The Others. 

Wanted to watch a scary movie that wasnt rated 15+

Even better than I remembered. Atmospheric and gripping with a good twist. 8.5/10

Shat me right up

Too young for the reference ?

When he was manager of Spurs, his approach was to try to score one more than the opposition. Defending was not a priority.

It didn't last long.

Then don't play for clean sheets. Score 1 more than the opposition. We've got players good enough to do this. 

Are you Ossie Ardiles?

Southgate out for duck sake. We have talented players, our best crop in a while but this guy is going to waste them. Get a coach with some attacking flair at the helm. 7 defenders vs Denmark. 

We didn't have 7 defenders for very long

It's all just a bit dull really

I find it amazing just how long it takes to make a substitution these days

I've got better things to do with my life thanks

That is apparent from what you say constitutes and doesn't constitute a foul, yellow card etc.

Irrelevant of the colour of card, wasnt even a foul.

It was.

Studs up my arse. When a player slides in for a tackle are they supposed to stop as soon as they touch the ball?

How about having a read of the laws of the game?

Won the ball, shocking decision. Quickly followed by another.

You must have missed the studs-up follow through

Brilliant by Maguire. Like an old carthorse.

I swear Giggs was miming the Welsh anthem.

Calvert-Lewin been the high point of a pretty insipid England performance.  Don't know how some of the others have got caps to be honest.

It is pretty insipid but I think Grealish has been really good

Seems like there's a lot more conceded by keepers trying to play the ball out than scored by keepers playing the ball out. Maybe the message to be learnt from that is unless you're brilliant at it then you shouldn't try to be so clever.

Goalkeepers need to learn when to give it short and when to welly it. When Adrian had the ball, all his defenders were running back towards goal. Even if his pass had found its target, it would have been a player moving at speed facing his own goal. What would he have been expected to do with it? Idiotic.

This is amusing

That's true but the problem in the first place was that referees were making blatant inexcusable errors which also ruined games. I remember Cardiff lost to Chelsea as a result of 2 clear offside goals scored by Chelsea. This is why everyone wanted VAR so we would always get the correct decision. But it's almost as if we've gone to the complete extreme. Now linesman aren't even allowed to put their flag up. They have to wait for VAR to draw out lines over the video footage to see who's left toe is in front of the defender. It's a total joke. There is absolutely no common sense in any of these rules, or in the use of VAR.

There's a very significant error here. Not everyone wanted VAR.

Pep out!!!

Do the Man City forums have multiple threads for people to rant at the manager / suggest alternative managers etc?

Ask Gary and any number of pundits - “common sense” when it aligns with a popular theme for at a particular moment. It’s these guys who wanted all this VAR in the first place.

Laid at there’s, the players and managers feet this all does because they want to win at all costs and expect refs to be robots.

And yet, these Bamfords won't take any responsibility for this. They've driven demand for VAR, the laws have been changed to suit VAR and none of them will say, 'You know what, I was wrong. It was better when the referee was allowed to use his judgement, even if I didn't agree with it.'

Current and ex-players have lobbied for this by using their position to continue to grind an axe about referees. They ought to be ashamed of themselves but, conversely, it just gives them even more attention. Bamfords

How good is Vardy?

Sky have just shown a replay of the Man City goal (while the game was progressing and the ball was in play) so that we could listen to what Kasper Schmeichel was saying at the time....I know that live football without fans is a bit crap, but replays so we can hear what the players are saying? Good grief......

I couldn't actually make out what he was saying. It was the most underwhelming bit of 'insight' I have ever seen on Sky. And that is some going.

Where's the common sense? We're trying to make football sterilised and perfect. It's not a perfect game, never has been, never will be. And that's why we like it. But it's these farcical rules that urgently need to be changed. It's spoiling games. If that's handball, then there's no point of the players turning up. They should go on strike.

We could have players without arms. 
 

they are paid vast sums. The least they can do is have their arms amputated. Put them in the freezer and sew them back on when the player retires.
