  1. If there were any doubt about how important McGinn and his energy are to Villa, this should clear it up.
  2. Some Villa players have forgotten their teammates aren’t wearing claret shirts.
  3. Same here. Once from every camera angle, including fans’ phone cameras. Then repeated in slo-mo.
  4. There's a lot of doubt as to whether he really did kill himself. The circumstances with his girlfriend, autopsy report, etc. give good reason to be skeptical. Either way, a tragic loss. The amount of fantastic music he created in a short time is astounding.
  5. Honestly, how many times are Villa players going to keep taking touches and then finally shoot or pass once the Spurs player is on top of them and able to make the easy block?
  6. That’s not a red. He made a play for the ball and was late. No studs showing. Should be a yellow.
  7. The players seem up for it from an energy and desire standpoint, but decision making and passing are lacking
  8. Rigged was a poor choice of word because of it's association with Trump's false claims of voter fraud. But she's actually spot on in her assessment of the situation. Schiff spent a ton of money on ads bigging up the Republican, Garvey, to get Republicans to turn up and vote for him because he didn't want to face Porter in a runoff of the top 2 vote getters (it's a non-partisan primary in California). Very cynical and while it might be "fair and square" according to the law, it's not a good look, particularly as it was not done to keep out the Republicans (who admittedly have no reservations about doing similar or much worse themselves). It worked so well that Garvey was actually the top vote-getter, though the splintered Democratic vote will easily support Schiff in the general election and win it for him. Schiff is an establishment, corporatist Democrat who got the backing of the machine and all its money. We had a chance to put someone progressive in the Senate and went for the standard, cynical career politician. I voted for Porter and would do so again. She didn't win her house seat as result of heavy backing of the Dem machine to begin with, so I don't think it will matter that much to her what they think. She's an academic, not a career politician, who flipped a red house seat and doesn't take PAC money. If she runs for office again, she won't be looking to the party machine for help anyway.
  9. Stupid by Konya, as unnecessary, but Akbom grabbed his arm and went down. Konsa didn’t bring him down.
  10. A forearm smash to the face is not card, but Zaniolo’s is?
  11. Netherlands won’t allow a betting company logo on a shirt but the pitch is surrounded by hoardings advertising BETCITY.NL
  12. Making no effort to pass their way forward and just trying to make the long incisive pass. It’s not working.
  13. McGinn. Look at the size of that arse.
  14. I think some clarification is needed
  15. wouldn't be able to raise a glass to his lips anyway
  16. I'm one of those older fellas, who may now finally have to quit, but at least I made it to my 60s so I bypassed the middle-aged, depressed alcohoic phase and can transition directly into old, depressed alcoholic.
  17. Once the parking brake on the bus fails it’ll roll downhill fast
  18. But that’s not true, or at least shouldn’t be true. The rule says if you’re in an offside position and pressure a defender trying to play the ball, offside should be given. He clearly impacted Moreno’s ability to get to the ball and was in an offside position, so he should be whistled for it. It’s the same rule that should have had Rodri ruled offside a couple of years ago when he came and nicked the ball off Mings from an offside position.
