Anyone see the womens football last night? in particular the handball decision against japan.
That's the new rule, twat it in the box if it hits a hand to a side of a player it's a pen.

There's going to be a lot of penalties next season

Unnatural position. On replay it looks silly because the Japanese player pulls her arm away quickly after the impact, but the impact is when her arm is out away from the side of her body:-

It is too soon for Frank but... Fuck me, what an antidote to the last two years... We deffo need a lift...

Even tho' we've won 'nuff silverware it hasn't been a happy time for the Chelsea faithful...

Isn't Neymar earning the equivalent of £900k a week.

He’s allegedly taking a massive haircut to facilitate the move.

@Clever_Pun
just saw that decision and it unfortunately reiterates what a cuntish rule it is.
funnily enough though this type of decision has been creeping in for the last few seasons and its odd how now that fifa sanction it people start to see how cretinous it is. This wont last the season and will probably be changed by xmas. This will show itself in either of two ways i) too many top teams attack and get a penalty due to percentage of shots and crosses ii) low level teams beat big teams due to stupid handball rule.
as with diving and all other rules in football people will end up giving shit rule credence because it helps them in a particular game so they look like hypocrites if they protest. in general this is a cunt rule that no footballer could endorse outside of the professional bow down and accept it leagues. try getting a penalty for that shit back of the chip shop in Banbury circa 1982 and you would have had your parents house egged and then you would have had the law of the baseball bat .

Dear Clintsmoker .... just out of interest ... which chip shop in Banbury - circa 1982 .... ?

Good article investigating Chelsea’s “loan army”

So that’s the Hazard money spaffed up the wall on Kovacic. Kovacic is OK but not worth most of what we were paid by Real Madrid for Hazard.

it will be mikes chippy up on ferriston by Hardwick school. me and @clintsmoker played many a game behind it. when not playing the Rock n Rope arcade game in it

Terrific, the sideways man... What is he even good for? Useless midfield soldier...

Good chippy that. Three brothers of one family served in there and each one was nicknamed 'Tank' for good reason. Once the chips had been served they nipped to the back to hand out a few reducers.

He warms up Barkley’s place on the pitch for 61 minutes.

Hopefully it’s not just me who’s really enjoying the standard of games at the WCW at the moment. England were terrific last night, though Houghton at the back was outstanding.
The wife (who used to play women’s football back in Aus) has suggested we curtail our usual Friday night out in favour of watching France v USA tonight, and I can’t disagree. It should be a belter.

Norway's number 3
Maria Thorisdottir (had to google)

The sort of Norwegian that would have been signed by Premier League Teams in the 90s.

has white van man started putting st georges crosses on their vans yet ?

It’s looking like Man Utd are going to have another try for Diop after they were told £75m after their £45m + player.
New offer likely to be £65m + player(s)

I really don’t want WHU to lose him as he’s an astounding player and only 22 but £65m after buying him last season for £22m is going to be pretty tempting I should imagine

Which players would you want from United?

I mean, APART from Phil Jones.

De Gea, and Sanchez*.

*If you can get two players as a £10m makeweight, you might as well take a punt, eh?

I’d rather that they held out for £75m if they were going to let him go.

I’ve faith in Pellegrini and Sporting Dir Hullios to find replacements if the funds are there.

De Gea wouldn’t be available I’d imagine and I’m over the moon with Fabianski.

Wouldn’t want Sanchez wage demands

If left to the porn dwarf and his pals they’ll take the money in an instant.

Thankfully it seems not.
