Enough to make the difference between me dropping and rising over the week (43rd to 41st) - shame I'm burning transfers. Would be chuffed if this was a normal team...

We already have the evidence that he went to bed, so presumably he stopped off at his computer on his way back to bed from having a piss.

Surely Falcao gets an assist for the Blind goal, Telegraph commentary for last nights game says this:
GOAL!! WEST BROM 2-2 MAN UTD (Blind) Rafael's cross from the right into the box is laid back by Falcao to the edge of the box perhaps two yards to the left of centre. Blind controls it then curls in a firm shot around the advancing Wisdom and into the bottom right corner. Excellent finish.
So I understand why he didn't get the points???

Not expecting Kolorov to start at the weekend now having played and given away a peno in Russia - hopefully come off the bench.

Re: TFF chit chat 18th, 19th and 20th October
I posted in another thread that Clichy will start at West Ham now. Then it's the League Cup so Kolarov will probably start, then Clichy again in the league. Looking like no points for Kolarov for a few weeks.sjr wrote:Not expecting Kolorov to start at the weekend now having played and given away a peno in Russia - hopefully come off the bench.

I don't think the rotation is that regimented either so wouldn't rule out him playing in one or both those games anyway.

Re: TFF chit chat 18th, 19th and 20th October
TFF had replied on Facebook:
"Hi Dave, the Chelsea move went as follows:
Fabregas to Hazard to Fabregas to Oscar to Fabregas - Goal
...so no KC for Hazard as he didn’t pass directly to Oscar."
Then last night added a KC for Hazard.
The late change of mind (probably due to email pressure) and the contradiction with their facebook post and (primarily) the inconsistency with all precedent in similar cases - is all unusually poor form from TFF, I've sent them a message asking for explanation

They made a mistake, on first viewing and most reports never mentioned the little hazard flick.
They rectified the mistake
No harm done

Re: TFF chit chat 18th, 19th and 20th October
It went Fabregas - Hazard - Fabregas - (Hazard?) - Oscar - Fabregas - goal
The first Hazard involvement definitely shouldn't get a KC, that's what I thought it was for. They have replied already highlighting the dubious second Hazard touch which, if true, is a fair KC.
"we reviewed the footage of the Fabregas goal again and again, and with Slow motion and HD footage it is clear that Hazard does get a slight subtle touch n the ball as it goes through to Oscar. Therefore a KC has correctly been awarded. "
Their HD and slow mo must be pretty damn good. Have re-watched and now see where the suspicion of that touch is, but still looked at best inconclusive to me, so surprised they could overturn the initial ruling

That's a dummy if i ever saw one, pathetic from the TFF big wigs, a few chance their luck and they cave in. Gonna have to start to look at everything a bit closer from now on maybe we've missed opportunities to scam some points

Re: TFF chit chat 18th, 19th and 20th October
Except when you're trying to "dummy" you don't move your leg backwards along with the path of the ball in order to slightly redirect it on to your teammate at a slight angle behind you by flicking it, you let it come to you and then let it roll between your legs.
If you watch just the ball and nothing else it's possible to see its subtle change of trajectory and increased speed after Hazard touches it.

Re: TFF chit chat 18th, 19th and 20th October
You're having a giraffe the ball came to him far to quickly for him to react to flick it on, he saw the ball going through and moved his leg out of the way either that or the video above was a sped up version. To be fair though I think there could be a case for a dummy to be included as a kc, after all it is a key factor for the resulting goal!

It can't be a dummy if he is trying to kick it or trying to get out of the way!
Could be an air shot though.....

Good job all the hazard owners who emailed in! It does look from the above clip that it is 50-50 but I suspect telegraph would of had a better angle and a slowed down version. They obviously had a look at it after the emails and found that there was indeed a little touch

Can anyone explain why David Silva did not get an assist at the weekend for one of the penalties - ball was played into him, he took a touch and was clattered, and penalty awarded! Is the question whether he was in control? I have seen other assists awarded for less!

@Fazza1973 - Wasn't the penalty awarded after Silva was bought down missed by Aguero? I seem to think it was as I was swearing at the TV after he cocked it up !!
