    hard done by? deliberate handball, push on a ref and entering var area.
    Seems just about right.

    ... hrad done by because a player and manager lost their heads and scuppered their performance ... not by the refereeing decisions ...

    Anyway, I'm keeping out of this, it has its advantages being a lower league team fan. <laugh>

    I reckon you will bounce straight back up if you do go down.

    The championship is split in two halves now, the bottom half can't afford to compete, some of the top half are future prem relegation fodder. The Man City v Burnley game demonstrated the gulf.

    Burnley look like Barcelona in the championship, go away to City, who are having an off season, dropping points and are made to look like an under 15s team.

    Everton even in their current state would finish 1st in the championship.

    Lol ironically enough not sure i would have given that as handball. I haven't had a proper view but it looked to me like willian had his hand tucked in and by his side.

    Obviously @Treble calling this one a handball straight up

    Was at Swansea v Bristol yesterday and had my youngest son twittering alongside me asking how do I think they'd do back in the premier league etc.

    I answered they'd finish dead last with about five points, tops.

    And that two of the three relegated clubs this year would finish in the top two in the Champioonship ( Everton and Saints) and the third Brournemouth, would reach the play off final at least.

    Great, competetive league the Championship but the difference in quality is ****ing enormous.

    See this is where you're wrong Bobster. It's not only about where your arm/hand is. It's about the distance, the movement of the arm, and what happened in real time not slowmo which is why I disagreed with the others and why this one was nailed on. He clearly moved his arm towards the ball to knock it away.

    Fulham were a digrace and I'm shocked you're defending their heinous actions. If they weren't gonna finish above Liverpool I'd be calling for a points deduction tbh.

    I think thats a big part of it. I guess i will ask Willian to cut his arm off next time (this is a joke, i said on first view, i haven't seen another yet). Proximity of course matters but if my defenders come out like this even if they are 1mm away and it smacks their hand, that's a handball

    Not sure i ever defended fulhams subsequent action, i was just commenting on the hand ball. I accept your apology you're welcome mate
