    We were ideal for 4-2-3-1 today, with Jota, Jones, Ox behind Bobby, but switching as we did under Rogers. As said, Fab and hendo did loads of dm interceptions anyway - they just kept promptly giving the ball away afterward.

    Especislly when you compare it to the pen chelsea didn’t get where Skipp literally rugby tackles the guy to the floor and somehow ref gave a free kick to spurs?! And then it wasn’t even reviewed by var

    i was totally against Var but if we were going to have it the one thing i thought it might be beneficial for was the grappling at dead ball situations which it turns out is the one thing the useless ****ers don't stick their nose into .:headbang:

    It did for about 2 months then everyone moaned was ending up with too many pens. Don’t you remember England getting load of pens from it in the WC? Then the prem decided didn’t look great and refs just stopped giving rhem

    It was the only way Kane was going to win the golden boot though. Not that anyone would know, we never hear about it :emoticon-0112-wonde

    That Golden boot is pride of place next to the 1966 WC trophy and England second place finish in the Euros thank you very much.

    There's still a lot of good stuff on the BBC.
    And they piss the Tories off - that alone is worth the licence fee.

    BBC is worth the licence fee just for the repeats of 90's Top Of The Pops, IMO. And Death In Paradise. And This Country.

    Thought that prize clown Richards was at his best indignation and effrontery again last night. "That was definitely the most diabolical decision of the season!", about the Jota penalty. Mustn't have seen when Jota himself was wiped out at Spurs, or indeed the non-sending-off of Kane in the same match. And being City, we'll presume he'd simply forgotten Edison clearing out Fraser, and the ludicrous 'handball' they got against Wolves. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Thinking of the second goal again. Robbo hit ox for the goal v Brentford and he played one in the first half that ox hit side netting so maybe its a bit mean to say robbo didn't mean it. He seemed to be looking for that type of ball for ox for last couple of games.

    Also england were gifted loads of pens by a "cannot touch anyone" stance and rampant gifts. It also helped that our lumbering CBs could just go attack it and then get a pen if they were touched.

    Kanes goals:

    Tunisia:
    Corner: stones gets free header and kane taps in follow up. Nobody allowed block runs means easy get a header .1
    Corner: Maguire heads it on and kane taps in. 2

    Panama:
    Penalty: Lingard was taken down and kane socres. 3
    Penalty: scores after being fouled slightly. 4
    Ball flicks off his heel off loftus cheek shot and he is credited. 5

    Belgium:
    England outplayed, england make lots of changes and go out to lose lol. no kane goals

    Colombia:
    Penalty: kane flops on a corner and is given a pen which he scores. 6

    Sweden:
    no kane goals

    Croatia
    No kane goals

    The thing is the pens dried up didn't they? kane is the guy who got the really weak team who gave him a spawny hat trick and when you get one in any tournament you'll be in the shout for golden boot.


    I can recall teams being in trouble from stones and maguire as they were not allowed touch anyone. it hasn't been reffed anything like it since!

    kane has his legendary status off his personal awards and no team medals bar losers ones.

    I like richards. I want to see more of him and less of neville etc.

    What disappointed me here was not jota call. They did the defensive line for LFC and showed a giant gap between robertson and vvd on that chance palace had where the guy got in off robbo and tried to chip robbo.

    At 2-0 up and under a bit of pressure we were still far to far apart and the bbc analysis didn't pull us up on it. High light ok fine but its the gaps between players that s the issue. The ball is on our right side and robbo is way way off out on the left so he is never in the right spot really.

    I thought that watching the highlights last night. The two crosses to Ox were carbon-copies of the movement by both players, so yeah you were being mean. <ok>

    To be fair to him - when the other two berks were trying to claim it was a conscious attempt to even-out the Ederson mistake he called it nonsense.

    I watched the last 15 minutes or so on my mate's phone. He's a Gladbach supporter, so fairly neutral. He thought it was a pen, I didn't (though he did say it wasn't clear enough to overturn the onfield decision). So I can understand Palace feeling aggrieved, but it's hardly the most diabolical decision of the season (unfortunately).

    Bloody hell - we got away with that. Which is a shame because the first 35 mins was arguably the best football we've played all season.

    But f*ck it! We deserved a bit of luck after the sh*t we've endured over the past 1.5 years.
