Re: FA Cup Final (Poll)

That result drops Chelsea from Europa League to Europa Conference League And St. Eddie Howe's Newcastle won't play in Europe at all. Interestingly the two flops from this season ,Newcastle United and Man Utd have come nowhere near getting a place in the Champs League next season. As for the cup fin...

Re: FA Cup Final (Poll)

Found myself (unexpectedly) happy with that. I like City's style of play but they were passing me to sleep early on and deserved what they got in the 1st half. How Wan Bissaka is not in the England squad I have no idea. (He might not offer a lot more but he's the best defending full back we have.) R...

Re: England - the future....

The language of the football press....

Marcus Rashford was snubbed apparently.

So that means he was not just "not selected" because he's been really shit at football for a year. Oh no, on the contrary, he was treated with contempt and disdain.

Re: VAR

All of these suggestions are all well and good but it completely ignores the biggest "cuplrit" that caused the need for VAR in the first place, and that is something that is very unlikely to go away. TV replays. Contrary to opinions often stated here and everywhere you can think of, the st...

Re: England - the future....

It’s not just England. There’s no glamour appeal in the art of defending to us British any more. I suppose Cole, Terry and Ferdinand were top class but I can’t think of another one since them. Even potentially top class youngsters who start out as defenders (Rice for e.g) end up being converted to p...

Re: Weekend Football

Arsenal were really poor.

If Saka (who has looked a shadow of his former self of late) starts the Euros ahead of Palmer then It will prove Southgate has completely lost his marbles.

Re: Is there a better front 6 in world football

Trouble with that Front 6 is, of course, that Palmer will likely only get about 5 minutes in a couple of games (as sub for one of the other 5) so we won't get to see how good a line up it really could be.

Where does our back 5 come in world ratings?


Probably not even Top 20.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

Sutekh Only BBC Berks would do the goals of the season on the radio.


Goal commentary re-runs make up about 50% of TalkShite’s entire breakfast show output.

Still, better than listening to Alan Brazil’s voice.

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

I don’t fully understand how the structure works, and appreciate some clubs place lower priority on this league, but when half the squad he might have normally expected to have had available to him were needed at various times for the 1st team, plus everything else going on at the club, to finish ab...

Winston Biscuit Going to have to duck for cover maybe, but I feel like I don't rate Olise as highly as everyone else.


I’m with you.

Very talented but a bit of a Flash Harry with attitude issues.

He won’t progress from where he is now.

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

Same for Nunez. Even Carragher recognises that now. Nunez is exactly the sort of player who will move to La Liga, or anywhere really - he's a real Atletico type forward - and score 35 a season. Something, surely, has to click into place soon, because he has all the technical ability. Mind you, I sa...

Loafer Lovely chokejob from Liverpool


Fantastic stuff. They are starting to look like a team in decline. Maybe Klopp knows.


I think they are.

I have a feeling they will struggle to make Top 4 next 5 years.
