Yep, that was certainly fitting! Almost willed it into existence.

Meh... Not overly impressed tbh. The whole 'Black Cats' thing is hilarious in itself. They didn't have a proper nickname so just made one up for themselves in the 2000s.

This is probably a fair reason.

Always expected MvE to move on this summer & that's about as good a replacement as we could hope for whilst making a sizeable profit too.

Ha ha. I know you're on the wind-up but I'll entertain you this once. Games played clauses are common place in contracts, I'd be more surprised if there wasn't one. What is clearly nonsense is: A) It would be a £2m lump sum based on his next appearance B) That's the reason he didn't feature...

Onye Igwe just told him to lose weight.

Or why he'd have agreed a deal with such a clause in it in the first place. It's obvious conspiracy nonsense.

Love this 😆

Palace fans are great.

No.

Of course. He's clean through, straight at goal with no defenders. If he wasn't clipped he would 100% get an unchallenged shot at goal so, unfortunate as it was for the accidental clip, it has to be DOGSO.

But it's impossible. You're just adding another layer of subjectivity on another.

Yup. VAR has ruined the sport at the 'top' levels.

The "Denying an Obvious Goal-Scoring Opportunity" (DOGSO) law in football, also known as the Professional Foul Law, was introduced in 1990... For Lineker to say he had never heard the "Obvious" part before is embarrassing frankly.

It was a possible goalscoring opportunity but not necessarily an OBVIOUS goalscoring opportunity or an obvious error due to the direction of play & the presence of a defender etc. It probably should have been a red card but once it's not given on field it won't get overturned. Baffling that...

Impossible. And that's why it's not got involved for the Henderson handball.

Phenomenal player, loved watching him.

I'm still convinced there's a player in there. It wouldn't surprise me if he went on & did well elsewhere, but it seems Lampard doesn't believe he can get it out of him so probably best he moves on in the summer.

Used to be a huge fan in the late 90s, early 2000s (your photo brings the nostalgia!) but my interest has waned somewhat with the way the game has changed so significantly since. Orlando Magic are my team & the amazing duo of Shaq & Penny are my all time heroes!
