Makes sense, although that makes the situation with the postponement even more absurd. Also falls over if any of those nations play in a nation that has the UK on the red list during this break and has similar restrictions I guess. All in all a total mess, not surprising given FIFA and some of the countries involved. |

Ban them for life! Or at least this weekend. Leicester play Man City, and the drop off between Ederson and Scott Carson is significant

The five day thing is a long standing rule to prevent clubs from refusing to release players for international duty. And considering how ridiculous some of the determination of 'red' countries were, I'm fine with South American countries asking to enforce it

I am catching up on the weekend's matches and I unexpectedly saw the Harvey Elliot injury. My sensibilities say that it was a a bad tackle but I understood that it was a fair tackle in the EPL. However the player was sent off because according to The Athletic it was "deemed to be serious foul play due to the intensity of the challenge and endangerment to Elliott." That does not make any sense to me. It feel like the red card was a result of the injury and not the tackle. This is especially the case since there is no allegation of intent. I am seeing that Leeds is going to appeal the red card and I agree with this decision. If the EPL is going to punish hard fair challenges when they cause injuries, they need to do the same when they don't and vice versa.
Also, Dortmund is must watch TV for me every week. They are going to score goals and give up goals consistently.

The context is the Luton Town player (in red) was trying to take a free kick quickly and the Swansea player was trying to be slick and stop the play. I feel like for all the conversation about athletes stopping an action midway through the action this should probably have been a red card. However, play stupid games...

Sometimes your team makes you look like the smartest guy in the stadium and other times they make you look like David Moyes looks right now.

That is one large dude playing up front for Wycombe. He looks easily 30-50 pounds heavier than anyone on the pitch.

Contracts for Muratan's transfer from FCSB (the club formerly known as Steaua Bucharest) to Galatasaray have been leaked. Interesting for FM2021 players, all the options and clauses tie in with the little buttons you have to press in an FM negotiation:

What is preventing an MLS team from winning a CONCACAF club competition?

I am still not seeing any benefits for players to stay on their feet in the penalty box.

Nope. You will never get a single call if you don't flop to the ground. It's why players do what they do.

The flopping dramatics are almost enough for someone like me not to watch. I wasn't much of an EPL fan until last year when I watched the shows on Amazon Prime. So, I don't have much history with it.
The kid who broke is ankle for Liverpool a few weeks ago didn't act anything like how these clowns act when they're barely or not even touched. It's lame. You have guys that don't get touched flop around on the ground for 4 minutes while the other team is scoring on their team. Lame.

He is very good. Watching the last 3 qualifiers, it's clear how important Tyler Adams is. He allows everyone else to be more creative. Just a totally different team when he isn't out there. I think when this squad has Pulisic and Reyna back, they're going to be really tough. |

Completely caught off-guard by Leicester's win over ManU. I had basically written this season off. Perhaps a reason for some optimism although the trend has been a hot start and crap end so if they finish weak again, it'll be a bottom half finish given how bad this start had been up until now.

I went to the game: we were excellent, but Utd made it easy for us. Our issues have largely been committing errors while trying to play out from the back against the press, and then not being positive enough in the final third. One we fixed ourselves: we had noticeably more men in the box than for a long time, but they played into our hands for the other - they just didn’t press, and we could pass around without jeopardy and pick our passes. They were really poor: Ronaldo, Sancho, Bruno were all non-factors, and even though they conceded 4, de Gea was their best player. Hopefully it gives us a boost, and we can use it to kick one

I just saw the incident. I am surprised that the supporters were able to get the attention of the players. It probably helped that Newcastle was down 2-1 at the time. I am even more surprised that the players actually took them seriously as opposed to taking it as some sort of banter or something to put the players off.

Man Utd and Liverpool not a cracker unless you enjoy watching Man Utd getting humped. And luckily I do.
4-0 Liverpool at half time. Man Utd will be trying to work out if they can fire a manager at half time, should never have been Ole. |

There is only like two managers worthy of managing Manchester United right? Maybe three if Sir Alex come out of retirement? I mean it can't be a midtable guy like Moyes. It can't be a experienced guy who has won things outside the Premier League like Van Gaal. It can't be a experienced guy who has won things in the Premier League like Mourinho. Now it can't be a club legend like Ole.
Who's next?

I thought this would be the return from shutdown change that became permanent. Looks like this will be the case moving forward.

AlexB, is Leicester going to lose Rodgers to ManU?
The one thing that I absolutely cannot understand about the popularity of football is what basically amounts to a caste system that people willingly live with. It's like living today what it must have been like being an American League non-Yankee fan from the mid-30s to the mid-60s. It's like 3-4 teams playing against their farm teams.

No chance of him going to Utd. He’s an ex-Liverpool manager for a start, and he’s personally holding out to succeed Pep at Man City.

It will be interesting to see who United's next manager will be. I assume they will just draw names from a hat. I'm pretty sure that's how their player recruiting works at least.

"The blind soldier fought for me in this war. The least I can do now is fight for him. I have eyes. He hasn’t. I have a voice on the radio, he hasn’t. I was born a white man. And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946 |
