England never getting the world cup finals despite being one of the few nations with the infrastructure to be able to meet FIFA's ever increasing, over the top demands. Look at the Euros final at Wembley, All the infrastructure in the world doesn't help if our idiot fans give FIFA even the slightes...

Silver Fox Don't know if Stewie Atwell is bent

You can't call gays that anymore etc etc

We can't have Everton getting relegated, they've got a nice new stadium being built.

can I throw in another interesting law of the game that people often don't know? If a game goes to a penalty shoot out and one of the teams has had a red card during the match, the other team has to nominate a player that is excluded from the shoot out so that in case it goes way into sudden death ...

Tossing a coin to decide which end a penalty shootout takes place in club competitions. The home side on the night has already had the advantage 30mins extra to try and score a goal with the majority of the crowd backing them. Should just default to being at the end where the away fans are.

Or the ref knew the rules about yellow cards in the shootout and the commentator didn't and then spent the rest of the shootout taking the Tory MP approach to being wrong by going on about the ref being shit rather than admit he didn't know the rules.

Would caveat that with Terry the Taxis tenure The season actually went ok until about Xmas, and then he left about a month before the end of the season. So it was only really two months of shit with him. One of the last matches I went to before moving up to Leeds was the 6-0 thrashing we got away a...

So I only watched the extra time and penalties in the City game but the commentator told us time and again how City had dominated the game without giving any credit to Real Madrid for their defending-were they lucky or like Palace on Saturday totally committed to keeping the ball out of the net? Ci...

genome Bernardo Silva's penalty might be one of the worst ones I've ever seen

Finally my "keepers should never dive early in shootouts" theory gets results.

Loafer When was last time we had no English teams in the cl Semis? Must have been ages right?

About 5mins ago.

More to the point, why did City sell him? He wanted to leave, or rather he wanted to be playing every week so chose to leave as he wouldn't be playing every week at City. He may have got more game time there this season but he wouldn't have been playing every week or been the main man like he's bee...

Has xG been factored into the magic number calculation? Its the most important stat in football this season.

Franchise FC What pictures of the management team does he have to keep that job ?

I think they really don't want to sack him as his mental health will spiral downwards again if they do and they'll get blamed for the consequences of that.

Given the last few years I'm not sure we should really be lolling at clubs with batshit mental owners seemingly intent on screwing the club into the ground.
That said, £3 billion? Just how could a stadium cost that much unless you're using it for money laundering purposes?

Not sure I'd have brought on Mount to shore up the midfield.

Liverpool are doing that forgetting to score again thing that means Man U will get a breakaway goal at some point in the second half.
Wouldn't put money on Radcliffe turning them around he doesn't exactly have an outstanding track record for it at the other sports teams he's taken over.

Dirk Gently easy ball is to play it to him.

But they rarely do that. There's so many times when he's looking to run in behind early or waiting for a quick cross where they just decide pass the ball around for five mins in the attacking third trying create the perfect scoring chance instead.

Warnock's available isn't he...

Their point about naming the counterparty is impossible; EFL rules don't allow them to be named until they have completed their OADT procedures. As for asking for communication from the buyer, it does seem a bit self important, but I would agree with the sentiment that building a rapport with the f...

Grealish is handy at a tournament though where set pieces can be key. Admittedly if he didn't slow every attack down, keep hold of the ball for too long so he ends up having to try and win a freekick every time we may score more from open play but he does win a lot of freekicks in wide areas and Mag...
