French Ligue 2 table toppers Paris FC are reportedly about to be taken over by a combination of Red Bull and the Arnault family, with the current owner retaining a significant minority stake. Club valued at €90M. The potential new owners have also said they want to move the club from the south of t...

Hugo Sanchez 89/90 record goal scoring season for Real Madrid, where he scored 38 league goals, were all scored with a single touch On discovering this week that RoI's manager Heimir Hallgrímsson is a qualified dentist, it seems only fair to point out that Hugo Sanchez also has a degree in Dentistr...

I'm going to +1 for the high regard for her, she's been excellent. And as for the England penalty, it obviously wasn't one, and she got that right too.

In summary, a bit of an out-of-character disaster of a thread for St P really.

Not only does Morton FC have a fantastic understanding of what makes a great kit ie blue and white hoops, if you overlook the floodlighting their ground is very strongly reminiscent of Elm Park. We're viewing this pic from the Tilehurst End with the Southbank on the distant right. Good times.

Despite constantly giving the ball away, at least early on I thought we acquitted ourselves pretty well last night. Sure Ndoye could have notched a winner on a couple of occasions late on but we also had a couple of chances we really should have put away. anyway, nice to be alive for the 3rd game I...

I think I've said it before but the BBC Scotland pundits and commentators are a cut above the usual suspects. James McFadden is excellent IMO (as is Neil McCann but he's not in Germany) and Rachel Corsie is proving that there are decent female pundits. Moyes and Hart were decent value as well. I th...

paultheroyal Even at grassroots level - there are so many bitter, twisted parents and coaches who will do anything to win or question others integrity etc.

I get your point, but this issue isn't a recent one, and it isn't limited to football.

If anyone remembers Porridge The Movie, that looks like the same venue as for the Slade Prisoners XI v Celebrity Showbiz XI

The Football Governance Bill didn't get passed prior to the wind-up of the current Parliament, so we're a but further away from any formal Regulator (and / or being made an early doors Test Case, as Roger Titford reported in the new WSC).

Norwich City's Jan Molby https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FL8gxNnXMAAHy_k.jpg He played for Norwich against us in * doesn't check * late 1995 at Carrow Road. He absolutely bossed it without, as the cliche goes, ever leaving the centre circle. He went off after an hour and they were 3-1 up. We got it bac...

Dare I say, Keys made a decent point (although it coming from him is a bit hilarious). Pundits are becoming way too matey and banter-y nowadays. It also risks comments like Carragher's that cross a line. I find all the japery a bit cringeworthy. Give me interesting analysis, not pub banter between ...

Forgot to add - I've seen Reading away to Bristol Rovers at three different venues - Eastville, Twerts and the Rec

Anyone with any similar tales of sadness?

My dad and brother went, I was only 6 and too big a crowd I expect, think it was played pre season. It was on ITV's The Big Match the next day (seen it on YouTube somewhere) we got very favourable coverage particularly from Jimmy Hill. Charlton scored I believe.

Sanguine It's going to be a long season for Darmstadt, isn't it.

They're at home to Supercalifragilisticborussiamönchengladbach on Sunday week, so we'll get a view on whether or not they're going to get any points at all this season after that one.

....Reading's last win at the Abbey (by 1-0 back in February 1994) An act of utter larceny, we were second best all match, IIRC Clive Baskerville gave Shaka 10/10 in the EP after the match and he (Shaka, not Baskerville, for clarity) stopped at least three one-on-ones when utterly isolated from the...
