Bit harsh to label them complicit. How do you expect them to stand up? Have they? Seems like they've been bombing the shit out of Palestine for years/decades/generations.

They've absolutely hammered it in the first 25. Mendis is the key wicket. I'd expect 380-400+ with where they're at now.

Just seen some harrowing stuff on social media I wish I didn't see . There's no good guys here, is there? It's just cuntiness on both sides.

More like it!

Great recovery from Kohli and Rahul

Shite start. Looks like we'll be getting spanked here.

Jadeja is sublime.

Not seen all highlights but haven't heard about any controversies this weekend so far...

Of course Crawley don't score ffs

Southampton average 12 corners per game in their last 5 games, and I'm not convinced their defence is sorted despite clean sheet vs Stoke, however they haven't lost their scoring touch, averaging 2 goals per game in their last 5 home games. Rotherham's away form is horrid, too. Southampton also have the worst discipline in the division (31Y and 1R). Crawley and Wrexham should be good regardless; Crawley scored 20 in their 11 league games, and 14 of those in their last 5 home games. 42 corners in their last 5 (Avg 8+), while Wrexham average just under 10 per game. And Wrexham are 4th highest goalscorers in the league, even though last game was a 0-0 draw.

Shaheen fucked up there. Should never run on a misfield, and Nawaz was too far down back in his own crease to even think of a run.

Big news for Villa

Netherlands bowled well so far, expected more from Babar and Fakhar though.

Game 45 - 21st Game 46 - 15th

GAME 45 - WOLVES vs ASTON VILLA - SUNDAY 8th OCTOBER, 14.00 (BST) GAME 46 - ARSENAL vs MAN CITY - SUNDAY 8th OCTOBER, 16.30 (BST) ***any predictions made after kick-off will not count*** @Mel81x @Lucas @6666 @Dr. Gonzo @Michael @Redcanuck @Devil @Reluctant Striker @CaaC (John) @Beelzebub @Devil-Dick Willie @JoshBRFC @Viva la FCB @Pyfish @Bluewolf @Tommy @Rucksackfranzose @OrangeKhrush

Just the one winner across the latest two games. Game 43's first goal came in 2nd minute of first-half stoppage time. No winners there. Game 44's first goal was in the 7th minute. 3 points! Table after Game 44: That exact score is @Bluewolf's 2nd, and it takes him into 2nd place onto 11 points.

You said that the parents of the referee (it wasn't even his fault) should have had an abortion. I think that's the one that sticks in my mind. And called them scum, dickheads, corrupt, bent etc. I haven't told you to shut up either, and you've picked a very minute point about what I was saying. Funnily enough, looking back on the conversation it's clear we both want the same thing - refs to a) grow some balls, b) show some integrity, c) take some accountability and d) show some actual competence for the things they're trained to do on a consistent level. Also looking back on the UAE thing I agree that needs to be stopped too. If they're employed by the FA/PGMOL, they stick to officiating to games here (or in Europe for CL/EL/ECL). I understand what you mean about 'appearance of corruption' and the optics of it don't look great. Even taking out the potential financial aspect out of it, it probably doesn't help their focus and fatigue from flying to be ready for a game so soon after. I genuinely do feel for what happened to Liverpool at the weekend and I do hope that standards improve sharpish. It can't go on like it is. I don't think sacking him outright is the option here, at least not the only one. Take England/Cook out of the limelight temporarily. I just don't think giving them a load of shite online will solve anything. No matter how much you hate them or won't take them seriously.

Thumping defeat for England.

Didn't Liverpool fans want Tierney banned from Liverpool games after what happened last season? By the way, not once have I said for Liverpool fans to shut up. I just don't see the point in calling them all names under the sun in the process. It really is possible to make a point without constantly verbally abusing them. Stopping him officiating your games is probably to protect him as much as anything else. He's enemy number one in Liverpool no doubt, so what's the point in adding to that pressure? He'll be dropped down a division and assessed no doubt. Every Liverpool fan wants him banned, I don't blame them. But if every referee was banned after they made an error, there won't be many left. They're not perfect, are they?

Where did I say you're supposed to like them?

Maybe the people above them can instigate that change. Calling them all names under the sun days after the event or wishing they were dead doesn't actually change anything, does it? It's not about precious feelings or anything like that. Just a bit weird it's continued 5 days later as if we can actually change anything or influence it.

I think you need to let it go mate

Or they're saving themselves the absolute shite they'll get from Liverpool fans if he's given a Liverpool game again this season. Nothing to do with biased, that's just conjecture.
