David Squires In The Guardian

I like Emou. The references keep changing, so he's not flogging the same joke entirely.

Not his best strip overall, but it's a massive over-exaggeration to say he's become a parody of himself when his stuff has been top notch for ages, often getting better week by week. His work is excellent overall.
 
Very nicely done.

Also: “Danny Drinkwater is always sayin’ that” :lol:
 
What's the kneeling thing?

It had no discernable effect though. As you may have guessed. :lol:
 
oh, why did he do that?
I'm trying to see a reason behind it.
Maybe if the Soton player went for a low ground effort,and our players naturally jump,then you're leaving DDG rather flat footed so having McTom there blocking sounds sort of understandable..I guess ?
But apart from that long-winded theory I haven't a clue.

Brozovic did it v Barca (few other examples too). Presumably we copied it as we're so open to new ideas.....

I would expect that to be the cause. Messi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo etc have all scored quite a few free kicks where they roll it under a jumping wall of players.
 
I never asked myself that question before. It just seems like something that would be banned.
It isn't why should it be? Besides, he didn't just lie there, he dived in at the last second. It was actually a brilliant play, most likely saved a goal as Suarez did go below the wall and the ball hit brozovic
