Pleased for Sheff Utd and always thought they will get to 20 points comfortably, never mind 11.
Having said that, I don't view that as a handball. I don't understand why handling the ball whilst clearly having your shirt pulled before and during the incident takes precedence over the shirt pulling. You could argue that the shirt pulling caused the handball but it does not really matter as shirt pulling is a foul and happened before the handball offence.

Sheff Utd aren't great but they will easily beat 11 points. I think they are more likely to stay up than beat our record.

Ferrie Bodde was a great near miss from our perspective. Sadly got injured soon after our interest ended and retired early.

That Welterweight division is stacked with talent and Khan will avoid all of them to get knocked out by Paquiao. And everyone will buy it.
I'm surprised he hasn't called out McGregor for another farce.
That Mayweather/McGregor fight was ridiculous. The real fight was GGG v Canelo and those two clowns played out a pantomime for a fortune
Can't argue with the Mayweather/McGregor farce.
With regards Khan, I think he has a better resume to date than Kell Brook, who has only fought three fighters of note and lost to two of them. Brook is certainly a more likeable person and also a very good boxer.
I agree that Khan, who must be aware that he can be knocked out by anyone, looks to take on the highest calibre opponent he can as it looks better if he loses. He was though doing a good job against Canelo and Garcia before the KOs. His only loss on points was to a pumped up Lamont Peterson. If he could take a punch I think he would be an absolute superstar.

Don't understand all the vitriol toward Khan. He is largely in exciting fights, driven by the potential of a single knockout punch at any given point. He has probably fought more top level fighters than any other current British fighter and has done most of it in the US where it so difficult. He may have lost a few, but dusts himself down and goes again.
Brook is probably the one person he should have fought but hasn't - probably by pushing too hard for a Pacquio or Mayweather bout.
OK, hes a bit dim, but so would you be if you got knocked out 3 times in such spectacular fashion.

No doubt that he has taken us backwards, but an egomaniac? I once saw a list of all the charitable donations he has made in the area and causes that he supports that are not publicised at all and would question calling him an egomaniac. That prospective Spanish owner however, he definitely is.
For every good owner (i.e. successful) there are probably two or three bad ones. It does not make them bad people.
