Would be better if it was 442 or 433

I genuinely read the sponsor's logo as MIDRIFF at first glance.

Yes, why not set a time limit on VAR of (say) 10 seconds. If they can't call a player offside in that time it's clearly not obvious, so advantage to the attacking team.

Yep, around Christmas time there were loads on here eagerly spending the Premier League transfer budget, at the halfway point of the season! A month later it was all doom and gloom, and now it's back to assuming it's done and dusted again. The reality is that although we are strong favourites...

Yes

Ah, I forgot to say that they are dealing with this too. 10 seconds to get off, or the replacement can't come on until the first stoppage after 1 minute of play. I imagine you'll be given a bit more leeway if you've lost a limb or something!

Apologies if there's already a thread on this, but I've just been reading that FIFA may be implementing a time limit on throw-ins and goal kicks in the World Cup. If the ref thinks too much time is being taken, a 5-second countdown will start. Can result in giving the throw to the other team, or...

I've always thought Eccles was terrific at nicking the ball off people.

I have never thought of them as remotely similar players. All about opinions I suppose.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Josh has done really well in that role higher up the pitch, but Frank seems unwilling to play him in what (at least in my eyes) is his more natural deeper position.

If Frank wanted the replacement for Onyeka to play deep, it seems odd to me that he chose Torp ahead of Eccles.

So the increase pays a Premier League player's wages for about a day.

Visions of you lying back with 3 shots, a hooker and a big cigar saying that.

The colour combo is on trend. Just had this pop up on my phone.

Played well in his only game though, contributed to a win IIRC.
