Re: HAPPY MONDAY!. FOREST, points deduction?

They have to give the same as they did with Everton's 1st charge. 10 points reduced to 6 on appeal. Everton will get 10 points for the 2nd time with no reduction on appeal.

Re: Controversial comment

I tend to agree really, the likes of Forest, Everton, Brentford and Palace really aren't that great. Every season sees 6 or 7 clubs who aren't that great. In fact it could be argued that once you take the top 6 or 7 out of the equation the rest of the division isn't that great in any particular sea...

Re: Reading FC x Wycombe Vultures debacle...

Meant to add (cannot edit) - A single PL player transfer could quite literally fund a lower league club for years upon years, it's wrong to witness a 153-year-old club crumble because of a questionable owner. It just doesn't sit right with me - surely changes are needed? That is business though. Th...

Re: Kit opinions

I believe that socks are now designated in the rules of both the PL and EFL (at least in the Championship) as having to be a single colour with, at most, a 12mm band set at the bottom of the 'turnover' at the top of the sock (no idea what that part is really called).

Re: against the run of play

And even when we do equalise it is ruled out for a marginal free-kick call instead of the usual 'Let's see what VAR say' attitude from the ref. Then there is a penalty shout after, to be fair, minimal contact, that isn't given despite similar contact being seen as enough to chalk off Cullen's goal.
