The offside rule is another different story...I have my views on that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that hits side on is arm, if you score with the top of your shoulder then that is OK (although they should be disallowed for being a shiite goal). As you say, they have just made it worse by having that "sleeve" line. Being a cynic, its quite clear too me that the league, as a brand, appreciates the wriggle room having a slightly unclear ruling brings. The fact they changed the rule, yet failed to clarify,in fact it more confusing is a poor sign. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC1884FC Posted 16 February 2022 Share Posted 16 February 2022 Pretty dull season so far. Runaway league leader, 3 teams cut adrift and the usual 4/5 fighting it out for CL once their games in hand over West Ham have been played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep shame really .. even with our injury ravaged team we still nearly beat Wham who are probably the main contenders .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankMarvin Posted 16 February 2022 Share Posted 16 February 2022 SAINTS OR SINNERS Is this the secret tactic behind Southampton’s success this season that cheeky Hasenhuttl uses between 60 and 70 mins? Ralph Hasenhuttl has managed to squeeze every last drop out of his players during another gruelling season. The Athletic believe that they may have found out how he's doing it. Their research reveals that a Saints players has gone down and received treatment between the 60th and 70th minute in 14 of their 24 Premier League matches. Each time during the brief stoppage in play, stars consume energy gels as they take a quick breather. There is no suggestion that Southampton are feigning injuries to deliberately cause a stoppage in play. The gels are believed to help players' endurance, with results kicking in around ten minutes after consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, their record at the end of games is mixed at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 19 February 2022 Share Posted 19 February 2022 I know they've spent a lot of money but Newcastle have been fantastic for the past 4 or 5 games. I don't think they'll be anywhere near the relegation zone (in terms of points wise) come the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite how poor we are at present it would take worse than Derby 2008 form between now and the end of the season for us to go down. Virtually impossible to happen.
