  • I’m not fine with it, only because we are still seeing offside calls so obviously against the spirit of the rules. I understand why it was offside but fuck me, 10 years ago the linesman does not make that call because there’s no video to check. I also don’t think the line was right, looked like they drew it in line with the defenders foot when his shoulder and hand might’ve put us onside.


  • After the last two seasons, anyone judging the club based on expectations could only be happy with clearly winning the league. It’s the issue with coming second. We have to remember that when the margins are so fine, it does not take much to feel like we’ve fallen far even if it’s not true or there are legitimate reasons. We have had the misfortune of suffering injuries to some of our most important players this year and to assume we can get away with that is just naive.






  • Oh absolutely, it’s just crazy to see how far we have pushed the limits of what the human body is capable of. Every now and then people joke about players being slow or unfit, but they’re still probably fitter than 95% of the population.

    Unsolicited advice incoming, feel free to ignore it. Stretching (not just when you exercise, but right before and after bed) and a good quality pair of runners could work wonders if they’re not already things you have. Note - I don’t really practise what I preach, but the times in my life when I’ve had/done both my body has really thanked me. I just suck at consistency and I’m a stinge.






  • I’m aware this absolutely not the same thing but in league of legends eSports, at international tournaments the teams in the tournament often practise against each other in the lead up to and during the tournament.

    Pretty notoriously, the teams that do the best in these practise matches essentially never win. Grand final matchups where one team has 100% record against the other in “scrims” only to get completely demolished in the final.

    My point is, practise is wasted if you don’t lose it to try things that might result in losing.
