Ex-player heaven at Derby v Huddersfield yesterday- Davies, Lawrence and Waghorn for Derby. King, Simpson and Stearman for Huddersfield.

Hamer ineligible too.

I'm Still Standing (but walking off the stage)

Thrilling series, even though I'm not a massive fan of T20. Very close in all games.

Honestly, just ****ing leather the ball away, even if you mishit it you are well away from the goal.

Drinkwater is not a Premier level cm any more. So pedestrian. Legs clearly gone. Just trotting round. 

He just looks like a player who has barely played for two years. Tough enough against Man City and Tottenham with match fitness and game awareness, without it is a different level of difficulty.

Steve Bruce piping up moaning their winter break was cut short due to the Oxford replay. Someone want to tell him he could have just won the home tie to start with?  

They've had one day fewer than us and Wolves. It's hardly a huge disadvantage.

Same things were said about us five years ago. We managed to get off the bottom, will they follow?

Puel ball is nonsense in this context. He was criticised for playing negatively against the likes of Cardiff, Southampton, Swansea, Stoke at home, not away against a good, well organised team with threat like Wolves.

Yes, it wasn't good to watch but we were hardly playing the whipping boys of the league today. 

Why do they report transfer rumours as though it's a simple case of the player just deciding he wants to go, where to and when? 

"They claim there are numerous factors"- yes, such as the club accepting a bid maybe?

If I'm honest, if the goal had been given it wouldn't have bothered me too much, it's not a massive thing.

But, if you're going to bring in the technology to get the right decision, use it. However annoying or sapping the offsides might be, they've at least been consistent.

Paul Ince utterly clueless on BT. "It has to be clear and obvious". It was- it was offside. It is black and white, factual, definite, whatever you want. Clear and obvious would be used on the Choudhury red card or if the Maddison thing in the box was given- offside is offside, however tight.

Change the offside law if it is that bad, or go back to no video technology and taking the rough with the smooth.

Awful game, glad for a point but we need to improve hugely, especially for next week. Yet we scored three there last year and got nothing.

Enjoy your weekend now.

Thank God that's over.

Darren Fletcher will reach climax if Traore scores the winner.

When they apologised for the sound quality, I wasn't sure whether they meant the time with or without sound.

87th minute, they'll score.

Still not convinced the first was a yellow.

Spot on. Technology is ruining perfectly good goals because the laws aren't fit to support it. Handball rules included. 

 

We always get ****ed over by VAR though, and you lot usually come up smelling of roses! 

Blame your club mate, we all voted for this. This was all agreed to at the start of the season.

Of course the correct decision was reached, referees are going to know the laws aren't they?

Whether we want the moment spoiled is the big thing now rather than the absolute decision, but clubs aren't prepared to accept wrong decisions so we've got this.

Suck it up or change it.

We are too ponderous and not threatening enough. Need far more going forward than we've offered.

Rushed Wilf back too early 😐

Seems that way. Can understand why but we need to learn from this, bite the bullet and accept players may be out for a while and prepare accordingly.

We've had our own issues with FFP (on a smaller scale admittedly) so I won't be moralising but I'm very surprised it's a ban like this, though it will be appealed quickly.

Best to assume it'll still be top four going in before anything absolutely concrete occurs.

Seems like there were loads of players there. Why is Maddison singled out?

He had a dig at them after they did an article about his backpack earlier this season and obviously the hateful rag were hurt by this and want to highlight everything he does.

Sport should always have an element of unpredictability, doubt and potential to keep the intrigue.

Faceless twats in boardrooms shitting themselves about Leicester, Sheffield United, Wolves now is hilarious. willy pullers.
