No, the delay was partly trying to punt Sage back to Lens, and partly cos Frank signalled interest. It's nailed on Frank |

Funny story, I've had a rollercoaster today.
Basically had a little bit of a connection into Palace through a friend of a friend of a friend who said 3rd hand that they'd lost faith in Sage after 2 games, and already had Dyche lined up to replace him.
At the time Carrick was 2/1 and Sage was 5/1 next manager to sacked. So I filled my boots.
Has put me in the awkward position of cheering on Utd.
Felt like a real race against time vs Carrick, especially when they didn't pull the trigger on Sunday night.
Utd obvs fired Carrick this morning, and I was like ah well.
Can you imagine how angry I was when they fired Sage 30 minutes later? I was absolutely ragging.
Fast forward 30 minutes later and I get a ping from Paddy Power - they've done a justice payout and settled it as a winner!
What a rollercoaster |

It's weird cos on the one hand I think the subject is too serious to turn into tittle tattle, but on the other hand I think it's important abusers are exposed.
I think David Jason is a historical thing that he let his house to a mate while he was away filming Frost and said mate was in fact the leader of a paedo ring who used it as a base of operations. Jason wasn't mentioned in the trial and there's no insinuation that he knew, but it will always come up if you search him.
My sister works in TV and met him once and said he was very pleasant, bar odd low key homophobic comments he kept making.
Ross had a penchant for flashing his genitals early in his career but I doubt it's him, he's attached at the hip to his wife.
Fielding, well. I don't want to cast aspersions but I was quite into the scene we now call "indie sleaze" and female friends telling me Fielding was hanging out in the women's toilets at indie clubs happened at least 3 times. I also saw him in a restaurant in Kentish Town with a girl who was very very young, but hey they could've been relatives |

We can't apply the burden of criminal proof to every interaction though can we?
I used to work in a work place where two senior men had a very, very bad reputation which ranged from improper comments to pinning people against walls and touching them against their will, and threatening their employment status to be silent.(both eventually lost those jobs, but continue to occupy senior positions in the industry, one is regularly on the news giving his opinions, which turns my stomach).
Young women who started were warned to avoid being alone with them. But they're innocent until proven guilty? Should we not have warned them to avoid besmirching their good name?
We can't imprison people based on what we've seen revealed so far. Doesn't mean I wanna watch a TV show with him in |

Yeah, the key thing is from what I can scrape from these charts, neither of these metrics have any correlation to league position, and since aerial duels also includes attacking set pieces it's actually borderline meaningless as an insight into defensive prowess (also the majority of them fall into a pretty narrow band for it) |

John Torode has a show on ITV with his wife, so his TV career is very much not over.
I also think that is a slightly disingenious example to bring up in a thread about rape and sexual assault |

I agree. I looked it up and Jimmy's "only" won 58.9% of his aerial duels apparently, which is baffling to me
But both Edwards and Dunne are in the top 10% in the league for xG and actual goals conceded whilst on the pitch, which is the more important stat [Post edited 10 Nov 10:01]

He was very rusty on Tuesday, but we needed to get those minutes into him.
Reaped the rewards today.. delighted with his impact. What a pass for the goal |

I'm sorry, I'm usually the happiest of clappers but Vale was abysmal today, and Varane at fault twice for their goal - first for the awful leave, then fair play he catches the guy and...bounces off him. He has to bring him down.
The frustrating thing win Varane is he's mostly pretty good, but his errors are often catastrophic |

A lot of Chair's touches last night were fairly rough, but he's been out for ages, and you gotta get those minutes into him somehow. Confident he'll sharpen up |

Two points very much dropped, but last year we probably lose that
Were really missing Madsen last night, just for that killer little pass. I don't know whether Burnley maybe actually defended well, but we couldn't quite create that proper clear cut chance. A lot of fans demanding players shoot when they were surrounded.
Disappointing effort from some of them. I dislike singling players out but early in the game there was a ball put over the top for Vale, who didn't even try to chase it. The ball died on impact and trickled along. Maybe he wouldn't have gotten there, but man, you have to buy a ticket right.
Still, it looks like a really weak league and we've still got the sauce I reckon. The issues from last night are fixable, but mostly through sports science which hasn't been our friend |

I think the context here is that OP started the match thread and is thrilled we didn't lose so his name isn't tarnished |

He looked ok, but clearly not that comfortable on the left, cut back in every single time |
