Time wasting by players

Thing is if we start as we end games the chances are an early goal will come and this won't be an issue.
I don't understand why the premier league do not have multiple balls around the pitch which are thrown to the players when the ball,goes out. This happens in the CL and I did see stats how it increases the amount of time the ball is in play and time wasted.
Apparently the argument is that mutiple ball systems are easier to exploit by home teams. Not sure if thats generally true, but it was definitely the case when we used it under Pearce. The ball boys were more effective than some of the players.

I don't like early goals, unless they come in threes! I remember Anelka, I think, scoring at The Etihad and I turned to my left and said, "Jeez, we've got 89mins to hang on!"

Yeah but with our team if we get the opponents to come out we ' should' get a hat full.I don't like early goals, unless they come in threes! I remember Anelka, I think, scoring at The Etihad and I turned to my left and said, "Jeez, we've got 89mins to hang on!"

We are desperately short of the player who can successfully 'run' at a banked midfield. Sane and Sterling seem to be the only ones who have some measure of ability in that department, but they are often isolated down the flanks, run into a dead end or have two or three defenders lining up to negate the first successful dribble! Oh for a Lionel Messi or a Peter Barnes!

A rule was made in the prem that multi ball wasnt allowed. Some teams were doing it and some teams werent so they decided to make a set rule about it. No idea why they wouldnt go in the other direction to speed the game up
The obvious fact is that NOBODY knows how long a football game last, players, managers, fans, and yes even the FEFS . They have to guess it. FIFA, UEFA, and the FA have all refused to bring in a timekeeper as in Rugby league where EVERYBODY knows at what point in time the game stands. It's also plain to see referees could not care less!!!!

Sorry didn't quite catch that, can you say it a little louder?
