whelk Posted 5 December, 2021 Author Share Posted 5 December, 2021 it is hard to believe that Villa conceded as they have the best manager ever to walk the planet. He’s a winner is our Stevie G just look at him, grimace, smile, wave arms….. he does all this as a winner would do. he could well turn out to be a good manager but fucking hell the fawning media and general love in is ridiculous.

Ridiculous. Officially the correct decision then. If that definition is correct then if a keeper's hand and an attacker's foot meet the ball at the exact same time then any goal that results should not be given as the keeper had his hand on the ball for the same split second that the attacker's boot was on it. I suppose if a keeper was stood there with the ball held in one upturned palm ready to launch it and an attacker booted it out of his hand nobody would complain if any resulting goal was chalked off. This one felt wrong though, was never in his control. Like many/most things in football the issue is grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Newcastle fans still sing about Sunderland even though they are in the same league as Pompey. I was born in Fareham and went to school there so I know about the rivalry. That's why I know that Pompey fans love us singing about them on TV. It makes them feel big. It doesn't help our team in any Premier League game we are playing. It simply gives Pompey more media coverage than other League One teams get, thanks to our gullible fans. Every home game at St Mary's the first song the Northam/Kingsland corner starts is always about Pompey. I've seen televised Newcastle games and not heard songs about Sunderland and I've seen televised Pompey games and not heard songs about Saints but every single televised game at St Mary's everyone can clearly hear the songs about Pompey. As I said, it is small time and embarrassing and gives far more credit to a lower league team than it deserves. We are bigging them up and they love it and this is a team that lost its last home game against Harrogate in front of just 7,000 fans. WHY do fans of clubs like Liverpool and Man United need to hear us singing about Pompey as if they were at the same level???

The Cat Posted 5 December, 2021 Share Posted 5 December, 2021 What's going on at Leicester then? A squad with loads of quality and a manager that a lot of people think is really good yet they are struggling in mid table obscurity.

HarvSFC Posted 5 December, 2021 Share Posted 5 December, 2021 I’m not sure why they’re ignoring Iheanacho again. He changed their form around when he came into their team last season and ended up their top goal scorer in all competitions. Now, he’s back out of the side and even behind Daka in the pecking order. When Rodgers’ Liverpool lost Suarez and Sterling they weren’t the same team and he didn’t have an answer for it. Now, this Leicester side have Schmeichel and Vardy on the decline and have Fofana out with a serious injury. Albrighton was an underrated David type too, but he’s done now. See if Rodger’s has answers this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view merely touching the ball with your hand does not mean that you have 'control of the ball'. In my day it was 'two hands good, one hand bad'. Simple enough for everybody to understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian lord Posted 6 December, 2021 Share Posted 6 December, 2021 (edited) Similarly I cannot bear Everton but the second disallowed “offside” goal is completely against the spirit of the game even if the VAR officials think they can see a couple of millimetres positioning difference.

S-Clarke Posted 6 December, 2021 Share Posted 6 December, 2021 Looking at the way things are shaping up, I think it's 5 from 3 for the drop. We're part of that 5. Newcastle will spend and will inevitably get out of it. Burnley, not sure, could be the year it's just a bit too much for them - although they have a knack of grounding out results when it matters. Watford will be one of our main rivals for 18th come the end, I think. They make me nervous as they have goal scorers and match winning attackers in their team. Norwich, I think, are probably a lost cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are firmly in the relegation league now, problem is the players will probably not realise the extent of the problem until matchday 30 odd. I agree, Newcastle could well rally and spend their way out of trouble which leaves us, Watford and Burnley. Sean Dyche always seems to find a way to get safe, so it's going to be a real battle. The bottom line is we are pretty crap and if we don't go this season it's highly likely we go the next. We are only delaying the inevitable.

Apart from Ings I'd say we're stronger in all other departments compared to last year, or at least as good (or as bad when it comes to goalies). And Ings was only fit for about half the season, so arguably Broja and AArmstrong could turn out to be on par to half an Ings. I think the main problem is there aren't 3 out and out crap teams below us this time. Even "doomed" Norwich are only 6 points behind, and they have already beaten us.
