I don't think they've ever got over the offside goal by Jeff Astle.

Amazing what they got away with. Swinging arms, fans and police on the pitch, Revie on the pitch, objects hitting the linesman.What scum.
If you are going to shithouse, don't complain if the opposition shithouse too.I think we've become much more streetwise in the last 12 months, we know how to buy free kicks in tenuous circumstances, how to waste time to see out a game and how to rub people up the wrong way.Now I'm certainly not happy that cheating and diving is rewarded at all but we can choose to stand as paragons of virtue while the likes of Salah, Bamford et el are excused at every turn and we will lose out, or we get wise and compete. We've levelled the playing field of our own volition and good for us.It's part of the modern game I hate, alongside VAR and the gargantuan hypocrisy of almost every manager, the Newton Heath penalty bleating a prime example. But until it is addressed I'd rather we yanked eveyone's chain 'cos they won't give it a second thought about doing it to us.

It's the sweetest win of the season by miles.
Can we have this back on Heroes Discussion until the next match please?
