The Footie Thread

[IanM]

Man U / Chels just finished. Donna has put the last episode of Masterchef on.

Masterchef is more entertaining and has no one falling over feining serious injury.

So, when taking a drop in golf, it's okay to kneel on the ground as your knee is obviously at knee height.

Just seen the replay.
That’s knee high and nasty.

You must have very tall ankles.!

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Well if Keane says he is very lucky then that tells a story

 

[Red devil]

Martinez is consistently a nasty piece of work.

I know. Great isn't he?
You need players like that

 

[Slime]

Hey, I'm not defending him, just saying why he got the yellow.
If it had been a red he'd only have had himself to blame.
It was stupid and needless, but I can see why he got a yellow and not a red.
Oh, and the contact was minimal, certainly not as bad as Palmer made it seem, but he's a footballer, they all over egg every single challenge.

Palmer spent all match tumbling under the mearest hint of a challenge

 

[BrianM]

A yellow was the right decision in my opinion, he caught him, but not with force.
Good last 30mins, was pretty open but both teams lacked a bit of quality in the final third.

A bit of quality is an understatement!

As bad as Rashford is he’s not as bad as Mudryk.

You were defending him though .
Saying Palmers knee was ankle height when it isn’t.

Well he would know.

 

[Aztecs27]

Hard fought point for United. Could be vital in the relegation battle.

 

[Don Barzini]

Well, all games in game week 10 that can affect top four are finished and Forest are still third.

Forest fans be like…..

Yes, yes we are.

 

[RichA]

Yes, yes we are.

Hmmm.
You know how we've spent the last 20 years mocking Arsenal for celebrating "top of the league at christmas" and Tottenham for celebrating "most points in a calendar year"...
Please don't jinx our primary objective of "not relegated by May".

Obviously we aren’t in the title race, but I’m going to enjoy sitting 3rd for at least the next week. I was 11 the last time we did anything useful in the Premier League. I’m 40 now.

I will enjoy every single small win because who knows how long it’ll last. We’re playing the best football I’ve seen us play since that incredible season in the mid 90’s, and It’s nice going into the weekends optimistic we might get something, regardless of who we play.

 

[Slime]

I didn't actually say that, someone else might have, but certainly not me.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

I didn't actually say that, someone else might have, but certainly not me.

The knee in question, although very lightly touched, was nowhere near knee high.
Looking at the slo-mo replays, his knee appears to be more ankle height than knee height.

There is no reason at the moment why Forest can’t target European football

 

[Aztecs27]

I agree. And I’m optimistic we can hang around like Villa did last season but I’ve had a lot of disappointment as a Forest fan so I’m also trying not to get too carried away

Yes you did .
Would you like to explain ankle height.
