Stranded Deal will be tied up end of next week and they'll announce it on the UK BH Monday.

What's the betting we'll all still be waiting by the time the new season's fixtures are released?

Stranded

Franchise FC

Stranded One more crossed off the list for Leverkusen.

3 to go.

Another two very late goals to sneak this one ….. er, 5-0

Second away game in a row that they have hit 5.

Great to know Alonso will more than likely be off to Real Madrid in 12 months

Didn't someone seriously post on "The Team" a couple of weeks ago "Shall we lose to Blackpoll to stop Poxford getting into the play-offs"? Also pathetic tbf If Spurs weren't so small time they'd be moaning about the fact that they should be challenging City for the title, not ho...

Stranded BTW if any of you lot are travelling over here and heading to Frankfurt for any of the games and want a local view on where to go, what to do if you are spending any time here beyond the game itself - feel free to drop me a PM.

Would you prefer a Teresa, a Rishi or a Boris?

Seen a few articles blowing smoke up Spurs' arse because their U21s topped the league. I know I'm biased but surely the real story is the cash strapped League 1 team who are now in the semis and are offering a genuine path to 1st team football. Doesn't fit the narrative of being a big club that eve...

United won’t want City to win the league so will lay down and die for Arsenal Spurs won’t want Arsenal to win the league … the same Integrity of the competition, my arse :lol: :lol: So, forgetting all that, how many do we think Arsenal will get this afternoon First few minutes looks like it’s just ...

Spurs v Liverpool today, winners to take on Chelsea.

Sunderlad v West Ham at 7pm on Monday 13 May. Winners to visit Reading in the semi final. Think we'd much prefer Sunderland over West Ham given West Ham finished 2nd in the normal league while Sunderland finished a place below Reading.

Franchise 1 - 5 Crawley :lol: Crawley will now meet Crewe in the PO final. Shame in some ways as franchise play the same god awful Velcro/Stamball with plenty of stupid go nowhere sideways shambolic passing about in front of their own keeper that Reading did. Liam Kelly could be back next season aft...

Well we need a big club to go under as it might wake the rest of the idiots up

Winston Biscuit Things the neutrals are hoping for next season:

West Ham relegation
Hull relegation
Ipswich to stay up

and Reading promotion.

And yet someone did compete with them Annoying thing is that well run and managed clubs can cause a surprise but it is always a "surprise" and no one's ever interested in following that model (they just sort of fall over it by accident) look at the Hull idiots, seem to have started that r...

There is simply no better footballing entertainment about at the moment than Leverkusen - it is frankly incredible to watch. When they got back to 2-1 last night, you could see the team collectively decided that they would rather risk losing 3-1 on the night (and going to ET) in order to try and st...

This. Leicester, Leeds and Southampton would probably have the highest budgets in the Championship if no side had parachute payments - giving them PP completely destroys any chance of sides competing with them financially. And yet someone did compete with them Annoying thing is that well run and ma...

Bayern didnt lose that because Tuchel took off Kane. They lost because Neuer lost concentration and spilled the ball. If he scoops that like normal, another long punt up front and another chance for defence to be reset. The shot from Madrid that led to the 1st goal was a sign of a team resorting to...

genome Tuchel is an idiot. You don't take off the best striker in the world with 10 minutes to go in a CL Semi, even if you are winning

Think Haaland might disagree there esp. as he's actually won things.

Hound

Elm Park Kid I'm expecting Jahmari to be released.

Has another year I think

Another season not involved much with the 1st team will see the end of his time at Reading.

Wasn't Emerse Fae a record signing at the time? I could (and am most likely wrong). He again was hit and miss, some really strong games, but mostly powderpuff. Yep, but he was a last resort. Sidwell was gone and we knew that was happening, but all the players we had lined up to replace him (e.g. Sc...

My original post was more about the reaction of Everton fans and how I'd heard the same arguments about us for about 5 years. I think they've got their heads in the sand. They need to trim their wage bill and I think they will struggle to recruit adequate quality next season because they will be la...

Not saddened by the loss of Mola or Carson but worried that there is now no cover at LB so will be interesting to see which free options pass through the club in the summer.

Which Azeez has had his contract extended though?

Crawley played well and won their delayed first leg 3-0, with Liam Kelly getting the MOTM award. Crawley’s goalkeeper had some interesting ideas! Now, as long as they don't approach the 2nd leg thinking they've already won through, we should all be able to appreciate the dumping out of the franchise.
