Didn't see him beat Son over 5 yards then?

If Kapa goes the wrong way Marv scores. Maybe you're not one of the clowns saying Nakamba should never take penalty's, but you must agree - it was a Much better effort than Young's, or Chilwell's....? Edit- Just watched them again - It was also better than Mount's and Emi Buendia's - certainly harder and better placed.

An assertion is NOT an argument. After the game, Tuchel was lauding Kapa as the match winner for saving Nakamba's penalty..... perhaps you should have another look at it!?

1. Macphee Picked the penalty takers. 2. As I said to you elsewhere, He knows much better than you do who takes a good pen. 3. The management and coaching staff were obviously wanting to protect the youngsters from the pressure of a shootout, (and from fickle and brutal fans always looking for the next scapegoat) 4. It's ridiculous to pick someone for the first 5 pens, who has not volunteered. (again you were not there and have no Idea who stepped forward) It's a good bet that Austin picked the best pen takers - in order of their record at taking penalties- from those who were feeling up to it at the time......5. Nakamba's pen was on target, powerful. and just inside the post. Kepa guessed the right way and made a good save.

You think you know better than the Manager and highly qualified coaching staff. who watch the players take penalties in training, who can and can't hit a good spot kick? Unbelievable!!

Better attitude than most commenters on here yesterday for sure! You've raised a bright kid there mate - congratulations.....

Me too!

I suspect that Smith has known since the last match that Jack could well be out. I'm sure there will be a game plan in place that the squad have been working on all week, and that Dean has picked what he feels is the best team available to him, in order to attempt to execute that plan.... I'm looking forward to watching, hopeful that we can put in a good performance and get something out of the game. It's actually looked to me to be a bit of a problem in the last few games that nearly everything seems to go through Jack, if only because teams are now doubling up on him. - Time to see if the rest of the squad can step up to this massive challenge, against a really good team, without him. UTV

He had a Calf injury, but he's been on the bench since the Man City game I think..... Not today though - In fact NO CBs!!

I expect most will want the grass cutting?

If he does find it could you send it to me please?

He just seemed to stop posting very suddenly (after giving me the mother of all headaches!), was he kicked out or something??

He means 'Source' - for the information - an old Villatalk 'in' - gag.

Invent your own meanings for words if you insist buddy. It's just that communication would be simpler and much more effective if we all stick to the actual dictionary definitions. Also - for future reference, it is entirely unconvincing to try to win arguments by attempting to pull rank on others by claiming to possess qualifications you so obviously don't. Anyone who actually knows how to spell and use correct grammar and punctuation will see through your utter bullshit immediately.

I had similar thoughts in terms of formation with slightly different personnel... I think we need to press them high as a team and try to force mistakes then hit them fast on the counter when we gain possession- only one of the full backs venturing forward at any one time. Nothing to be gained by being too defensive and inviting City on to us...

Mate, nothing quoted in any of your links actually supports your claim of any difference, in terms of meaning between the two words i'm afraid. They effectively mean the same thing within the context of following a sport or a team. You merely evoke - (unverified) implications of obsession, that are actually your own imaginings. The original argument / debate stems from someone else (TRO?) claiming that a fan was an armchair observer, while a supporter was someone who actually forks out for tickets and goes to games. Clearly no such distinction exists. That is what I and others objected to as it has no basis in fact, and people felt it implied the superiority of a supporter over a mere fan. Anyway - I hope to God the team we all follow and love obsessively - (whether fan or supporter), show the same amount of fight as you and TRO have done here, when they play at Wembley this afternoon UTV

Nah! - I'm not wearing it. If you truly possessed the qualification you claim, you would know that the word Lineage pertains to peoples ancestry. The word you were looking for is 'Etymology'. If you really had a degree in etymology, then you should know that the origin of a word often has little to do with its current, commonly accepted meaning. You should also know that a dictionary is a useful place to look up the actual DEFINITION of any word. You ought to get yourself one maybe, and look up the words; - Lineage, etymology, definition, fan and Supporter.

Mate, there is no distinction. Words have clearly laid down meanings. Fan and supporter mean exactly the same thing in the context of a sport or team. We don't get to have our own opinions on the definition of words, just like we don't get an opinion on the FACT that 2 + 2 = 4, or that Copper is a metal. (well we do - but any other opinions than the known facts are demonstrably wrong - sorry) UTV

Just for clarity - If you look up the words 'Fan' and 'Supporter' in a dictionary they have effectively identical definitions. You could also use the words follower, adherent, or disciple to mean the same thing. Your Insistence they have different meanings based on actual attendance at matches is your own invention and i'm afraid factually incorrect.

Won't Guilbert be serving a ban tomorrow for receiving 5 league yellow cards?

Very true, and don't forget the little matter of 'goal difference' which could relegate us if things are tight at the end of the season....

where did you watch it back? any chance of a link please?

I like that, but would choose Hause - Mings - Engels. as the defensive 3. No way will smith play either team though...

What does this mean please?
