The only decent Albion corner I have seen recently was in the Wolves cup game. All the substitutions had been made and we were given a corner. Everyone looked at each other as to who was to take it and eventually Peupion wandered over. He took the kick and the ball went straight onto Webster’s...

Do you think Lewis Dunk has told Bart what to say to Taylor?

Who wants to watch 90 minutes of Bruno Fernandes whinging? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cxwv9w7g12do

We had a great time in Japan in 2016. When in Osaka we had day trips to Nara (watch out for the over friendly deer in the park) and Himeji castle. At the castle they had free English speaking volunteer guides. We were fortunate and our guide was a lawyer who did the guiding in his spare time and...

I think that Mitoma had to wait on the touchline after treatment for the red card assault last week. The 30 second rule seems to be applied any time the physios come on regardless of whether or not the offender has received a card.

I didn’t see De Zerbi’s initial reaction to the incident but as he booked him Hooper seemed to be pointing to the touchline so I assumed it was for encroaching on the playing area.

We were conned by a taxi driver on our first visit to Lisbon in the 90's. We picked up the taxi at the regular taxi rank at the airport. When we arrived at the hotel the charge on the taxi meter was about 3 times the amount that was suggested in the guidebooks (pre internet travel guides!). We...

The referees need to make it clear which player is getting the yellow card. Didn’t Dunk pick up a second yellow once not realising he had been given the first when a certain referee ran down the pitch randomly waving a card in the general direction of half the players on the pitch?

If the GK gets sin binned then it will take 9 mins to a replacement in goal!

I had realised that there could be a yellow card for kicking the ball away but had not appreciated the wording. The law states that "Referees must caution players who delay the restart of play". That means that it is mandatory to caution a player in such circumstances. The only subjective...

The 3 points should go to us and Arsenal offer a friendly at a later date for the development of the players. If the rules are not correctly applied, how long will it be before a team bus for a meaningful competitive match goes to the wrong town and the match played at a later date. The fact...

We must not forget the positive of Sheffield United winning yesterday. That means that next week we will not be facing the only team in the premier league without a win and the inevitable consequence that would have!

I have always wondered why the cleaning materials companies emphasise that their product kills 99% of known germs - it is the remaining 1% and the unknown germs that we need to worry about!

The article says “the match will have to be played at a later date “. Surely Arsenal should forfeit the match for a no show!

The London Overground style trains would be even better- the seats are along each side of the carriage with lots of standing room in between. Maybe TB should invest in a couple of trains for match day use!
