I don't know if anyone knows yet, but Brendan said it doesn't seem that bad, and there was a tweet that said our medical staff don't think it's serious. I guess we'll find out today, but the signs so far are pretty positive.

Also, Whickham and McCarthy seem to have been permanently crocked for about 8 years. 1

Just thinking that, offensive to the eyes. Every first half is the same with them. 1

I've been a very complementary towards Wolves in the last few seasons, i've found them very exciting and entertaining team to watch but I have to agree what you've just said, i'm not sure what's changed for them either as I thought the same early in the season even when they had Jimenez so it's not a case that they've changed into a boring team just because they've lost him to injury. I hadn't considered until recently the impact of the loss of Jota, but even so. Edited 11 February 2021 by Matt 1

Knew it would be. They kept advertising it yesterday as "that'll be a great tie" but I thought the opposite. 2

Maybe a better system for taking down highly reported comments, with a quarentine placed on the comment or post until it can be verified to be made with good / non malicious intentions, with accounts with more followers having their comments reviewed first in these cases to avoid silencing people based on false mass reports. It's tough to police, but I know twitter have thousands of people that's job is exactly that, trying to remove things that break their rules. Personally stay away from Twitter myself due to the amount of shite on there.

Leicesterpool Posted 12 February 2021 Posted 12 February 2021 (edited) Some reports that Emiliano Martinez is trying to make himself eligible for England, apparently Martinez has applied for ciztenship and maybe able qualify via that. Apparently he's not the first to attempt both Mikel Arteta and Manuel Almunia both tried this and were turned down. I always assumed to qualify for any country to play for you need some sort of family connections like granparents or something being from their. Saying that though I'm sure the Republic Of Ireland have snuck a few in without having proper heritage. Edited 12 February 2021 by Leicesterpool

Saying that though I'm sure the Republic Of Ireland have snuck a few in without having proper heritage. I thought citizenship was enough. Isn't that how Diego Costa did it? Anyway if he does manage to do it I have no issue. He would compete in a position that England lack quality. 1

No Spanish family, just moved there to play, and got citizenship. Didn't even move as a kid and grow up there, was an adult when he got there. 1

People only use their grandparents' nationality because they don't have citizenship themselves, I presume. 1
Aus Fox Posted 12 February 2021 Posted 12 February 2021 Qatar have been doing it for years, they played Australia in World Cup qualifying and I’m sure about half their squad were Brazilians. They’ve had a process of finding decent players who have next to no chance of playing international football for Brazil, giving them citizenship and then playing them in games. I’m really not a fan of this, for me to play for a country you need to have either a family link or you moved there before the age of 16 and learnt your trade there.
rico Posted 12 February 2021 Posted 12 February 2021 I’m sure Carlo Cudicinni tried to play for England when he was at Chelsea....?

I think when it's an odd one you hardly notice it, or in some case don't care. I remember a Brazilian called Santos playing for Japan a few years back after playing there for years. Just looked odd seeing this tall black guy line up with 10 Japanese men. Costa was obviously between two big countries so it got a bit of attention but again, it's just one player. It's rare for a top quality player to not get called up anyway so the option doesn't come up that often. I agree where it becomes, an issue is when countries like Qatar start harvesting players to improve their team. Its just bending the rules. Definitely needs tightening up on. I don't think people like Martinez should be prevented from getting citizenship to play for England, but large number of playerd clearly brought over to a country to fill the team shouldn't be allowed. 1
