Corky Posted 5 July 2020 Posted 5 July 2020 As many points in the last two games as eyebrows for Colin.
Wymsey Posted 6 July 2020 Posted 6 July 2020 It would be absolutely disgusting if the reason why Wigan are in the mess they're in is because allegedly the owner, or similar at the time, made a bet on the club to get relegated.

spacemunky Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 This is the exact match where you know Forest will lose. Big match at home and at the end of the season.
Stuntman_Mike Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Just noticed Derby's remaining games.. West Brom, Brentford, Cardiff, Leeds and Birmingham.

purpleronnie Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Given where Derby were I'm sure they're just happy to be in with a shot.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 With their GD I think that's Luton down. Think they'll need a minimum of 7 more points to stay up and that just isn't gonna happen.
Corky Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Brentford manager was giving a tactics board lecture during the second half drinks break. Ridiculous, the idea was correct to keep players hydrated during hot temperatures but now it's become an unofficial time out.

The whole thing is an absolute joke mate, I've never hated football more than I do at the minute.

Jeff Stelling has become old man yelling at clouds about football recently but he's spot on with this when it was shown, just ridiculous.

I'd say fair play for to the Brentford manager for making the most of it seeing as they were 1-0 down and went on to win the game. The rule just shouldn't be in place to start with. Maybe the first round of fixtures or so at most and then back to normal. Players get a chance to have a drink at breaks in play as it is, the game is becoming more and more Americanised.

Guest Electric Yetis Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 Preston back in Play-Off contention. 1-0 down to Sheff W with 12 minutes to go before 3 separate subs score to win 3-1.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 Wigan making a go of it after being obviously shafted.

They might be able to finish more than 12 above the bottom three. Next three games are Barnsley, Hull and Charlton. 9 points from those, with a current eight point advantage, could see them safe.
Fox92 Posted 9 July 2020 Posted 9 July 2020 Always liked Paul Cook as a manager, always done well wherever he's been, and this is good to read: Quote At 9am yesterday, match-day, #wafc manager Paul Cook picked up his phone & began calling the 75 members of staff who'd been made redundant by administrators. Cook wanted to support & console them. He cares. At 6pm, Cook's well-prepared, well-motivated players went out & beat QPR.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 9 July 2020 Posted 9 July 2020 I can see Wigan winning 3 of their last 4, might not be enough if they get hit with a 12 point deduction though.

Here are some of the reasons why: I can't actually go to the games myself, that's number one and why I'm not enjoying it half as much, the days out are what its all about. Handball as an attacker is punished, but perfectly fine as a defender in the box. Water breaks which are clearly not needed when it's 15 degrees. These have just become extra tactical breaks. 5 subs rule being implemented from next season? Just favours the big teams once again (which I'd include us in) Politics coming into football, I watch it because for 90 minutes it's my escape from the world Every game has a stupid VAR decision missed, as well as taking 5 minutes to come to the decision (and not always the correct one IMO) All the handballs against us, Sheff Utd ghost goal a few weeks ago, Burnleys clear red card not given last night. When it's just a ref you can excuse it, but when you've got the technology and they still get decisions wrong. EFL say Wigans owners are perfectly good to own a football club, they bankrupt them a few weeks later and now the EFL want to deduct them points and relegate them. Now they're gonna be forced to sell their whole squad to cover debts etc. At the same time while all this is happening we've now got FFP, which stops the smaller clubs getting a sugardaddy and spending their way to the title, IMO if someone can finance it, it should be allowed. It just doesn't feel like the game I grew up loving, if VAR and stuff improves it'll make it much better, but I don't agree with these rules that clearly favour the big teams.

You haven't even mentioned the time wasting and on-field antics of players Hard to argue with any of that to be honest. The problem is most peoples love of the game will continue to overrule the bas aspects.
