On the Grass really has just become a completely meaningless phrase now hasn’t it? Be nice if journos didn’t just accept that as an answer Contact makes a bit more sense - guessing it’s still a couple of weeks min for Paudie I reckon we'll see him get 45 mins or so against Franchise FC in the Pizza...

I liked him. Called himself Pélé. Wasn't his real name. It's almost like I can't quite believe he was ever real. And someone I've never forgotten, but I reckon many will have done: Ulysses de la Cruz. I remembered his goal, the long run from one end of the pitch to the other, but I had forgotten th...

BRO_BOT Here we fooking go! Two-nil up and cruising, then Caemiro gets sent off (the United chat predicted it)

On what planet does Amorim NOT substitute Casemiro after the first yellow ?

How about an unlimited number of teams in the play-offs, but each team has to be within 12* points of the first team to miss out on automatic ?

It’s about as sensible as most of the EFL ideas

*I picked 12, but it could be set at 8, 10, etc.

Well so far Tuchel has brought almost nothing positive to England, except a slightly higher level of honesty about performance and expectations. Who knows what is said behind closed doors but he seems agitated, every game, that the players aren't carrying out his instructions. Seems odd, maybe he's...

Reportage from England vs Spain U-19's Played at Pinatar Arena (walking distance from home - and no, of course I didn't walk) 11:00 (CET) Saturday 6th September England 3 Spain 3 Well, great value for money (free entry will do that), but the entertainment and quality of football was mostly first cla...

Jonny Evans' departure means that next season will be the first at Manchester United since 1973-74 without a player who played for the club under Alex Ferguson. :? Ferguson didn’t join Man Utd until 1985. Yeh, and there were players from 73-74 onwards who were still there when he joined. Well, one ...

genome Tottenham European trophies: 3
Arsenal European trophies: 0

I hate to break into my self-imposed exile, but do the Fairs Cup and Cup Winners Cup not count.
In one case Arsenal even had to win something to qualify for the tournament

Still leaves them a trophy down

I was there too, behind the Tilehurst end goal where it was scored ( Franchise- where is he these days? - and Carnaby’s Whiskers were with me). Description above correct, but I would say he was more central than “ towards the left touchline”. FFC is so fed up with the ongoing shitstorm that is the ...

Little Stewie Atwell excelling at the Rumbelows Cup final yesterday. First saying nothing to see here when Trippier knocked the ball out of Diaz's path with his hand, it would have been the softest penalty ever but once you have VAR how don't you see it? But then his meisterwerk came after Chiesa's...

Tremendous ... keeps United within 32 points, although they do have a game in hand

Played in the highest scoring Premier League game. (13 I think and equal with another game, but don't know who). 11, not tied 7-4 vs Portsmouth Also tied for second highest scoring game (6-4 vs spurs, tied with a fair few others, United 9 Arsenal 2 likely the most famous but there's a end of season...

Safe from the drop ... in the circumstances that may be the best we can hope for

1974 team photo https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-8Fi1kPL11s/hqdefault.jpg Sadly, I can name the whole lot Took a few seconds to get Trevor Cherry Can get them all except the first two sat on the front row to Billy Bremner's right. Thought one of them might have been Brian Flynn or Ray Hankin but reckon 1974...

Wtf is that badge though Its their initials in a yellow circle, in a glorious 70s style. I'd have loved to have seen the graphic designer who came up with it pitching it to Leeds board of directors at the time. 1974 team photo https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-8Fi1kPL11s/hqdefault.jpg Sadly, I can name the w...

Now I'm not sure, but aren't our current full back options: RB: Yiadom, Abrefa, Ryan LB: Dorsett, Ryan. So we only have one fit fullback and he's played how many senior minutes? And he’s going to play at both left and right fullback :shock: plus Dorsett is a primarily centre back :lol: Can this Joe...

Yiadom out for another 6-8 weeks according to Selles. Didn't seem concerned about Knibbs, Abrefa or Dorsett. https://x.com/ReadingFC/status/1816065797753610570?t=rpbPI9Fvzh5GJgzj49P_nA&s=19 Now I'm not sure, but aren't our current full back options: RB: Yiadom, Abrefa, Ryan LB: Dorsett, Ryan. S...

Birmingham's (rumoured) spend is now at £10 million this summer. And that includes a low-ish fee for Alfie May who will almost certainly have needed a massive wage to join. I suppose it'll probably work, but it has got more than a bit of 'financial oblivion in two years' about it. It seems they’ve ...
