I only count eleven in that picture?

Please be joking

Well Teknik ally I'm not wrong

Maybe they agreed to play rush Goalkeeper?

Isn't rush keeper just normal football rules? Just because they generally choose not to rush out, there's nothing to stop them if they wanted (save for a bollicking off the gaffer).

I always thought rush Goalkeeper was anyone could drop back and play as the Goalkeeper. to stop a goal?

Rush goalkeeper was because we didn't understand the rules and thought the keeper had to stay in goal.

Only a 74 point deduction

The league sounds mad - CS Corvinul 1921 Hunedoara, CSC 1599 Șelimbăr, CSA Steaua București, CSM Slatina, CSC Dumbrăvița, CS Afumați, CS Unirea Ungheni 2018 and CSM Focșani 2007 cannot promote to 1st league. Viitorul Pandurii Târgu Jiu went bankrupt and all its results were cancelled and the team excluded from the league. CS Mioveni were deducted 74 points due to debts to their former players and managers.

As impressive as that sounds (and obviously is), how many of those were starts?

Exactly the same punishment that Man City will get I reckon.

Even that or a £10mil fine.

Craig Gordon was on the winning side as Hearts beat St Mirren on penalties in the Cup tonight. How many 42 year olds are still playing or have in the history of the game played professional football in the UK represented just three clubs?

Preston and Burnley are two of the founder Members of the Football League and contest the East Lancashire Derby.

Until this season they've never been drawn against each other in the FA Cup.

Nope, the OG was my right (stronger foot).

Went to clear a corner on the volley, caught it so sweetly, unfortunately it was on the wrong side of my foot. Rifled it into the bottom corner. Keeper stood no chance. The mug.

It's known as a Gassan.

I like that one. That’s not the full list of players who played their last Prem game for us though is it? (Not saying you’re saying it is) I can think of at least a couple more off the top of my head.

Spurs and West Ham both have 33 points from 27 games. Spurs are ahead by virtue of a 29 better goal difference.

ForeverAddickted · March 1

Probably does sound true given the amount of times I've said it

But find it mental that we've played Leyton Orient three times this season, six goals have been scored in those three games, yet just one goal was scored before the 90th minute.
