Roof should be sloped the other way to funnel the crowd noise onto the pitch.

chekhov

Disappointing.

chekhov

Funny how folk like to describe a professional footballer. Appalling? Terrible? Not up to the standard required, yes, but he’s self-evidently a good footballer.

We weren't in the EPL last season, so it's a moot point.

I’m loving your use of “moot point”.

chekhov

Anyone got an inkling as to what position he plays?

chekhov

What happens to the old balls?

chekhov

Yes from me.

chekhov

Isn’t the right description, troughing?

chekhov

Surely only brothers in arms if they play for the same team.

chekhov

Crazy. 6 minutes it took. It’s a farce.

chekhov

I’m so biased against Manchester City that I’m unable to form an objective opinion. Any decision going against them is okay by me.
What I can say is that, bearing in mind the penalty decision they got awarded was dodgy at best, things seem to have evened themselves out.

chekhov

Incroyable!

Gutless, aren't they.

So sad to see.

It’s a shame because no one wants to see Chelsea winning.

chekhov

Man Utd: not very good.

VAR correctly overturns pen. No booking for diving so why didn’t it restart with a corner?

Not necessarily a dive, particularly if Onana touched the player after making contact with the ball, which I think he did if only very slightly.

chekhov

How good is Maatsen? He’s really stepped up a level.

Charlton beat Wycombe 1-0 so it's them v Orient. Also, Nathan Jones is a clown

Bizarre pitchside antics from him at the end. If he carries on like that he’s going to end up with a heart attack. Quite a contrast to Dyche’s touchline demeanour.

chekhov

Have you been to strasbourg? Not a place I'd describe as meh at all. You could easily live the other side of the rhine if you don't like France. Beautiful area. Exactly. Also the opportunity to learn the language and experience a different culture. It’s a shame for us but could be a shrewd move for...

chekhov

And what prevents the free kick from being taken and the same incident happening in the Forest goalmouth? It was an accident that happens in the course of playing football. If there was no VAR and the lino doesn't give the offside and the accident happens, the same people berating VAR (I don't like...

chekhov

Sunderland players celebrating on the pitch, a bit premature? I’d have them off the pitch and focusing on the final.

chekhov

The bloke on co comms (not McAnuff) talks a lot of waffle.

chekhov

Sets up a grandstand finish!

chekhov

C’mon Stockport!

chekhov

Great atmosphere.

chekhov

No way can that be judged deliberate. Crazy decision.

chekhov

It’s all Arsenal at the moment. Donnaruma just made one of the best saves I’ve ever seen.

Yamal is so so fun to watch.

That shot that hit the post. Ridiculous.

chekhov

It’s all Barca. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Inter go up the other end and score.

It’s brilliant

Penalty for Barca. Overturned. Attacking football not often seen!

chekhov

Quite a match is this. Anyone watching or are you all still at the parade?

The corner quadrant has a yard radius and the ball only needs to overhang the line, so it can be over a yard. Sorry!

Having researched the subject it seems you are right.

chekhov

Corners have to be exempted because it is rare they are taken from the goal line - they're usually taken from a yard off the goal line.) As we’re being pedantic it’s worth saying corners are never taken as far away as 1 yard from the goal line. Maybe a foot plus the width of the ball at most. Other...

It’s called “putting on a brave face”.

Brilliant kit.

People can say they don’t like the purple but in reality there have always been different colours.

I think this years looks very smart, last years was honking, and the mix of colours on the 22/23 kit really nice.

Funny. I thought it was an abomination (the 1992 kit).

chekhov

I don’t ever think there has been a fixed, default definition of “claret”. Haven’t our shirts always varied in shades of burgundy over the years?

chekhov

Don’t really want to watch Leeds celebrating to be honest.

chekhov

Penalty this time!

chekhov

Clear peno not given.

chekhov

Onana does an (old) Trafford.

chekhov

Good game but the commentary is dire!

chekhov

Honestly the way the commentator and pundits go on about Man u and how bad they’re playing. Just shut up and describe the football!

chekhov

Lots of players make bad challenges, could be something pre-empted it or he’s just having an off day. Anyway it deserved a red card, and the super slow-mo makes it look extra bad.
Still a brilliant player.

But his saves stop goals!

And his throwing out is actually pretty good.

chekhov

“He’s always a necessity and will be for an eternity.” Eh, what’s Drury on about??

Last minute chance for pne. Nothing comes of it.

Leeds edgy.

Leeds have good goal disallowed for offside.
