    So why are we looking at pictures of a ball and a white line and anyway you can't see a ball that is a metre past the line so I am not listening to you at all.

    Tbf at ground level from half a pitch away you have no chance of seeing a ball cross a line unless you are looking along that line.

    Ref had no chance mate, we all saw the pics from 50 foot in the air and the ball was at least a yard in the goal. from the refs point of view he was ****ed, give the goal and the cameras show it didn't go in he's a twat, deny the goal and the cameras show it did go in he's a twat.
    I think he went off the keepers reactions and the fact the net didn't ripple.

    In short, he was a twat <laugh>

    The irony of us not being awarded a goal (with a ball that was even slightly under inflated would have been deemed to be in) is that even discounting the ludicrous Mendes incident, wasn't there a couple of goals that Chelski got awarded against us for a ball that most certainly did not cross the line?

    That's why they make sure all the balls are correctly inflated, to stop Spurs scoring <ok>

    If he'd have gone with the keeper's reaction, then he would've given it. Carroll should never play poker.

    The Mail are reporting a bust up between Rose and Mourinho after he was left out on Saturday.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...Mourinho-Danny-Rose-bust-big-tension-air.html

    If there's any truth in it, he's got a ****ing nerve. We're down to filling his position with a 19 year old, right footed centre half, playing his third ever PL game because he can't be arsed to do too much more than run his mouth to the press and collect his wages.

    There's little of any benefit to either party arising from him remaining with us. Hopefully, we can allow him to realise his worth elsewhere, some time real soon..

    Cheers for the NLD wonder-strike and two and a half great seasons, Danny, but you really have overstayed your welcome now.

    Hurry up Ben Davies ffs!

    Danny Rose demanded answers as to why he weren't paying <laugh>

    1. You move like a wardrobe.
    2. You are **** at crossing.
    3. You can't pass.
    4. You can't control a ball.
    5. You're ****e tracking your man.
    6. You ain't had a good game in over 18 months.
    7. You are a terrible defender.
    8. You eat too many Mars bars.
    9. You make Aurier look good.
    10. You add nothing going forward.
    11. You add everything to the opposition when they are going forward.
    12. Do I really need to continue?
    Edit...
    13. You have the turning circle of an oil tanker.
    14. In the original jurrasic park film there is a scene where water moves in a glass as a low thumping noise is heard in the distance...the glass then begins to jump and it turns out that a dinosaur is coming close...that happens in all the bars around WHL when you trot out to warm up...lose weight lard arse!

    Winks gets a lot of criticism but unlike every other ****er, he stuck to the task at hand and was generally in the right position at the right times.

    Aurier is in advance of Lo Celso,which is how we're set up to play - rightly or wrongly? It was notable that Lo Celso was pretty decent defensively and fell into the right back slot on occasions when Aurier was in the final third of the pitch. Whether that removes his goal threat is a whole different question. He scored 14 goals last season for a poorly performing Betis and we could dearly do with some goals from midfield. Does Aurier offer enough of a return to keep playing like this? For me, he doesn't.

    Finally, are Lamela and Dele in each other's position? Dele's main skill is scoring goals, whereas Lamela's finishing is pretty limited but he runs better with the ball and is a whole lot tougher in the tackle.

    Other than that, it was a whole lot better than the Norwich debacle, particularly the first half of that game.
