Re: Leeds fan jailed for attacking Eddie Howe

You've got to weigh up the sentence without being enraged that it happened at a sacred football ground. Offences are treated more harshly if they're at a football ground. If this happened on the street, in a pub, at a gig, wherever. It's dealt with by a community sentence, fine etc. So yes, it is o...

Re: Why not play our strongest team in the cup and go for it?

I Still think BPF is a better keeper than Muric. More dependable. Can also easily play the VK way. Better at claiming crosses, certainly better at corners with a packed box. Better shop stopper. The only two things against him - 1 - he was 2nd behind Pope... 2 -VK signed Muric. Yes, those are the o...
