Definitely, that could be this season’s Blackburn moment. Blackburn might only have been a draw but it also stopped Blackburn pulling away from us. That point (and Blackburn losing 2 points) was critical in the end and put us in the playoffs.

The surprise is that some people are surprised how good he is. You only have to have watched one of the games he’s played against us in the last 5 years to see that he’s one of the best midfielders in the championship. No surprise he’s doing it for us too.

Baggies is currently 3pm. We’ll find out next Thursday if that’s changed (cue next meltdown).

It’s funny how Haji’s added-time winner against Luton this season, from 0-2 down, has been forgotten already. As always, the most recent comeback/late winner is always the best ever. Recency bias at is finest!

Looks like I touched a nerve! Go on, admit you almost enjoyed a 12:30 kickoff, it will do you good. Then the next one will be easier [emoji8]

Yet another sterile 12:30 kickoff today [emoji6]

Thank you, a voice of reason at last!

Pete, as someone who understands the laws of the game, what are your thoughts on the onside/offside debate?

Another one who doesn’t understand the offside law. It rebounds off #20 (he doesn’t deliberately play it) so cannot be playing the striker onside. It is only played on if it is deliberate. So if we all accept that the striker is standing in an offside position, he is not played on, and is thus...

We’re not going to agree on this as you clearly don’t understand the concept of the throw ending the minute it touches another player (it does not have to be a team mate), so you continually saying “can’t be offside from a throw in” is a red herring. Guarantee that VAR rules that out (we’ve...

He hasn’t received the ball from a throw so that is absolutely irrelevant. He has received it an offside position from a rebound so is offside.

The relevant section from Law 11 as you don’t seem to believe it 2. Offside offence A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by: gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with...

I don’t need to see the video again as I’ve watched it 10 times in slow motion on Sky as I couldn’t believe it had been allowed.

The scorer is in an offside position the whole time, so is offside. Why do you think he is onside when he is clearly in an offside position throughout?

Read what I said above, I’m not sure how else to explain it. As soon as it hit #20 on the back and bounced through to the striker it is offside, as #20 clearly didn’t deliberately play it. It was a rebound and thus offside (as clearly defined in the Offside law). Re your point on the long...
