    What coffee did Joel Glazer get? I reckon Mocha with extra chocolate sprinkles.

    Ole had a coop of tea, obviously. Proper Manchester.

    I like the idea of Joel Glazer having to make the decision from Florida because, what do you know, the people who gave him a new deal months ago based on absolutely nothing all back him. Isn't he supposed to have stopped two managers from binning Martial? Turn it around Joel lad.

    What they call mash is just crushed potatoes with no milk, cream or butter.

    There should never be anything other than salt and white pepper in mash anyway. Fuck that wallpaper paste that chefs churn up.

    Somehow about Brighton, but the omerta around Bissouma from all and sundry is interesting. Best player, on the bench, never gets on and nothing is mentioned. Next bail hearing on Nov 4th apparently.

    Nketiah doing excellent work, following it up with a great touch and then almost shinning it wide from 0.5 yards out.

    Mason Mount must have missed about 75% of his penalties. (Yes I’m counting the one before the retake, tried his best to miss that too)

    Walcott was never scoring either

    That rule Niko has been bleeding about on multiple occasions about when the defender makes a play for the ball is dogshit but if the replies are correct here and this is also offside, the game has gone/was never there.

    Could a side theoretically employ a sweeper that stands behind the keeper and yet does not affect the point at which the attacking team is deemed to be offside?

    That should be ruled onside. The offside law does not treat the goalkeeper differently to anyone else.

    That should be onside, I think, but the interesting thing would be if the 'keeper was further forward than the guy in the middle, and, bear with me here, the shot is blocked by the guy on the line, the chap in the middle would then be allowed to tap it in legally, whereas if the 'keeper is in the position on the line and saves it the tap-in would be disallowed, as the intentional play of the ball bullshit doesn't apply to goalies making saves (I don't know if it doesn't apply to them generally ).

    A player is in an offside position if:
    any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
    any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

    The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. For the purposes of determining offside, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit.

    A player is not in an offside position if level with the:
    second-last opponent or
    last two opponents.
    That's from the UEFA laws of the game. It's second-last opponent with no mention of it being a goalkeeper, so under no circumstance should that be an offside.

    It might be a misunderstanding as this is the original ball:



    It could be that the linesman thought that was offside. It still isn't by the looks of it, but it'd make a lot more sense.
