Take a look back
Cast your mind back to the start of the season. The first six fixtures - Man City (world champs), Villa, Spurs, Forest, ManU, Newcastle. Robbed by VAR at Forest so 1 point and 15 goals conceded Also a game behind the rest because Luton’s ground wasn’t good enough. What a difference 3 points at that ...

Re: Last nights linesman in the Beehole end half
I think that this has caused and will continue to cause significant injuries because both forwards and defenders (inc. keeper) will make desperate “lunges”/tackles in a 50/50 situation. Also what happens if the chasing defender chops down the forward in a one-on-one goal opportunity I.e. last defend...

Many deals are agreed “in principle” and are left unsigned (especially loans of fringe players) until the selling club are confident that their first team squad is complete and not impacted by recent long-term injuries etc.
