    Manchester United fans in WT 92/93

    Don't know what year it was but the only time I ever got ejected from a ground was at HR against Manure. Was giving them some grief back through the fence. As we reached the gates they told me it was for my own safety as I was surrounded by them in the West Terrace.

    Spot on. The deliberate save would normally be a touch from the GK with the ball going towards the goal.

    Did you not read the FA rules I posted? The ball was deliberately played by the defender. It hit a team mate. If the GK had touched the ball it would have been deemed a save then offside. Edit. Posted exactly the same as above but not done as clearly.

    Offside without what could be seen as a pass to a team mate. If the last Norwich player to touch it was the GK deemed to have made a save it would also have counted as offside.

    If the Norwich defender hadn't passed to/hit his team mate it would have been offside.

    Not as simple as that. The player wasn't offside from the throwin. The player got the ball after an attempted pass. This call could have gone either way as it could have been interpreted either way as was the header an attempted pass? The rule is if an attempted pass is made and the ball is...

    The Brazilian is close. Just a few hairs breadth in it.

    It's a long, hard season. Crap pitches at this time of the season don't help. The one big bonus for us will be if EMC and Wright don't have any setbacks. They will be fresh against players that are knackered. Rudoni will be coming back against players not 100%.

    Sorry but I have to disagree. 3pm gives a chance to hit a few bars. Sink a few jars and get in the mood for it. 12:30 is get to the ground and the game starts especially on the longer journeys. I know many don't have a few jars before the game. But many do. I know I'm more up for it having a...

    There's too much overthinking here. Quick round of applause for saving us from oblivion. Then it's 11v11. Our players won't be thinking about it while running up the wings or taking a shot. We've got the better players. We've got the better team. And dare I say it we have the better manager...

    Is it? For the contract to be changed mid term it would have to benefit both sides. The clubs would want more money. Sky would want more games. So how could it be irrelevant?

    Rudoni injury

    Would be difficult just using one arm and making sure you don't jolt the injured shoulder. I did mine about 15 years ago. Just raising my elbow was enough to make it pop back out. But total rest with my arm in a sling for about a month IIRC helped greatly. He seems to be a natural athlete so...

    You can only polish a turd a certain amount. But at the end of the day it's still a turd. They have injury problems. Even if some come back for this game they won't be ready for the intensity needed. We have won every league game for two months now other than against Leeds. Robins knowing our...

    Sunderland lost their best player and another main player a couple of games ago to injury. Wright could be back on form by the time we play them. There's no reason to expect a defeat in that game. But we are due to lose a game we play well in. It won't be the end of the world when we lose a game.

    It wasn't long ago where the comment was we wouldn't catch up with the top 6. The only time my confidence dipped on this was after our defeat against Norwich. If we beat Sunderland at home the gap becomes 9 points. In their last 9 games they got 15 points. In our last 9 games we got 24 points...

    It doesn't happen much especially with Sky. If the viewing figures are high for the Championship games there may be even more money available but they would want something in return. These negotiations will start in a couple of years or so. Hopefully they will see the value of more competitive...

    Of course they can. But Sky won't want to pay more for the contract already signed and the football clubs won't want more games to be shown/have more games rearranged from the normal times and dates.

    We need to finish 4th or 5th for our best chance of getting the one off game for Wembley. How things stand we won't catch up with any sides on GD presently in the top 6. Not worth worrying about yet.
