Thread | Fair to say we arent champions league ready yet
at 19:36 19 Jan 2025
I actualy thought we did alright for the first twenty, looked quite thmake soemreatening, but they conjured up a couple of goals ut of nothing. That's the quality they have, they don't need time or space to something.
The third one was a bit of a killer, bad timing as well right before half time.
Number 4 hurt too, having just had a wonderful move to get up their end and threaten them, then Doku just skips hisway through our defence and pops it in. Pretty much showed the difference between the two teams, they were abssolutely clinical we weren't.
As for number 5, dear oh dear, poor old Jack Clarke, you could see he felt dreadful for that, it was a terrible pass and and an absolute gift for Haarland.
Number 6 felt soft as well, admittedly a nice chip into the box and a lovelly glancing header from McAtee but it felt like Walton should have claimed that.
Shame we could nt get a consolation.
Fair play to Man City for not play acting like so many teams we've seen at FPR, but then they didnt need to they were just a level above.
City fans were good too. noisy right from the start.

Match the headline to the publication.
1. "surprise fall in UK inflation to 2.5% eases pressure on Rachel Reeves"
2. "inflation remains stuck above 2pc target as Reeves under pressure"
3. "inflation falls slightly after two months of rises"
4. "UK inflation rate falls to 2.5%"
with the publications being BBC, Guardian, Telegraph and Sky news.
Not much of a game really, as it is way too easy. |

Thread | How come
at 19:29 21 Dec 2024
When Chappers and the central defender clashed heads going for the header, the ref gave Newcastle the drop ball even though we were in possession when he stopped play?

Thread | Things that players get away with that they shouldnt
at 15:41 18 Dec 2024
Defenders bear hugging attackers. All defenders do it and it happens all the time in every game, but unless they do something blatant like pick them up and flip them over their heads they always get away with it. No-one even argues the point not even the attackers who have ben grappled which seems bizaare to me as this is evidently foul play.
Obstruction is another one that is never blown up for either. Ben Johnson got away with a really blatant one recently, against Bournemouth I think. He and an attacker both racing after a through ball, neither of them in control of the ball, BJ jut looked over his shoulder to see where the attacker was going and stepped across to block him. He wasnt shielding the ball , neither player was near it, just made sure the other player could not run after it.
At the risk of sounding like Will from Inbetweeners, if they aren't enforced the rules are redundant.
They certainly might as well get rid of obstruction, ive never seen it enforced. |

Thread | wolves upset because the goal was scored after the 3 minutes of added on time?
at 19:19 14 Dec 2024
That's what Talksport are suggesting.
Which would be ridiculous if true.
Not only are the timings 'a minimum of' but the Guardian have the goal timed at 90 +3.04, so just 4 seconds after the announced time.
Of course, had it been Clive Thomas reffing, he would have blown up as the corner was taken and not allowed the goal.

Thread | The rain it rained
at 11:17 9 Dec 2024
Saturday night/Sunday morning it rained.
All through Sunday morning it rained.
It was raining as I got to the pub at midday.
Then just before kick off they turned the sprinklers on.
Any knowledgeable pitch technicians able to explain the reasoning for this to me? |
