If we can keep most of the squad next season (debatable of course) then it’s reasonable to hope the young players will improve with the experience behind them, as will the manager. That, and the absence of the stresses this season has treated them all to, gives justifiable cause for optimism that we...
Guardiola doing his 'I am so intense' on-pitch animated thing for the cameras at full time Odd that he chose Grealish to have a go at, when I thought he was pretty good when he came on. Maybe he figures Grealish can take it whereas it might break Doku, and KDB would just tell him to fcuk off. Altho...
it's not GS' fault England got an easier route (we all want an easier route in finals) but it is his fault that they still managed to **** it up. I'm not one of his critics. He's done a bang up job. Yes England lost to the first decent team that played that tournament, but he's followed it up with ...
So if the rumours are correct and the prospective new owners are buying us as an Arbitrage play - with funds from various exotic industries (crypto/longevity biotech) - the protests continue or they stop? Do we want sugar daddies who gamble on making money (for themselves) in the prem or not? I was...
In other big news, the Gov has finally pulled its finger out and the Football Governance Bill is getting an airing on Tuesday. Too late for us, but regulator in coming. oxf*rd you PL. Just means this takeover is massive for us. If it all goes tits up for the incoming owners, we'll be protected by t...
I dunno, maybe I'm being a miserable git but I preferred punditry when it was a bit more professional. No, I for one agree with you. I don't mind a bit of fun, it's an enterainment industry after all, but Jeez, stop the fcuking giggling and banter. It's not necessary. Still, lowest common denominat...
Crazy ending to Valencia vs. Real Madrid. Ball comes into the box and the referees blew the final whistle whilst the ball is in the air, and Bellingham heads it in the back of the net. Rudiger and Bellingham both given straight red cards for protesting after the match. The referee, Gil Manzano says...
Can anyone imagine this team in October going 0-2 down in 10 minutes and finishing the half even stevens and on firmly on top? Although in October it would of been a few different players and in a woeful shape, I guess. :| Indeed. “Would of been....”. I expect better than that from you Ian! :wink:
They were bloody awful as well. Upamecano also picked up his 2nd red card in as many games. I keep half an eye on Bochum as my school was partnered with a school in Bochum and I did my A level exchange there. My exchange partner was quite a big fan of Bochum but they were away when I did my exchang...
