He's scored 5 home games in a row.
That's some achievement.
On 4 yellows so probably be suspended before Xmas but have to say he's been so wonderful and sometimes he makes football look so easy.
What a midfielder!

At the risk of sounding a bit… well, like you… an intentional booking might be handy on Sunday. He could play both legs v AZ and just miss the Luton game, in which we shouldn’t miss him too much. He then gets a fresh start for the busy run up to 19 games.

I like your thinking Percy.

I know it is actually cheating but its what "big" winning teams do - so i hope we do

It's not cheating if he spits in their manager's face after being subbed in injury time having scored the pen Moyse moaned about.

Surely it’s just a case of scoring an 89th minute winner then taking off the shirt and waving it about a bit, no?  ;D

I can't believe I agree, but I do!
And I'm impressed by the understanding  of cynical methods in these posts on how to acquire a caution! People are being quite creative!

It feels a bit naughty and against the my nature , not to mention sporting behaviour, yet it's all part of the game at professional level. I have come to terms with these things for a while and look at it for the greater good and bigger picture -as it's for the love of our club!

Lucas Digne is also on 4 yellows , one away from a suspension. Any suggestions on how he too could pick up a booking?

Great efforts!

Say no more!
That would be fun!

This is the strategic play. Very effective when implemented. No one gets hurt!

That foul play may lead to more than a yellow.
I would have to draw the line at spitting.
Refusing to give the ball back when Moyes wants to retrieve it would suffice.

These are the options to obtain a yellow card. Oh this is so naughty!

-Unsafe or reckless play

-Disrespecting opponents

-Any offence (not only a foul) that interferes with or stops a promising attack

-Showing dissent, i.e. protesting or disagreeing publicly with a decision made by a match official

-Entering or re-entering the field of play without the referee's permission

-Improper celebrations, i.e. removing your shirt or entering spectator areas

-Entering the referee review area or excessively demanding a video 'review' in matches with VAR (video assistant referee)

-Deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee's permission

What, pointing out that jellied eels taste like shit or saying something outrageous about Lady Brady?

If there is a clause in his current contract offer him a new one and get rid of it.

We have to keep hold of him.

Adding goals to his passing and defensive work, along with being good from the penalty spot and a great set piece taker.....  He's the shit, isn't he?

Wins a lot of dirty ball these days, has improved out of all recognition in that part of his game. Goals will get the headlines but he's like a younger Verratti these days with his ability to play on the half turn.

To think many of us would've snatched Arsenals hands off for that £25m, What the fuck is he worth now? Ridiculous player.
