New ex-players (and managers) thread

[Rock Fox]

This game served up a textbook example of what the rule changes were designed to achieve.

Tamworth should be planning a trip to Spurs, getting probably their only chance for most players to turn out on a PL ground & probably the biggest payday in the clubs history. ...

Agreed - I think a sensible compromise would be that if the two teams are in the same division, the game goes to extra time and penalties.
If teams are in different divisions, however, then if it is a draw at full time - it goes to a replay - thus 'rewarding' the lower division's side for their effort along with a bit of a financial boost too.

Pity it won't happen

Would also incentivise the bigger teams to play a stronger team to try and win it in 90 mins.

All the best Birch, here's hoping for a swift recovery.

Harry Panayiotou is 30(!) and just signed for Larne

Great guy, great header. Also, and this is irrelevant for everyone on this forum, I can be seen celebrating in the crowd in this clip.

Another game where an opposition player complained that they didn't like the way we played. Vertonghen bitched that Leicester just defended and tried to pinch a goal, no ambition or something like that.

Might not have made it at City but he scored on his senior debut, has played in Scotland, Greece, Gibraltar, Malta and now Northern Ireland, plus made numerous trips to the Caribbean over the last decade. Decent enough life I reckon.

Great guy, great header.

Always worth watching again. One of my favourite goals ever. For when it was, where it was, against who it was... plus, of course, the goal itself. Huth stands still, ramrod straight, bends his back and - boof! - gives it some. It was a stunner.

Sydney Casino sports bar, Liverpool vs Arsenal (I think) was also on.

Supporters of those teams stood and clapped after I had enthusiastically announced my self as not being aligned to either of their teams.

Most probably hadn’t noticed the game going on on the muted side screen.

****ing love beating Spurs on their patch, with a player that they’d completely turn their nose up at. Wankers.

Love how calm Ranieri is in that clip as well.

I was in a very nice Indian restaurant on the south coast, sat next to a friend and work colleague, who happens to be a Spurs fan. He was following it on his phone, as I tried to avoid it, but he was increasingly getting frustrated by their inability to break us down and then went all ashen faced when we scored. I didn't rub it in, just sat there quietly, as his annoyance meant I didn't need to wind him up, he was doing that all by himself.

And they still can't defend set pieces.
