What's the weirdest thing anyone had happen in your current save?

In mine, Mowbray won the WC with England in 2030 and then was sacked after the 2032 Euros after getting knocked out by Ireland in the 2nd round.

this is from last year but the manager merry-go-round. Man United sacked their manager, hired Juventus's manager. Who then proceed to hire Pep from Man City, who then get Klopp from Liverpool. Liverpool then get Simeone from Atleti, who then get the guy that Man United fired. 

I've also noticed that Set-Piece coaches are consistently moving from club to club. McPhee almost always goes to Liverpool after a week in my saves. 

anthony taylor refusing to give out clear yellows all game. 

what a strike

I think we play better when he's on the pitch. He does a pretty solid job defensively, and contributes going forward / progressing the ball.

Thought Zaniolo, Digne and Duran made a really good trio together. Wolves just could not handle them at all.

Zaniolo and Digne in particular suddenly gave us a width and a solidity down that side that totally nullified the Wolves gameplan and also created loads of attacking opportunities.

Right now, I'd play Zaniolo/Digne over Rogers/Moreno (and I think Rogers is improving every game and looks a real prospect for us).

Yep, I also see this. Zaniolo/Digne seem to have an understanding and we look very good on the left. Getting ahead of myself, but I'd love the option of rotating Ramsey/Moreno and Zaniolo/Digne next year. 

oh no. I have Lee Dixon and Peter Drury on commentary.

if its a PL only charge, would there even be a sanction in the Champ?, wouldnt it just be "this is your punishment "if" you get promoted?

Not sure it is only a PL charge, just thought i read it somewhere?

think I read that it's possible that the EFL will be bringing charges against them as well

Burn is a little lucky to stay on there isn't he?

 

that looked like a clear body check to me.

Can you disallow this?

Once the ref says play that's it isn't it?

once the ref restarts play, he is the only one to stop it. I'd hope that VAR doesn't have the ability to go back and overrule the restart as that is re-refereeing the game. But it looked like one of those "tactical go down with a head injury to delay the restart" things. 

poor keeping gives Ipswich the lead

Whittaker with a nice headed finish. 

Leicester......... wow they have completely thrown away a big points lead

courtney sweetman-kirk? 

He very much reminds me of Darwin Núñez

Now being forced to sell their training ground to Wycombe 

It sure looks like the owner is asset stripping right now

Just seen the Ederson thing. 

What's the difference? 

Honestly, we may as well be playing a different sport. 

if it's a pen, then it is the double jeopardy rule where it's a yellow card and not a red.

Just seen it back. It’s cynical but it is a trip. Let’s see if this kind of challenge is ever given a red again. It never has been and it never will be again. 
 

Should be appealed.

Billing had a similar one vs Palace last month

Another game and he's nowhere to be seen. About 5 or 6 in a row now.

Is he injured, has he been sold and he's going in the summer.

Something's changed, his levels have dropped off a cliff. He's gone from controlling the midfield to being invisible.

probably because he plays a full 90 almost every game and we don't have anyone to put in for him

terrible tackle, clearly a red. Didn't play the ball and cynical intent to injure.

Brilliant move, captain. Now the 3 match ban hits

McGinn & Konsa lost us the game. 

anyone arguing that's not a red is biased. that's a clear red -- no attempt for the ball and endangered player safety
