      Haha, no worries Mav.

      I thought ‘Watford’ stemmed from when Watford were either at Vicarage Road or Old Trafford playing United and were a goal up or something under Van Gaal.

      Lol, I think they had some good results or some ‘overwhelming’ outcomes, and people who understood the joke just joined in with ‘Watford’.

      It’s all Solvite, Skin tight T’shirts, Big Hair and a Certain John Barnes pre 1987 lol πŸ˜€

        And would the Ref conveniently be carrying a Dictation Machine or his Smartphone and have the Record Button on stand by?

        The verbals could have been in a language outside English speaking Pagan!

          Need somebody like him on board just should FSG play up – hahahah πŸ˜€

          This is hilarious whichever way you look at it πŸ˜€

          I’d be more bothered about my weekly bin collection and the state of my ‘manor’ than a player’s transfer move that I probably won’t have a say in lol!

              And by the way, just read elsewhere on the off chance this being compared to ‘Suarez-Evra’ and ‘T-shirts’.

              Gosh, let’s not even go there!

                Hightown, just pulled this part out of your comments as I had an exact incline in my mind:

                “it is Holgate’s word against Firmino’s, and as the ref was right there at the time of the alleged comment and didn’t hear anything”

                  As for Teamtalk, to put it into analogy: Looking at it just pains me because the site I came across and fell in love with against what is now…..

                  It just comes across as though it’s on it’s last legs.

                  I never realized till once not long ago just how brilliant and an asset Live Scores was on a Saturday. They were spot on with updates against Real Time.

                  Sky were a big outlet of their Sponsor and they had a proper Headquarters in Leeds.

                    Amen to that Ed, and thanks for creating all this for us guys, it’s truly great.

                    I wish there was a way you could make some dough out of this. There is something in it via advertising and hits.

                    I was thinking of creating a You tube channel (something I never taken the plunge) to deliver employability skills – just the basics, but have no idea what it could fetch or the impact it could potentially make to raise the profile.

                          Ed, agree re the idea of a new face brought in on principle. It would deflect the attention off Coutinho.

                          Though I think we need to play this steadily and not be hasty.

                          I do feel already within some quarters of the Media, they seem to have forgotten we’ve only just brought in Van Dijk!

                          The loss of Coutinho I feel will affect unlocking those set pieces outside the box, and somebody unleashing one into the top corner from open-play.

                          Riyad maybe a possibility? Lanzini? I don’t know, but I don’t believe this would hamper really our position as far as CL qualification goes.

                            It’s pretty scary and freakish with the fact that Holgate shows so emotion or any expression of remorse after his actions. His face remains ice cold. He grabbed hold of Lallana, then pulled away like it was non-existent, and then he blatantly out of nothing man-handles Roberto Firmino who fortunately was not seriously injured.

                            He’s a scumbag, there’s no two ways about it. I read something about the possibility of a 10 game ban on Firmino but nothing on Holgate. Sometimes I really don’t get some of the reporting that’s on public domain and selective too in their nuances.

                              I was hugely pleased in spite of BT, the number of games covered live by the BBC – Newport County on BBC Wales and were fortunate to get ours live, Friday Night.

                              I do agree – needed a good portion of excitement from Saturday and as you quite rightly point out, the only real shock came from the Ricoh which saw the sword finally fall on Mark Hughes.

                              I still think the romance of the Cup is there – can’t wait for the draw tonight.

                                There were more upsets compounded on the back of Sunday’s results.

                                Fleetwood on Sat was a bit unusual and Leicester you’d think would edge through first time of asking.

                                Something of a ‘I smell a rat’ in the direction of bets.

                                Didn’t think Leeds would get knocked out by Newport and honestly didn’t think the Gunners would go out the way they did as Forest have been rubbish and recently have had a Managerial change.

                                VAR to be trialled tonight ala Brighton and Palace. I wonder what’s in store πŸ™‚

                                  Just seen him in Barca colours and he just looks happy. He’s a wonderful lovely soul and although I’m sad he’s no longer a Red, I wish him well.

                                    Apparently, one certain Rag has started it’s stirring on us again. They think we should stump up 145 on Mahrez, just because we fetched that type of though on Phillipe.

                                    Yes, Mahrez is good but you’re comparing a maybe high-end Focus against a quality spec Audi!!!!!!

                                      I’m sure I’ve seen Wise-fan previously on this site before this week – just seemed like any other poster to me, though liked in particular in him recognizing other decent Managers like David Wagner and Eddie Howe.

                                        Chucky, my friend, I’d have to unfortunately disagree with you on that one.

                                        I know particularly in this type of industry you need to be able to toughen up and have a ruthless streak, but in my years of experience in following the game, there have been Gentlemen in Management and ones in which brought decorum to the game.

                                        The late Sir Bobby Robson being one of them. Always loved too the late Emlyn Hughes when he used to come on Question Of Sport – just a lovely bloke.

                                        To a large degree, I can see where you’re coming from and there’s more people easily to dislike than like the way the industry is now be it a Player or a Manager – would still remain in faith that there are some good uns out there.

                                          Jim, on the other part of your point/post linked to what I think there’s something underlying within this thread, there’s an element of tribalism and preciousness. I think as the thread unravelled more comments, that’s when it started to get a bit heated.

                                          There’s a few decent Managers on the circuit so to me, they are not all ‘Asshats’ to coin Chucky’s choice in use of term.

                                          I don’t know whether it’s the Media that are doing this due to the ‘Big 6’ in the league, but there always tends to be more exposure and coverage of those Managers occupying the jobs of those clubs.

                                          I think Poch is one of the least, the Media don’t really seem to pick up as he’s just naturally mild-mannered and doesn’t tend to say anything outside his comfort zone.

                                          Wenger seems to regularly land himself an FA charge everytime he criticizes the Referee. And the ones with strong character and personalities that leave quotes are the ones Journos and Reporters love as a it’s an easy Headline-maker for them with column inches filled.

                                            Jim yes, but I don’t like my own handling and felt I went too deep into the subject of this particular thread, probably because I was ill at the time and was frustrated in not being able to go out

                                            Becoming embroiled into a negative type of thread just eats you away and before you know it, you end up wanting to take it out on someone.

                                            Why is some BBC reporter wooden spoon-stirring onto Conte? It’s personal and has nothing to do with football.
