What, the one that never went away you mean? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/battle-baghouz-white-house-declares-victory-over-isis-syria-desperation-n986246

I think they will bring everything forward quite a bit, it makes sense to prepare everyone for a longer lockdown and bring it forward rather than the opposite.

Playing style and depth of squad, plus the fact that we have put out strong sides in the cup. having a settled lineup worked in our favour in the early part of the season but now we should be rotating and can’t do so without a big drop in quality.

Brilliant! So a non-football fan accidentally started watching football game and got so angry at something one of the players did they decided to abuse them on twitter.

This, our lack of depth in the squad, injuries and the hectic schedule combined with our high energy game has fucked us.

I think it’s fair to say we are in a relegation fight now, we are awful.

That’s just shit goalkeeping

This shower of shite is in a relegation fight now.

Sod’s law we finally win something two days before fans are allowed back.

Apparently the VAR refs watch replays in actual speed precisely because of that reason, slow motion is purely to determine wether there was contact. Even with VAR there will be dodgy/debatable decisions because there is so much opinion involved, many grey areas and they are operated by humans who will always make mistakes. But VAR has undoubtable shown how poor on-field officials are at making the correct decisions, especially when it comes to offsides.

I doubt we will be spending much after reading this: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/feb/22/sign-of-the-times-how-english-clubs-are-turning-to-high-interest-us-loans

I agree there is still some bias but in general I would say VAR has reduced it. I can remember quite a few times where one of the 'big six' has had a marginal decision go against them that never would have happened without VAR, especially some of the offsides. If anything, VAR has shown up how useless on pitch officials are are getting decisions right. Someone watching on TV from multiple angles with the option of slow motion etc is so much better placed at judging than some middle aged blokes running around trying to keep up with play who have thousands of people shouting at them influencing their decision. I would probably make the VAR official the guy who makes the final call, or at least have more say TBH.

I’ve never seen the appeal of Dubai, it’s just a bunch shiney soulless buildings in a desert. If nice hotels in a hot country are your thing then there’s a long list of nicer places I can think of with more interesting culture and without the religious/human rights issues.

I thought he did OK considering.

I’d probably take Mini over Theo if it is an option but not sure it will be, and I expect his wages wouldn’t be much different. Without knowing the finances and what options there are it’s impossible to say but Theo was a mainstay of the side that took us to the top of the league and beat Liverpool, Arsenal etc so giving him another year or two makes sense to me.

What’s the choice then?

I would have Theo in the side over Redmond or Moussa any day.

I would go with this. Would like to see it as a 4-2-3-1 with Mini in a no 10 role. Can see there being goals on Tuesday but god knows what the score will be, both teams concede for fun and can be decent or shite on the day.

It was reported elsewhere but you got it in your little head that there was some sort of mass panic going on, and that’s classic Daily Mail.

Why don’t you just admit it, you read it on the Daily Mail and actually believed it. That explains why you constantly piss your pants over players taking the knee, you’re a Mail-Reading fucktard.
