Oh, and while we're at it - if you are offside you are offside. End of.

It was funny, in the BBC video archive, to hear David Coleman say during Italy-West Germany in 1970 "offside there, but not interfering with play". It's always been there, that qualification to the rule, it's just expressed differently now (the whole "phase of play" thing was an attempt to clarify, I think). Quite a "modern" amount of injury time in that match too, which was also no surprise to Coleman.

This may sound harsh, but I really, really hope you don't win the league again until 2016 at the earliest.

porkpie, refering to "the premiership" as a seperate identity to "the league" means you have been badly brainwashed in the worst possible way.

sorry, didn't notice the capital P ;)

and no, I haven't been brainwashed

xpost:
B-b-but it's you that used the word Premiership. You could have just said "I would kill for another league title" and then this whole nasty business need never have happened.
