I think they mean frame sizes.An esoteric footballing term that I've not encountered before. Does it involve keeping pigeons?
Leicester v Leeds in the reindeer cup ( caraboa )or whatever it's now called . Bit of banter with @Supersuperleeds coming up on weekend ride.At least they sold Chris Woods I'd would have put money on him scoring against us. Come on you Foxes
A story with a touch of Roy of the Rovers about it at Goodison Park yesterday.
Our poor start to the season seemed to be continuing as our slow, narrow, impotent football predictably failed to trouble Bournemouth who were 1-0 up.
Cometh the hour, cometh the frozen out man. Oumar Niasse, previously treated appallingly by the club after a poor start to his Everton career (not given a squad number last season, nor a training locker and told by Ronald Koeman he had no future and that if he wanted to play football, to go and find another club), was introduced as a substitute, played havoc with the Bournemouth defence, scored the equaliser, then the winner and lifted the roof off Goodison.
Had it not been for the failure to sign a forward to replace Lukaku, Niasse wouldn't have been in the squad, never mind on the bench.
Hands up, I have to admit, I was one of the many of little faith, who thought he was useless. Sometimes humble pie tastes quite nice, I hope yesterday wasn't an isolated flash in the pan and Niasse continues his comeback. @Dec66, fair play to you, I recall you challenging me when I said Oumar was Niaffe, hope he continues to reward your faith.
MOTD was up you its usual bias last night.
Plenty of 'analysis' of Alonso's theatrics (he was an idiot to be fair) but not even a mention, or indeed any footage, of Crouch's dreadful tackle that should have seen him receive a straight red.
Had that been eg Luiz the full weight of the Beeb's footballing inteligencia would've been unleashed.
An almost unwatchable show that desperately needs a makeover.
My team, Shrewsbury Town, are now the only unbeaten team in the EFL (I don't include the Premiership) this season, after today's 1-1 draw with Blackburn. We are top of League 1 and never in my wildest dreams could I have predicted a start to the season like this.
We'll see at the end of October when you get a right POSH thrashing !!!![]()
It's pro LFC bias was evident again today as well, on MOTD 2 Extra, or whatever it's called. Talking about some of the performances so far, they referred to City beating Liverpool 5-0, but of course that can't be considered a realistic result (or words to that effect) because Sadio Mane was sent off, you don't hear qualifications for other teams weeks after the event, from the BB(LF)C.MOTD was up you its usual bias last night.
