Dele-Bash looked good for Wednesday last night. Very impressed with Wednesday and deserved winners against Toon,.

Royal_jimmy I hope the club take at least a 6k allocation so everyone who wants a ticket can get one

Current FA regulations state 15% of capacity up to a maximum of 9,000.

That will do nicely!

How many players have "completed the set"? Domestic League and Cup, Champions League, regional national tournament and World Cup? If you take the European Cup as the equal of the Champions League, then Franz Beckenbauer has won the lot plus the World Club Cup with Bayern. He also managed ...

My World Cup XI: Livakovic (Cro) Hakimi (Mor) Varane (Fra) Gvardiol (Cro) T. Hernandez (Fra) Bellingham (Eng) Amrabat (Mor) Griezmann (Fra) Messi (Arg) Giroud (Fra) Mbappe (Fra) Alternative XI: Amrabat (Mor) Amrabat (Mor) Amrabat (Mor) Amrabat (Mor) Amrabat (Mor) Amrabat (Mor) Amrabat (Mor) Amrabat ...

Visiting the US and watched the semi-finals easy enough on Fox Sports. Local mouth-breathing radio jock seriously believed that Fox Sports negotiated with FIFA an early kick off to the World Cup final (9:00 ET) on Sunday so that it does not impact on scheduled NFL games. Total weapon.

Brilliant group stage and no single group winner won all three games. My group stage first XI: Pickford (Eng) Dest (USA) Souttar (Aus) Yoshida (Jap) Hernandez (Fra) Bellingham (Eng) Xhaka (Swi) Griezmann (Fra) Dembele (Fra) Gakpo (Ned) Mbappe (Fra) Casemiro and Richarlison from Brazil maybe. Could a...

Fantastic last moments. Last group games kicking off at same time scenes make for compelling viewing but the FIFA maifioso totally shit all over this perfect setup (thanks Germany and Austria circa 1982) by introducing 16 groups of three for a 48-team World Cup in 2026. Cu nts.

Was impressed with France last night, then again, I think most top nations would look good against Australia with all due respect. France do look solid everywhere, maybe just a lack of experience at the back without Varane and in midfield might be where they come up trumps against someone. I though...

You have to admire Morocco for their persistence. How many bids is it now? I think a Morocco/Algeria joint bid would be a winner.

Winner? Argentina
Top goalscorer? Lautaro Martinez
Dark horse? Netherlands
Big team to go home early? Germany
Small team to get further than we all think? Senegal although Serbia is a good shout
How far will England (and Wales if you like) go? QFs for England/Wales out at group stage

1966 and the wonderful Hungarian team. HIghlight was the 3-1 defeat of Brazil and this superb goal by Farkas: https://youtu.be/v5QFC2bU_Ss 1970 and the Pele dummy vs Uruguay in the semi-final. Despite the fact that Pele eventually missed (thank God for that because it proved he actually was human), ...

Between April 1933 and January 1936, Reading went 55 home league games unbeaten, which was an English league record for a period of 32 years before Millwall surpassed it in 1967. #FortressElmPark.

Enjoyed today and the second goal was a classic injury-time clincher. Brilliant play from Longy, who muscled off the defender like a broken toy. Thought Hendrick was immense in the second haf, as was Loum (LOUM!). Would really prefer to see NGW in place of Baba. Apart from that, a good, comfortable ...

Enjoyed that. After a passive start I thought we really got at them and were unlucky to go in at half time just level - a superb save from Krul to deny Andy Carroll. Norwich will surely get promotion, but we managed to keep Pukki quiet all night and restricted them to just the one shot on target - u...

A great last induction event and a good turn out despite the M4 chaos. Good to see Lawrie Sanchez, Les Chappell, Mark McGhee, Ron Grant, and George Harris's widow there in person to receive their awards and a nice video link with Dylan Kerr, who obviously still has a soft spot for the club. Due to t...

Absolutely brilliant performance. We were at it right from the off: in their faces, aggressive, high presses, quick transitions. Some of the stuff we played in the first half was a delight and we could have have been three up by half time. I saw enough of Loum from the Stevenage game to know that he...

Millie Bright was superb. A real presence and composed on the ball.

Good start for England against an awkward Austria.

Lovely little pavilion at Cathkin Park. Was a feature of some early Scottish grounds and some built by the famous stadium architect Archibald Leach.

I would also re-sign Lita :shock: He played like he does not do friendlies. Best moment was Sonks' massive hoof into Y26. :D :D :D Also, he looked exactly the same as his playing days. What a beast; and Curo is the Benjamin Button of football. Brilliant day out and there was definitely not a tear in...
