And Its Smith

Day two of the test has been postponed

I agree but a lot saying it won’t be. If they called it off for Diana then bound to for the queen

“Consideration in respect of EFL fixtures will be discussed with the Government and the wider sport sector during the period ahead and an appropriate announcement will be made at the earliest opportunity.”

The last time the head of state died the football wasn’t postponed but, bizarrely, it was for Diana so I’d say yes it will be. I’m unsure why football would be and everything else wouldn’t be though. Doesn’t make sense to me

I will give you 100/1

Don’t click on a thread about Chelsea then. Not every thread is about Bristol City.

A very odd thing to write on a forum I reckon. If we all went on threads that we weren’t bothered about to tell people then it would be a weird forum!

Very hard decision for Potter. This is possibly his only chance to manage a top 4 side. We know that opportunities for English managers are few and far between. But surely he will also want to continue his Brighton project. Personally I would take this opportunity now whilst it’s there. If it goes wrong then he will still get a good job afterwards. I think he will go. Rodgers wouldn’t be an awful replacement but has to be question marks over his inability to sort out his Leicester defence. Steve Cooper would be a good appointment. Kompany, Hassenhutl, Postecoglou are other options. Bruno for internal.

In his last 34 games he has scored 10 goals. 34 games is less than one seasons worth of games. Or does it all have to be done in one season to follow your rules? If he scored 10 goals in 46 games in one season would that be better despite taking more games?

Don’t think you can class Cucurella as a big name signing. The problem they have now is that although their first XI and bench is very strong indeed, the squad is far too big.

Make sure you move those goalposts by bending your knees. There’s so many I’m worried you will put your back out

He’s scored 12 championship goals

It’s still Semenyo not Seymenyo

I’m sure you remember a time not long ago where it did matter. He was just asking why it didn’t now. Perfectly reasonable question

Yep absolutely

Agreed it’s ridiculous

Correctly not flagged as per updated offside rule a few seasons ago but the law is an ass Not interfering in that phase of play

I think he was allegedly on £20k per week at 19 years old. Has probably earned over £5m from football which may be one reason why he’s lost any passion he had

The fixtures aren’t ‘planned’ are they? I don’t think there is somebody checking distances teams are travelling on a Wednesday and then Saturday. It’s just the way the fixtures come out. No planning happens as far as I know.

VAR….again it’s the talking point of football!

Also you have to wonder if it had been Chelsea scoring and not West Ham yesterday, what would the decision have been?

If it has to remain I would say that if an error hasn’t been seen by the time the game restarts then it’s a goal. Keep playing as if VAR isn’t even in operation and they have about 20-30 seconds then to highlight an issue to the ref and tell him the correct decision

If they can’t get decisions correct after 10 views why bother ? Slows the game down. Takes enjoyment out of the game.

We were told that VAR would stop the headlines being about decisions so we could concentrate on talking about the game. If yesterday is anything to go by, VAR is showing no signs of improving despite now being in place for a good while. Decisions are still being made incorrectly and big decisions at that but this time it is two referees getting it wrong instead of one….value for money?! Michael Oliver took over a minute looking at a monitor yesterday whilst everyone waiting for him. The Championship is better for not having VAR…we know a goal is a goal and can celebrate accordingly. Personally I don’t go to games to watch perfect refereeing performances. Take the rough with the smooth and be careful what you wish for!

I agree he deserves credit and no he hasn’t been a total failure. All I was saying was he hasn’t been a rip roaring success so a ‘I told you so thread’ seems a bit odd. That’s all I’m saying really
