Luton fans last night saying how they should have spent better in the PL.
What does that actually get you though?....
Perpetual 17th and all you are doing is getting money to keep buying players & their obscene salaries to keep you.... 17th.
Repeat.
Waste of time. All that is happening is the income from the PL is going straight to the players (and agents) leaving nothing left for anything else.
I actually think they made the right choice by the looks of it. Buy some players and don't do a Southampton. They did make quite a decent fist of things on the most part and were 2 wins and a draw from safety. Most of their defeats were generally by a goal or two. Southampton have shipped 5 goals three times already so far and are on course to have one of the worst PL seasons of any club in recent history.
Looks like they've decided to use the money to finish off the new stadium which it totally the right thing to do.
Rule 10, sub paragraph C, version 32, sub-amend IV;
"If the ball hits the players arm but the player is align with the winter/summer solstice (as appropriate), is facing westwards and into a downwind, has a tattoo of their kids birthday in roman numerals, has a haircut not out of place on the Muppet Show then the goal is disallowed".
Further sub-amends to follow each week.
*not actually accurate, all comments designed for comedic effect
Looking at the comments last night on Luton's offical FB page, 99.999% of their fans said we deserved the win regardless of luck, 'handball' etc. In fact, there was not one mention last night that it should have been disallowed.
He was doing this against Watford too (thought not as dramatic). I was in the lower school end right behind the goal and when they had their goal disallowed he just stood there taking a quick slurp of water grinning at the Watford fans. I have it on my camera phone, I'll try and find a way of uploading it.
I don’t subscribe to this “players might get injured” train of thought. Players can get injured in any game. They get injured in training, they get injured going down the stairs. Rest them if fatigued or out of form, yes, not to avoid injury otherwise just don’t play them in any game then.
Both are possible but i think relegation is more realistic than play offs so we just need to focus and keep plugging away. Easy to get cocky and suddenly dragged back in.
We’re in a rich vein of form. As long as the players are ok and ok about it, keep the same starting XI as the last couple of games. Plenty of time to rest now as we didn’t just have a Saturday/Wednesday games.
It was the deftest of touches. So much so, the defenders, officials and away fans didn’t complain. It’s a daft rule, not everything is black or white. As said, it seems virtually impossible to score a legitimate goal these days with everyone desperate to find a reason to disallow them.
This is why i enjoy watching youth football. Refs let stuff like that slide because they don’t want to be stopping the game every 30 seconds. They like to keep the game flowing and as long as its genuinely accidental, which 99% of the time it is, then everyone just gets on with it. Really does happen both ways so there’s never really any one team being favoured.
I really don’t see a problem with Frey’s goal but it seems modern football is a game where the authorities try to do everything they can to stop goals being scored.
I lived in north Watford (Leavesden Road) for a couple of years from 1988 and went there a few times. Back in the days when the DJ was just someone playing other people's records and often you didn't know where they where situated. Now they are still someone just playing other people's records but for some reason are now front of stage and given god-like status.
24/7 news on multiple outlets has caused competition so anything and everything is deemed newsworthy (most isn’t) and has to be sensationalised to get your attention.
It’s actually dumbing everything down and becoming very juvenile.
Feels to me all this cup final malarkey only started once Troy Deeney said it and the fans just follow it like sheep. Not a single QPR fan i know has felt Watford were anything such like or remotely close.
Coldest was at Loftus Road (Feb 2006) but Iceland v Trinidad & Tobago in a friendly. Never experienced that coldness before or since, not even oop norf.
Wettest was QPR v Reading, Simod cup thingy (or similar sponsor). In the walk from White City station to the ground the heavens opened and it absolutely deluged, far more than yesterday. Got absolutely soaked. Kick off delayed and had to sit there drenched. Game eventually started and I think we lost 3-1. Got home thoroughly miserable and wet from head to toe.
Hmmmm, tough one to call. Still a long way to go and clubs can still nosedive or climb over the next few months.
Chelsea aside I don’t really hate any club but I do have a tingling for Derby. There’s something about them that makes them think they are some kind of big club. They’re not, they really aren’t. A purple patch in the early-mid 70’s….tier 2 champions in ‘87, that’s it. Since then we have been League title runners up, FA Cup finalists, League Cup finalists, League cup semi finalists and 2nd tier champions twice. They really do have a superiority complex when they are no bigger or better than loads of other clubs.
