which the contact occurs is where the foul takes place, or is it the position of the fouled player?

Nah, just a collision. At the time I wondered if it might be a penalty but Mané made a decision unnecessary. Fair play to those Villa fans who applauded Long's second goal.

Yeah, they've not had many big occasions so it's not surprising they were overcome.

I would have preferred a clean sheet but I'll take a 6-1 Mané was magnificent and unplayable. I'm pleased to say that my early misgivings were unfounded. I take my hat off to him.

Then absolutely every don't know the laws. Close, and I'd have let him go but he should have got back quicker.

It was close. Most people make the mistake of looking at the centre of the body but if 'any part' is nearer the goal than the defender then he's offside. 'Any part' includes his heel.

If it's obvious you'll get stopped.

It was too close for that to be over-ruled. I thought at the game that he was ok and I've just seen the replay. From that I would say he's probably onside but he does leave a trailing foot which might be enough.

This was last season so they must have been the own-bland. Even my 2-year old grandson had to have a youth's size.

Yes, but are they going to be big enough? I had to buy my 10 year old grandson an adult size and even then it was tight.

I had some fun once. Not sure if I liked it

I always found him likeable and intelligent but I do think he spent too much time on here for his own good. He always argued his corner well even though I often disagreed with him but I put this down to his youth and have often wondered whether and how his views would be tempered by another twenty years experience. Maybe now he can spend a bit more time in the real world away from the fantasy life that we all share on here.

Says the right thing without saying anything. But could be worse.

Are you sure you haven't spelled woeful wrong? Autocorrect maybe?

Great fun I can't see a club like Man Utd or Chelsea or Man City doing something like that
