Brighton got flattened. We are in for a long day folks.

4-0 Citeh. Uh-oh.

Not certain about that. I think the gap is wide, yes. But the English Championship is still a highly regarded league, undoubtedly the best second tier league in world football. It's a higher standard than many top leagues in many nations---Scotland, Sweden, Norway and a host of other important...

And this is why football will always be interesting, no matter how much shit happens. It's always a coin toss. Otherwise Greece would never have won the Euros.

Never been a fan of Alvin Lee. Bunch of meaningless triplets.

I don't think he should have ever been in the Prem, ever. I've never understood how he got to that level. He's always been bad. Now, in terms of the integrity of the referees, en masse, there is no way in hell they are all collectively told to give decisions to certain clubs. I think what...

City are going to kill us, almost certainly. If they were still in the CL we'd have had a fighting chance. If Liverpool hadn't thrown in the towel we'd have a fighting chance. Sadly, those two propensities are gone, and City know what it takes to get things done, and to come out with the double...

If anyone thinks we are going to get points re-added, at this point, I would say you are insane. It's a four horse race and I don't really like our chances. If we lose away to the Blades we are done. I full expect City will beat the snot out of us. Chelsea? Who knows. If it's between us and...

Attwell, in the center of controversy , yet again. And yet someone a few pages back said I ALWAYS take the referee's side. Apparently, that person (I honestly forget who it was) is a rather selective reader. I have been critical of referees many times. I just don't agree with a fair chunk of...

Fair point. But you look at Rosato and how he performed in a Champions League quarter final and age and running are not always big factors. Though Taylor is sometimes a bit lazy, his running is very good for his age. And Attwell's running is excellent. But his brain is nowhere near up to it...

Right. Then I guess all the people at UEFA don't understand what a good ref is either. How many international tournaments has he fooled people over now? Six maybe? Taylor is obviously a very clever fella, to fool so many people for so long.

Attwell.

VAR told Taylor Young got the ball. That is on Atwell. This is one of the points of VAR---refs don't have to "guess" on PK decisions and offside any longer. They wait for the confirmation. This is one of my big issues with VAR. IT is taking decision making out of referee's hands, and decision...

Baloney. Taylor has no angle on the handball. That is on VAR. The foul on Reyna is easily missed in real time. The tackle on CHO from behind Taylor was told Young won the ball. This is ALL about Atwell, and what VAR is supposed to do.

100% agree.

Attwell has always been a very poor referee. Him f***ing up things is certainly not exclusive to us. He was demoted years ago (in 2012) but somehow fought his way back on to the exclusive list. His running is excellent. I will give him that. But his decision making and feel for the game are...

It's very Canadian.

No. Because when "soft" pens everyone loses their shit and they have to react. In a certain sense, fans who constantly moan and whine about referees actually make things worse. The big problem, for me, is most people see many grey decisions as black and white. They want simple problems to...

That will never happen. Unless something happens in their own backyard, people, for the most part, don't give a f*** about anything.

But when MGW got the ball he did eff all with it 90% of the time. And he missed a sitter a U15 would finish. His passing was less than stellar. He lost the ball a few times under circumstances where he should not. His performance wasn't good enough, not by a long shot. These are games that we...
