Is this the much vaunted non league football that MrK is always championing.

I on the other hand enjoyed an excellent FACup tie, its always good to win away and be in the First Round Proper

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
Football is very quickly heading (no pun intended) towards games being played behind closed doors, with TV rights being the winner.
They won't even need refs and linesmen (sorry, line persons) because VAR is proving to be so successful

Let's face the crowds are unecessary, and could be CGI'd in. Or maybe live feeds from folks on their sofa...

Its strange how VAR works far better in European football but alas when it comes to Britain we make a complete pigs ear of it..

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
A draw just about the right result today, a much better performance made Liverpool look quite ordinary for most of the game. Some tired legs in last 20 minutes but overall a big improvement.

Well not losing is an improvement, I'll give you that . As for tired legs, professionals or overpaid lightweights?

We were poor today so a point is a point gained rather then points lost.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
When you have less than 35% possession you do tend to have to run about a bit. Also constant fouling can slow you down, check out the fouls against stat.

If you're a Premiership footballer you'll never need to work again.
Granted, in semi-pro football it's a real dilemma whether to go full time or not, particularly if they already have a good career. It's a big risk.

The Premiership represents a small percentage compared to most footballers in the football pyramid.

What about the Championship , League one , League two as they are not on millionaire wages as one of our ex players is a taxi driver and l am sure most players in those divisions have to work to make a living as not much of the cash filters down there Mr K.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
The yellow peril that is Mike Dean strikes again, 9 yellows tonight. What a huge contrast to Martin Atkinson at Old Trafford yesterday in a game that was as equally contested as this, only one yellow card.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
I hope Lacazette feels as big a wally as he looked when he views that appalling simulation.
