Your lot shat themselves in that opening 30 minutes, proper rabbit in the headlights stuff. You reminded me of those bottlers Arsenal tbh.
Whereas the Harlem Globe Trotters aka the Entertainers served up a massive 4 attempts on goal. A pea roller, 2 decent efforts and a tap in.
Yes I'd love one, I'm after 2 tbh. Only got 2 games sorted for the new year. Bit of **** season for me and games so far
The FA is a laughing stock ... please log in to view this image Gary Lineker ✔ @GaryLineker Is there any point to the @FA appeals committee? Even when the referee is blatantly wrong they uphold the decision.

... I won't mind him notching a consolation ... Jokes aside - there really is no point in the appeal process ... the Rojo tackle against Palace with the same ref that redcarded Vardy was shocking; how Barkley escapes a straight red for that is beyond me? ... likewise the Sissoko challenge in the Spurs vs Burnley game ... how the FA can possibly think that anyone is really going to 'respect' them and their officials whislt they continue to bury their heads in the sand in regard to such incidents and the complete inconsistency is laughable ... When it was first mooted I was dead against video reffing in footie - now I'm 1005 behind it ... if it had been available I think Vardy would have got a yellow and the others would have been reds ... Vardy getting a 3 match ban whislt the others are free to carry on playin on is farcical and makes a mockery of the game...
Rojo should have gone after 20 minutes at Goodison as well, a challenge way worse than Barkley's I was at the game on Monday and in fairness the challenge looked innocuous in real time. The Vardy one looked different from whichever angle you viewed it, contentious. They can't apply a retrospective red to Barkley as the referee saw it and gave him a yellow, them's the rule mate. I've always been behind the use of a video ref, the arguments against are a complete nonsense imo
I'm against it. I like the controversy involved in football, call me old fashioned but **** off with a virtual ref.
Think we've had this debate before mate... How do you stop the game? Does the ball need to be out of play? If not how is the game fairly restarted? Assuming the ball must be dead is there a time limit? Can the play go on for 5-10 minutes before it's pulled back? If any card offences are commited in the time period talked about above are they then taken away if the previous decision is altered? Whose decision is it to review? Officials or managers? It works brilliantly in other sports where there are natural breaks but that isn't the case with football. Plenty of people are always saying how it needs to come but I've yet to see a clear plan that addresses all the potential problems imo.
