A hotel comparison site. Like GoCompare but for accommodation. They've been all over our training kit for years.

Ah, okay. Haven't seen it here in Italy.

What's it like for you now Arsenal have officially won the league?

I live on the South coast, and there's the biggest motor mouth Arsenal fan ever in our local. But I've been to more of our games at Highbury and the Emirates than he has ever been to Arsenal games in his whole f**king life so he can go f**k himself..

They can't until IFAB or someone else decide that the ball is in play prior to a corner being taken.

But didn't Cucu get booked for wrestling at that corner v Spurs? He only got a yellow and no penalty decision because the corner hadn't yet been taken ?

Yes. A YC when the ball wasn't in play. Go figure.

Meh. Tea-time TV here is dominated by ads with pretty young things rubbing their tummies complaining of bloating or asking their equally pretty young friends how to deal with pongy front bottoms.

True. But surely the game doesn't become a lawless, unpunishable free for all every time the ball isn't in play ? . As for corners, as soon as the kick is taken, all that wrestling etc etc becomes punishable? And is there still a punishment for " obstruction" ?

Questions Questions!

Front bottoms? Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast?!?!

I know a chap from my old work company that supports WHU and came with us to a couple of finals is on fb saying they were cheated and saying it is not about the penalty but about Arsenal players bear-hugging their players in the box and the ref did not know want to do deal with it. Clattenburg comes to mind or something else.

It also reminds me of the Battle of Boet Erasmus in'74 when the Lions decided to take on the Boks as the ref would not deal it,

Our players could do something similar (though much less voilent) if they bear hug our players on thier corner we bear hug all of theirs to force a conflab with ref. Saying either he deals it or everyone gets hugged or play fairly.......

This might not be needed as the World Cup is looking to crack down on it.

Thanks for that I don’t think. Need their faces slapped.

Boro so much better than Hull but same old same old same old problem. Can’t score.

Leo Castledine, formerly of this parish, on as a Boro sub.

Regardless of the outcome of this Hull vs Boro final, neither of these two are surviving in the PL next season.

No chance unless they do a Sunderland and spend a sh*tload of money very very shrewdly. Same for Coventry.

Well well. 1-0 to Hull. Serves Boro right.

That had been us it would have been ruled out for offside

And now Teeth is also appearing in WC ads for an electronics company. I've been a good person - mostly; lately - why am I confronted with this 🤬🤬🤬

When I see that advert it makes me think of that the famous scene in the Marathon Man where Laurence Oliver carries out dental surgery on Dustin Hoffman should be remade with Klopp playing Hoffman's role. I would post the clip from the film but may not be for the squeamish.

Olivier repeatedly saying: "Is it safe?"

.....and a very late goal to send them packing. Have they submitted a complaint yet?

Don't worry, I won't. It's a very disturbing scene. Funnily enough I'm going to the dentist on Tuesday for a check-up. Hopefully the dentist won't say: "Is it safe?"

Have a stiff drink first. Or three or four.
