The biggest loss here, is McLaren never accidentally slipping into a fake Jamaican accent, like he did with the Dutch one, once….

Yeah, as long as you don't physically attack them, just because you are losing the 5-aside in training. Ask Cole and Yorke!

That’s a truly horrible kit and whilst club staff continue to read this forum it’s worth hiding before they get any more stupid ideas.

Who is good from the staff!?!?

Well yeah it all adds to his appeal and value. Might just have a knock or niggle that won't clear up properly but he doesn't want to go under the knife before January. Strange how no real details have emerged about his alleged injury seeing as normally information comes out pretty quickly.

Would they have made him captain if an issue like this was on the horizon? Actually, given who ‘they’ are I’ll answer my own question with a yes.

Fair point

There's no tick box for Terry Gennoe?!

Depends who we are losing to. A draw is a better result than a loss against those around us.

Curved Air - Back Street Luv

Isn’t that, to a point, the same thing?

Aye it's quite likely something contractual as i couldn't see him ducking out so long, unless he has a concrete move lined up but no football or proper training will just hider him personally in the long run.

I don't think the problem is with VAR, but with the people using it.

Who played for one of the biggest/best clubs in the world, Played for Sir Alex Ferguson and won everything. Its quite embarrassing you keep this utter nonsense going.

Medical team being so poor? Who is poor from the staff?

Or the medical team has made a wrong diagnosis

The 'clear and obvious' aspect of VAR is what leaves much ambiguity and as you allude to causes much debate. When VAR was introduced with the clear and obvious instruction I thought after a while they would drop that and allow the officials a certain amount of latitude through dialogue. VAR has become stagnant and should have moved on and learned from errors.

I wouldn't say it's quite 'tinfoil hat' to worry that one of our best players is looking to leave the club, when several other senior players jumped ship as quickly as they could several months ago. I also think it's more likely than the idea of professional doctors and physios not knowing how to diagnose an injury.

Pass the tinfoil hats out. He's clearly picked up a knock. The problem being our medical team is so poor that they're unable to diagnose it - or worse still they have diagnosed it and don't want to share it with the fans because it's a bad knee injury.

As we’re now fully off topic and you mentioned offside… Why can an attacking player be considered to be not interfering with play but a defensive one cannot?

Elliot Anderson is Scottish pass it on At least Adam Wharton has always been 100% faithful to England, not hedging his bets elsewhere!

Or Augustus Kargbo corner.

Absolutely something is up - could it even be the case of x amount of games played = % inc. to wage? hence he is being frozen out?

Get him in the Daniel Ayala wing

The worst aspect of VAR is offside. It's obviously not a "clear and obvious error" if an offside isn't given onfield but endless slow motion checks eventually conclude a player has a toe nail or an arm pit offside yet you'll get some former official or other triumphantly celebrating the decision to rule out a brilliant goal by declaring the player was "clearly" off. The offside rule wasn't designed or intended to survive such microscopic examination. At one time the attacker was meant to receive the benefit of the doubt. I could just about live with VAR if Arsene Wenger's suggestion that there should be clear daylight was adopted. However like you, on balance I dont like it and would scrap it although realistically that obviously isnt happening.
