S-Platt

you just jinxed the Norwich game next week!

Well as long as they beat Liverpool in their final game I do not mind Wolves.

i would think it depends on the league we are in.

Must have been mentioned somewhere but we are due a large sum of compensation money from HS2 that could be substantial. Hopefully helps balance the books.

it's a shame but you have to agree with the players here. Should they not turn up will the youth team play or forfeit the game 3-0 is the bigger question.

NV do you know the shade of green!?

De Gea is playing for a move to Madrid I think.

City fans singing "You Fat Bastard" to Luke Shaw made me chuckle not heard that in years!! True though Mourinho was correct he does look rotund!

Counter attacking team. Hence why they are shit against the bottom half teams that sit back.

All clubs publish their audited accounts annually and are available on companies house website don't know what the issue is here!

Full Kit Banker (The money in football kits) Foreword from John Terry

Football Sartorial (a history of the football strip) Football Yarns (Stories from the Football Kit Industry) I want a signed copy please

Well did you not work at Umbro as well as Puma? Umbro to me are the daddy of kit makers so if you still have the contacts then you could get more and more ideas! I love that in 1970 for instance they invented Airtex for the heat for the England team in Mecico. 1966 they kitted out every nation?? some kit bible with all this information in and the changes from Victorian times to present would be awesome! With your knowledge and passion you could really go to town on educating the masses! Informative and with stories like you have told on here would be a winner.

Have you started writing that book yet? All these little tales make great reading and I am sure you could tell more! Multi billion pound industry now so I think a book from the inside would be fascinating! Not sure if you have the time but some quotes from the players about their memories would be insightful too! If you think of the history of kits you could do it from many different angles.

and that is what happens when you have no game plan than to defend! nice goal

Tyrone Mings, you make my heart sing You make everything groovy, Tyrone Mings Tyrone Mings, I think I love you But I wanna know for sure Come on and hold me tight I love you Tyrone Mings, you make my heart sing You make everything groovy, Tyrone Mings Tyrone Mings, I think you move me But I wanna know for sure Come on and hold me tight You move me Tyrone Mings, you make my heart sing You make everything groovy, Tyrone Mings Tyrone Mings, you make my heart sing

1996 away kit was Navy.

Neil Taylor calling SJM Kim Kardashian was the highlight for me!

I think this is the correct decision surely there is some younger forward thinking manager in Scotland? They have SJM, Fraser and Robertson who are decent so should be challenging for runners up spots in qualification I would hope!

I know my friend but that rule you mention does not exist yet. This is from the FA Rules forgive me if UEFA is different: HANDLING THE BALL Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with the hand or arm. The following must be considered: the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand) the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball) the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an offence touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.) is an offence hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) is an offence The goalkeeper has the same restrictions on handling the ball as any other player outside the penalty area. Inside their penalty area, the goalkeeper cannot be guilty of a handling offence incurring a direct free kick or any related sanction but can be guilty of handling offences that incur an indirect free kick.

but did it help put the ball in the net it was his thigh that did that his arm it just brushed?

See I disagree Llorente has his arms by his side and is been manhandled by Laporte so yes it brushes his arm but its not deliberate. Unless players have amputations you will always get the ball brushing arms and so on. Where it is clear the player cheated see Rodriguez against Villa then sure disallow and 20 match ban!

2 more than spurs

Bolton have not paid their players and are facing an uncertain future. Virtually relegated and just lost 4-0 at Derby. Millwall are fighting for their lives 2 points above Rotherham in the drop zone and have just held Sheff Utd to a draw at Brammal Lane. We never beat them and it will be a tough game. No gimme games in the champ though so I would play McGinn until he picks up his 14th booking. However in Deano I trust.
