changes for everyone just to satisfy 'the big 6'

I do sometimes wonder whether commentators are a bit dumb, or just stick to narratives because it makes their life easier bit of both imo. Same as when someone takes a pen that goes in and the replay shows it went at a very convenient height for a keeper and not that far to his side, but the keeper...

last nights penalty shoot out was also a nice little reminder of players who score the winning penalty then run around celebrating making it all about themselves, completely ignoring the goalkeeper who's saves actually won it for you

genome Bernardo Silva's penalty might be one of the worst ones I've ever seen

They are taken like that all the time though, and as long as the keeper dives then the commentators are telling us what a cool character the penalty taker is.

City out

What's happened to Rodri's eyebrows?!

The form of Nacho has really dipped

Couldn't help but make puns on Nacho if I was commentating

Loafer When was last time we had no English teams in the cl Semis? Must have been ages right?

La Liga very close to losing 2nd spot (to Serie A) in the UEFA Country Coefficient. They've been in the top 2 leagues for the past 26 years

I like to think he left Stevenage by running out the training ground and down the road while having to hoick his trousers up to stop them falling down

What year did they reckon the charges might actually get to be heard? If the charges are PSR related then it will be heard relatively q...

Mbappe losing the final to Real Madrid in his last game for PSG before he joins Real Madrid

They won it that season so qualified to be in it again the next

The Football League was formed on this day in 1888 at The Royal Hotel in Manchester

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 cou...

Germany in 96/97, where 13 of the 15 clubs not relegated qualified for Europe(but Monchengladbach rejected the chance to play in the Intertoto cup so only 12 actually took part)

If anyone is interested then its well worth listening back to the podcast from yesterday called Outspoken With White & Jordan which is just a kind of highlights thing of their daily talksport show. They had an FFP specialist on talking about Chelsea. He explained this whole thing around them sel...

PL top goalscorer. Cole has an extra game than the rest left to play too Screenshot from 2024-04-16 09-43-00.png 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 th...

After a really poor season struggling in the bottom half, Doncaster have won 10 of the last 12 (including 8 straight wins) and have a great chance of finishing in the play offs!
