General Football 23/24

If the tackles tonight were genuine attempts to win the ball I am sure that most would agree with you. But I don't reckon a lot of them were. People were jumping in with no chance to win the ball. Players on the ball had no chance skillful or not.

Indeed. They were late, cynical some of them pretty dangerous, Clattenburg lost control very early on. Dier's phantom second yellow foul could have been a straight red, Spurs were ridiculous.

What a brilliant season

I hope the wheels fall off everyone except us.

Leicester will have CL to focus on, Spurs will drop like we did after our title charge, Arsenal will have the distraction of Wenger's last season, City will be in transition, Man Utd will stick with LVG, West Ham's players will lose form.

We'll have a whole preseason with Klopp and new signings.

[Fosterbloke]

Oh and Chelsea's stars will move as they're out of Europe entirely.

Bournemouth paid a £7.6m fine for breaching Financial Fair Play rules after accruing huge losses last season en route to Premier League promotion, the club's accounts have revealed.

The Football League did not confirm the size of the penalty, but details were disclosed in the club's accounts, which show the Cherries made a £38.3m loss in winning the Championship in 2014-15.

That was up from £10.3m the previous season, mainly because of staff wages, which rose to £30.4m, more than double the club's turnover of £12.9m.

Eddie Howe's side won the Championship title last season but exceeded Financial Fair Play limits of permitted maximum losses of £6m for a season.

Late late goal for Bristol Rovers could see them dodge the play offs. Over to you, Accrington. What you got left in the tank?

[Liverpel]

I'll miss the Euros.

To me that's very sad news.

So I could be standing here, feeling sorry for myself. I could fear for my career, as others may do. I could give up.

That is not me.

I decide on my future .

There is a bigger picture to everything in life and only failing to see it, will cause me to fail.

I am a hard worker and a fighter and if you are too, then you know that, to people like us, success can come in many forms. We trust ourselves when the going gets tough.

I have the greatest respect for those who overcome their personal challenges in life with a positive attitude.

I want to live up to that.

So I remain calm and positive. I will continue to follow my path and I will do so with more conviction than ever.

I trust my friends and teammates to do well and do us proud at the next European Championships in France. I am now officially their most fervent supporter and I will be there to support them.

Written from my hospital,

Never giving up,

Vincent Kompany

What a smeggy snoozefest.....

[Chris]

Cheesy as **** that. What a bellend.

[Saveloy]

What have I missed? He's got a thigh strain or something hasn't he?

Reads like something from The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

But my knee is ****ed and I can't stand anywhere.
