I worked with Smitheh for like 5 years and only realised we were both on here after posting my Ice Bucket Challenge and @Poe pointing it out


I can't believe you didn't know

I've been here from seemingly the dawn of time. Was at Throw-In before here, I'm still around most days though - lurking.

There's no way it's not a red card. Even 20 years ago they'd send him off.

He literally kicks him in the face - and Ederson has jumped too. It's dangerous play.

The old throw-in IRC channel was how I got into the FM online scene in the first place - so hopefully this is great too

Newcastle are having a good day.

Sell everyone and don't buy anyone.

Did you manage to see it?

Very, very good win. Ritchie was absolutely outstanding a true leader today. But they were all very good. Joselu and Merino in particular.


This.

West Ham are god awful though.

Eric Dier has warned us that they haven't forgotten the last day a few year ago.

He definitely thinks he's good at football doesn't he?

Benitez is manager now - so literally no one cares any more.


Did people care that we had Wonga as our sponsor?

Majority of people I know were just pleased we'd negotiated a good deal and not went with Sports Direct.

Worrying that that's the best we've played all season by a mile and we can't even beat a shite Leeds side.

Isaac Hayden genuinely looked good last night. Mitrovic was good as well, he's a much better option than Gayle imo.

But Jesus our defence is an absolute joke. Mental how overrated Lascelles is/was.


This. Strangely.

btw Anita and Dummett were pathetic on saturday - both more at fault than Shelvey.

Sheffield Wednesday failing to beat Burton Albion cost me €300 last night.

Absolute dicks. Hope they never reach the Premier League!!


Yeah, they fucked me over too

Nice consistency from the FA, Mings gets a 5 game ban while Ibra only gets 3. Mental


Stamping on somebody's head is worse than elbowing imo - also extra for trying to get out of it.

Ibra accepted the charge and Mings didn't.

Mings gets a tougher sentence for saying not guilty.


Shame the same thing didn't happen when it was a Man Utd player doing it a few years ago. Think it was Evans?

Cisse accepted the charge and got 3 games, he didn't and also got 3 games.

Sanchez is literally like Henry when he was at Arsenal. Just Henry was surrounded by much better players (that he still sulked and whinged at)

Glad to be finally on the home straight. The championship is the fucking pits. Reading have listed 'reading fans' as their 8th substitute ffs.

Are the players to blame though? They're not very good. Never were. Just played above themselves for a season.

Players like Drinkwater, Vardy, Albrighton are all below average - have been their entire careers except one mad crazy wonderful season.

That being said I like Ranieri - but I wouldn't want him in charge of my team.

We're doing better than the last two times we were down here where we pissed the league.

Results have been good.

Performance wise we haven't been sweeping people away bar a few games, but results wise we're doing just fine.

Or Benitez is making excuses to cover his own bad decisions?


Not really, we've not been doing too bad in the league.

I'm more concerned about what happens at the end of the season if we don't back him properly.

Alarmed with Benitez' post match comments about how he 'doesn't know' why we didnt sign anybody and that he's dissapointed.

Be the biggest mistake of all Ashley's huge monumental mistakes if he lets Benitez slip through his fingers

Gouffran nearly gave 2 goals away through either a poor touch or not bothering to track his man, then pressed claims for his upfront berth which he feels he deserves by missing an absolute sitter.

Perez was awful too. Everyone was really - except Ritchie.

It'd have only got rescinded as we're the Biggest Team in the Championship™ so it'd be silly to send him off.

I really wish we'd buy Knockaert as well as Townsend and McCarthy - purely for the meltdown on Twitter about parachute payments that nobody understands and how its unfair that we're allowed to spend money that we make fairly.

It's Brighton who are refusing to move the game, not the EFL.

Should test the water with a 100m bid for their entire team imo

First game I've got to in a while that, we were superb first half - second not so much

Shelvey makes such a difference.

Wonder if people will praise Rafa for his tactics today after the injuries seen as he's been receiving an absolute hammering from people that apparently know a lot more?

Fans of other teams, have you ever finished a game this season and thought 'the ref was alright today'?

They're normally bad, but christ it feels like they've got worse again this year. You could have replaced Pawson last night with a random number generator and it would have got more decisions right than he did.


Refs in the Prem are so so so so much better than those in the Championship and (I'm guessing) below.
