    Gabriel Batistuta

    Yeah it was the game where Ruud Gullit was in the bbc studio and said he was hoping for some sexy football - where the phrase was born.

    That was the ‘sexy football’ match wasn’t it? at Villa?

    Rules tweaks that might be made

    That’s true but then I think there’d be less arguments about it being as picky as someone’s foot being bigger (wright/wan-bissaka). The perceived advantage to the attacker if his body is clearly ahead of the defender would be easier to swallow.

    Gabriel Batistuta

    Used to love watching the Italian football on c4 and fiorentina were on a lot, so saw a lot of Batistuta. Just ruthless.

    Rules tweaks that might be made

    Should be the body mass/torso. Don’t see why that’s so difficult. If any part of the bodies are overlapping then it’s onside. If there’s a gap then offside. Easier to measure with this semi-automated as well.

    Ref watch

    Thought he did well yesterday. Let things go which helped the flow. I think he’s had two other games up CBS this season - one he was poor I thought where he didn’t give a stonewall pen, the other was much better (Millwall I think). he’s a young ref and I think highly thought of as he has done...

    Rushworth

    Yeah he pulls it back himself rather than Thomas kicking through it. wanker. Serves him right for doing Dovin last season.

    Rushworth

    There was one angle on sky last night which clearly shows Thomas effectively air kicks Campbell’s foot - he did the ‘move foot towards defenders to initiate contact’ but missed basically. 100% dive.

    Andrew

    Notwithstanding the Epstein shit and that he’s a general prick anyway, but it’s always struck me as weird the fact that he still lived with Fergie even years after they got divorced…. Really bloody strange. almost like keeping her close cos she was in that ‘circle of trust’ cos she was involved...

    Things that annoy you

    Anyone who plays youth or amateur football that has a mic attached to them or a little camera in the goal deserves total disdain or if they’re adults a two-footer. Fair enough they’re trying to make money with their limited ability, cos they’re obviously not good enough to be a pro cos they’d...

    Do the numbers flatter one of our strikers?

    They’re different sorts of strikers. Wright thrives more when he has space - to run with the ball at defenders or into space behind. Simms the more ‘target man’ one or two touches in box striker - I think yesterdays game showed it - wright worked and battled hard against the centre halves but...

    Michael Brown - what a prick. Apparently nothing wrong with the shoulder barge to the head that nearly knocked out Tats.

    Card happy, and that’s if he gets the correct player…..
