Correct.

Correct.

Dean was good last night. One of the better refereeing performances of the season. He was pretty consistent in allowing defenders to get stuck in and didn’t give them their penalty appeal. I think he got most yellow card calls correct. I thought Bednarek’s was harsh and the challenge on Redmond near the end was probably a sort of 60/40 decision where he maybe should have given it but I can understand him not giving it.

We’ve been asking for that. We just don’t do enough with the ball. Should have put the game to bed on several occasions.

Yeah. Maybe Stephens too.

Lemina for Romeu please. Mike Dean's gonna whip the red out at some point.

Our lack of quality remains alarming but the coaching, organisation and effort is spot on.

We're a mess at the back again.

Hopefully something funny happens. Like he bones a horrid local, or something.

Good point, I forgot he was fragile. Yeah, start Long.

That disallowed goal really winds me up still, given some of the goals that have been allowed since for much clearer offside situations.

Or they could give it the Mullet Mow (long down the sides and short up top) or the Brazilian (tightly cropped flanks with growth up the middle). Some people say you shouldn’t try to guess the grass before a match but it’s those 1%s that make the difference.

Exactly.

The interesting question is whether the ref would give it if he didn't fall over. He should but often they don't.

He's made sure the ref gives it but that's a clear foul. You've got no business wrapping both arms round a player. Foul.

That's a hard one.

Yeah, agree completely. Hope it's 0-0.

Could GM's much-heralded collapse of Deutsche Bank be getting nearer.... http://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/21/greece-to-ask-germany-for-billions-in-war-reparations ?

Anyway, I am pleased with the renewed impetus and the material progress that has been made since the extension was agreed. We're really rattling through those issues now.

Is this true? Smells a bit like a badly-formatted copy and paste from some hyper-partisan echo chamber. When I went to private school we did: - more subjects than my state school friends (I did 12 GCSEs, most of them did about 9) - proper subjects (I did Chemistry, Biology, Physics, two languages, humanities etc. - my state school mates did "science", "food tech", "PE" etc.) - an Additional Maths GCE (this was based on an old O-Level course and much of my maths A-Level the next year replicated it, which led me to believe that subjects certainly had been dumbed-down over time). So, in a nutshell, I did harder exams and more of them. Obviously I had better resources available and was surrounded by a culture of expected attainment, rather than one which treats a "C" as something good, so I did have those advantages. I would be surprised if good private schools are taking notably easier GCSE courses as a strategy. There have always been some differences between the various exam boards from year to year. Further, a lot of private sixth forms nowadays offer the International Baccalaureate, which is generally considered to be more challenging than A-Levels. P.s. why is this on the Brexit thread?

Loan or perm? It would be a result to get his wages off the books.

Not really. We've been **** apart from for 25 minutes.

Smart lino.

There's a bit of quality we've been lacking.
