The house belonged to an Iraqi.
He was such an idiot.
He used to call George Gale on the phone (remember the character ?) every morning to complain about the rates.

90+11 mins in a one goal 0 red card game is wicked 

Injury time was 8 minutes which you can expect in every game from now on. It was reported that refs are instructed to give big extra time like we had on World Cup because people in charge are concerned about effective time in games going even lower. 3 mins on top was because of Walker and Partey injuries.

I don't know what are they waiting and don't change the rules of the game. 2x30 mins with stop watch is the way to go.

So that 5th place for CL next season is based on English clubs results this season in Europe. Ironically we would have to cheer for them in case we are in that position.

English teams being among two best leagues this season is not given especially with teams like Newcastle in CL, even Arsenal is back after many years and United does not have good record for years.

Brighton, AV and WH also in Europe, you do not know how far they will go. But it is best league so should get that 5th spot. But not sure what happens if Liverpool win EL does that make it 6 spots?

PL is back. Don't expect much from Burnley tho. 

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Refs have been told to clamp down on, and have zero tolerance re time wasting and dissent in 23-24 *

 

*Certain clubs to be exempt.

Haaland off the mark early

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Five Burnley 'defenders' round him. Fucking Keystone cops

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Jesus Christ hes insane.

[Hamilton 2,120]

Kompany needs to adapt for sure, they will not have the ball as much as last year.

[robsblubot 3,595]

Haaland is the typical natural goal scorer... he will be scoring  goals until he retires.

He's not the most skillful strikers I've seen play the game (not even close), so the way to stop him is to kill service--evidently easier said than done with a team like City.

Can already tell Burnley are going to really struggle in the PL based on how they’re defending here. Leaving De Bruyne WIDE OPEN repeatedly to whip in those signature crosses.

We probably wont see it today, but they actually can play some great attacking football.
