Could be a blessing in disguise to be honest.

CHO on £200k/w. Sancho at Dortmund going on £190k/w. Madness. I know they're great talents but this is obscene money now.

I love this guy who creates these. Pure genius.

She just text me and said she had to use her magnifying glass for the first ever on a guy called Lee? Have no idea who she's on about but poor guy. Must have been embarrassing. She said she rinsed him and charged extra cos he looked like a right mug too. Did you have a good time there mate? We ended up going to Prime and then Club John Doe on our last night then. Was hanging out my arse the following morning. Amsterdam is great for the birds - straight 10s in all directions.

They've taken the rest away. It had another advisory which said 'driver looks like an absolute CUNT'

Oh yeah

How come?!

Ask him how many goals Vardy has compared to Martial .

I agree. Very dynamic player who would fit their style well.

I'm willing to bet a decent amount of money that the Eminem song has gone way over @SirBalon's head

No.

Shit man, hate that. Sorry for your loss and condolences to your family If you need a chat, give me a PM.

Couple of pictures from the above getaway... Rotterdam train station: Main square in Amsterdam View out in to Rotterdam from our hotel:

Hope he waved his flag with ultimate joy

Looked more like Chubbs from Happy GIlmore

Can't knock that feeling of walking out from the concourse up to the stand and seeing the pitch and the whole stadium from the inside for the first time though...

It can if it's done right. Not to be biased but it's the best example I can think of considering I was pretty much there for every game - our 15/16 season and Champions League games. Lots of flags, great Tifos. It inspired fans to create atmosphere. Not to say there wouldn't have been any atmosphere without it, but it certainly helped to intensify it. It definitely helped the feeling of the crowd and even in games after those seasons without it, when there's a fan display or tifo it certainly does help. Our songs could be better as most of the time they're just re-hashed versions of other clubs' original songs.

So if fans try and find ways of improving atmosphere to help stop being lambasted or criticised for having a shit one, that's a bad thing?

Stoop so low to try and create some atmosphere? Or is the preference to have a quiet ground which sounds like a morgue?

I agree mate

Again comes down to the rulings more than anything I think? The assistant has to make a split-second decision on how sure they are about an offside and if they think it's obvious or now. The game is so fast-paced these days, at an insane level. Essentially the reason why VAR comes in is to support the officials, not necessarily take the trust away from them. How many times do we see it on TV (from a different angle, can be good/bad though) where we say 'no way, he was onside!' or 'that's definitely offside" and we turn out to be (clearly, sometimes) wrong. Same for assistants and yes I know they're professionals and have the training etc but it still doesn't make it much easier when it comes to how quickly they have to weigh up the decision. I can see why the rule is now in - assistant's can even put the flag up but the referee doesn't have to whistle if the player is in on goal. It takes away the doubt of the goalscoring opportunity and gives the attacker the benefit of the doubt. How annoying was it when a player was through on goal, yet despite being onside the flag went up? The new rule enables that chance to be completed and checked later. My only real issue with VAR isn't anything to do with what it checks but purely the time it takes to check something. Having said that, even the timing has improved since it first came in and most decisions in PL have been relatively quick.
