Grapeviney

Can anyone shed any light on what sparked the quarter-time melee? Looked like our boys were filthy, I wonder if someone said something and if so, what?

Some good news for soccer supporters with Foxtel set to launch 3 new channels from BeIN Sports in the next few weeks as part of the sports pack. That means we get Euro 2016, Champions, Europa, some Brazilian football and all the best European leagues aside from the EPL. Given that BeIN has previously only been available as an ad-on that costs extra, this would suggest a lot of people were threatening to cancel Foxtel after they lost the rights to the Premier League.

I'd say he didn't, but it was poor judgement in my opinion to reveal what he did about Watts regardless. Why would a coach ever talk about a player's weakness or fragility to anyone outside the club? The poster has no obligation to keep it secret unless specifically asked to, but I think he also exercised poor judgement in making it public.

If you get the don't argue - argue back..

Tottenham continue to keep the pressure on Leicester, thrashing Stoke 4-0 overnight, with Harry Kane kicking a ripping goal similar to the one he scored against Arsenal a couple of months ago. But with Spurs scheduled to play on Monday nights in all but the last of their remaining games, the Foxes have the psychological advantage of playing first and being masters of their own destiny.

Story's dead, no-one's touched it since last night. If there was a problem we'd know about it by now.

Essential reading, but just short of deserving its own thread.

The greatest proof that we're finally building the right 'culture' is that we keep coming back from behind. We've been down in every match we've played this year - sometimes significantly so - yet we've come back every time. One thing I noticed creeping back into our game today which we had started to eradicate was multiple players getting sucked into the contest, leaving them unmanned on the spread. Happened a few times today and allowed them to move the ball out with ease.

Probably won't be drafted until about 2034 but we've already got a picture of the young lad.

As in the other Jesse thread, I've edited some posts to remove personal / family information. Please respect the sensitivities around this. Thanks

And win they did, Macca. Still a nervous few weeks ahead in the East Midlands but the Foxes are almost over the line now, needing no more than 12 points from their remaining six matches: @ Sunderland; Hammers; Swansea; @ United; Everton; @ Chelsea. Gunners have a game in hand but like Spurs, they can't afford to drop a point going forward and even that might not be enough to spoil Ranieri's party. A Leicester premiership really would be the stuff of dreams, and the best thing about it - for us as MFC supporters anyway - is that it shows sporting miracles can happen!

Let's continue this profound discussion in the existing Dom Tyson thread.

Once is more than enough.

Would struggle to get a second rounder with all his issues, the attitude, the run-up etc. He peaked last year and the rest of the competition knows it.

What's worse than picking Oliver over Parish is that with Freo now on the slide at 0-2, it looks like we're going to be stuck with our whinging dud of a full forward.

Astonished to see Tyson's name in here, turned it over time after time after time.

Feel more than a little foolish for laughing so hard at Richmond last night. The joke is well and truly on me today - I really thought we had moved beyond the rubbish they served up this afternoon.

Wow. I can't believe he went to the footy.

I used to love Todd so much I convinced my parents to fork out considerable $$ for tennis lessons with him back in the day. He advertised in what was then the MFC newspaper.. I still remember being shocked that his home phone number was just publicly available like that, and can also recall how nervous I was when I called for the first time. What I don't remember - at all - is anything he taught me about tennis, a game I had no interest in playing, but if he was still giving lessons, I'd probably still be a star-struck student. If Jack was doing something similar - heck, even if he was selling tupperware - I'd probably sign up for that too.

Collingwood are going ok given that 11 of their players are suffering from withdrawal.

Last time we met, one of their players died after being out-marked by Jesse

Tottenham's first half - admittedly against weak opposition - was as good as I've seen them play, the type of football you expect from champion teams, and Harry Kane is in white-hot form. The Manchester derby was underwhelming, and neither City nor United seem capable of catching the Foxes, although both (along with Arsenal and West Ham) have an extra game in hand. It will all be academic if Leicester can keep winning.

Classic Coodabeens, saying that "Gawn is the breakout player for the season even though it hasn't started yet."

It was The Sun newspaper which, under the front-page headline "The Truth", made the explosive - but entirely false - claims that Liverpool supporters had urinated on Police and pick-pocketed the dead as the tragedy unfolded. More than 25 years on, Merseysiders still refuse to buy that paper. The boycott was immortalised in this song by Billy Bragg, Scousers Never Buy The Sun.
