"He will now be available as a free agent in what is expected to herald a stampede of interest from clubs in the UK and overseas."

That's Confucius isn't it?

It's a really bad decision, the worst of the ones that people have been complaining about recently IMHO.

Yeah I agree. But on lots of past occasions when we've got away with it, people on here have kidded themselves that "the opposition posed little threat", "we restricted them to very few opportunities", "we comfortably controlled them" etc. And if it hadn't been for a couple of outstanding...

Scores of 5 for EMC today are crazy. Are people expecting prime Ryan Giggs? Always seen by the opposition as a big threat, so he's subjected to constant physical battles. There's so much quality and strength in his play that seems to go unappreciated here. The way he took that long ball down...

Both fullbacks missing in action there :(

He's put out quite a humble and sincere statement there*, in stark contrast to some of the weasel words you get from a lot of modern players. It's never nice to see anyone forced out of the profession through injury, and I hope he finds happiness in whatever comes next. * hopefully it's not...

Nothing we've seen so far from Brau has shown him to be more than an interesting punt in the foreign market. He definitely hasn't yet looked like a reliable defender, and the complete misjudgement against Charlton reinforces that. Equally, he's shown a few hints of potential with the ball, and...

Brilliant, far too good for this place 🤣

Best match I've ever seen was the 4-3 against Spurs in 1986. But I've just looked it up and it would appear we were away at QPR on the Boxing Day, and Spurs at home the next day on 27th. Hard to believe we played on consecutive days?! So I expect this one's going to be chalked off by bloody VAR.

In this case, it looked to me like their shot might have been on target if it hadn't been deflected by Lati's hand / arm, which might have provided a reason to give a pen. He'll get rapped over the knuckles for failing to enforce the FA's anti-Cov bias that we keep hearing about on here.

If refs are told (correctly IMO) to allow accidental contact with the hand or arm when it's naturally at a player's side, it begs the question why so many defenders ludicrously cross their arms behind their backs.

Shockingly poor half of football from both sides.

Choirboy image takes another heavy knock 😂

A little thought experiment to start the new year! Imagine the player in red is Rudoni, attacking from left to right as we look at it. He heads the ball forwards and runs after it. Now think of Haji as an opposition defender. He steps across Rudi's path knocking him backwards and sending him to...

It's not even clear who Robbie was having a go at - two other people seem to think it was them 🤣 As you say, nuts whoever it was aimed at.

Scored freely in the French league, but would be too much of a gamble to get him up to speed in the Championship. It's a no from me.

It's gone way past when their player's head is knocked back by the collision 🤷‍♂️ Honestly, only the ref's opinion counts doesn't it, and I wish I'd never tried to show what his thinking must have been. Apparently the TV pundits agreed with the ref too, so I'll take that as a crumb of comfort...

Is that directed at me?
