So, what are your guesses for the final England Euros squad? My 26 man squad suggestion: Keepers ⋅ Pickford ⋅ Henderson, D ⋅ Ramsdale Defenders ⋅ Maguire ⋅ Stones ⋅ Walker ⋅ Trippier ⋅ Konsa ⋅ Guehi ⋅&nbs...

Will 94 year old Stuart Hall get released under Sunak's early release scheme so that he can present FA Cup final It's A Knockout?

And stop Reading FC too. Really doesn't help us having Bolton in L1 next year. Don't think we are in serious contention anyway, unless we make some clever signings. Playoff form for most of the year, top 5 attendances - an extremely young squad comprising some of the best U21s in the country. We're...

South Coast Royal I suppose the fact that one of the Chiron blokes was previously involved with Charlton should speed up the process for good or bad .

Malcolm Rifkind isn't it?

No IIRC, he was an MP but it is a Rifkind.

I am only going by what my mate says and he doesn't expect him to be there next season
.
It seems as though Ziyech has done well after not getting the transfer away that he wanted.

Lyon's first 14 games of the season https://i.ibb.co/fMKDY29/GOAr-Ih8-XAAAOXUC.jpg Pierre Sage then takes over as manager.

No need for VAR IMO. Referees should be able to use the years of training and experience they’ve accrued to make better decisions. It’s a tough gig but they’re supposed to be the elite referees We don’t let strikers re-take one on ones if they miss or goalkeepers have another chance if they let an ...

My reading of this was that it was intended to be used as they do in cricket, when a team goes up to the 3rd umpire; they have a certain number of reviews which they use when they think a mistake has been made. If they were right, they keep that review; if wrong, they lose it. If they use up all of...

From Despair To Where? Lol. I'm hardly taking about hospital visits but you knew that.

If I were a child I wouldn't want Pickford to come and visit me in Alder Hey.

BTW do catholic priests still get in free at Goodison?

Sigh, I wasn't talking local people supporting Liverpool, clearly they are in the majority by virtue of their success, and I know more Liverpool fans than Everton fans, I was talking about the clubs and their engagement with the local community over and above just being the local football club. Eve...

If I'm honest, that's not my experience of Everton fans at all. They know Liverpool are the bigger and more successful club and they judge success very much on their own terms and, yes, they are proud of their club's engagement within the community. There's banter in the run up to the derby but the...

got to ask, Vic: Liverpool or RFC? It is a long story that I took the trouble to post once on here before. Because the two clubs were always in different divisions any question of split loyalty never arose but on the night of March 11th 1970 I had travelled down to Southampton for a job interview ,...

I love that the agent had the cojones to send an unsolicited invoice for £800,000 without a formal contract in place. And he seemed genuinely surprised when we didn't pay it I too would like to try my luck invoicing random companies for ~1 million pounds, you never know :lol: :lol: There was (and p...

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 ...

Newbie interloper. :wink: My experience of the area spans over 60 years. Wasn't it the late, great Bessie Braddock who said something about people of Liverpool always wanting to get away......and you have done the opposite. BTW Everton were always the big spenders and thought to be the more glamoro...

I don't support either team I just go by my observations and experiences from living in the area for nearly a decade. Newbie interloper. :wink: My experience of the area spans over 60 years. Wasn't it the late, great Bessie Braddock who said something about people of Liverpool always wanting to get...

We can't just do a Brexit and get rid of it when everybody else uses it and it will be used in European Club competitions as well as Euros and World Cups I genuinely don't understand why not Because football is a worldwide game? Should we perhaps make the goal bigger so that we see more goals or wi...

Feels very shortsighted to me, just getting rid. They just need to vote or putting strict rules in place on how/when it can be used and even applying a time limit i.e. if you spot nothing obvous in 30 secs, the decision stays as it was given on the pitch. Removing it will just see PL clubs playing ...
