I am nervous and excited in equal measure! I'm a tad worried about England defensively and think we're a bit weak at LB, but at same time in Bellingham, Foden and Kane we've probably got 3 of the top 10 players in the world...

The person who doesn't understand what something means is you, in my opinion. Nobody uses the expression "These things even themselves out" to mean that mathematically a team will get precisely the exact same of bad decisions for them as they get against them, it simply means that generally...

We had three goals in 4 games earlier in the season that were offside. Crooks, Jones X2. We also scored a goal against Norwich away where we'd clearly committed a foul just before it. That's just off the top of my head. It does even itself out, we're just biased like all football fans Norwich...

Get our recruitment right in the summer and it could be a really good season next year.

We can chant that at opposition fans, nice one.👍🤪 I think there needs to be some leeway given to fans, there needs to be a bit of needle to create a good atmosphere but at the same time chanting about things where there have been victims suffering serious harm is completely wrong. So basically...

I stuck with it. I'll get me coat.😳

That pretty much puts to bed the ridiculous nonsense that he was not very good for us. I’m not bothered about being right, I get things wrong all the time, for example I desperately wanted us to sign Greenwood in October/November! It’s just irritating people won’t admit he was very obviously...

Some people's desperation to not be wrong is embarrassing. He was very good for us, that's why Villa were desperate to sign him. Some realised he was very good. They were right. Some people wrote him off immediately and stubbornly stuck to their opinion. They were wrong.

That sounds fun Mart.🤪 You've converted me, I can't think of anything more appealing than a computer not swayed by the emotion of a crowd! It's all opinions I suppose, we all see it differently.👍 Actually no, I'm hearing there's a VAR review..... (Wait 8 minutes please) They've decided...

Even if it hadn't, if we'd had VAR then it would have completely affected the celebration in a negative way, because instead of celebrating with the wildest abandon safe in the knowledge that absolutely nothing could take that Goal away, we'd have all been thinking "oh **** what if VAR disallows...

But none of that is making Football better. Football is not science it is art, it is beauty, it is poetry, it is euphoria, it's the sheer unbridled ecstasy of a last minute winner taking you to a cup final. It's not boffins in a room hundreds of miles away desperately trying to decide if...

They're told not to flag immediately, but will always flag after the phase of play is completed. The ref and linesman 100% gave the goal, if not for VAR Coventry would have won.

Football is the fans. If not for fans it would be a game played on the fields of public schools by the upper classes. VAR has unquestionably made the game worse for fans to watch, as every single fan survey has overwhelming shown. 95% of fans in one survey said it had made the game worse to...

Are you talking about Rogers or Juninho?
