Bet she looks back in fondness of those 4 years she was held hostage after every game on the coach till she agreed Kalvin Phillips was Man of the Matchb
Jo never has a bad word to say about a Leeds United player, she loved Kalvin Phillips.
We all appreciated his sterling performances at the time, Kalvin raised his level to such an extent under Bielsa, he became one of the stars of Euro 2020. Shame you didn't recognise or appreciate KP at the time, of course you were in love with the good-looking boy, Alioski.

Not sure why you would go there. Howard Webb did an excellent job when he was Managing PRO (Professional Referee Organization) in the USA. The level of officiating in MLS is MUCH better now than the EPL! By some margin actually. And particularly with regard to video review. He's been dong the same job in England now for about 4 years. Maybe it's time for him to clean house and bring in some of the young Referee's that have trained under his watch. They can't be any worse!
Generally, apart from his perceived Man United bias, Howard Webb was a very good referee in my opinion. I don't think all refs are bad in the PL, and they're working under a flawed VAR system. There's always been what seems like bias to the Rich 6 no matter the ref, and I think that's where those like Michael Oliver get slammed. In general I don't think he is a bad ref.
I guess I would like to see refs be more consistent, less reliant on VAR to correct mistakes (seems ike we might be inching that way), and absolutely less chummy and more professional with the big players.

Wilson out of the Palace & Welsh games.
Haven't had time to look at the comments regarding his injury, but perhaps that's why he hasn't yet looked like last season's Wilson so far? Anyway, him being out for the Wales games means at least he won't get injured on International duty.

Blocking the doors of a coach preventing people from leaving isn't appreciation, it's kidnapping
