They have skills and are enjoying a spirited game of The Floor Is Lava. Meanwhile, the lion is just standing there shouting and anyone can do that so big deal. Sheep for the win!

Beginning of June Bundesliga results suggested that home advantage has disappearred. Went from 45% home wins to 20% or something similar. No idea if that trend continued. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it has and noticeable that there do seem to be more away wins but could be my imagination I agree with this. I also think it's led to games being slower, because players don't have the fans roaring them on/moaning if they play it backwards. There was an article on BBC News yesterday saying Premier League games have been slower, with very few first half goals and fewer shots on target.

Rioch's Braves 711 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Looks like Warnock's gone for pace with Spencer, Coulson and Roberts in the 11, quick counter attack. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see why Sky would choose to broadcast the game at 5pm specifically, when many people (myself included) will be eating and getting the kids ready for bed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

More pace in the side and to be fair to Britt, I thought he was our man of the match against Stoke, despite what he's mostly served up this season. Link to post Share on other sites
