  1. No it wasn't. Torp manufactured it by sticking his leg out but his foot was trodden on.
  2. I wasn't expecting that, to be honest.
  3. Stupid time for a stupid substitution.
  4. That could have happened even in training.
  5. Troo dat. Technically though we could draw the cup games and go through on penalties. 😚
  6. Old gits like me. I fully understand those who prefer to stand and indeed there once was a time when I would have been in amongst them but the ravages of time have taken their toll on my knees. That's why I am reluctant to go to away games unless I can be assured of a seat. And a view to go with it.
  7. Saka will be shaking in his boots. Shaking Saka. It has a ring to it.
  8. I've been there a few times on a day visit. It’s filmed in the town of Des Haies on the west coast of Guadeloupe. We even hired a car there and drove around the west half. It’s a French Department of course and hence part of the EU. I don't think there are any direct flights from the UK.
  9. We've been to most of them but not Jamaica. Antigua used to be my favourite and we stayed at the Rex Halcyon Cove on Dickenson Bay a few times amongst others. It has now been bought out and is being reconstructed which has destroyed a few of my wonderfully happy memories with my wife. Barbados had lately become our favourite and I would agree with Gloucester Saint about Rockley Beach. There are several restaurants around there and the Reggae Buses run regularly into town. Barbados is perhaps more built up with three times the population of Antigua. When I get a few moments I shall try to post some photos and videos.
  10. Clean sheet. Luvverly business.
  11. No. He was offside because VAR was brought in. Over the history of the game such decisions have been left to the Assistant.
  12. Too close to call.
  13. Never a red. Always a yellow. Very similar to Bertrand's red in that Leicester game. It's the slow motion that gives a grossly distorted impression of the incident. Hardly a touch on Garnacho's shin.
  14. "Clearly" ? Marginally at best. Why don't we see other freeze-frames? We had this sort of debate before VAR was introduced. Television is not accurate enough.
  15. Everything that's wrong with VAR
  16. Could be worse.
  17. Nah. The covers are too far apart.
  18. Wembley cost so much that the FA need the revenue to help pay for it.
  19. Not actually an incorrect decision.
  20. He was responsible for losing Fonte. Fonte didn't figure in any of our European games.
  21. That's rubbish. It was lost because we conceded three goals. We lost that game comfortably without any help from others.
  22. Shame about the clean sheet. How on earth were they allowed three successive dolly headers in our own penalty area?
