    Dortmund needs to bring it home for Marco Reus’ sake. Plus I love seeing fans of that white team suffer.

    I read MLS are introducing new rules next season and I think these are some good changes worth implementing:

    Off-field treatment rule • If a player is suspected of injury and remains on the ground for more than 15 seconds, the referee will stop play and call for medical staff. The player will be removed from the field and remain off for at least two minutes for evaluation and treatment.

    Timed substitution rule •Substituted players must leave the field within 10 seconds. If a player doesn’t leave within 10 seconds, the incoming player must wait 60 seconds before entering.

    In-stadium VAR announcements •Referees will announce and explain VAR decisions.

        100% agree. I know it’s a time wasting tactic and you kinda expect your team to do it to wind down the clock, but it can be so infuriating when it’s the other way around.

        I’m all for having a set time and then it’s all square across the park. That being said, the crack down on time wasting in the PL is as effective as a clown at a funeral. If you’re going to crack down on timewasting during subs, do it across the park. Especially for some goalkicks…

    Just finished “The Next Doctor” only to realise that there’s 4 more episodes afterwards. I kept waiting for him to need to regenerate but no lol. That next Doctor is brilliant though.

      Which episode is that one? They all blur into one for me now xD

      Get your tissues ready. Tennants last episode hit hard the first time I watched. I think it got me the last time I watched too

        Yes but in comes the hurricane called Matt Smith

        But, the new episodes with Tennant made me miss him even more

          It took me a little bit to warm up to Smith. But what a guy. Tennant was my doctor, but it’s neck and neck between him and Smith

            I feel like I’m the only one in the world, but my favourite is a tie between Eccleston and Capaldi! There isn’t a new who doctor I don’t like though. I would love to watch the old stuff, eventually.

              Took me a long time to prefer Tennant to Eccleston, tbh, basically only when series 4 came along; Iwouldn’t be surprised if other people do prefer Eccleston. I think if Eccleston was Doctor for longer he’d easily be the best.

              And then you see what the MCU did with him and weep.

    Rumours that we might sign Szczesny from Juventus. I’m not sure how practical that would be for anyone, but my heart says “hell yes!!!”
