    Why did WBA change one manager for another who does exactly the same,except the new one talks a lot!

    This whole Twitter profile's gone.
    Viewing it via an internet archive, it's claiming to be the actual ballboy showing the damage Foster did to his hand, for those that missed it.
    Looks fairly convincing, though there's not a lot of previous content, but it is all about Spurs.
    Interesting to see if this goes anywhere.

    Gary Megson's said that he didn't think that Foster took any longer than Lloris did over kicking the ball out. <laugh>
    I take it he's going into politics when they bring in a new manager.

    I'm not a big fan of rugby, but football could learn a lot from the way it's officiated.
    Timekeeping, players respecting the officials and the transparency of having them wear mics and cameras would all help.
    Teams would still timewaste, of course, as it's as much about disrupting flow as it is running down the clock.

    Rugby is a game where a smooth and fast game flow
    is both desired and encouraged. Repeated infringement
    intended to slow down the pace of the opposition at
    rucks/mauls means somebody will be spending 10 mins
    off the pitch.

    Poorly executed scrums are a way of time wasting,
    but again refs lose patience quickly and start
    awarding free/penalty kicks (and if too frequent :
    see above) .

    But Mike Jones quickly lost patience yesterday. He waved at Foster and everything.

    Just watched the Rondon goal again.

    Good grief.

    Yeah, he ****ed it up. But he’s only 21, he’ll learn,

    More concerning for me is our continual failure to break down these type of defenses. It seems that if the opposition neutralise Eriksen, we’re ****ed for an answer

    The pace down the outside has now gone ( mostly) and unless we find some other creative outlet other than Eriksen, it will continue to be a big problem.

    Seems he only scored because he miskicked his shot which trickled past Loris who was waiting for a shot coming at him!

    Might be so, Smithy. But Dele ****ed up by being far too casual, and Sanchez should have cleared the ball.

    Perhaps Pochettino should turn the tables.

    Park the bus at Wembley, and let the opposition
    have it in their own half only. The quality of PL
    players is such that they're bound to make at
    least one eff-up and get punished (just like
    they hope of Spurs) .

    I've just seen it again as well. As I said yesterday, if we're going to concede, then at least make the opposition work for it.

    With sides like WBA that would make for a cure for insomnia!

    Plus our fans would never go for it..
