That is never a pen. Attacker isn't even getting in the same postcode as the ball. One for people who like rules more than football

Here's my radical way to defend corners... your best header marks their best header, second best header marks second best header, third best header, keep free to attack the ball. Then down on a sliding scale. Obviously wouldn't work every time but at least it gives defenders some responsibility

Today, as we do every year, we remember the 33 people who went to Burnden Park on March 9, 1946 but never returned. RIP the 33 (shameless plug here if you want to know more about the forgotten tragedy www.google.com/amp/s/www.th...)

Whenever Chelsea fans want 'their' Chelsea back, it's a massive coincidence that it is the Chelsea who were European champions, and not, say, Erland Johnsen, Mark Stein and John Spencer

Getting it in the mixer, no VAR - is this the weekend we reclaim the game from the laptop lads and xG unit? Probably not, but it's nice to see
