  1. In order to play in the first tie he would have needed to be registered by 12:00 noon on the Friday before, which was before the transfer window opened.
  2. Some players take a weak hold of an opponent's shirt because they can tell where that player is moving whilst they're watching the ball come in. Just holding a shirt is not enough for a foul, it would have to prevent the opponent from moving freely. Smalling was definitely 'holding' Pellè and should have been penalised. I suspect that Dowd had been given information at some stage because he warned Smalling later in the game.
  3. No. He would have had to have been eligible for the original tie.
  4. Only £280,000 according to The Mail, if that makes you feel better
  5. But, from what I read in a weekend paper, the other fella texted Evans and told him to come and help himself too. There were also the other two that videoed the whole thing through the window, or something. Then the two footballers left the girl to herself in the small hours and told the doorman to watch out for her. Or have I misread all this?
  6. Perhaps I'm just more laid-back about such things.
  7. After reading a bit more I can't understand how one was acquitted and the other was convicted, but I suppose this is where we have to leave it up to the judge and jury.
  8. I don't remember Waddle, to be honest, but I do remember Ulrich Van Gobbel having a good game.
  9. They're both very true. I suppose what I meant was 'being 1-0 up and in total control'. The only similar away game that I have experienced was away at Roker Park when Egil had score for us.
  10. But if you finish 4th and get knocked out of the CL preliminary round, isn't that 'game over'?
  11. Or Arsenal win this year's Champions League and finish outside the top 4?
  12. I think that's true. The other unknown is the winner of the FA Cup. If Arsenal, say, win it and finish outside the top 4 or 5 then don't they get a Europa Cup place?
  13. What is it with these youngsters that they have to keep changing things all the time?
  14. January signings are not always a great success.
  15. Victor Wanyama, he eats when he likes.
  16. Don't wish your life away, enjoy every moment of where we are and where we have come from. Even after we went 1-0 up I told my daughter to relax and enjoy the sensation of being ahead at Old Trafford. It's never happened to me before.
  17. Might be quiche They don't even look as though they've broken into a sweat.
  18. Very generous of you to hold your hands up and apologise
  19. Sorry, I meant to say NONE on target. For once in my old life I got overexcited.
  20. We will be on a downward curve one day. But not yet
  21. According to SKY it was 2009. Man Utd 10 attempts, none (that's NONE, zero, nichts, niente, rien, a big FAT ZERO) :)
  22. Well done to all those who made the trip up there. I had been going for years but the best I ever saw was a 3-3 draw. I take my hat off to you all. Enjoy the trip bak
  23. Are we safe yet?
  24. Clean sheet! Love it (Never in doubt)
  25. FIFA directive. Just because it's a silly thing to do.
