Judging by photos that are now circulating it appears the following players ignored all advice and broke Tier 4 regulations by attending parties over the New Year period.
Spurs
Erik Lamela
Sergio Reguilon
Giovani lo Celso
West Ham
Manuel Lanzini
Fulham
Aleksandar Mitrovic
Palace
Luka...
So far this weekend, Everton and Spurs have scored 5, Leeds and Leicester have scored 4, Fulham, Palace and Brighton have scored 3. Is this just an early season abberation or are teams actually finding playing behind closed doors liberating?
...have conceded 22 goals between them after the second round of fixtures :ohmy:
This season could see some record high numbers in the 'goals against' column at this rate.
Obviously they will all benefit from gallions of parachute cash but that has to be balanced against the fact that their best players will most likely be off.
My football knowledge is sketchy at best but I fail to see any of the clubs that have dropped mounting any sort of challenge to return to...
I think we all hoped that if anything positive was to come from the massive change to how we lived from March onwards, it might be a recalibration of what's really important and perhaps a better balance to the rhythm of our daily lives? But I suppose over time things will get back to exactly how...
Inspired but this gem from 81jamie on another thread, this MUST be rich theme, surely?
The best way to get over the disasters and humiliations is to share them. I'm sure I must have a few of my own so I'll pop back in a bit and add to the roll of shame.
But in the meantime, a snippet from...
Which player has stunk out Premier League grounds up and down the country this season, week in week out? I don't see that many games - mostly just MoTD highlights so my data-set is pretty limited and I'm genuinely interested to hear what others think and if there is a concencus. There must be a...
Assuming we scrape over the line again and enter our fourth season in the PL, what are you feelings about dining at the top table?
To be perfectly honest, I fully expected that we would be straight back down at the end of our first season but at the time that didn't matter. Just getting here...
I've just (re)read 'Maximum Diner - making it big in Uckfield' by Christopher Nye.
Having grown up in Uckfield myself, the descriptions of the town and some of the more unsavoury customers produced some genuine laugh out loud moments. But what somehow passed me by on first reading the book...
I found this sad and poignant reading on the BBC website today.
Luke Chadwick, a 'running joke' on the BBC series They Think It's all Over because of his appearance used to live in dread of the show coming on the TV and made him not want to go out. Fair play to Luke Chadwick speaking out, and...
Utterly pointless.
I’d like to see a minimum of £5000 for a first offence, with the power to seize goods if they can’t pay. No excuse for house parties and back garden bbqs. It’s not ****ing difficult to understand what’s required. And just to be clear, it would be £5k for the ‘host’ and £5k...
I have to admit, after 3 weeks in Lockdown (albeit a very British type of 'open prison' Lockdown), there are certain apects of this new stripped-back lifestyle I quite enjoy. For a start the complete lack of anywhere to go and anything to do brings a wholes new simplicity to life that is quite...
With fine, sunny weather forecast for the weekend, will the great British public hold their resolve, or will we collectively fold like a red-hot Mars Bar?
You’d hope that common sense will prevail, but I reckon there will be countless ‘essential’ trips for charcoal and bbq fluid and beauty...
Up until as recently as the Villa game I was near enough 100% confident we had enough to stay up with a bit to spare. But after dropping points in that game (again) and last night’s unmitigated cluster**** I’m now 50/50 and even that might be overly optimistic looking at forthcoming fixtures...
It's that time of year when I need some inspiration to expand my relatively limited repertoire of wholesome winter warmers beyond my go-to dishes of chilli, bolognese, chicken fajitas etc.
The stipulations are fairly straightforward. It needs to:
Involve proper cooking (ie - no ready meals)...
Stranger things have happened I suppose, but it looks like Jezza will finally meet his Waterloo on the 12th December.
If that is the case, who is likely to be next Labour leader and will they manage to wrest control of Labour back from Momentum? Or will Jezza just carry on? Surely he can't...
