Urgh…Liverpool in the CL final. Doesn’t bear thinking about. My only hope is that Carlo can do something with Real

They are winning it mate, get used to it. No one can match them that is left on the competition. 

No matter what happens with Chelsea; no matter what happens… at least we can all go to sleep at night knowing that we’re nowhere near as bad as Manchester United Football Club; holy sh*t they have fallen off the mountain quicker than an apple fell on Newton’s head. Shambles.

Not going according to plan :JC_doubledown: wWe need @axman2526 to come in here and say that spuds are going to win 10-0.

Damn it! Need some heavy liquor to forget the spuds winning

Fecking Son. 

The refereeing in this Villa Spurs game is horrendous. 

Romero getting away with countless bookable offenses. Dissent and diving everywhere and at least two horrible tackles not even booked. 

Laughable standard of officiating. 

Spurs hanging on by their fingernails btw

I just heard about another potential change to football could be on the way in the not too distant future. The Portuguese FA want to trial 60 minute games with the clock stopping every time play stops.

I read that on average, the ball is in play for 60 minutes of a 90 minute game of football, so if they were to do this and stop the clock every time the ball isn't in play, a game of football should still be 90 minutes long.......but I don't think it will be that simple.

There are going to be games where there aren't many stoppages at all, we could be in a situation where a half of football only takes a little over 30 minutes to complete. The likelihood of this happening increases because players will feel that they can no longer get away with time wasting, so they will just ditch the tactic altogether and just get on with the game. 

There are so many changes happening and being tested of late that I feel like it's only a matter of time before the sport losses credibility. VAR has done more damage than good, the Euro's feels bloated with too many poor teams, the changes to World Cup coming in 2026 look ridiculous. Can we just stop all of this nonsense now? it's starting to remind me of how Formula 1 changes it's rules every year, it's one of the main reasons why I don't like it anymore.

Why can't we just accept that we have a great sport but one that will never be without a few flaws? we don't need to go to extreme lengths to "improve" it, especially when you run the risk of doing the complete opposite.

The world has little attention span these days and things always have to be new and exciting to keep people engaged. I see it in myself - stick something on the tv to watch and end up f**king about on my phone not paying attention!

Good to see Big Frank beat Utd though a fortunate deflection off the hapless Maguire.

Think Frank will keep them up just though don't know how, perhaps a few more fluky goals as they are struggling to create good chances.
