@Alitheeagle1@eagleeyedball I think there are issues with Chalobah if Lacroix goes to Chelsea. If I understand it right, UEFA rules mean the squad costs can't be assigned in a practical way. So it's unlikely to be Chalobah to palace as it would count as a swap.
@morganlinton How do we know the way the providers have stratified their effort levels is consistent? What does 'medium' mean when comparing different models? Is there a way we can change the arbitrary naming to something more tangible?
@BenjaminSolak Most of the world cup refs are effectively volunteers. It's nuts what they put up with. The only positive is that you have the best view of the incredible game happening in front of you.
@RGIII It's unfair to say "all time". They are both incredible but to say all time down plays the contributions of jairzinho or Pele, puskas or Muller. Can we say greatest of the modern era instead?
@julianchenery@OneMorePoint1@PetalShift@drjcurran At least that one was an actual cup. This new disaster is a trophy. It's not a cup. There is no room for liquid. This is not a cup. It's a 56 year long con. It's the FIFA World Trophy. Teams should refuse to enter until they are offered the chance to win an actual cup.
@julianchenery@DaleJohnsonBBC@KieranMaguire After their recent actions, I hope the analysts sue them and the FA hits them with further charges and long bans. All sympathy has gone.
@FYPFanzine@RayoVallecano@Bacoletplayer It was so refreshing to share a beer with the other side and not watch the game with someone waving a 'w*****r' sign in your face.
@FYPFanzine@RayoVallecano@Bacoletplayer All the fans in the city were brilliant and a credit to their team. The whole atmosphere was incredible. From the tit for tat songs in the fan zone the night before to the congratulatory handshakes afterwards. This is what sport should be.
@julianchenery@slbsn I guess that's it. The disciplinary committee doesn't really have a lot of options it seems to me. I completely understand Southampton feeling hard done by, but their statement doesn't provide an alternative way to handle it (nor would I expect it to necessarily).
@Alitheeagle1 Direct London City to Leipzig on the Tuesday, booked in the car home from the Shaktar game! I considered Munich then up but the City option was so attractive
