It's a shame that Spurs have to play Sheff U. Their fans deserve Newcastle and Chelsea to both win their last two games to go above them on goal difference on Sunday.
We're far better off trying to carefully build a competitive squad of good value by increments and taking a couple of years of substantial losses over going all out, likely failing and having to to it all again the next season, with spiralling wages and a huge loss. I think on balance at the moment...
I think it would be more amusing if ten Hag is still Man United manager and Sancho turned up for pre-season training wearing a Champions League winners medal.
Bit harsh to call Convey hit and miss. Ok it took him a while to settle but then he was brilliant until the bad knee injury that he never seemed to fully recover from. Hardly his fault. +1 Also one of the few (only?) Reading players to play in a World Cup Finals competition (in 2006) Hahnemann was ...

Black boots seem a bit more popular with the kids again at the moment. Even Jnr II who used to be keen on god awful coloured boots has a black pair at the moment. Still can't convince him that a nice pair of leather boots would protect his feet a lot better than a flimsy piece of plastic with a fabr...
Understood. File under sin bin then. Talking of sin bins, Jnr II's team had a bit of a maverick ref the other week. He decided sin bins were actually a thing and sent two players to the sin bin for 10 minutes towards the end of the match. Also gave a coach a yellow card for questioning it. Odd chap...

Was always going to be a transitional season with the midfield overhaul. But they've been screwed by the players returning from injury since the cup win being way out of form.
The pilot who died, who seems to be not mentioned very often and gets forgotten about, was an innocent party too and had reservations about the condition of the plane being used beforehand. He may have had reservations about the plane but they didn't extend to owning up to not having a licence for ...
England never getting the world cup finals despite being one of the few nations with the infrastructure to be able to meet FIFA's ever increasing, over the top demands. Look at the Euros final at Wembley, All the infrastructure in the world doesn't help if our idiot fans give FIFA even the slightes...
can I throw in another interesting law of the game that people often don't know? If a game goes to a penalty shoot out and one of the teams has had a red card during the match, the other team has to nominate a player that is excluded from the shoot out so that in case it goes way into sudden death ...
