  1. Diaby looking good, helped change the game. Feels like a fair result but what a crazy game.
  2. Had to be a handball as its the only part of his body high enough to connect with the ball.
  3. Diaby looking like he's nearly back to his old self the last few games.
  4. And just like that I'm back in. Less of a handball than the one we didn't get a penalty for but whatever.
  5. **** it. Time to turn off and do something else with my Sunday.
  6. He's trying to play a through ball between the defenders. Zoom lens makes it look like the balls just going out, but if it goes past the villa player running on picks it up at the byline in a dangerous position.
  7. There was a VAR check. Commentators on my stream thought they'd got lucky with the decision.
  8. Going to be the new tactic to avoid conceding a pen. Point at an arbitrary spot on the area as a player comes down the wing. Joke joke joke
  9. Yeah, exactly what I'm thinking. Rotation if nothing else, but those three have all been pretty poor and Digne, Diaby deserve the game time based on recent form.
  10. Joke of a VAR decision but what do you expect with the incompetence and corruption in place at the FA. Rogers seems to be a player that is going to have every 50:50 decision go against him. Commits a tackle in their half and concedes a free kick for it. Gets the same tackle against him in our half, but no free kick. Moments later they score from having the ball in our half when they shouldn't.
  11. That site next to Curzon st isn't big enough. It has less footprint than our current site, and water ways that would make it tricky to modify. If we include the patch of land below it, then it becomes big enough, but then it has a water way cutting through it. Not to mention its pretty much in small heath
  12. I think it says more about the incompetence of the officials. It took me 3 seconds to realise it was a foul, and then maybe another minute to think he didn't make any attempt to play the ball and stopped the player from having a shot in the penalty area that could have been a goal, so by the rules it's a red card. There's some subjectivity to the decision so instantaneous isn't expected, but I'v not a clue why it took then 5.5 minutes.

    Jhon Durán

    I was thinking the same. Looked very clumsy and trigger happy but wayward on arrival. He got game time and now looks a very dangerous PL forward. The potential is definitely there with Duran
  14. Not great semi final though. Home first again, and a horrible away second leg
  15. I'll take that. Would prefer to have been away first but it's at least a short trip
  16. Shes happy to clarify her comments, but she hasn't clarified them. If that isn't what she meant, what else did she mean? Hmm...
  17. Good chance to get him out of the England games, although I'd imagine he wouldn't want to drop out of them. On the plus side, even if he does go Southgate will just use Kane for most of the two games and he'll probably split the rest of the time between Watkins and Toney so not many minutes for him anyway.
  18. Rogers has one hell of a strike on him. No stopping his shots, if only they were on target a bit more.
  19. I'd say Martinez would be the worst, but he's definitely on the top 2. For all the luck we've had with Watkins avoiding injury the last few years, I thought that had balanced itself out with all the other players we'd lost. Seems the football gods really do have it in for us. Please please please don't be long term. 2 weeks and missing the England games would be nice.
  20. Forgot to add...recency bias obviously doesnt apply when picking centre backs. Oh and **** Southgate, glad when he's gone, etc etc.
  21. Wouldn't have gone with Rashford. Solanke much more deserving of that spot. Toney is obviously a great footballer, served his ban, and straight back in to scoring form. Not sure I'd have selected him, but if Solanke replaces Rashford I'm not sure who I'd pick instead. Probably another full back. Henderson... joke. But the rest of the squad is surprisingly OK. Obviously we're kinda shafted at goalkeeper with no great options anywhere.
  22. Maybe if we hadn't changed manufacturer and badge. As per @NurembergVillan, these things delay the typical timeframe. Of course, Adidas being absolutely huge, very experienced, and probably a far more competent outfit than Fanatics may mean they can actually deliver on time. (I am aware Fanatics supply loads of sports clubs these days but I'm yet to be convinced they're actually any good at it).
  23. So if next seasons shirts are already on a pallet somewhere which badge do they have on then and why hasn't a picture of them been leaked? Why haven't the club announced anything knowing that such a leak is incredibly likely given recent history? We only signed the deal with Adidas recently, and that isn't even formally announced so I'd be surprised if they'd manage to design and mass produce the kit already. More likely our kits will arrive later than normal I'd expect (and normal for us is late anyway)
  24. The official line was actually that we didn't want to impact our fortress home for the next couple of seasons when we'll be in Europe and potentially champions league. Also that the demand doesn't seem to be there with 200 unsold tickets every match. Transport and traffic are being dealt with by the redevelopment of Whitton Station, and if they make an offering like the warehouse available the demand immediately before and after a game would reduce anyway. Either way, the official line was most definitely bollocks.
  25. I think both would be the same. They'd both be a success based on preseason expectations (and even more so given the injuries we've faced), but would both be a punch in the gut. We've maintained champions league form for 50 games now. To not get it would be gutting, however it comes about.
