Call it 'The Ninety'.

On the plus side, its easier for a giant killing over 1 leg than it is over 2. So you may see more giant killings and smaller clubs progressing further and get more prize money that way. Ask an EFL club that has drawn 1-1 at home to City over 90 minutes whether they'd rather chance their arm in ext...

Silver Fox I only followed the shootout on text but did I read right that Ederson took one of Citeh's penalties last night? That's quite the bottle hob from their outfield lads isn't it?

Was the best one, too. Thunderblasted it into the bottom corner.

I know it's just a bit of a meme, but I do find it a bit silly that, across social media, Kane is openly mocked. He's the second highest PL scorer in history, and he's gone to Germany and got 39 in 39 games for Bayern. Not to mention his 62 goals for England. This isn't a play who doesn't deliver - ...

How did Schalke get into the UEFA Cup? They won it that season so qualified to be in it again the next Crikey - wonder if they are the lowest placed side to win a European competition in recent times? Edit: was a remarkable run through the competition. This was in the days of it being a two-legged ...

How did Schalke get into the UEFA Cup?

Championship promotion race really hotting up Soton beat PNE 3-0 last night and now sit just 5 points behind Ipswich with a game in hand. That game in hand - Leicester (a) next Tuesday. Soton also finish the season at Leeds. Seems guaranteed that the top 4 sides will all finish with over 90 points,...

Are teams getting more points these days? I am not just talking about the Championship. I am sure 90 points used to feel like a pretty special achievement 20-30 years back, but seems to almost happen as standard nowadays (I may also just be misremembering, which I do a lot of) League 1 this year co...

9 of Palmers goals are penalties. Look at Watkins, no penalties and more assists. Villa would struggle without him. If Arsenal had him they would be out of sight now. Heard some stats the other day like that where they compared PL goalscorers by minutes per goal with penalties removed. Watkins and ...

Fwiw after that it goes to matches between the teams, and Leeds won both of those.

Winston Biscuit Semi-Automated offside technology voted in by PL clubs. Will be introduced by the end of 2024

Excellent news.

I'd like to see the 'Wenger rule' come in though to completely change what determines a player is 'offside'.

Given the last few years I'm not sure we should really be lolling at clubs with batshit mental owners seemingly intent on screwing the club into the ground. That said, £3 billion? Just how could a stadium cost that much unless you're using it for money laundering purposes? The new Riverside Stand a...

Maybe I am dismissing Southampton too easily from the equation. Just looks a point or 2 too far for me. and they have rubbish GD compared to the others. They would likely have to win their last 6 games to stand a chance, and are currently in pretty poor form winning 4 of their last 10 games. could ...

Given that they still have to play Leicester and Leeds, it's probably also noteworthy that Southampton can reach 96 points.

Watford (H)
Preston (H)
Cardiff (A)
Leicester (A)
Stoke (H)
Leeds (A)

Championship contenders all doing their best not to get promoted. Leicester lost at Millwall, Leeds could only draw 0-0 at home against Sunderland. Ipswich go top if they beat Watford tonight.

genome Phil Foden is unreal

Yeah, this is very good news for England. Can arguably add Foden to the 'world-class' bracket alongside Kane, Bellingham and (imho) Saka. Our team is getting scary good.

Sky Sports Germany now say Amorim is a done deal.

And at the other end, wait for the shitstorm if City win the title this season and only then are found guilty of various charges.

I want them to go down due to points deductions purely for the backlash. Without deductions they'd be two points from safety, with five games left. Their fixture list at least puts in their hands - they still have to play Forest, Luton and Sheffield United, albeit the latter will be relegated by th...

Everton have another 2 points deducted due to breaking PSR I want them to go down due to points deductions purely for the backlash. Without deductions they'd be two points from safety, with five games left. Their fixture list at least puts in their hands - they still have to play Forest, Luton and ...
