If you have both feet off the ground and intend to foul someone you don’t know what the outcome will be . Some of the ex pros you talk about are as thick as fucking mince or biased

how about ex refs then

He's a rag bastard that's an automatic red.

his intention was to bring the play down not injury him unless you think differently to all the punits and ex pros

Thankfully the ref knew the rules. The united apologists and the ex pro union don't interest me . I know what I saw.

It was Freddies first ever red card for the rags surprisingly, then SKY gave him the platform after the match to whinge like a baby.

I have but this is not a red card

The ball was a yard away when he made contact. Fernandez lost his footing because he flung himself into the foul.

But we’ve been saying that, since Gollum was there.

And do they listen?

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, and, at the time, their entitlement wouldn’t allow it, but they really should have bitten the bullet and left Moyes in place for a longer period.

He hasn’t had a spectacular managerial career, but he might have built on that first post-pisscan season and had them Competing.

But, we’ll never know.

They are so stupid not to see that given their size they almost can't go down . The worst thing that would be likely to happen to them would be 4 or 5 years of midtable.

If the genuinely concentrated on building a solid foundation they could return to be heavy weight title contenders.

Now they are those heavy weight unfortunates stuck in bed, drinking gallons of coke and stuffing down mountains of junk.

Especially Casemiro the size of him looks like he’s already been eating people..

Same diet as Shaw?

SnapDragon is a brand of Qualcomm making chipsets for devices ranking behind Apple, AMD and Intel. Somewhat confusing as it's not a commercial brand as such and the public are unlikely to know or care what is powering their device. Could be a vanity decision as the cost of $76M is not a large amount of money for Qualcomm. They have also sponsored the home field of San Diego State football (Snapdragon Stadium), the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1team, Padres, Live Nation and a major mobile esports league (the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series.
Maybe they want in on the expected future virtual viewing of sports, getting their name out there will help them get a foothold in a multi billion value market?

@Gordyola cheers for the explanation. It seems, as you say, to be purely vanity. If the rags were the only ones maybe it would be iffy but looking at who you've listed, you can only assume the MD is a sad rag.

Greggs training regime.

this is a par with to "give it to Giggys"

Lovely local accent. Regretting being a glory hunter in the nineties?
