    Football League Championship, League One and League Two 2023/24

    I got a spare ticket for the recent game against Coventry and he was the one decent Saints player in the first half. Coventry double teamed him in the second half. Scored a great goal and should have been MOTM ahead of Che Adams. Adams, incidentally, is a free agent at the end of the season and...

    Arsenal

    That would end any luck with injuries then.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Liverpool thread

    A 32 year old Salah with one year left on his current contract isn't going to get them the same payout as it would have last summer.

    Let's All Laugh At... let's all laugh at United

    You haven't experienced the true joy of football until you've lined up with all the other parents and players to do a pre match dog shit and broken glass check on a British public park pitch.

    Let's All Laugh At... let's all laugh at United

    I headed an underinflated Mitre ball back upfield when playing centre back at school in the late seventies. PE teacher criticised me for not directing the header but it didn't really register due to the concussion.

    Mid-window review: ins/outs?

    I'm looking forward to all the made up shit as we approach the deadline and news sources become desperate foe eyeballs and clicks. :)

    Football Boots

    After trying many boots, mostly bought second hand from ebay, my daughter now has two pairs of Nike Tiempos. She mostly plays on the 4g at AFC Stoneham in the FG pair but has a SG pair for any games on grass.

    AFC Asian Cup 2024

    3-3 draw went through in second. If they'd won the group they would have played Japan, looks like they get Saudi Arabia or Thailand instead.

    AFCON 2024

    Cape Verde population about half a million, Egypt over 100 million. Punching above their weight.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

    At the time they took over the stadium the rent was reported at £2.5 Million and now as about £4 Million. I believe there are all sorts of conditions based on number of games etc, they even get a rent cut if they're relegated. :ROFLMAO:

    Joey barton

    I suspect the issue is that with women and people of colour being historically under represented in football related media there is an understandable rush to recruit a more diverse group of presenters, commentators and pundits. With male footballers having been very visible in the media during...

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

    My hatred goes back somewhat further than that due to the shit from plastic Liverpool fans at my NW London school in our relegation year. I still have a special hatred for Ronnie Whelan for that final though.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

    So the London Legacy Development Corporation (essentially London Council Tax payers) got stitched up on the deal but retain naming rights. In their shoes I'd go for a series of short term naming rights deals maybe starting off with Germoloids.

    The Managerial Merry-go-round

    Did the best he could with the shitty hand he was dealt. Someone will take the job but without spending in January it will get no better.

    Sin-bin trial plan recommended for professional games

    I'm told some grassroots leagues use it but I've never seen it. Even then as far as I know it's only for dissent.

    Our pathetic short corners!!!

    He's completely correct, though like anything, I'd say variety is the spice of life. The same can be said for throw ins, nothing more irritating than watching the defending team marking up your players while everyone waits for the full back to jog up and wipe the ball before taking a throw...

    Harry Kane

    FFS Harry Kane is undeniably a better striker than Erling Haaland. Just have to look at Harry's scoring record in a generally piss poor, overly defensive, Spurs team for the last couple of years. I watched Haaland receive the ball with his back to goal in the game against Arsenal; in the same...
