Too many late teen/early 20s players getting contracts in my opinions, couple deserve them and stand a chance of first team but others are just making up numbers and blocking game Time in under 21 football for the younger lads. 

I suspect that we just need bodies and they'll be fine on the bench in League One

I agree.  But that isn't what I was saying. 

No I totally agree with what you said though, Hull will have at best split their preparations 50:50 between Soton and Boro, Boro knew they would be facing Hull if this happened and prepared exclusively for them. Just isn't fair for Hull at all.

For the integrity of the competition, they should have just promoted Hull.   it doesn't feel right that Middlesbrough get a stab at the final.  They will have had a disproportionate amount of time to prepare against a known opposition. Something Hull won't have had the benefit of.   

No chance that the sponsors and broadcasters would accept their biggest game of the season not being played. Harsh on Hull but there was zero chance that they were cancelling the game altogether. 

Hahahaha wow they got ****ed harder than we did I'd say. Absolute joke for the fans though, horrible situation to do it less than a week before the game.

Didn't he scored against West Germany in the '82 WC ? Algeria won 2-1 from memory. A massive upset. 

Yeah and the fallout from the following match that Austria and West Germany deliberately left at 1-0 to ensure both of them went through at Algeria's expense is both the reason that my dad a) warned me that Germany was a country of cheats before I moved here and b) almost all competitions now play the last game of a group or league stage at the same time.

There it is.

 

Also, tell me you’re North African without telling me you’re North African. What a goal.

He's the son of a legendary Algerian player Lakhdar Belloumi - my (Algerian) dad swears that he was the best player he's seen in the flesh.

He wouldn't come here, but Danny Röhl is on the outs at Rangers, I would 100000% take him.

It is a foul, but when you see the way that arsenal has pushed the limit of what can be done to opposing players in the box this season, it's really shit for them to be given the benefit of the doubt in the opposite direction too. 

youri i need one more wondergoal from you lad

so funny for a player who has been with us for 3 years and has been relegated 3 times to say that

he even missed out on the promotion inbetween

Subs from Atletico were a disaster but I mean, what can you do when you have at least one penalty not called and god knows how many yellows on Gabriel.

Why are there so many more fan shots at arsenal than any other ground? 

Or does it just seem like it because they nearly always look like bellends?

because there's nothing on the pitch worth showing

Referee is killing this game, every time someone falls over he blows

that seems to be the only remarkable thing about this arsenal side; they're on for a CL and a PL and all i see them do is foul and get away with it

you only have to see how excited their fans get when they get a corner because their team gets away with murder on them

if he goes down on the first grab, he gets a penalty there i think

looks like atletico are doing what man city did and are just not pressing, arsenal doesn't really know what to do

Hoping for a Lookman masterclass

Coventry are interested apparently.

every cloud has a silver lining

Post first round predictions:

Pistons vs Knicks ECF, Pistons in 6 (Just seems like they have the Knicks' number based on the regular season)/

Spurs vs Thunder WCF, Spurs in 7

Spurs vs Pistons Finals, Spurs in 4

Wemby Finals MVP 

As it stands, we would have survived without the point deduction. Not that we'd deserve it.

honestly, they don't deserve to go up solely on the basis of starting danny ward in a must win game
