Optimistic Nut

Fwiw it's one I think should be classed as onside, but as the law stands, it's not. How isn't it the "other side of the coin" ? People were in uproar about VAR ruling out a goal on Sunday. Here's one where it would have done it's job and disallowed it correctly. As a result of this mistake, Leicester or Ipswich might miss out on Premier League football next season. I was at the Everton game last month, I celebrated the Burn "goal" in real time. I didn't stop celebrating at the time. Was gutted when it was ruled out, but fans can still have that moment.

The flip side of the coin to yesterday. If Ipswich miss out on promotion by a point, that decision has done them. Least the Leeds fans got to celebrate in real time though!

Boro had picked up 20 points from the top 6 going into this match. They really should have been up there.

What a goalscorer man. Even in his later career at the likes of Blackburn, Fulham and City he was hitting 1 in 3.

Can't say I've seen move of him but Kelly makes a lot of sense. Two CBs down for at least half a season so you'd think Burn will start as LCB, Kelly could push him for that slot but also play LB. 25/26 phase Burn out and keep Kelly in his role as number 2 LCB & LB while Botman is back and we buy another LB.

Southgate just has shades of OGS to me. I could see him maybe doing okay but they'll not threaten the major trophies with him.

Charlton definitely seem to have something over them when it comes to blowing promotion.

You can't measure offsides like that with the naked eye either, but here we are with a law where things like that could be deemed as off and linesmen are meant to even look for offsides like it. Sooner we have the Wenger Law in at all levels, the better imo.

Too late now.

What'd the reaction been had that been Hojlund by the way?

The fucking beauty of it all if Mark Robins ended his Man Utd career after an FA Cup game after saving Alex Ferguson's the same way.

It would be a perfect fit, I reckon. If they did somehow get Tuchel man...

Takes me straight back to the peak Robson team.

I know they don't have a great number but those fans who've paid money all season to get to this stage then have it taken away. Also there'll have been players who've turned down moves to other clubs to get promoted.

They seem to get shit luck like. Voted out of the Football League originally, demoted a few seasons ago, they still come back from it all, now this. Such a shame man.
