25/26 - Non Saints Games

[Gloucester Saint]

Great win for Leeds. With the easiest run in and better GD, they should be OK from here. Farke doing a great job.

1 from three out of Spurs, West Ham and Forest.

Sadly, short of a Trump appearing as JC, miracle for Burnley, it's just the 1 of the 3.

A nice moment of enjoying 2 of them going though. Thanks for that.

I fancied seeing Spur's and West Ham's new stadiums as I'd been to the old ones but there's a possibility I might have to wait another season or so to do both. What a shame..

If you do get to go to West Ham invest in some Opera glasses, especially if you end up on the upper deck of the away fans: you’ll be closer to your house than the pitch! 🤪

Nasty injury and if it isn’t fully healed probably out of the WC as well https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c98mqrpz50vo

Take a risk too early and could be out 12 months instead.

Chelsea away penultimate game for Spuds, can you imagine 🤣
 

10 years since they officially stopped them winning the Prem too.

Without making light of a bad injury which is terrible for the player, but it seems as though the stars are aligning for Spurs relegation. 

Also with Leeds pretty close to safety, that's two promoted clubs surviving. It shows it can be done with the right signings and decisions.

The whole hair pull red card thing is stupid.

It's stupid from Martinez, I can't get my head around why any player would do something that daft, especially with VAR around. It's in the same boat as those ridiculous, leaning in pseudo headbutts, like the incident with BBD at Newcastle last season. You're basically trying to get sent off for violent conduct, without actually being violent.

After being whacked in the face(not violent conduct) reaching to grab hold of something was probably instinctual. Still a bad modern law invention.
