    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Would certainly address a few issues. Potential for three actual defenders in the vague vicinity when teams counter attack. Dragusin would assumedly help massively on defensive set pieces, and maybe attacking - he does like a header. Shoring up the vast acreage in central midfield. Porro...

    Sin-bin trial plan recommended for professional games

    I think that in general they do give yellows for tactical, attack breaking take-one-for-the-team fouls. A good example would be Donley’s recent pull-back in the closing minutes against Brentford. No attempt to play the ball, the intent was crystal clear and everyone watching knew exactly what it...

    Sin-bin trial plan recommended for professional games

    Having a little swim against the tide here: but I think it is a reasonable idea to trial at least. Tactical fouls to stop counter-attacks happen every single game and are blatant anti-football. Every coach will tell their players to do it and take the yellow. Why? Because the gain so clearly...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Perhaps the ones with a (reasonably obvious) business plan, and the money and recruitment packages to actually recruit and keep elite staff and talent? Maybe bang for the buck, Crewe Alexandra have the best academy. Just not so many bucks?

    The VAR Thread

    The rules are subjective, and thank goodness for that. So the choice is instantaneous inconsistency or a bit less inconsistency with a bonus 3 minute delay. I know which I would prefer.

    Match Ratings Ratings vs Bournemouth

    Lots of good shouts for Udogie and second-half Lo Celso. Well deserved. But I would like to throw in a couple of alternative good words: first for Richalison who did an immense amount of dog work especially in the first half when not much else was clicking. Arial challenges, closing down...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Everton

    I look at it this way. We came out of the blocks and played technically demanding football even though we didn’t have the ideal personell. We went two up, with one of the goals being a click-clack pass and move beauty. From there on, we were outplayed. But maybe the bravery (stubborn-ness) of...

    Nice to see the UEFA president has stated that football is not for sale. Phew, for a moment there I thought that money had already started to play a significant role 🫤
