JustTosh

I still don't get it. Our record against lower teams are far better than at this point last season. Our record against "top six" are far better We've so far scored more PL goals than at this point last season. Missing something?

I'm not trying to find an excuse. My question is: How can the football world accept this? How can it be acceptable that a player who's outside the playing pitch goes back onto the pitch to take time off the clock, and no reaction? No yellow card, no media outrage, nothing!

I reckon you refer to the 14 teams not called "top six" as the "lower teams". Let's see how we've done against "the top 6" this season: 4 matches played, 3 of them away: 1 win, 3 draws, no losses. Last year Nov 29th 2017: Against “top 6 “: 5 matches played, 3 home and 2 away: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses. You’re right, we are better against the smaller teams. I'm a clown, usually spouting just tosh, but I do fail to see where the decline is. Please enlighten me.

Late 2nd half: Silva "hurts" his head when falling to ground. He's outside the sideline so the ref correctly lets play go on. Seeing that, Silva walks on to the pitch again and lay down there instead. Play stops so that he can receive medic care, after all it's a "head injury" we’re talking about. Ref accepts these actions and 2 mins run off the clock. Our players “sportingly” returns the ball to PSG when play eventually starts again. How the f*** can this happen?

The bottom line: No matter what happens in Belgrade we need to win. Loose or draw: We're out. Scenario 1: PSG looses in Belgrade: We're group winners with 1-0 or any 2 goal victory. We'll be 2nd if we win 2-1, 3-2 etc. Scenario 2: PSG draws in Belgrade: Group winners if we win. If its 2-1 or 3-2 doesn't matter. Scenario 3: PSG wins in Belgrade: We'll be 2nd in the group (behind PSG) with 1-0 or any 2 goal victory. Capiche?

We’ll score early. Then Napoli will score. We go on and score a 2nd but no help from Red Star. We can't find a way to put that final decisive ball in their net. We pass 80 mins still no 3rd goal. And then; Operation Anfield Explosion, 3-1! Sound familiar?

If Leicester's the only club to publicly reject, the foxes should be met with a big round of applause wherever they go. If we don't take a stand agianst it I'll be ashamed on behalf of our club. I said earlier it feels like beeing put to ground by a bully who then unzips and pisses on you, It's worse. You realize the bulliy's your own son. Not only totally humiliated but ashamed as weel.

Peter Moore's looked a pretty sound fella so far. It's not too late. If he can persuade our owners to make a stand against this provocation, maybe we will? Thin hope they will, but still hope ... or maybe just a dream.

Lousy house comparison from me, I agree. I don’t know the exact numbers but revenue from TV has risen considerably. Let’s say it’s 8 times higher now than it was when Scudamore got the job. If he’d done a poor job, maybe income growth would be only 6x. On the other hand, maybe it could be 10x if he’d done a better job. Who knows? Those paying for the TV rights do so because they believe they’ll make money selling it on to TV channels around the world, not because Scudamore’s a genius. Market sets the price. I’ve no good reason to say Scudamore’s done a bad job, but that’s not what this is about anyway. The farewell gift is an outrage for so very many reasons. I guess 90% of all supporters feel the same. It feels like being hit to ground by a bully, then after you’re knocked down, he unzips his pants and starts pissing on you.

How can you say that in bold? I’m not saying he did a bad job, but it’s not Scudamore who’s set the price. The market has. If you go abroad and let me live for free in your house for 5 years. You come home to the happy news the value has tripled during the period. Have I done a good job?

Sorry mate, I’m just trying to be realistic. Sadly I don’t think it would work. If 10% left 5 mins before the end, it would just look like a normal day with people leaving early. Isn’t it better to do a protest the majority could actually be arsed to join in on? I'm on the edge myself now and may return my membership card. I mean, if my own club supports this outrage, how can I continue to support my club?

A walkout would be great – if it worked. But it won’t. 2-2 in the derby, 5 mins left. Would you leave? Supporters of all clubs should unite and do something together though. Something that could work. I.e. every fan at all stadiums turned their back to the ground for a minute shouting shame 5 mins into the match? Or something else the majority would actually do.

I always look for that before I post. Could'nt find it - still can't. Not a big thing but where is it?

All premier clubs have been asked to donate £ 250 K to give Richard Scudamore a farewell gift of £5 M. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46197761 Apparently he’s on £ 2,5 million pounds a year salary, so the poor lad could really use the extra dosh now that he’s retiring. 4 years ago he almost got sacked too because of sexist emails, but got off the hook when he said “I’m sorry”. The man who forced Luis Suarez out of England certainly deserves our gratitude. I suggest us fans of football all chip in a tenner as well.

If we beat Fulham on Sunday we’re averaging exactly 2,5 p/match – on course for 95 points. That includes away matches against Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea. If ManCity continues as they've started they will break their own 100p record from last year and win the PL comfortably. Will they? Maybe or maybe not. Wouldn’t be the first time a team being absolutely invincible in November looking like a complete different team later in the season. We’ve had our dip in form this season. Let’s see what happens when they have theirs.
