I'd go further: all sharp objects to be removed from the training ground and players must in no circumstances be permitted to use stairs. Goal posts to be clad in scaffold foam. [Post edited 3 Feb 18:37]

Thus far we've avoided a Kevin Beattie style self-inflicted injury, but how long can that luck last?
(from Wikipedia)
"The 1976–77 season started well for Ipswich with victories over Liverpool and Manchester United. Ipswich then achieved a club record-equalling 7–0 win over West Bromwich Albion: the Albion goalkeeper John Osborne said of Beattie's long-range goal that he regarded himself as fortunate he had not touched it as it would have knocked his hand off.[35] Beattie's season was prematurely curtailed by a self-inflicted injury:[36] stoking a bonfire at his home, he decided to add petrol; the ensuing flare-up gave him serious burns to his face and neck,[37] leading to him missing six matches.[16] Before the injury, Ipswich were challenging for the league title, but, in Beattie's absence, the side lost four of their last six matches and missed out on winning the championship by five points." |

Next year is going to be so tough it'll be impossible for more than two teams to go up and at least four will go down. |

There have been several foreign language based quips in this thread and so far everyone seems fine, inshallah. |

Yeah. Immaterial if both clubs are still in the Championship next season, which they will be.
It would take something for Norwich to close the the 10 point gap, though. They are much improved, but our form would also have to dip sharply for that to happen. |

Among many bonus points for this report, I'd like to pick out the Quadrophenia reference.
An expensive afternoon for me as I lost a pair of glasses somewhere between Batman Close and R block. Probably still happier than losing the game and not losing the glasses though. |

I know opinions of Championship refs are low, but to suggest refs base decisions on the offender rather than the offence is taking it too far. |

If that were true then Field would have been in the starting line up since Varane got injured, and he hasn't been. |

Perhaps he's redirecting his anger at a player being found to have committed a sexual assault. If it were me, that's who I'd be angry at, and he wouldn't be playing for me ever again. Anywhere but a football pitch that's a serious offence that would result in being placed on the sex offenders register. I don't know why footballers are allowed to get away with it. |

Yes, 62% less possession is fake news - our possession of 37% is 59% of Coventry's possession of 62%, which is 41% less.
Other than that, possession stats are probably true and accurate but their relationship to final results may vary. But don't we all know that already? |

Certainly playing well for a man whose legs have gone. |

If you're unable to control the speed of your car to the extent that you would certainly fail a test, I can't really see why you would expect to be able to continue driving. |

Raheem Sterling is not ever going to play in the Championship. Ridiculous notion. |

If what you say is correct then it would just be a free transfer.
Dave report is just that, a report. It's not a legal document. So I'm reading 'deal' as synonymous with fee.
And what would be the motive for this subterfuge? Nobody would be complaining about Frey leaving on a free. Sometimes things are simply what they appear to be.
But since no public comment on QPR evades close scrutiny, perhaps Dave can clarify. |

An awful lot of work being put in to making Dave Mc wrong. If it's a fee, it's a fee. None of the purported chicanery really makes sense. |
