The F.A. for allowing Wembley to be used by the N.F.L.--absolutely churned up on Sunday

Paul Pogba for that penalty run up. If you’re going to take ten seconds to run six yards make sure you score the initial penalty.

Pogba for me too

Pogba for costing me fantasy football points with THAT run up

And don't cup your ears to the crowd when you've clearly missed a penalty after a farcical run-up, saved only by a lucky rebound.

Pogba.

They can have JCB racing on there for all I care.
It’s been losing its status for years. And when they let Tottenham use it as their own it became just another ground to me.  They should have sold it when they had the chance. Then built something decent in the MIDDLE of the country,  for easier access for the Northern half of the England fans.

The person who called this bizarre American game football.  :)

How come when old codger says read this he gets 6 + and 8 -

When Pete agrees he gets 1+  9 -  ?

There are some really sad illegitimates on here.

Clearly, for some, a show pony called Pogba is more important than the tragic death of a truly inspirational owner of a football club. Never mind eh?

I suppose just it's kids who are bored Chrissy. They can't help themselves.

Bad things happen every week. There are still twits (twits) about every week too.

Chrissy,

We all know that Pete has his ups and downs. The red crosses and green ticks do not bother 99% of the people on here and shouldn’t bother Pete. He has the option not to see them. Indeed I’m sure he poted  on here not so long ago that he uses that option.  Which is the right thing to do IMHO. I’m sure the vast majority of us wish Pete well. But until he feels a bit better it would probably be best not to post. I guess it’s hard for those of us that don’t suffer to understand why something so trivial should affect him this way. But clearly it does. So for now Pete, join the injury list.

But,

when you pass a fitness test get back on the pitch and join in the game. UTM

Pogba for that run up

Dan roan.

What happened at Leicester was an absolute tragedy, genuinely my heart goes out to all those people who are affected.  The guy and his family seem to be simply nice people who like doing good things.

But I can't be the only one who is a bit perplexed by this over the top outpouring of grief.  The absolute cynic in me recognises that the media are running and running with this story because it's easy and cheap news.  But it's getting beyond a joke.  Last night the commentary team at the Spurs/Man City game made countless references to it at every opportunity.  The first questions asked of Mahrez after the game were about his relationship with the guy who owned the club that he couldn't wait to get away from, to the point he went on strike at one stage! Yesterday on Sky Sports News they were interviewing Paul Lambert about it.  Paul bloody Lambert! I understand he lives near Leicester and went to the stadium to pay his personal respects, but from his interview it was clear he had as much of a relationship with the bloke as me or you.  

There is a need for grieving for all of those impacted by the tragedy.  But having it aired 24/7 is neither respectful or helpful to anyone.

I have literally no idea what the logic is behind this bizarre statement.

I am in 100% agreement with you. It is modern day phenomena and I think you're right that 24 hour news drives it. You then see people on social media almost competing to be the most heartbroken or most personally impacted.

It is undoubtedly sad that 5 innocent people died in an accident. It's especially sad if you're a Leicester fan or obviously a friend or relative of one of those who lost their lives. Why should it be sadder than 200 people dying in a plane crash in Indonesia though? Nobody is suggesting you can't call Pogba a twit because of that.

Post of the week. One of Englands finest, Glenn Hoddle had a heart attack, hopefully he'll pull through so where does this leave the TOTW award ? Because, just as with the awful tragedy at Leicester, it's not at all connected with the what-used-to-be-harmless bit of fun that is the TOTW.

This place is becoming really hard work at times.

I blame it on the obscurity of mid-table League Two football that nearly everyone on here dreamed of..

Not sure what league table you’re looking at Bigdog. I’m still dreaming of league 2 mid table obscurity 😏

Just to let everyone know there’s no TOTW next week as a mark of respect to the fallen on the centenary of Armistice Day.

Selene Nelson. Just when the Board at FGR were getting positive media coverage for their Vegan stance she publishes a private email from a fellow journalist and gets him sacked. Wonder if local media will ask for Vince's 'reaction'.

Tell us more Croxton. Not seen this story.

I was going to nominate Fenty for his 'no political will' comment, but willing to relegate him.

Stick with Fenty as there is no direct link to FGR with this story apart from Veganism. My gripe is with the low tactics employed by a freelancer to further her career. William Sitwell is a prat but she is no better than those 'fans ' who recorded and published Fenty's private comments last year.

Lots of coverage in the press, Twitter etc.
