Rival watch

Come on Fulham

 

Liverpool throwing away the title on day one

 

Are you clutching at straws Luke?

 

On the one hand I really hope Fulham hold on

On the other I dread Norbert's insufferable bitching if they do...

 

If I had any to clutch, I would

 

Great move from Fulham to end in hitting the post Unlucky.

 

He will probably blame having to play the Community Shield one week before the season started. You know just like every other champion and cup winners for the last 40 years, but of course.Liverpool. are a special case.

Fulham doing well

 

They can take away ownership and sell to a new owner. But they usually allow owners to sell the franchise to someone else, as long as the new owner is approved by a vote of the other owners. In a case where they banned an owner for racist remarks, they banned his wife as well; "the league stated that "if a controlling owner's interest is terminated by a 3⁄4 vote, all other team owners' interests are automatically terminated as well". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Sterling. He was allowed to sell the franchise to someone else, but he did that under pressure, as it appeared that if he didn't, the NBA would repossess the franchise.

 

Interesting system.

 

Over 2 million visits to this thread, that's amazing.

 

Well done Fulham

 

Right, what're the rules for the Norbert post-match drinking game?

Take a shot for
- Whinging about the Community Shield
- Whinging about the penalty
- Whinging about imagined fouls in the buildup for Fulham's first goal
- Whinging that somebody mistook him for Michael Fabricant on the street

 

Good match, Fulham might think themselves unlucky not to have won perhaps. No idea how they got 5 minutes extra time though. Whilst you might say that you could just about explain it, the problem is that in another game with the same stoppages a completely different number of minutes would have been added (fewer I think!) I suspect if Liverpool were winning then it would have been fewer. But the main point is that there should be independent timekeeping, and you should be able to see the clock stopped when nothing is happening, then there's no suggestion of bias or wrong timekeeping.

 

You would just have fights about stopping the clock. An Independent time keeper is a good idea though, it's just a question of how you do it.

 

Correct about the bitching, the pitch was too dry , some of his salty tears will sort that out

 

We should be waving Winks CV under Evertons nose after tonight's score and injury situation
