But possibly also that they're willing, like Forest, to let opponents have the ball. They're not a high pressing side but tend to hit on the counter attack, so perhaps they're doing less running around and are therefore less susceptible to fatigue? Forest's injury record this season has been...
Presumably they'll just pick the northernmost of the three, either that or move somebody else from south to north if they're really, really southern in location. I think Oxford City have spent the last couple of years in the NLN, despite not being particularly northern. Nor are Kings Lynn, in my...
The only thing you get now is when it's busy and Mr Magoo waiting in front of you can only see the busy checkouts nearest to him and has singularly failed to spot the FOUR unused ones down the far end, so stands there with his trolley waiting for the nearest ones to become empty (at which point...
Maybe if the keeper goes down injured (not as a result of a foul), the rule should be that the sub keeper has to replace him immediately for a set period of time, say, 10 minutes like with a rugby sin bin. No warm up time, just on you go.
At least it might make the teams with really bad second...
I feel like a few people are forgetting how badly we ended last season. De Zerbi brought us some of the most fun times ever, but the last three months or so were dismal.
We were so bad by that stage of the season, we lost at home to Manchester United. Let that sink in.
For the last three or four years, a player with options of us or Everton would pick us nine times out of ten, for various reasons.
Now they're finally moving out of that crumbling shed Goodison Park (you probably haven't heard about this as it's barely been mentioned in the media) and into a...
Just because the lino was running away doesn't mean he wasn't talking to the ref. That's their job, to talk to each other. It may be the lino said goal kick but Morton Pawson said he thought the keeper had got a touch (which he did- watch the replay) and the assistant went "fair enough...
I would assume it was checked- isn't everything?- and the official decided it wasn't worth changing Kelvin Morton- sorry, Craig Pawson's- original decision.
Had Pawson been as eager to award us a penalty as he was Newcastle, I would guess the VAR would have stuck with that decision, but...
He mentioned something on his Instagram saying what a great time he'd had there and he hoped to get another chance, so it suggests he was only on a short term contract (which makes absolute sense) and is waiting to hear whether they'll re-sign him.
I always thought he'd end up at Wrexham, but perhaps them being promoted to the Championship makes that less likely.
Alongside the Vardy rumours, there's also been talk of them going after Patrick Bamford. Currently on about £70k per week it seems so depends how much they intend to splash the cash.
