Chances both ends technically altho Bamford must be a lock for Golden Wasteman this season

Bamford is going to end the season with 38 goals from 1062 chances.

I've had him in my draft-based fantasy league since the start of the season, final pick after all the Leeds fans in the league passed over him in multiple draft rounds. Absolutely can't wait for an excuse to drop the prick (seriously, it's like having Tim Henman in your team) but a) he won't stop scoring and b) he's playing Spurs soon.

Lol SV I made a give him 20 chances and he'll score joke at the time

Bielsa was at our game on friday night to mark his protege's homework, and as the commentary team noted with his mask covering more of his chin than his mouth. It's disorientating for me with L66ds having such a likable and impressive manager and Town having his former deputy, one can almost forget you are supposed to absolutely despise these fuckers. But I sort of wish them well these days in a confused manner, probably need a therapist to help me work through this confusion!

Big up whoever in the stadium decided to celebrate the Spurs goal by banging out 'Sandstorm'.

We are a completely different team with Lo Celso in the side, suddenly everything knits together.

That Newcastle handball appeal, my god
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a ball being hoofed against the tucked-in arm of a defender from three yards while grown men appeal to the referee in feigned outrage forever

We are moving worryingly closer to "fuck this sport", it's true

Lot of squandered possession from Spurs imo
Yep, I think it’ll come back to haunt them.

Patrick Bamford. The posh boy Pukki. The millionaire Marcus Stewart. The violinist who has defences on strings. Could’ve gone to Harvard but decided to teach the Premier League a lesson. The Barclays can’t handle that smoke. pic.twitter.com/AKkiVpnzru— m durrant (@thepigeonpost) September 27, 2020

Ludicrous interpretation of handball

It's a farce. But, I have to admit, a funny one.

Prior to Wilson taking the kick, Newcastle has had no shots on target and six attempts to claim a handball.

We should have been out of sight by then but this is a travesty. Once players work out at that all they have to do is make the ball hit the defender's hand the whole game's fucked.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 27 September 2020 15:09 (three years ago) link
Especially if its Andy Carroll using his head.

they're not even calling these handballs in MLS ffs, and their officiating is a joke
― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Sunday, 27 September 2020 15:24 (three years ago) link
It’s also completely unbalanced. Defenders are effectively being told, if you’re going to challenge for the ball, you have to jump with your arms pinned to your side. Strikers don’t. As the Havertz thing showed yesterday, as long as you’re not the one who scores, it doesn’t seem to matter if the ball hits an attacker’s arm.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 27 September 2020 15:26 (three years ago) link
this feels like point shaving, wonder if Tim Donaghy is behind this
― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Sunday, 27 September 2020 15:27 (three years ago) link
apparently Lascelles also committed a clear cut handball, albeit by the same pedantic interpretation of it these muppets are using now.
― calzino, Sunday, 27 September 2020 15:30 (three years ago) link
I hope Bruce loses to ten of these miserable idiot handball decisions this season

var managed to make the in ground experience of watching football terrible last season and having achieved that has moved on to making viewing at home wholly unsatisfying too. congratulations.
― oscar bravo, Sunday, 27 September 2020 16:10 (three years ago) link
it's just aggravating because World Cup 2018 managed to use it so unobtrusively and instead of learning from that, they decided fans wanted more hyper-officiated football.
unless you're a relegation zone team who can literally only tie or beat the giants with this kind of luck, I doubt that's true (and hell I doubt fans of those squads want it either!).
it will wind up being like NFL football, where they made the roughing the passer rules so ridiculous that defenders started injuring themselves contorting their bodies trying to tackle the QB the very limited way they were allowed.
IMO cut defenders arms off, only solution

City made the classic mistake of getting an early goal. You need to wait a bit longer to score the first one.
