If they are going to change the rules, I'd rather they allowed the keeper to come charging off his line as soon as a kick taker stops or stutters or deliberately slows down in his run up.

timshorts

So when it hits the post bounces onto the back of the keeper and into the net, that won't be a goal?

Changin g a rule that doesn't need changing seems very wengerish.

Another shite penalty. This time from Spain. Ha. Sure they will be able to fall over for a few more.

Would you prefer to have a bit more time to get served, enjoy a drink and talk about the 1st half before returning to the stand for the 2nd half? No. For a good part of the season, the weather is miserable, with freezing temperatures made worse by wind and rain. 10 minutes was fine. They still have...

Netherlands v France, probably. Wales will lose and I don't really want to listen to 90+ more minutes of how wonderful England women are after the previous performance. Start danielle vdd. Please. It's like benching Gareth Bale. Don't care about the other thing, but I suppose I'd like Chelsea to be ...

Nixon says Norwich want £20m for Sargent.

Also links us with Sam Johnstone in case Trafford goes.

That seems fair enough with current prices.

It's got nothing at all to do with who finished where. According to Palace the contract they had with Textor proved they haven't broken the rules. The rule states that you only break it if the person involved in the multi club has influence, according to Palace the contract with Textor was 43%* and...

Wilson to West ham will be fine.

Howe kept wheeling him out to try and get some landmark goal (100 for united, maybe), but he never looked like scoring - not even close. Osula is likely now ahead of him in the pecking order. I thought he might end up somewhere like stoke or Norwich for a year.

Newcastle missed out on Joao Pedro from Brighton, gone to Chelsea for over 50 million on a 7 year deal.

Good. Chelsea and Pedro seem made for each other. I can't really see how he could have passed Eddie howe's "no dickheads" rule.

Unfortunately you probably won't hear from the FA as generally they are under resourced and have to prioritise what they deal with, and some County FA's (i.e. Sussex down where I am) are pretty shocking at responding in my experience (Surrey FA who I mainly deal with are thankfully quite good, but ...

Maybe millionaire Jamie Vardy will make a similar gesture at Fleeetwood ? No too much arrogance and solicitors bills to pay

He was only there for a year. The equivalent would be his playing for Stockbridge park steels.

Not at all. Not discounting him. But the reality is Lampard, Scholes, De Bruyne were the main men in incredible teams. That elevates them for me.

Quite.

Alonso made him look good, but didn't get similar plaudits bexause he was Spanish not scouse. I'd pick Alonso over him any day.

Paris fc 3rd looks the best of those for an away kit.

I doubt that we will get Liverpool away as that will be earmarked for a midweek fixture. We are more likely to get arsenal/Chelsea away.

There are Chelsea players all over the place, it wouldn't be my first choice as a young player requiring first team action. Strasbourg? Meh. Have you been to strasbourg?

Hard to judge. He's gone from one club that I can't stand to another. I don't like him. I'm pretty sure that Barcelona will work out his defensive issues.

I had it in my head that Southampton did it to Nigel Adkins, but when I looked it up, he lasted until January.
