Re: Football stats

Jonny Evans' departure means that next season will be the first at Manchester United since 1973-74 without a player who played for the club under Alex Ferguson. :? Ferguson didn’t join Man Utd until 1985. Yeh, and there were players from 73-74 onwards who were still there when he joined. Well, one ...

Re: ArsenaLOL

genome Tottenham European trophies: 3
Arsenal European trophies: 0

I hate to break into my self-imposed exile, but do the Fairs Cup and Cup Winners Cup not count.
In one case Arsenal even had to win something to qualify for the tournament

Still leaves them a trophy down :wink:

Re: On This Day

I was there too, behind the Tilehurst end goal where it was scored ( Franchise- where is he these days? - and Carnaby’s Whiskers were with me). Description above correct, but I would say he was more central than “ towards the left touchline”. FFC is so fed up with the ongoing shitstorm that is the ...

Re: VAR

Little Stewie Atwell excelling at the Rumbelows Cup final yesterday. First saying nothing to see here when Trippier knocked the ball out of Diaz's path with his hand, it would have been the softest penalty ever but once you have VAR how don't you see it? But then his meisterwerk came after Chiesa's...

Re: Injury watch 2024/25

Now I'm not sure, but aren't our current full back options: RB: Yiadom, Abrefa, Ryan LB: Dorsett, Ryan. So we only have one fit fullback and he's played how many senior minutes? And he’s going to play at both left and right fullback :shock: plus Dorsett is a primarily centre back :lol: Can this Joe...

Re: Rival Watch

Birmingham's (rumoured) spend is now at £10 million this summer. And that includes a low-ish fee for Alfie May who will almost certainly have needed a massive wage to join. I suppose it'll probably work, but it has got more than a bit of 'financial oblivion in two years' about it. It seems they’ve ...

Re: The generic transfer thread

Shame on anyone thinking this has anything to do with City Group owning Girona (club he was on loan to) Maybe one for the bemused thread, but how does being on loan at a club, however related, make it dodgy ? Girona didn’t hold his registration and didn’t sell him nor, as far as I can tell, have th...

Re: The footballer gets arrested thread

Isn’t insulting based on nationality xenophobic rather than racist ? That’s a genuine question, by the way Not when the chant specifically references black players of African descent. As an aside, the chant was also transphobic. I was asking a more general question than specifically about this inci...

Re: Who would you like to see replace Gareth Southgate?

Really just want someone who has some clue tactically and prepares sides properly, unlike the last incumbent and his poor organisation when it matters most. He was so ridiculously bad at all those things that he only managed 1 QF, 1 SF and 2 finals In two of those we lost to arguably the best team ...

Re: England Vs. Spain

Is there any substance to your "most likely to score in the 75-90 minutes"? I know that England scored some late goals but in football generally is this a fact or just a feeling, bearing in mind that after 75 minutes more often than not means around another further 20 minutes or so.? Inci...
