Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

Just clocked Jags red card - shambles of a decision.

No need for Var on that at all, where is the clear and obvious error - the yellow was fine.

Bring back woy

Hodgson would be a funny pick for bullens' profile but it will have to cut deeper. A lesson needs to be learned.

Barnsley are flying at the moment. Six wins on the spin and a, point outside of the playoff places but with a game in hand. Would love them to come back up.

Great day for us

Let us not squander it

As a United fan it was desperate tonight , no urgency no commitment really poor stuff , we have surrendered the title to the oil rig

At no point was you ever going to win the title or even be close to winning it.

Blame the manager for playing him in a high line.

@Zatara

I see your comparing 90 year old Jagielka with Keane now...

Good...good...let that flow through your veins.

I looked it up because of this post and wow is that a horrible decision. I mean the covering defender is a solid 5 yards closer to the goal. Yes it stops a 2v1 situation but that isn't the law.

Now there does need to be something done about that type of tackle Jags made. Because as the rules are supposed to work the punishment is yellow and that just isn't enough imo considering the level of chance that might come about. But as it only might come it can't be a red.

Never seen it. Now I don’t think I ever will.

Tom Hardy, Baby oil, guards and prison

You never had a chance at any point hardly surrendered

Christ that was some set of results

Hence why I cant see Gbamin coming back anywhere near good enough for this level.

I didn't know he had snapped his Achilles

I didn't know he had snapped his Achilles

Koscielny and Beckham are the two spring to mind as making complete recoveries from torn Achilles. Beckham did his before the 2010 World Cup from memory.

So, I looked at Koscielny's injury record and it's interesting*. He was twice injured at Arsenal with Achilles tendon problems, before the tear in May 2018. He missed a total of 199 days with the tear before returning to the Arsenal first team in October 2018 and has had no further troubles with it.

Gbamin has to date missed 280 days with his tear, on the back of the 229 he missed with the hamstring injuries. He's played a total of 135 Premier League minutes with us. The lad has had an absolutely brutal time of it and to agree with @ForeverBlue92 I don't see how he can return to the level needed.

*Interesting to me, at least.

Today is going one of two ways... Everton defeat the championship bound West Bromwich Albion to cement their serious top 4 challenge, and Chelsea triumph over the floundering Liverpool to all but end their hopes of Champions League football....
Or Everton bottle it and the RS spawn a 0-1..........
My experience gives me one conclusion!!

I wouldn't mind a tie between Chelsea and RS so we can leap frog them both

I still remember it like yesterday when they went up back in 1997. I so wanted them to stay up also.

Hopefully this will be their season they finally do, it would be amazing after almost going down last season and had that great escape (although on a points deduction technicality for Wigan).
