This this this. Which is why comparisons with Amazon are flawed. Amazon (and more generally capitalism) is all about driving your competitors out of business, which is why we need to have laws to stop it from happening. If Liverpool were to drive all their competitors out of business they’d have...

I’m aware that heavier things take more energy to move, but as the articles above point out, they didn’t actually absorb much water, certainly not a bucketful. According to one of those articles they soaked an old-style leather ball in water and it gained 2-3 grams. Even with my knackered legs...

No it hasn’t. Edit: http://www.morethanmindgames.com/2010/06/26/an-enduring-football-myth-the-weight-of-the-ball/

As it goes, this is a myth. The weight of a (dry) football has hardly changed as it is specified in the laws of the game. The specifications have changed in that they are now grams rather than ounces, but the actual weight isn’t much different. The main difference is that modern balls are made...

Pioneers once again!

Other time wasting time goes on anyway, not convinced removing the option for substituting to waste time would necessarily increase other forms, but if so clamp down on it. A lot of the issue is refs allowing blatant time wasting anyway. Even after the rule that players had to leave at the...

I’ve never understood why they don’t literally stop the clock the second a team announces a substitution. Instantly you’d get zero time wasting (from subs) and almost no point in bringing on 3 subs in the last minute (apart from to disrupt the pattern of the game). Every team does it, but if...

Depending on whether they can play Austria on Wednesday, he seems to be in that squad. They are trying to cobble together a squad of players that don’t play in the Norwegian league. https://alkhaleejtoday.co/international/5359980/Traveling-with-a-reduced-troop.html

Reading it back you’re not wrong

When you say he gets more leeway than other players, are you talking about the wider fan-base, or just on here? Because he seems to get his fair share of criticism on here...

Who on here has written off Sheaf or abused him? He got a bit of stick first game (for being “ponderous” if memory serves), but since then has been rising in most people’s opinions. Facebook frothers don’t count. And for the record, I’m not a “Biamou fan boy”, and think we ultimately need...

Hmm, I’m not sure what other players being slated for absolutely nothing (re Hillßner who hasn’t even really played but is written off already by some) has to do with it. And yes, Walker’s goal was a tidy finish. Let’s see how many shots he needs to score over a season as opposed to one shot...

Ah, ok - 2 missed shots also don’t prove jack shit. Need a bigger sample size. I should say, I’m not claiming he’s the answer, just that some of the arguments against him could equally apply to players that are perceived to be far superior (they all miss sitters!). If he plays for half a season...

Rooney doesn’t seem like he’d be the next Alex Ferguson, amazed he’s passed the coaching exams tbf. Did they give him a by for the pro one (or hasn’t he got it yet?).

No doubt I’m being thick, but not sure what you mean...

Tbf that was only one shot, you’d have to check his conversion rate over time to get a better idea as to whether he ‘misses sitters’ for a living. All strikers miss shots from that range (and sitters). Anyone take Will Grigg over Max (he’s not on fire at the moment it seems):

In all seriousness though, would we not be a little overloaded in midfield? Could any money we may or may not have be better spent elsewhere given that we can’t play Kelly, Hamer, Sheaf and Walsh together? I mean, he would be a great option to have and if finances were more robust then maybe...

Let’s just hope for now.
