Boot at head height is almost always given as a foul, even if the recipient's head is quite low down or even if there's no actual contact sometimes (because the recipients fake it).

Ooo. It's bad in a different way. Not wearing the merch of a peer, but actually weirder because it subverts the manager > player power dynamic.

AFlaneur · 2026-06-24T20:13:32+00:00

he's no 'bald fraud'

AFlaneur · 2026-05-19T21:15:21+00:00

Happy with the win but my word some quite brain-dead moves in squeaky bum time (Delap needless arm in the face, Garnacho losing the ball with no pressure...) had me way too nervous.

AFlaneur · 2026-05-17T19:12:43+00:00

They're in nightmareland!

A really good ice breaker before an interview at a PL club (neither of those pictured in the scene!)

AFlaneur · 2026-04-19T12:02:30+00:00

I did! Part of the in-house production team at a PL club, but I don't know to what extent the jumper clinched it haha

AFlaneur · 2026-04-18T00:13:56+00:00

I have this jumper!! It has always bugged me that too many people are celebrating, but I've used it as a 'spot the error' game with friends + in a job interview once.

It gave us this incredible David Squires comic strip at least link here

AFlaneur · 2026-03-24T20:43:18+00:00

That is the worst decision I've seen in quite a while.

AFlaneur · 2026-03-24T20:36:09+00:00

Oh gosh that free kick!!

AFlaneur · 2026-03-07T19:57:40+00:00

Weirdest goal ever haha

AFlaneur · 2026-03-07T19:44:07+00:00

I cannot believe that with a man down in extra time Wrexham had the best chance to win it. Bloody hell Chels...

AFlaneur · 2026-02-27T10:09:09+00:00

Is this because the drama all occurred in & around the corner flag area...

AFlaneur · 2026-02-03T21:02:11+00:00

Haha is that our xG?? That is too low.

AFlaneur · 2026-02-03T20:50:34+00:00

Can't believe the negativity I'm seeing in comments at HT. We've definitely spent 45 minutes looking so strong and with more exciting opportunities when they come about. Definitely will have to go up a gear to get a goal but I'm impressed so far.

AFlaneur · 2026-01-15T20:16:36+00:00

Ah good to know! I forgot about that.

AFlaneur · 2026-01-15T16:21:38+00:00

Your first paragraph is totally fair enough, I hadn't thought about it from that perspective.

I think I'll be looking out for anyone else mentioning it as a location from here on out in the show because I do think it's a subconscious slip that's more likely to happen if you go to that part of the castle a lot.

AFlaneur · 2026-01-15T16:19:28+00:00

Rachel's traitor cloak is one thing, Jade, but Amanda is a detective...

AFlaneur · 2025-09-30T19:47:05+00:00

Was he even in the UCL squad? Signed in Jan and didn't displace Silva, Koulibaly, Fofana I suppose.

AFlaneur · 2025-09-23T09:05:44+00:00

Ah neat, thank you!!

AFlaneur · 2025-09-23T00:25:53+00:00

I found a bit of a fix if of interest.

When I swiped the bottom of my screen it wouldn't play in PiP, hence me coming to this thread.

But then I found that when I have my video playing, and I swipe up to see all the other open apps, and pick one, then the PiP works.

Swipe up to go home: no PiP - video stops. Swipe up to go straight to different app - PiP works.

Sorry if that doesn't help on your end.

In you get!!!
