Yeah it's terrible to see these minnow teams outmatched in group stages of the big competitions, I admire the Mexican intent, tried to win from the first whistle these amateurs just played for a horrible draw which wouldn't help them at all. That's the Mexico that are ranked higher than your belove...

Pickford has kicked the ball out five times and it's gone to a white shirt five times.

Great distribution.

Instead of starting a thread to tell us how boring you find it, why didn't you start one to stimulate a "cracking football debate"?

All the laws of the game say is "If, in the opinion of the referee". For example, what is deliberate handball? No-one can say exactly what it is. That's the problem, likewise a foul. And when is a player interfering with play with regards to offside? That's why there is nothing in the laws of the g...

And apart from Maradonna or a blockon the line why would anyone intend to handball it?

By that logic no handball would ever be a foul.

No-one can define what handball is.

That's why it can never work properly in football.

All of those things are defined in the Laws of the Game.

I was torn between choosing Griezmann and Cavani as captain. Went for the former in the end. Cavani has done okay. Unlucky not to have scored maybe. Why wouldn't you have picked Cavani and then switched to Griezmann after Cavani failed to score today? When you can switch mid-round the optimal strat...

Top Claret wrote:I agree Tarks could be off if we sign Dawson. If Dawson comes we will have 4 centre backs.
Tarks would fund the signing of both Jay and Dawson. We would also have money left over to finance an up and coming young centre half to give us additional cover

We don't need to sell anyone to fund signings.

I can explain. You can get 18/1 on England to win, that means if you put a tenner on it, you'll lose a tenner.

Really ? On what basis ? Would be good to see how with the players I have quoted plus Dyche’s increased salary plus the expected performance bonuses for finishing 7th how that could equate to only a £6m increase. http://www.financialfairplay.co.uk/latest-news/premier-league-update-their-ffp-rules" ...

Also the only Premier league club that doesn't pay it's directors according to that report.

That would depend on how you measure success, and that is down to the individual. Personally I would say it is sustainability.

Time will tell, but the only truly successful foreign owners are the ones with a bottomless pit of wealth.

When you're friends with someone a long time it's natural that you share the same opinions and views with them.

I don't understand why people take issue with those that don't like foreign owners. It's got nothing to do with xenophobia, but the fact that they have no love of the team they are buying, have little or no knowledge of that team, or the league. They are mostly either on an ego trip, with every cha...
