Do Leeds look like doing us a favour? Would be really great it Saudi Arabia started dropping points, they've been annoyingly consistent this year.
It's been end to end, both sides lacking quality. Newcastle maybe edging it.

In 1915.

Awkwardly ten years before - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_football_bribery_scandal#:~:text=It resulted in the Manchester,playing for the club again.

The 1905 English football bribery scandal was an event of corruption that surfaced at the conclusion of the 1904–05 football season in England. It centred on the accusations that Manchester City player Billy Meredith had offered a rival player from Aston Villa a bribe to purposely lose their final league match of the season between the teams.

It resulted in the Manchester City manager (Tom Maley) and former chairman (W. Forrest) being banned from English football sine die, two directors (Allison and Davies) suspended for seven months, a further five directors dismissed, and a total of 17 players banned from ever playing for the club again. Among the players was Billy Meredith, who was banned from football for 18 months and transferred to City's local rivals Manchester United before the end of his ban
You’ve embarrassed him into silence :lol:

They are doing better than I expected but their ranking has mostly been down to others not being consistent enough and regularly dropping points before and after European games… Leeds can grind a point at least here.

I think Haaland is lucky there. If that is the other way round I think that would be a red.

Bournemouth no doubt saving themselves for their cup final on Tuesdsy! As for Everton, why didn't just forfeit the game and save themselves tolhe trip?

James Ward-Prowse - just buy him.

Watching BT Score while under the weather and it's quite good, some decent banter and Jenas was brilliant on the JWP goal, just said he has the ball and it's most likely a goal, they all waited and boom - in it goes!

Football should really consider just pausing the clock during breaks in play.

No reason to have added time anymore.

You can be guaranteed all this time plus the standard added time won't be added back correctly
