Rival watch

I told you Cavani was a good buy! He scores great goals and misses easy ones!!! Probably saved his manager"s job!!!!!!?
 
Kicking an opponent is one of the offences that is punished by a penalty. There is no mention of how hard the kick has to be.
No, but I thought kicking an opponent has to be considered by the referee to be impeding the action of an opponent, careless, reckless or using excessive force. I did not realize any kind of contact (no matter how miniscule) such as a tap on the ankle, must be punished by a direct free kick (or penalty). If that is the case, the rule needs changing.

The rule doesn't say anything about impeding an opponent. It does include the careless etc wording. A pedant might argue that a deliberate small kick wasn't a foul as it couldn't be careless. The Laws need a massive rewrite in my opinion.
 
i switched the goons game on with Wolves winning 1-0 and the goons scored immediately, i immediately turned it back over and normal service was resumed.

We need to be right up for it next week - a match where form goes out of the window is exactly what they need right now and we must be prepared for that and show no mercy.

Not sure if this belongs on this thread but I wonder what all the Wenger out brigade think now.

Our problems were and are deeper than Wenger, but Wenger was still a massive problem and should have been replaced several years earlier. The rot started with him, and a bunch of the main players who have been letting us down right now - nearly 3 years after he's left - are players that were signed under his tenure.

This mess has been in the making for a long while now.
