my brother lives up there and goes and watches them (when RFC are not playing locally). He says we should sign Stockton.

Srsly, why don't we?

Marc McNulty.

Barbara Streisand

Her nose would be offside to often, also lacks pace.

[South Coast Royal]

Good point.
I am always amazed at how much credit is given to managers who make successful substitutions-why the fcuk didn't you start with those players?

In this case I don't think anybody was expecting Kalvin Phillips to start in a back three were they? Conte could have switched tactics/formation during the first half but maybe getting to half time and having 10mins to explain what he wanted to change was the better option. If they'd gone 2 down in the first half I'm sure he'd have changed it straight away.

Yes, there are clearly cases where it does work but I still think that they generally get too much credit for changing a team that they considered the best to start the game.

Conte is a top manager but time will tell if the airy-fairy Spurs players will fully buy in to his methods-they didn't with Mourinho nor Nuno
Eventually they didn't with Pochettino so maybe they just don't play for coaches with names ending in "o" and more so with Nuno who had 3 of them.

spent most of his career in L2 & L1 and up until last year the most league goals he had scored in a season was 5

Yeah, odd one. Up to the start of the 19-20 season, he had 33 league goals in 218 games, since when he has 25 in 57.

Should obviously be cancelled anyway. He left Hearts in 2018, a month after going to a xmas party in blackface, about five years after 'oh, I didn't know it was offensive' stopped being a (rubbish) excuse.

12 goals this season, in League One.

In a side which is just above the relegation zone.

I'd be in favour of giving him a chance.

'Disturbance' in the crowd at Hillsborough leads to a 10 minute stoppage and the players being taken off

Fans fighting apparently

[Franchise FC]

My God there’s been some turgid football on to today.

Arsenal v Newcastle
England v Austria women (had that on my iPad)
And now Brighton v Leeds (first half at least)

What have I done to deserve this ?

[Hendo]

Don’t think Brighton v Leeds has been too bad, horrifically one sided though. Leeds have been shocking and there is no surprise to see their LB being subbed at HT who looked like he’d won a competition to be out there.

[Winston Biscuit]

Quite like the idea of Leeds going down, but them winning tonight wouldn't half make Newcastle's situation look comically bad

[AthleticoSpizz]

Yeah, lol at Newcastles relegation, but just look at next seasons top place already being bought....one less promotion place for us......etc and lol etc

Despite the cash, can’t see many really top players joining them in the Chump. Be funny if they fell foul of FFP in the EFL despite the wealth

[AthleticoSpizz]

Well.....that’s how it works isn’t it?


(apart from the Man Cities etc of course)

Sadly, they’d have to be in the Chump for 3 years to ‘qualify’ and I don’t think any of us think that

[AthleticoSpizz]

Glass ceilings and all that

[URZZZZ]

Really is looking like some intriguing battles in the Prem this season

Title race looks like it’ll be neck and neck between top three. You’d expect Tottenham under Conte and United to improve, and with Arsenal and West Ham in the mix, there’ll be a good battle for 4th spot

Relegation spots also seem quite open which wasn’t the case earlier on in the season. Even Norwich may have a chance

That has to be the best ever thing on sky sports I feel I've ever seen

Keane and Carra going mental at each other whilst JFH just sits there awkwardly grinning
