    I vaguely recall Hoolahan going down, I think away to Watford when we won 3-0

    Don't think he was touched but God it was beautiful.

    I was at that game sitting with the owners and directors of Watford, in fact the owner was sitting directly behind me. I had been warned not to show out which was not easy, but for the Hoolahan penalty incident, I was embarrassed into silence, albeit it with a strangled smile.

    I spend a lot of the Winter in that part of the World. I didn't bother with the service last time but will be serious about it this  time.

    Is it as straight forward as it is in England for those few televised (Sky) games re: reception, paying with UK card etc?

    I have previously tried to get illegal streams when in Thailand but without much luck.. although my attempts were insipid as the time difference doesn't go well with the alcohol intake. I thought may be that these were blocked/censored as with the Daily Mail.

    I registered for iFollow when I got here. I used my U.K. credit card and am now watching my 3rd game.

  3. It is difficult to compare eras as football has changed so much over the years. I believe Walker played the diamond formation and under Lambert it sometimes felt like the charge of the light brigade. Both were very exciting but during the Lambert era there were times when I felt we were invincible and there was a massive togetherness at the club. It has taken Farke a year to get where we are today. When I think of the turnover of players and a complete change of football philosophy, I cannot believe we are top of the table, and some even feared that relegation was a real possibility. The collective skills level of the team is up there with anything I have seen in the past. How we ended up with Leitner for just over a million pounds, I have no idea. You just have to watch him play and look at the stats to realise how good he is, and he is surrounded by players who can carve teams open. When you consider that Vrancic, Trybull and Hanley( I know he has been injured )are not in the starting eleven, we have the makings of a very special team and for now I am just enjoying the ride.

  4. I watched it live on iFollow and my first reaction was one of disappointment and I do think he was partly to blame, but I do think he is a very good addition to the team. Most goalkeepers have a ricket in them, but this team seems to be united and support each other. As a collective they have brought me so much joy over recent weeks, and I for one, am thoroughly enjoying this journey. I cannot remember the last time we had so many highly skilled  players in a squad.

  5. I was at the Fulham game last year and I think that sealed his fate. I doubt he regrets his behaviour, but I believe he could have had a role in the new playing system as he is certainly not without talent. I am still hoping that Wolves come for him in January
