  • stevesteve
    come on Luton
  • alderzalderz
    Chelsea have signed about 300 players the last couple of windows, and I haven’t heard of half of their bench.
  • stevesteve
    Chelsea 1 up , so that's that then
  • alderzalderz
    If anything it just shows how massive we are
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer

    Luton had Reece Burke in the starting XI, hooked at 77 minutes,

    Ross Barkley was replaced by Pelly Ruddock

    Dan Potts is out injured

    Luton = WHUFC rejects

    No. WHUFC = Luton feeder club.

    Spurs 2 up at Bournemouth.

    1 point from 3 games, Iraola might be wondering if he should have he'd stayed in Spain (and the owner might be wondering if he should have stuck with Gary O'Neil)
  • alderzalderz
    Gary O'Neil's on 0 after 2 games, so perhaps not
  • stevesteve

    Go forest!

    Good game to watch at Man U, Forest look really effective on the counter, Man U look good going forward but really poor defensively, caught out ball watching and not tracking the runner on a number of occasions
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Man U back to 2-2 and Forest now down to 10, they were a bit unlucky imo, worrel certainly pulled him down and knew exactly what he was doing, but I am not convinced that it was a straight red, there was a covering defender and it was far from certain that the attacker would have got the ball.

    Now Man U have a penalty and it is 3-2
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Brentford keeper poor for the Palace equaliser after making a couple of very good saves earlier on. 1-1 atm.
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    Fulham go down to 10 men and then equalize.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I was out all day, just got back for our 2nd half.

    I can tell I'm going to enjoy catching up on all the other matches. 'cept Spurs, maybe.

    Just watching MOTD and the ManU v Forest game has made me realise I don't understand the offside rule at all - how was Casemiro's goal not offside? He was standing in what I thought was an offside position when Bruno headed the ball to him for him to then score.
    Can someone please explain?

    Without having seen it, I woulda thought the answer was obvious; it's Man Utd.

    Edit: Having watched it, Casemiro was behind Bruno at the point where Bruno headed/passed it.

    As long as you're behind the player with the ball (which Casemiro clearly was here), you're not offside regardless of defenders.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Ball goes backwards :+1:
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    But he was in an offside position when Bruno received the ball or is that not offside?
  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    Buffy, yeah I had seen that, but I couldn't find out how that is ok when I read the offside rule on the FA site. Obviously, I've not understood the rule.

    LAW 11: OFFSIDE

    A player is in an offside position if:

    - any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and

    - any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

    Casemiro was behind the ball so not offside

    Ah, right. Cheers ASLEF.

    Is Wolves away strip red with green bits because they have a lot of Portuguese players?

    Everton, three games, no goals, no points. No wonder Twinny the Toffee looked glum when I got to the pub yesterday
