Leeds were way more intense pressing to regain possession than we were

That’s a reasonable point (although wage structures can often quite complex regarding basic plus bits and pieces). However, there is no way that hamza signed a new deal here on 12k per week even if you accept that he had a 50% relegation reduction, £25k is still too low for a PL squad player I think we could deduce from this that the club have a very complex wage reduction system in place for this season. I would offer my idea that the drop off in intensity might be related to financial issues around the end of season add ons but there’s no way that a player would accept a sig reduction in wages without an equally sig promotion bonus being cast in stone and therefore having to be paid. i wonder if some of the players have lost faith in enzo’s system and thinking that they may be looking at a big financial hit if we don’t go up. Of course there are others whose agents will have told them that a fire sale would be excellent for their own pocket.

It’s obvious - he mentions rudkin no one else in football knows who he is

It’s quite astonishing that just a short time after the chelsea arsenal wfl debacle that this happens each team has three kits it can’t be that difficult to sort it out

Yeah - I screwed that joke up didn’t I ? I’m sure that there were some episodes of wacky races that would be quite a good representation of this years championship !

It’s his actual surname his first name is Patent

Wow MOTD didn’t think it was worth mentioning the var penalties …….

His previous deal was 60k his new deal is likely around 40k and probably lower this season with relegation clause amazing innit!

0-2 bayern could win nothing for the first time since ??. Kane 😂

I assumed that it wasn’t allowed in the championship

Gonna be a busy week for the financial guys in the media

Not necessarily it judged that the refs call wasn’t a howler. The defender did make contact with the attacker with an arm on his shoulder as he tried to cut back to recover his poor touch . I reckon you’d find 20% of people would think that’s a pen The var may have felt that he wouldn’t have given it but also that the ref was entitled to call it as he did. Hence no reversal of the on field call. my question would be how the same var protocol can decide it does have to get involved twice at st James’ park earlier

Just need to find another six and we have eleven!

I agree with you If you get in front of the clearance playing the ball then that’s fine but he didn’t - his foot is not in a position to play the ball

Was referencing that neither of them realised that he’d been sent off

Sometimes I wonder what commentators are watching

Var is so crap how will Webb defend that so the ball is irrelevant - you just have to get a leg infront of anyone trying to kick it and that’s a foul ? Since when ??

Their contracts will dictate that and we couldn’t change those my thoughts are still around promotion bonus’ and maybe only some players had agents who were switched on

Pedantically and mathematically- yes but there’s no chance

There is zero chance that we finish below 6th

Especially given that we were down to 13 for most of the period and 12 for a short time but then that is also bound to happen with repetitive penalties which makes it all the more nuts that it lasted to 100 mins

A birthday treat ??

For twenty minutes ! that's nuts can’t be many times that’s happened before

If we can get a loan fee of a £1.5m and half his wages covered then we’re better off doing that but then next summer we’re struggling to get anyone to pay more than £4m

It’s ok - he’s moved on this morning with more important stuff ! i guess we’re all made differently - it does affect me because I am emotionally invested in the club but you learn to pigeon hole over time. What really matters and what doesn’t.
