Still a poor result for Chelsea, that. Happy for Lampard and Solksjaer to limp on like this. 

100%...want them to average 5/9...enough to not be a crisis, not enough to do anything...

Redknapp is a joke where Lampard is concerned really. Looking forward to it properly crumbling.

Which it will. 

Oh, it will. 

 

[Cam]

Ings 1-0. Feck off Dyche.

Thinking about the Mancs game and betting... would bookies be compelled to pay out on the (first) full-time score? 

And if not then imagine the odds you'd get on 'in-play' by selecting one of the teams to win despite it having finished as a draw.

Redknapp is a f***ing idiot

No. 

It was finished to the point that the auto settlement paid the draw out and had to be reversed.

Penalty decision was right by current handball rules. And happened during the game. The problem was the corner given in the first place. 
 

my highlight was still Maguire having a s*** on the pitch after Brighton’s equaliser.

Roy speaking sense on the handball rule on MOTD...

"I predict what will happen is players will start flicking the ball onto a hand and screaming 'handball'," added the 73-year-old.

Errr, you mean like Suarez kept doing at Old Trafford about 7 years ago?

I think the rule’s a nonsense, that’s what I think. And I can’t understand how we, football, thinking about the Premier League, the referees, ourselves, the coaches and managers, and I’m thinking about the players, how we’ve allowed this rule to come into operation is beyond me, and it’s ruining the game of football, there’s no question about that. Because the rules of football which are understood and are accepted by people from quite an early age, these days we’re in a situation where even we, experienced coaches and players, even we can’t understand what constitutes a handball and what doesn’t.

[Jarg Armani]

Fernandes was 10/1 to score a pen yesterday 

 

 

[Earl Hafler]

Those scenes during the Manc penalty review - should be a game ban for a few of them, including Maguire. 

Idiots

[Beardsley]

Sheffield United vs Leeds United. Descent game. Leeds looks quite good. Sheffield looks like they will struggle this season

Didnt know Gabriel Jesus is also injured and will miss about 3 weeks - he'll miss Leicester today then Leeds away and possibly back for Arsenal on October 17th. Thats their 2 main strikers out injured. Hopefully they drop points with the injuries.

Reckon he spoke sense... Saying its the fault of people within the game and they should sort it. Basically said the simple rule is that using your hand to prevent a goal or gain an advantage is handball and a penalty, everything else is ball to hand and not a penalty... Think he's spot on...

Absolute state of this handball rule. 

[Bootle Buck]

Barcodes get a penno in injury time 1-1 

[Gerry]

Another penalty for handball in the last minute in the Spurs vs Newcastle game. Hodgson will be go apoplectic.

1-1.

[stressederic]

God that's a bad call.

[Swipe]

Kane red carded?

[Beardsley]

The new handball rule is a joke. But I love seeing Maureen walking out in disgust. Harry Kane getting a red too?

[Bootle Buck]

Are they trying to just do away with defending all together? You can't do anything anymore. Not so long ago defenders could tackle, wrestle with attackers, go in from behind. Now they dare not even touch an opponent. This hand ball ruling is pathetic.
