Does anyone know if the cost of one of these is a bolt-on to a normal price or, is the quoted price on the site for this seat only? 

Price for the seat mate I believe.  You just get a padded seat central.

2-3, and the first half hasn't finished yet. Defense is overrated anyway

VAR disallows that one in The Prem

I went to plenty of games through the 90s and 00s and clinical accuracy was exactly what fans wanted to counter the incompetence of the refs and linesmen up until they actually got VAR, and now they pretend they never ever wanted a system that could double-check and potentially overturn their decisions.

"All we wanted was the spirit of the game to be maintained", my arse.

The offside rule back in the day was amended so we as fans said "clear daylight"  it stopped those arguments about being level and gave the attacker the advantage. 

Now it's a whim on when they press pause on the video which can be manipulated to suit agendas.

Villa have actually done well with the offside rule these days using it to our advantage.  

However if lines are needed then I think most of us would agree it's level.  

The new tech next season they are using will be interesting.

Third one is about as clear as a penalty gets, unbelievable. The first one is 50/50, I wouldn't have given the handball one.

As always it's subjective so they need to release the audio so we get to hear the reasoning. 

3rd the ref indicates Ash got the ball where evidence shows he did not.  So VAR should be telling the ref he was wrong and sent to the screen.  That was when Forest were 1 down.  

It's dodgy as they asked for Atwell to be changed before the game so they are bound to feel aggrieved.

Stick me on VAR for drawing the lines on that Cov winner yesterday and I would have shown him onside for sure!   That's the argument should be no bias at any level no matter who is playing.

It stinks.

They're a different proposition when Eze and Olise start. Happened only 5 times this season I read earlier. 

Both should be on our radar if we make Champions League.

I thought I'd check out the 3 Body Problem after reading a few positive comments about it, and it's absolute **** garbage. I stuck through the whole thing to see if it redeemed itself, but nah, it's not for me.

The most brilliant scientists in the world, who are unfortunately written by idiots, so they're also idiots.

Obviously it's scifi so the plot is going to be absurd, but it stretched my suspension of disbelief to breaking point 3 or 4 episodes in when:

  Reveal hidden contents

They need to get some data off the ship, but they can't send in special forces because it'll be a bloodbath, and they can't use missiles, because that might destroy the data. So now, they'll just slice the ship into tiny pieces using nanofibre and the data will by pure chance be perfectly safe from it, despite them having no idea where it is, because the aliens want them to find it, k. 

Characters making dumb decisions that make no sense other than to advance a plot is infuriating at the best of times, never mind when they're meant to be the finest minds of our generation.

Agreed thought I would give it a chance its possibly the biggest waste of my time ever!  Annoyed with myself for thinking it might have a pay off!

Eliza Gonzalez is fit that's about it!

Podence ex Wolves who always scores against us and has a worldy plays for them.

Back door entry is for the right girl not Champions League.  Let's get 4th and win the Europa League.

Pep will jack it in end of the season me thinks

We broke them!

Southampton beat Preston 3-0, they're only three points off Leeds now with a game in hand, and four points off Leicester with them to play. Would be some end to the season if Leeds and Leicester were to drop into the play-offs

They have Leicester and Leeds away in their last 4 games.

Could be fun

Somewhere in the highlighted area. In between two stations (Aston & Witton). If the club and partners acquired all the land. This site is around 80 acres so you could build a new Men's and Women's stadium plus other assets. Perhaps adding another train stop near the spaghetti junction in the right corner.

I do believe we owned quite a bit of land in that area highlighted it's just Deadly Doug flogged it in the 90s!

It's cheaper to buy houses and land behind Witton Lane than any land in the City Centre.

Putting the brakes on The North Stand could be for a bigger project including the Witton Lane Stand.

Atarios are investing for something more than football me thinks.

Never played the games so came into blind.  Brilliant did all 8 in 2 days! Recommend it to anyone but not for kids!

Leeds lose as well.  Hilarious.  

To Blackburn another team Blues won't catch now nice!

The geniuses don't even own the club they have spent the square root of **** all on players.   

They did spend a couple of million on getting The Sty fixed. So what was the point of that when they can't fill it and are now talking about a 60k stadium.

It's going to be fun watching it all unfold for sure.

His "performance" last night was so an anonymous nobody deemed it worthy of comment it would seem.

He simply cannot play in the center with any defensive responsibility. His positioning and awareness is terrible. He's been deployed there in the last couple of games and we've looked embarrassingly poor defensively. 

Throughout his career he's always had extremely strong defensively minded players alongside him because he can't do that role.

Replacing him with McGinn seems the obvious move.

Don't understand why Emery is using him there....

 

I was saying this at the game Mcginn and Dougie has the holding midfielders and Youri in the hole seems everyone would perform better but what do us mortals know compared to The Don.

Must be reasons so it is what it is.

Draws are draws pens irrelevant extra point for going through.

Lovely pic when did the St George Flag replace the Union Jack is the question.  

Why no KDB?

They're spending two to three billion the project, going to be a 60,000 capacity stadium, training ground for men, women, and academy all in one location, and they aim to have completed by 2029. Will be interesting to see what they do in the summer transfer window, as for all these plans to make sense they're going to have to get into the Premier League asap

2 to 3 billion how would they get a return on that investment?  Seems like fantasy to me.

If they do not get a points deduction or relegation and instead get a huge fine who pockets the money!?

All the clubs that have been in The Prem for past 10 years or just the ones in it now?

If Villa get a payout and reduce ticket prices would you be happy?  

Would Heck do that? doubt it!

Would any amount received by clubs class as income to offset FFP?   

So much dodgy stuff can happen if money is involved and it has probably already swapped hands in some cases.

The longer this goes on the worse it gets with Everton and Forest suffering.

That’s ridiculous - do the league want this in the courts potentially?

If it does end up in court I think Everton would win as in my eyes it's black and white with regards to deductions as in where in the rules other than admin is it written you get a points deduction.

That's the issue for me as yes they admitted to wrong doing but there is nothing set in stone to say what happens when you break the rules.  Not even seen any guidelines it's just some panel making it up as they go.

Dodgy ground for a legal defence for The Premier League.
