Manning gets a game for Swansea and wins a penalty with an outrageous dive. Doubtless though, in the code of ‘professional football’ he was ‘entitled to go down’.
It’s increasingly rare anyone gets booked for it and the reward hugely outweighs the risk. The referees are generally useless bald fat blokes 50 yards from play too so it makes sense to try.
Just seen Luton score against the Scum, fielding their £72 million misfit keeper who looks like the fat schoolboy who was always the last pick in the playground, I'd have saved it without stretching...
He had to do quite a lot to get out the way of the ball. If Luton’s keeper wasn’t even worse they’d have a huge chance.
I see Seb Polter has had a mare for Fortuna Sittard against Ajax today, an own goal to give Ajax the lead and sent off in injury time for 'serious foul play'...
Really impressed with Fernandes, as a player and very eloquent in a second language talking sensibly about the game, and in a pre match interview with Lineker.
Seems a bit pointless. Might as well give him the rest of the season to try and turn it around when there will be more available managers if you choose to get rid. Not that I’ll lose any sleep for the bloke.
