That depends on who the person is doing the accusing - a forum wouldn't be a forum if we all agreed. I like both games equally, it just so happens that I feel quite strongly about certain aspects as i'm sure we all do.

You are indeed a force to be reckoned with. Hopefully you'll spend the rest of your evening finding other examples. The fact is you're still wrong. God help you if you think otherwise.

To be fair you gave one excellent example of cheating in the gane of rugby, and I'm sure you have many others from this weekend that you could share if you wanted to. I don't think some rugby players aren't petulant, of course they are but in terms of a code of respect on the field the two games really can't be compared. What officials say goes, end of.

Rather that stuff happen in what we all know is a physical sport, but WITH respect to officials and each other than the non stop diving, cheating, swearing at officials, spitting at each other, acting like babies, feigning injury to get players booked....shall I go on?

What a great counter argument that is.

Absolutely and the respect thing in the game is a much wider issue not for this thread.

Nice one Virgil. Couldn't have happened to nicer chap.

In any other sport (especially rugby), Boufal's behaviour would never happen because of the discipline and respect to players and their roles. Can you imagine a squabble in a rugby international over who takes conversions/penalties etc?? I can't see how his behaviour shows any passion at all, it's just petulance and playground stuff. Sets no example to kids at all, but then football doesn't generally anyway. Good to see him be first over, but really shouldn't happen in the first place.

Keep Lemina in the damn side

Agree on Long, he'd be handy for last 10

I'm amazed that having gone 0-1 down we've come back like this - fair play to them.

Didn't see that as passion at all. Petulance. Good to see him be first over though. If there are team orders in those situations then I don't think having a squabble about wanting to take it is helpful at all.

Boufal wants to wind his neck in there.....

Have to say pretty happy with that as most of us are. Maybe he's been messing with us all this time, testing our loyalty, and now he'll show that he makes Pochettino look like Steve McLaren.

Honestly don't know what you're saying here. You don't rate Clucas or Sturridge, or you do? Genuine question.

A couple for Sturridge followed by the reigniting of the Sturridge thread and lots of I told you so comments. Admittedly, one would be from me.

Let's hope it's one of two things - a sacking or a vote of confidence from the board.

Please Lord let it be so.

I had quite a strong word with some absolute weapon near me in the Northam last night. Been going for a few years, thinks he's the main man and the best supporter ever. Him and some idiot in front of him started shouting "come on for f***s sake get behind the team. What kind of b*llocks supporters are you" and after this had happened a few times I politely reminded him that actually we were being given nothing to shout about on the pitch. Hopping that if we do drop down he'll bog off and stop annoying everyone around him with his excessive solo loud clapping and singing on his own. Thought this point was relevant when I started writing it.....think it's lost its' way.

Premier League, we're having a laugh.

He can't leap for toffee. At least make an effort when challenging for aerial balls.

Shipping out Redmond would turn this into a very successful window indeed - fingers crossed.

I'm not comfortable with it either, but what will be will be. The club will only have themselves to blame, and us mugs will be back next year regardless.....either looking forward to potential mid-table mediocrity in the PL or a promotion push. Either way, we'll plenty to discuss on here.

Nothing gets the pulse racing like a relegation scrap.
