Shades of World Cup 1970 when England were 2-0 up v Germany in the 1/4 final and Ramsey took off Bobby Charlton 2 mins after they pulled one back then took off Peters (another forward thinking player) and Germany scored their equaliser a minute later! We lost 3-2 (aet).
When will managers understand 'attack is the best form of defence'? By doing what they did they just invite pressure that probably wasn't there beforehand. |

Same here. LFW and Facebook (which is really just endless boring pics of my kids as I have friends & family all over the place - I use it as an online scrapbook really) is all I do.
Cannot be @rsed with X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, tiktok, onlyfans (oh, whooops!) and so on. |

I don't get this social media fixation with him, it's getting really weird and like everyone is bullying in a kind of 'safety in numbers' way.
The guy has had a phenomenal season, banging in goals that we could only dream of and breaking records left, right and centre. He's not a midfielder, defender or goalkeeper and he's not responsible for players in those positions and not responsible for Bayern losing games.
This probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone but one thing I've ascertained over the years during the rise of social media is how fkin' weird people are.

They're all in a bad run of form (especially Leeds... W1 D1 L4.... snigger) so I went for Norwich. But it's the Play-off's so gawd knows.
I remember a few years ago Leeds won the semi final first leg at Derby 1-0 and it was generally considered Leeds would go through. Derby done them 4-2 at Elland Road. Then Derby lost the final (again, snigger) to Villa. |

Used to enjoy it years ago when it was a bit of fun. Me and Mrs Juzzie would watch it (she loved it, way more than me, but no more) from beginning to end and it was great.
Now you have countries that aren't in Europe then you had the whole "vote for our neighbours", then it started becoming political and virtue signalling and so on. Just want to have a break form all that, there's enough of it as it is.
I have no problem with anyone who enjoys it, fair play to that and have a good time. Just not for me anymore. |

Football is no longer a sport, an entertainment. It's a 'results business'. They spent a lot of money and I'd imagine the target was top 6.
No top 6..... bye-bye Manager.
I thinks it's harsh but that's how it is these days. |

A game of cricket turns nasty when one of the officials has enough of the behaviour of a batsman..

Still two more games to play and there must have been a fire drill at Elland Road.
Really sets a bad tone for the play offs.

Superb win, three on the trot. When was the last time that happened?
Finished with same points tally as Watford, who’d have thought that after the first game.
Plymouth survive too and when we played them at LR most of us thought they’d be higher come end of the season.

In a way this year feels worse but they are as bad as each other.
Last season we had a good first half and just had to win a couple of games from end of February but lost and lost and lost and lost and finally got a remarkable win at undefeated-at-home Burnley then away at Stoke. It could all have been wrapped up way before then by just bloody winning a couple of home games.
However... we carried on awful form into the new season and it left Marti with a mountain to climb because of that start that should never have needed to be climbed.
Whereas the job could have been done sooner last year, this year we knew it would go to the wire. |

Totally thick or simply trying it on.
'not guilty' doesn't mean you didn't do it, just that the legal system couldn't prove you did.
This is why in Scotland they have the 'not proven' verdict, so;
- Guilty: means it was proven you did it
- Not guilty: means it was proven you didn't do it
- Not proven: means you are still acquitted as it couldn't be proven either way but still casts that there's a good chance you did do it. |

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but I think it was something to do with Nigel Spackman getting sacked as Barnsley Manager but multiple people reporting it without realising/looking that it had already been mentioned..... |

None of those 'needed' relegation. They got relegated 'cos they were shyte. Yes, it may have given them the platform to restructure, clear out players, start again but that was because it was necessary.
To actual want relegation to do any of that is bonkers, IMO, and there's no guarantee whatsoever it will work and you could be consigned down there for a long time.

Just have it as a 'marketing kit'. I think that's what happened the first time round in the early 90's, never intended for use at a game. |
