Very few if anyone is saying they were lucky. Maybe not the end result, but you can definitely say you were unlucky not to score given the chances you had. Barnes had two, Vardy had a half-volley and missed a pen. Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 11 February 2019 Share Posted 11 February 2019 Sky presenter's desperation for it to be a foul on the GK is hilarious. Even Kluivert said no FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These time-wasting substitutions are always risky because they add on at least 30 seconds. I may have over reacted a bit to be honest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the goal, haven't seen it in game, but the sky presenters and pundits don't half chat some sh1t to cause controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always been an allocated amount of time - shame players and managers don't seem to realise when it goes against them! Newcastle fans must hate seeing us guys battle for 7th whilst they limp along near the bottom although they have picked up a few decent results but could have won tonight and against us.

filbertway Posted 11 February 2019 Share Posted 11 February 2019 Fair goal, really annoying how people in the game can't grasp "minimum" The camera even captured the ref saying "time will start after the sub" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 12 February 2019 Share Posted 12 February 2019 4 hours ago, Hollyfox said: The bottom clubs then were spending a fraction of what the big clubs were spending then and it's not far off that now. Wages probably similar as well. Correct! Here are the average first team (25-man squad) guaranteed player salaries 2018-19. I suppose all that TV money gives smaller clubs some power to recruit, or keep, some players bigger clubs would otherwise stash. But it doesn’t help them compete for elite, developed players. Take Riyad Mahrez (hardly the highest paid Man City player). If we wanted him back, we would have to clear out Ndidi, Pereira and Maddison to free his £200K/week. If Cardiff signed him, they literally could not pay an average Championship wage to the rest of their squad.

My main point, I just do not see a closer’s mentality. Nor a squad that reflects one. It’s one thing to respond well amidst moderate pressure and noise. But when all is at stake, what expectations are being modeled and communicated? Is performance maintained, or does it drop? Success is a habit, and I don’t think human nature allows unlimited chances to build it. By most reports, Poch and Levy take more compensation out of that club than other PL managers / GMs. So far, what they have built has been worth it. My gut feeling -- they have hit their limit. Enough said … some daily-lurker from the Fighting Chicken will accuse us of “obsession”. Fair enough if that's your take on it, we'll agree to disagree.

He’s not slapped him in the face has he, he’s ever so slightly grazed him. Goalkeeper didn’t get high enough and would never have been penalised himself for making that much contact. Benitez is really thick, he makes comments like ‘in England they don’t understand the rules’. No mate, the actual rules do not state that goalkeepers should get preferential treatment or be protected. Spanish football is unwatchable because everything is a foul. Over here we like the sport a little bit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUltimateWinner Posted 12 February 2019 Share Posted 12 February 2019 My problem with the Dubravka incident is that I don't think Boly has done enough to stop Dubravka playing the ball. (Some photos look bad but if you look in real time there isn't really anything in it). The issue is that every other time an outfield player challenges a keeper it's blown as a foul. I can see why Newcastle fans are aggrieved but also why Wolves fans think there's nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure they have hit their limit, what they’re building at Spurs is long term sustainable success, their training ground is amazing as is their new stadium, any success they achieve in the future will be built on solid foundations. We have a great dislike of Spurs on here but I think we’re going to have to get used to them being a major force in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 16 February 2019 Share Posted 16 February 2019 Just now, FIF said: Eriksen could be gone. If they then lose Kane or Son, they'll be in trouble. Short term maybe, they lost Bale and Modric and moved on from that, but my point is they’re building for long term success, like us i suppose only we’re doing it on a smaller scale, it’s exciting that our training ground could be as good or better than theirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyfox Posted 16 February 2019 Share Posted 16 February 2019 Even though they're disliked by a lot of our fans, you can't deny they're a very good club with a bright future. Levy is a very shrewd businessman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
