Seems like its up the club buying to pay the sell on fees.... Maybe that will be our excuse though. As I say its not the first time we've had such allegations against us. Probably like most clubs the Pozzos try to get around the rules I think! Edited 24 April 2020 by Super_horns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just luck, but there are great big wedges of luck peppered through our season. We've benefited from VAR a lot, and also avoided punishment for some things that should have been picked up by VAR. I think Dubravka has made more saves than any other 'keeper in the Premier League, we've been indebted to him. That doesn't speak well of Bruce's gameplan. There's a huge difference between playing negatively and poorly, and playing negatively and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no chance that players will be able to stop themselves in the short term and really it’s the short term that matters. but more Importantly, players will be tested so their spit shouldn’t be an issue anyway ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 27 April 2020 Share Posted 27 April 2020 Spitting should be banned anyway, even more so if it's towards players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspa Posted 27 April 2020 Share Posted 27 April 2020 (edited) It's one of the most bizarre things about the sport, you don't see anywhere near as much in Rugby yet they're practically knocking the snot out of eachother anyway. There must be an ocean of spittle under most football stadiums, maybe after we've all died of Coronavirus they'll dig up all of the phlem to use in creating a group of super players to bring in the new age. Bruce Gobberlaar to lift the trophy when Spittlepool win enough games, come 2046 Edited 27 April 2020 by Jaspa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 28 April 2020 Share Posted 28 April 2020 5 minutes ago, Fox in the North said: That would be awful for the game, but it's obvious why the big clubs are pushing so hard for it. Many of the established elite are scared after seeing what teams like Chelsea and Man City have achieved with significant investment. It's not so much about these new "power" teams winning trophies but more that they are stealing potential revenue from that established elite. Look at AC Milan as a club that have gone from being literally one of the best teams in the history of European football to also-rans that are a huge embarrassment compared to their former glories. The biggest teams look at that and are frightened it could happen to them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 28 April 2020 Share Posted 28 April 2020 I must be misunderstanding this as that to me reads from 24-25 to qualify for the Champions League you will have to win the league, or reach the semi finals of the Europa League (as it currently is).

The three- in-one disinfection machine was created to help the AsiaWorld-Expo centre host upcoming events. And now football chiefs are discussing the idea of using the technology to help fans attend once games return. The technology sees individuals walk through a pod before entering any given venue. Fans would stand in front of the technology which would take their temperature and deem whether they are well enough proceed. This process takes 12 seconds to complete. The centre in Hong Kong is due to hold an Avril Lavigne concert on May 24 and will house 16,000 people.

I guess being the BBC they have to try and incorporate as many clubs as possible in their selection. Le Tissier will be number 1 I am sure they will go for. Speed will be number 2 great ex pro they will say. Vardy 3 I reckon they will go for. Personally would go Vardy 1, not just because played for us. But not only he has been our top scorer and kept us in the premier league and he has also won the league with a club outside of the big 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereafter, you are still infectious. And it’s simply not workable with big crowds. Edited 29 April 2020 by st albans fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
