The saddest thing is that I'm not even surprised!
Any team thinks they can get a result against us.
And I'll still be there on Thursday - Tottenham 'til they kill me

And that's all I'm going to say on that subject.

With all due respect to Southampton, they seem to be the only team I maybe see us winning in the next 6 premiership games. This I find very very very scary.
 
The excuse of January being a hard month to sign players is complete bullshit. This team is on fumes but all we are gonna hear is levy gave himself another raise. I fucking hate ENIC

We've got one of the best G/D's in the league. These players are shattered and inexperienced in the most competitive league in the world. He's playing an 18 year old Gray who's played far more minutes this season than he should have right now instead of a proven leader in Connor Gallagher. And what? Because the board decided 35 mill was too much for a player with 12 months left on this contract?

He could have started reg today at LB didn’t need to play Archie at LB.

It's fairly simple to resolve. The ref indicates to the 4th official every time a team is time-wasting. The 4th official adds time into their 'pot'. When we've played 90 mins plus the non-time-wasting time added on, the match ends unless either manager indicates that he wants to use his pot, at which point it is DOUBLED. He can then halt it at any point (for example if his team scores a winning goal). The game ends when both managers use up their pot (or decide not to).

It may sound complicated, but it doesn't have to be - the 4th offical just needs two time boards to hold up after he's held up the normal time added board, one for each team. He just then needs to communicate with the ref if a manager wants to use his pot (which will be obvious in most cases - if you're losing, you'll use it. It's only if the team's are drawing that it might be arguable).

It would soon become meaningless anyway - no manager is going to tell their players to waste time if they know the opposition have the CHOICE to add UP TO DOUBLE that amount of time at the end, and can STOP it whenever they want during that time.

Also, imagine how exciting a winning goal in that time would be! In most cases it would literally be the last kick of the game!

I can't quite my head round that, games could on for a long long time. It's doesn't seem right to stop it soon as a goal scored either 🤔
Need to see a trial run 😀
 
Disappointing but not a great surprise. Look and if any cvnt wants to take a pop I'm your man. I want the whole lot of them gone but I'm not shocked they were out on their feet on Thursday (check the clips of Gray and Bergvall) so I thought we might crumble 2nd half but not that early obvs.
