Williams deserved a straight red for his stupid and needless assault on the keeper. :mad:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Yes l agree totally with you as l would be very surprised if Williams does not face some charges for the part he played last night in the disturbance.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Already said no further action as he was booked. :confused:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

l would be very disappointed if that is the outcome as l still expect retrospective action to be taken and l will be very disappointed if nothing happens at all.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Were racist chants in the Chelsea match the other night, directed at the former Roma CB who now plays for Chelsea, then with all the complaints of last night, a few missed the Everton fan attempt to punch a Lyon player in that scuffle, who has subsequently been banned.

They could take action, the referee hands out the yellow for the challenge in my opinion and absolutely missed everything Williams then done as part of the scuffle, it was impossible for him to see it, it was impossible for us to see it without the overhead camera. The initial challenge would be a soppy red card to be fair, on first look people are calling for his head but if you watch it over and over he's just pushed the keeper off the pitch really. Credit to the keeper, he hasn't made an absolute meal of it either. I think a yellow would be fair for that, it's not fair for what happens afterwards though.

Everything that follows after is grounds for Williams dismissal.

Bilic on his last legs sadly after another shocking performance from his players...

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Shocking performance from the Hammers but all credit to Brighton, far and away the better 'team'.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Absolutely Jim.

Its quite clear the players are not playing for him now as l don't expect Bilic and Koeman to last that much longer now sadly.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

If they'd have done away with Bilic and approached Benitez a few weeks ago, I'd have been worried but I think that ship has sailed now that the Staveley train is in town. Assuming it goes through he'll net a £350m war chest for two windows, and I can't imagine he'd want to walk away from that chance unless it's a substantially bigger club.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Bilic seems like a decent bloke but can’t imagine anyone of substance wanting to work for Gold and Sullivan.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Yohan Cabaye gets a yellow for a horrible scissor challenge in which he dived with frustration about a denied Zaha penalty appeal, turns out he dived. As in a previous post, the standard of refereeing this year is absolutely shocking. From horrible red card decisions to yellows for leg breakers.

So does Zaha have a game where he doesn't go absolutely flying when someone breathes on him? We've already had one Ashley Young in this league.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Very much the special one today so far l see.:D

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Funnily enough I was walking home from shopping in the city centre and it was really depressing weather and though to myself I don't have a good feeling about this afternoon, how right I was. :(

Not easy to judge without seeing the game but it doesn't sound like a great performance, first win for the Terriers against United since 1958, well done them.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Managed to nick a win from the jaws of a bore draw.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

l still think Man Utd will end up in the top 4 but reality is starting to set in now as there is only one team who will win the title and we all know who that is.;)
