It is pretty shocking and I think a lot of houses are built of wood, as opposed to brick, so would have gone up in flames like tinder-sticks.
We have one of our major head offices in Santa Monica so there is concern here for our colleagues who work there. Thankfully it's been reported this morning none of the staff (and family & friends) are affected so that was good to hear.
If anyone thinks anything in particular is oversaturated on media platforms (and it may well be), there are others things one can do.... read a book, watch a film, watch another channel, go for a walk, have a wnk.....
With Leicester second from bottom and five straight league defeats maybe they might play their second XI. Worst case scenario is they play their full team, lose and have players suspended or injured.
I know i said on another thread that players can get injured in any match but it makes sense in this case for Leicester to play a weakened team, and for us to play a full strength team if we have any chance of being in the hat for round 4.
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 (though 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.
