@d_andradesport A mistake for me. The football is still not good, and I don’t think he’ll be given ling enough to turn it round.

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

How @British_Airways still have customers is beyond me. Try and try to book holidays with them and after nearly a year they still have not sorted the jersey leg of flights out.

Shocking as usual.

If I read this correctly, the top teams get to qualify automatically and the smaller nations are given a maximum of a play off… seems to create a really fair and equal playing field.

@skytv as much as I enjoy being told prices are going up, what I enjoy more is that I am unable to even see my products on the app and website and I’m forced to call. 2 years after I originally raised this issue.

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@British_Airways And it does for the flights Everytime, the rest of the holiday does no, so I had to do claim forms each time

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@British_Airways why is it that after every holiday I have to submit a claim form for my holiday tier points? Third time in a row I’ve had to do this!

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@d_andradesport @NathSalt1 There’s many subjective offsides, does a player interfere, do they block the keepers view etc

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@d_andradesport @NathSalt1 If you are advocating for VAR to be removed, why keep it for offsides? Just get rid of it and the assistants would improve in the same way as the referees surely?

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@JonnyLeck97 Think the bigger issue is our approach when teams sit in like that. West Ham are a big side, we spent the first hour trying to attack through floaty crosses, with no CF. Bring Sesko on and we stopped crossing it altogether, a massive lack of situational awareness.

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@British_Airways It is a fault, I was told this months ago, ended up on multiple phone calls for nearly an hour. Promising that it was being fixed. It’s either a consistent issue which never got fixed or only seems to occur during a sale.

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

So in the 4 months since I last tried to book a holiday with @British_Airways the website still has not been fixed, so once again I can’t book holidays from Jersey! SHOCKING!

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

If this is true, it shows such a lack of understanding of sports in the UK and Europe in general.

Something that might work in the US sports model but incomprehensible here.

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

Sheffield Wednesday administrators have received an extraordinary enquiry from the owners of Sheffield United, asking about a possible deal to merge the rival clubs.

It has been made clear that neither the EFL nor the new Football Regulator would allow such a merger to happen.

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@EvansLamboh It’s not that they can’t swear on a football pitch. It’s dissent, normally against the officials who have also worked a full week and travelled to the game.

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@slatterywill Yes, not sure why we would consider anything else. His track record shows that what he does works, we are not going to play teams off the park, but we should be out working them, which we saw last night.

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

That is excellent from @SpursOfficial! See so many times, players who are potentially concust playing on, only to be subbed shortly after.

Did they right thing with Bergvall, doesn’t matter what the player say they want to do, they should be protected.

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@MrBenHick @SkySports Completely agree! Happens all the time and makes no sense, here to watch this game! Happens a lot in international tournaments as well!

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@d_andradesport I think there is an angle where it possibly hits the shirt on his arm, so difficult to tell though.

What makes me think it’s possibly has is that he doesn’t really argue when it gets ruled out. If it hasn’t touched the arm, it’s an odd reaction!

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@JonnyLeck97 @d_andradesport But he would be there to be on the ball! He would be higher up the pitch?!

No one is arguing that Mainoo isn’t better on the ball, he won’t be in the right place when we do not have the ball that’s the problem.

If he plays it has to be for Fernandes

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@JonnyLeck97 @d_andradesport I didn’t say easily!

We will get torn apart with Mainoo and Fernandes as the midfield two, wouldnt see the ball so he wouldn’t be able to keep it even if he wanted to

[Chris Duncan @ChrisDuncan293]

@JonnyLeck97 @d_andradesport That’s what I’m saying though, you need to drop Fernandes for him, not those two.

Urgarte and Casemiro are far from perfect, they get bypassed and lunge in but they are there, if that midfield was Mainoo and Fernandes they’d by no one to bypass or lunge in, that’s the problem
