Thought we were decent in the first half, dominated the game and didn't really give them a sniff. They obviously got an absolute bollocking at half time and we didn't react - was like watching Reading over the last couple of seasons. Bellingham, Rice, Saka, Walker, Pickford, Stones and Guéhi all de...

Same old in the end. When the opposition changes things, he just can’t respond to get control back. And this too I don’t like the pile ones on Southgate. It’s cheap and nasty stuff and he’s transformed us from a laughing stock to a strong competitor at major tournaments However tactically he leaves...

Halftime My Serbian workmate texted me saying “England don’t need a goalkeeper” I replied “yes we do, who else would we pass it back to” 86 minutes in ….. and Standard England Quite More and more I watch football at the “elite” level, the more I’m glad Reading are further away from it in a strange ...

Think Solanke is rather unfortunate not to get a call up. Toney and Watkins are decent players but I personally don’t see them as difference makers off the bench (assuming Kane doesn’t get injured) whereas I could see Solanke making more of an impact Beating the same drum but again, Sterling would h...

NathStPaul Good move for Poch and United. He is superior to ETH in every way.

Except trophies won, of course

Kelly (and Norwood for good measure) were both decent players but it’s about integrating them into the right system which is where they both struggled to an extent. Wouldn’t call them one dimensional as such but certainly wouldn’t describe them as all rounder players Partnering Norwood with Williams...

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 e...

West Ham were really poor. Game was over before it begun lining up in a midfield two with Ward Prowse and Soucek. No legs there and no surprise Foden scored two in that area in the first 20

leon Fcuk me Man City are tedious to watch

Finally found someone to agree with me!

Klopp is going to be a huge miss in this league from a competitive and charismatic point of view even if he liked a whinge!

I'm on record as one of Southgate's biggest supporters - but his selections in recent times have become more and more frustrating. Maybe summed up by the fact that James Tarkowski - ranked first in the PL for aeriel duels won and blocked shots, and second in clearances, playing for the best defence...

Like many, not a fan of Leeds but actually glad they’ve trounced Norwich. The lack of any intent to win the first leg from them was really poor and it’s all they deserve Not the first time the Norwich manager has set up his team like this in a playoff campaign mind. Just a shame the manager he came ...

YorkshireRoyal99 Whoever said Aston Villa might be a candidate for the top 4 this season doesn't watch football correctly.

Franchise FC

LUX Two ex Royals at the Hawthorns (ok, one on the bench).

It’s 3
Lumley is on the Southampton bench

It’s 4

Chalobah was on the West Brom bench

Norwich Leeds... Genuinely horrific match this. Properly flaccid semi. I can only assume Norwich are expecting to win away … or have settled for the Championship rather than PL relegation next season It’s like all four teams just settled for a 0-0 although the West Brom game had a bit of action I s...

feels a bit like Charlton under Curbishley. Amazing success and all of a sudden the fans thought it wasn't enough and demanded more. Hello 3rd tier football! also I have been laughing a bit at some euro football podcasts who have basically said this week that Lopetegui is the Spanish Moyes. He is s...

No, of coursehe isn’t a genius. He hasn’t brought any spectacular new innovations to football, or out thought his opposition. He's been bankrolled to success and built a reputation that allows him to manage huge egos successfully. Not a Pep fan but not sure I agree Tactically, his understanding of ...

Understand Moyes’s football isn’t always the most eye catching and he’s made some strange decisions this season but West Ham fans should be ashamed at how they’ve hounded him out. Not just the fans but also the way the board are going about it. Utterly classless. Sincerely doubt any new manager wil...

Aluko getting the last laugh with Ipswich Aluko + a manager/coach who knows what he's doing rather than Aluko + a chain of complete failures without a clue between them. He knew what he was doing by giving Aluko one 88th minute appearance from the bench this season, Still - it dispels some of the n...

LOL. They are so pathetic. ETH masterclass again. No fit CB's (Evans clearly not 100%), no CDM, no left back, no Bruno I knew we were getting dicked in this game This was the case at Christmas. He could have bought a centre back, he could have developed an under 23's centre back. He's not a very go...

Ten Hag wasn’t wrong when he said they were an entertaining team!
