Having to start this annual thread earlier than usual.

Sheffield Wednesday relegated.

45 years ago today Diego Maradona signed for Boca Juniors as a 20 years old. He had already played 5 seasons for Argentinos Juniors and was in demand everywhere, with offers from Europe and with River Plate telling him they would make him the highest paid player in Argentina if he joined them. He wa...

If Arsenal and Man City get through their next Champions League games then they meet in the QF, and they would have these 4 out of 5 consecutive fixtures against each other: 22/3 - Arsenal Vs Man City (EFL cup final) 7/4 - Man City Vs Arsenal (CL) 11/4 - Chelsea Vs Man City / Arsenal Vs Bournemouth ...

Just looking at the stats, we only had 32% possession, 6 shots and only 5 touches in the opposition box. Ffs, we are in league one and were at home, how far we have fallen.

Tuchel with a new England contract Not quite yet, he is just poised to commit to a 2 year extension. Thought there were some club sides hoping to get him after the WC so guess it’ll come down to how those proposals stack up. Any chance that the FA have put some kind of clause in there about it bein...
