Courtois having knee surgery. Who is their back up now?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Begovic, so very good quality but obviously you can't replace like for like there.

City beating United at their own game

Talk about throwing your toys out of the pram. :icon_lol:

"Instead of hitting a long crossfield pass to set up a goal, making a decisive tackle or curling the ball into the back of the Chelsea goal to seal our victory, I had fallen over"

 

[ROVERT47]

Just been in a bar watching La Liga, Deportivo La Coruna beat somebody I've never heard of 3-1, anyway, at full time the ads came on, whereas in England you see Liverpool players advertising Nivea, out here it's Fernando Torres with a glass of the Local Brew.

Newcastle fan struggles with the alphabet....

Shades of the David Nudd episode there.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Shades of the David Nudd episode there.

In my top 3 Internet moments is that. Not just the opening post but the following posts that couldn't grasp why it was wrong and then a proper cyber flounce.

Link?

Doubt it exists now. Very old moment from Mol Mix.

Basically the Quiz was name a player who had played for England whose first letter of their forename is the same as the last letter in their surname, David Dunn was given as answer and they refused to accept it was wrong, despite a million and 1 folk explaining why...finally the penny dropped

Diego Costa has been charged with violent conduct by the FA after his clash with Laurent Koscieny in the Chelsea v Arsenal game.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Good.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's the right decision but if the officials 'didn't see it' then what did Costa get booked for at the time...

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Was Costa booked in that same incident? If so, it does seem strange. Though I agree that it is the right decision to charge him.

 

[PuntsWolf]

When there's a coming together the refs always book both players. Absolutely no reason to do this or logic. They just bottle it (as usual) and book both, even when one is just the victim and standing his ground.
