Re: World Cup 2026

Clearly it's going to take a while for Tuchel to get his message across. Those who played under Southgate are still suffering from the suffocation his era imposed on them. And seeing how everyone else plays it then has the same impact on the newbies. Lewis Skelly has been lauded for good performance...

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

Delap is the value.

Isak would (as I’ve been saying for years) be a perfect fit for Arsenal but they missed the boat and won’t be paying £150m for him.

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 24/25

Penalty being VARred, and then disallowed, when the next penalty taker is ready to take theirs. Seemed odd. Also couldn't see his standing leg touch it on the brief replay on TNT Sport. I don't think it did before he struck it. His standing foot slipped so I suppose he may have hit it onto his stan...

Hugely impressed with PSG, Allisson and Liverpool’s luck and resilience in the face of being completely outclassed.

Re: CONFIMRED - This might be it!!

How much does the Cat 1 cost us? How much are the wages of the players that come into the 1st Team via the Academy (compared to signings from elsewhere)? How much profit do we make when we sell an Academy player (compared to signings from elsewhere)? Of course smart business CAN be done with astute ...

WestYorksRoyal Cutting your academy to fund the 1st team is a bad decision of Dai proportions.

Nunez and Werner have provided a lot of laughs over the last couple of years. It’ll be a shame to lose them.

Re: We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

United for the cup then with luck like that. What I don’t understand though is why VAR is not being used until later in the competition. If the home club has the technology then it should be used. Does the same apply to goal line technology? It should either be used everywhere, or not at all. Other...

Re: Should drinking in the stands be allowed back in football?

The more I ponder it, the more I realise how pathetic football tribalism is I've been saying this for 20 years on here. The hatred of another football club is, and always has been, pretty pathetic and a bit weird. Such expressions of hatred used to be a very common thing on here, not so much these ...

Re: Weekend Football

Nwaneri will have to learn that the purpose of being winger at Arsenal is to win corners, not to get crosses in to create goal scoring chances - what would the point be in doing that, there’s never anybody there? Corners are the BEST chance of scoring goals after all. So remember young ‘un, if you D...

Re: Weekend Football

Personally, I'd be more confident of Forest NOT making CL than Liverpool winning the title. Liverpool have been brilliant for large parts of the 1st half of the season, whereas Arsenal have been rather underwhelming - yet they sit only 4 points behind, are (maybe) about to sign a much-needed striker...

Re: SpuROFLs

I am not sure the problem is all that much deeper is it? Kane leaving was a big blow but every club loses their best player from time to time, and they knew it was coming and spend good money on trying to replace him, and the squad in other areas. I can't help but think their problem is really not ...

Re: SpuROFLs

Apart from being slow getting rid of the ball last night, which was entertaining, I think Kinsky has looked very good in his 3 games.

Should probably have done better but he was a bit unfortunate with the goal as the ball took a wee jump off the turf.
