On "new Wembley" I find it a bit odd that there are stats for a ground/pitch in the same area with the same status as it has always had. Will Spurs produce stats for their revamped ground or Liverpool after the new stand opened? Tottenham categorise their ground as a new stadium, despite ...
If there is bad news coming, I would expect it to be announced early next week - after the deadline for season ticket renewals. I certainly wouldn't let anything Howe says dissuade me from that view The deadline for renewals is on the 14th June [ link ]. That's unless something's changed without be...
Tangenital stat - according to SSN only four current league clubs are yet to play at the new Wembley. I was surprised that two of them were 'big' clubs, being Blackburn and Ipswich. The others are Accrington Stanley, and Colchester United. Crawley Town broke their 'Wembley duck' this season, winnin...
Meant to post this last week - went to Fulham's home game with City, and it appears that it is now a thing, at Craven Cottage at least, to remove lids from drinks bottles. So my Coke Zero was sans bottle top. What's this about? Yeah like Brobers said. Full bottle with lid becomes a missile, lid off...
I come into Reading from Basingstoke a couple of times a week & the station has got steadily busier as the year has gone on It will probably only keep getting busier as Green Park Village continues to fill up (and inevitably expand) and more people are aware of its existence. 160,000 passengers...
Had enough of UEFA repeatedly turning down their application to become members, so today they have applied to become members of CONCACAF instead. UEFA qualifying criteria is that the UN need to recognise you as fully independent nation, so greenland fails there. Good luck to 'em I say! How are Wale...
Many congratulations to our ex goalkeeper, Alex McCarthy, for getting promotion to the Premier League with Southampton yesterday; I hope he gets his chance as their first choice keeper next season. Looks like he's out of contract, with Celtic and Liverpool interested: https://www.fourfourtwo.com/li...

1 year anniversary just passed 160k passengers used the station in the last year. Much more than expected. I come into Reading from Basingstoke a couple of times a week & the station has got steadily busier as the year has gone on It will probably only keep getting busier as Green Park Village ...
Just as an aside, the 2022-23 accounts still haven't appeared on Companies House. The deadline is at the end of next month. Don't know what penalties there could be for overdue accounts.
Rotherham have already made five signings, all free transfers: Jonson Clarke-Harris (from Peterborough); Reece James (Sheff Wed); Shaun McWilliams (Northampton); Joe Rafferty (Portsmouth); Sean Raggett (Portsmouth). They'll be challenging towards the top this season. Some astute signings there by S...

From Despair To Where? Genuinely thought Taylor and Carter-Vickers were nearer 30. They seem to have been around for years.
Both are twenty-six! Greg Taylor started playing regular first team football at eighteen; Carter-Vickers went out on loan to Sheffield United when he was nineteen.
It does speak volumes that Butland was their POTS but I'm not sure any Rangers outfield player would get in the Celtic team. I also think the point about the Rangers defence is equally valid for Celtic as well. It's not great and it shows against better quality teams. I think it applies to Celtic t...
Once again showing what happens when you don't have a natural goalscorer in the team. Apart from the disallowed goal, Rangers didn't trouble Hart. Idah follows up the one half decent shot and buries the rebound. I've watched Cantwell all season because I thought he looked a decent player in the Cha...
