    I think you'll find that the number of possessions each side has must be almost the same....the length of them can be very different.

    They don't need excuses if they win things!
    But I'm not excusing anything. We are not going to win the league because we are not good enough. We've lost too many matches. But the order we've lost them in doesn't matter and doesn't change which players ought to have been selected.

    Or to put it another way, the best way to return us to mediocrity is to over react to a few bad results.

    Particular measures of possession are not "loopholes" .

    Before this so-called over-reaction when was the last time we went 4 league games without a win?

    Pretty sure Mike "****" Dean and friends are UK citizens

    She's hardly prim, either...

    But surely we could ask Sadiq Khan to revoke Mike Dean's citizenship as he's a member of the PGMOL?

    Steve Rotheram is mayor of Liverpool and the surrounding area, so maybe he could round up a few horses and an equivalent number of bridles for Wirral resident Mike "****" Dean...
