It's actually a proposed whip round from the clubs (specifically, proposed by Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck) nothing to do with the PL or FA.

claretandbluesky

Surely the FA must then launch an enquiry if a chairman of one of the clubs under the jurisdiction of the FA is attempting to make a payment to an official of the ruling body.

Surely personal payments from clubs cannot be accepted from members of the ruling body and all payments regarding their work for the organisation should be from their employer. Very misguided from the Chelsea chairman in my view.

grey_til_I_dye

Well, I'd imagine that the payment would be made subsequent to Scudamore being an employee, what with it being a retirement thank you...

Watching the cricket and there was an English flag with crossed Hammers in top right quarter and the text "Mad cucumbers with eyes" on the rest. ;lol

That was when you had to earn a cap and start a game to get one. A lot of his caps were also one cap per tournament not even per game. Now you can get a cap for coming on in the 95th minute and not even touching the ball.

Great pic. Who took it?

BubblesNeverDies

Nor a more handsome one!

IronHerb

Thorn, although you only received one cap for a tournament it represented the number of appearances in that tournament with each appearance shown on the cap. Therefore although only one physical cap it represented the number of games played.

Gary Lineker made that point on his podcast recently.

Snodgrass & Hernandez score in a 2-1 win at Brentford in a behind-closed-doors game. Carroll played the second 45 mins.

Strong side out; Antonio at RB, Holland played the first half, Noble got 90 mins, with Cresswell, Zabaleta, Oxford & Anderson coming on as subs second half. Masuaku, Perez, Coventry, Rice, Ogbonna all played too.

;ok

Also gave the manager a chance to see Oxford and Holland in a senior competitive match. Will be interesting to see if either impressed enough to get some PL game time before the end of the season.

Adam

No Fredericks? I wonder why?

MrsGrey

He has a (minor) injury, I read somewhere.

;hmm He was struggling towards the end at Huddersfield, but we'd made all 3 subs so he had to carry on. Am I remembering that right?

Adam

Now you mention it, that does ring a bell.

McHammer

Snoddys goal was comedy!

MrsGrey

I read the description - sounded like a corker ;biggrin

Due to the stupid offside law, where the linesman only flags as the offside player is about to touch the ball, a Huddersfield player went straight through the back of Fredericks with six or seven minutes left in the game. He hobbled around for a minute or two before leaving the field by which time we had made our three substitutions. ;angry

It's a banger...

Lukerz

How did Perez miss that?

MrsGrey

I think both goalies might be a bit ;hmm about letting in their first goals.
