United Thread - 2023/24

[yeah whatever !!]

Just reading reading the report on BBC; two ex rags saying the decisions were 'soft' but both don't say is that they were wrong. Sorry, but can someone explain to me what a 'soft' decision means?

No such thing as a soft decision...it's either right or wrong all the VAR decisions by the rule book last night were right.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Has anyone taken a trip to the Caff recently. It's either fucking hilarious or crimally sad but most are on suicide watch.

I've heard of them...you set the alarm and when it goes off the mainspring explodes and slashes your wrist for you...
or was it a wind up.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

They'll be protesting the loss to Copenhagen this weekend:


They temporarily paused the protests after the unexpected win over Fulham is what the tweet should say.

The cold hard cash that bought them 3 goals last night...

Exactly the same question that His Holiness The Pope always seems to ask !!!

There absolutely is such a thing. Any football fan knows it. Jonathan Liew talked about it in an article the other day. My definition of "soft" is that it is technically a foul but very often won't get given for all sorts of reasons yet if one examines why it is given it's usually borderline but generally counts as an infringement. Another test is even if it is a foul by the letter of the law - how would we feel if given against us?
So I would call the foul on Rodri a soft one because whilst it obviously is a foul, it hardly ever gets given and we would be saying the same as the Rags if given against us.
There are so many handball examples as well one could choose - Jack Grealish at Wembley vs the Rags anyone?

According to Poundland Pep its only going to take one moment for things to change in their favour.
Er..... one moment v Wolves, one moment v Forest, one moment v Copenhagen (H), one moment v Fulham. All went in their favour.
How many "one moments" does he want ?

As many as Whitney Houston wanted..

Penny for Eriksen’s thoughts.

He literally died on a football pitch a while back, yet playing for the rags now is arguably the low point of his football career.

Dies every time he turns out for the cunts tbf.

Noticed him waving an imaginary card last night and the ref obliged.
But shouldn't he of been booked also for this?
Oh shit i forgot he had a red shirt on so it was ok
