This. Play Wright on the left, it's where he's most effective. If that means leaving EMC out, so be it.

Everything he did, he did right.

Woooo-hoooo! Get the fuck in! 🤣

Two absolutely shocking decisions in that half. First, blatant penalty for handball; he lifted his hands to block the ball, it's not even for debate. Second, not to book that bloke for a cynical foul. How was it not a booking? Just because you've played on, doesn't make it better. Saying that...

That does make it sound more interesting that it probably was, doesn't it. 🤣

Indeed! And fair enough.

If you say so. This isn't a subject worthy of a bun-fight, though. But it *is* a sense of entitlement if you are complaining that something doesn't tailor itself to your very niche requirements.

You've said what the situation was, and I know what we're talking about. This might sound patronising here, for which I apologise, but the definition of the word 'laborious' is something that needs significant effort to accomplish. There's not a single situation, anywhere in the world, where...

It's not, though, is it. It's the most minor of minor inconveniences, if you could even call it that.

You could argue quite plausibly that there's more interest in the England team than most Championship clubs, though, and if you are listing the England score, then it's logical to list the associated matches with it. I do agree that Iceland v Norway is a very niche interest. But then it is in...

Good result for Andorra, though. On a list of all the things that aren't worth caring about, I'd guess the order that football results are reported on the BBC website must rank quite highly.

Having to scroll to look at results? Seriously, people will moan about anything. No more or less meaningless than any other result.

I can't remember ever hearing 'you're gonna get your fucking heads kicked in' at a match. I do lament the loss of 'you're so shit it's unbelievable', though. Replaced by the less pleasing 'you're shit, and you know you are', which also died away.

Did you ever read Shoot as a child? They used to print all the previous weeks' scores, and gave each player a rating out of 10. Clearly a kids' comic didn't have a correspondent at every League game in England and Scotland, but it was fun to see how they rated your favourite player anyway...

Agreed. I'm with Robins on this; I don't like it. I also see that it's silly if we're the only ones not doing it. Many's opinion on Sheffield United isn't fair, and based on an image they have of the club itself, not on the football their current team plays. I *was* impressed with them. They...

Which isn't all that impressive when you consider their budget far outstrips the majority of their opponents. It's their ability to stop goals that's impressive. Whether you're impressed with them or not, or whether you would swap a more expansive style for theirs if it meant an improvement or...

Ancelotti?

Never really as dour as all that, though, were they. Partly Graham's personality and a well-drilled offside trap gave them the 'boring Arsenal' reputation. They frequently battered teams in that era.

There's a question that's taken a bit of googling to remember which was which. 88-89 my favourite. Others standing out as having enjoyed: 89-90; 98-99; 99-00; the first lot of Championship years were turgid, but 01-02 had some enjoyable moments, as did some of 03-04; Coleman's years were...

But that wasn't a team that specialised in winning ugly. Far from it, but you can't win them all with free-flowing attacking football. Burnley *are* side set up to win ugly, and instructed to do all they can to disrupt a game, not all of those things within the laws of the game. Would I want...
