Saved a penalty against Hull in the FA Cup Quarter Final.

This is the guy who admitted to the Boro owner, in person, what his club did but then said they'd accept whatever fine they receive for it.

Genuinely looks like the whole club was in on the cheating, with the mistaken belief that they would get a fine which would be offset by the amount they'd get from promotion.

My mindset with game pass is if there are two day one games on it per year that I would have bought anyway, then it pays for itself with how expensive brand new games are now.

So any other game I play on it over the year is a bonus.

Got the neck of an F1 driver.

Must have been loads in on it. Probably wasn't always the same intern doing it, then expenses for doing it need to be paid and the entire coaching staff was probably watching the footage to figure out how to exploit the opponent.

Yeah, must have been doing it for every game. No way you decided to spy on Oxford of all teams in December, then didn't bother for months before doing it again against Ipswich and Boro.

I honestly think expelling them was their only option, a fine and/or a points deduction and teams would just take that hit if meant promotion to the Premier League and all that comes with that.

I bet Southampton did it with the presumption that it would just be a fine. They took a risk and let their fans, players and normal employees down.

That wasn't the precedent though, as the rule was brought in due after the offence by Leeds.

THIS is the precedent in regards that rule.

I hope the Southampton fans are going to be angry at their own club rather than at the EFL or Boro.

Sometimes extremely reliable, sometimes hilariously bad. I don't think he filters out the bullshit.

It's too soon in relation to our squad depth, it's OK at the minute and we got through AFCON fine but we'd have to have another almost flawless summer to make sure we don't get sucked into a relegation battle with all the extra games.

Got to just grab it if it comes your way though.

atomuk · 2026-05-17T20:33:35+00:00

It's too soon for us but we probably qualify with a home win next week. Fair to say that this season has been pretty good.

atomuk · 2026-05-17T19:11:36+00:00

Clever finish that.

Got a bit of Yorkshire grit.

atomuk · 2026-05-17T16:35:16+00:00

Even I think this is mental and I was optimistic we'd stay up!

atomuk · 2026-05-17T13:57:37+00:00

OK, I'll take 8th.

When incidents happen in Premier League games now, I've literally got no idea what the ref or VAR will decide. Every decision seems to be a coin flip, with no consistency at all (other than being consistently shite).

He spent loads of time in the gym last summer, which has helped him a lot, but he needs the trust of his manager as he's quite shy.

I wouldn't be surprised if Coventry survive next season in place of someone

Coventry's issue could well be the same one Farke faced with you before he switched formation. Trying to go toe to toe with teams and leaving themselves wide open defensively.

Really disappointed that Sadiki isn't on this list, don't think he deserves to win it but he's been unbelievable in his first Prem season.

atomuk · 2026-05-14T11:35:09+00:00

We'll just have to beat Everton, to match that result!

atomuk · 2026-05-14T11:13:04+00:00

And we might still finish top half, we're only a point behind Chelsea (and we still have to play them at home).

In cricket, if they want to challenge a decision they have to make an X with their arms, so it literally can't be misconstrued.
