So the long throw is back with a b vengeance. From Brentford to Newcastle to Palace and Everton to Arsenal we are now waiting ages for the throws to be taken as these forward-thinking coaches have stumbled on the idea that you have a better chance of scoring a goal if the ball is actually in the pen...

Would love to see somebody other than Celtic win it, but not really likely is it. Hearts have started well but they`ll fall away as the season progresses and the usual suspect will surge clear and win it by 20 points. Maybe not this season but there is a chance going forward for Hearts now that Ton...

Having given great thought to the matter, in particular after the performance against not so long ago non-league Mansfield, my conclusion is , with 10 points from 10 games, we are just not very good whatever 11 is selected.. Or maybe it's the way you play that best 11. But what is our best 11? Do w...

Palace coming to terms with playing midweek football in Europe? Today they looked likely to win the game easily at Everton and made most of the running. Come the second half Everton decide to turn up and manage to score a penalty and a jammy rebound from Grealish who, the manager said in the week, s...

How did LFC manage the transitions back in the day, SCR? I'm vaguely aware of the 'boot room' culture, but not too sure what it actually is Basically promoting from within and people with long associations with the club who understand and were instrumental in establishing the culture. In other word...

I told you that you should have waited.
What an in depth squad Chelsea now have and the latest South American starlet is probably going to be a bit special.

Oh well, Man Utd up next will be interesting.

Lost two games this week and have been knocked off top spot...not looking good for Slot! getting the LOLs in before the Chelsea game You were a bit slow to post that, the last game was on Tuesday. If I had been you I would have waited for today's result v Chelsea and if Liverpool win you needn't bo...

Oh well. A tale of two moments really. One goal completely against the run of play that's a catalogue of errors and a missed open goal. Either of those slightly different and we probably win that. Salvaged the draw at least. Really need those defenders back, and to see more from the wide players an...

Lol.

A sucker punch from Ian. Is there a reply?

There is, an apology to Ian.
Hopefully today sees us get our 3rd win in the league from 10 games.

Fair play SCR, good to see you being the bigger man in all of this.

Form is temporary , class is permanent.

The cup results have slightly skewed the position as in the league we have only won 2 out of 9 but different people have different ways of looking at things. A win today should take pressure off the manager, if indeed there is any pressure, but a loss could put us in one of the relegation places Th...

Both a poor performance and failure to win tomorrow and I think it'll be toxic tomorrow. P6 W2 D3 L1, definitely relegation form, lets get on the pitch. jesus. The cup results have slightly skewed the position as in the league we have only won 2 out of 9 but different people have different ways of ...

A draw away to the lowest rated side left would be good with some decent TV money to be had...............but not Eastleigh.

Grealish has had a few good games for Everton but they make him the main man with players running around covering for him, something that wouldn't happen with England. The other two haven't played much football so no great surprise really. I am enjoying Jordan Henderson being picked ,and watching hi...

Surely there should be clarification from the club by now?
Getting to a Tuesday evening game represents so many more problems for fans than for a standard Saturday 3-00 p.m. kick-off.

From last night's Q & A: Fair enough and good to hear a solid backing Everyone is rooting for Hunt to do well, we’ve got a little bit of momentum now and a good squad in place. Up to him now to make the right decisions with who we have and try to get some proper progress this season I’d love to...

Having read the transcript. Rob is a bit tight-doesn't want to spend money on signing players. I'm not sure that he appreciates that we got lucky with frees for Wing, Pereira, Knibbs and Smith as this season's newbies don't look to be in the same class and rabbits can't always be pulled from the hat...

The only "little" club near to me are AFC Totton.
Eastleigh (not so little) still have a tricky away fixture and I wouldn't want them after the embarrassment of last time.

Is this round still regional?

Due to the heat, FIFA are looking to schedule matches to kick off after midnight UK time https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5yqr5rvz3qo Do you think that will happen with football being so big in Europe? I would have expected the organisers to try and fit in with European time zones rat...

I think you are right and that the Liverpool boot room was a bit special and different.
I can't think of any other top level club that implemented that type of succession programme so well.
