That wide angle photo was so ambiguous. There's so many factors that prevent anyone coming to a definitive decision one way or another. There's a reason we don't sit the linesmen up in the director's seats ffs.

I'd love to know how the fvck that meets the threshold of 'clear and obvious error'.

Wouldn't it be better for then to use the camera on the opposite side?

I've got to the Premier League with Colchester. We're finally redeveloping the stadium so we have to play elsewhere for 12 months. In their infinite wisdom, the board have picked Stamford Bridge! Not Ipswich or Southend or even Norwich. Imagine being from a small town and having to commute into London for the football

They're still fully rattled from last season.

This will be the new 'cheated the league to get a stadium for free' shite.

I don't know why Blackburn Rovers popped up on my Facebook feed but all three of their kits are beautiful. Made by Macron. Home kit is a nice, basic kit with a smart collar, away kit is black with red pinstripes and third kit is baby pink with a white pattern which I assume is a map of Blackburn. A nice selection. I wish we had Macron.

Where was this when Kenneth Zohore was playing?

Vestergaard and Faes. We've fallen a long way from Big Wes and Huth

I'm trying to place it. Is that the current site of the shopping centre with the police station in the top left?

Brighton have activated the £40m release clause in Rutter's contract. Feels like they're entering the second phase of the boom/bust cycle.

Watford fans are very idiot

OK, Roman Godess riding a mecha horse down the river. That would have been a bit cool if the horse's galloping speed matched the speed of the little boat thing

That's going in the hall of shame with that gold 14/15 shirt, the weird grey/yellow away kit from 13/14 and that beige and maroon shite from the other year. Absolutely grim

This is the worst shout in this thread. Even worse than the guy who suggested Sir Alex Ferguson does it via Skype.

If we're in the clear for 23/24 and our punishment just pertains to 22/23 as has been speculated, surely we've got some strong mitigation to avoid punishment. We sold an important player for £70m, replaced him for £15m. Let go of one of our most important players ever and didn't replace him because we couldn't afford the wages. Also, after an unprecedented period of success for the club where every player and agent worked hard to take the club for everything they had, we were still adjusting to a budget that doesn't include European football money. This isn't an overnight process but no one can look at our dealings and say we had our head in the sand. We were facing it head on. This careful (some say negligent) lack of investment meant we got relegated, had valuable players leave on a free and others sold for less than their market value. Any further punishment would just be egregious.

But if we did it, it would be a step too far. The league would have to clamp down on things like this....if we did it.

I know what you mean. The exception is Barcelona's shirt. Even after all these years, it still feels weird to see a sponsor on their shirt.

Even if Trestellar formed a football club, they still wouldn't take him off our hands. He's here until next summer (barring a new contract; which I wouldn't put past the club).

Or it could be the catalyst to foster some team spirit in rhe face of adversity similar to the effect Deeney Day had, fingers crossed.

Imagine having to explain why you signed off a deal to pay this bum £80000/week for two years.
