IF RFC has put forward the offer of putting £6M into Escrow, and if that's the only thing holding up the sale to Platek, then where is the issue for Mr Couhig? After his media round following last Friday, he said he was not a blocker to the sale of RFC; if thats the case, then what stops him from a...

In the same group as Iran, Uzbekistan need one win from their last two games, one of which is away to third placed UAE, to qualify for their first World Cup.

Must admit - as I've only dipped in to the detail on occasion, that I'd missed that we are subject to suspension from the EFL in just eight days. :o If the club can convince the EFL that the sales process is progressing it won`t happen. If Couhig rejects the new proposal, are we confident that we c...

I really love the optimism, but I find the notion that Royals City Town Flyers FC gets crowds of 4,000 quite funny. Maybe that's my pessimism, but I see two things. One my general view, that whilst we have loyal fans we don't have a particularly 'passionate' support base, I think a phoenix club woul...

Please let Harry Kane win something.

Bayern have lost Dayot Upamecano and Alphonso Davies for several months after both suffered knee injuries on international duty.

Absorbing how awful Italy's recent World Cup record has been. Missed the last two tournaments, and a combined one victory in two Group Stage exits previous to that. The World Cup win in 2006 is the only instance of Italy winning a knockout game at the finals since 1998. :shock: Italy will surely mak...

Whilst it is basically impossible for Brazil not to qualify for the World Cup, they are totally screwing up their qualification fixtures. Currently 4th in CONMEBOL and a point above Colombia in 6th. They have lost five of their 14 games so far, including in 4-1 Argentina last night. I don't know muc...

Talksport just a stream of scousers saying TAA is a disgrace and is never welcome back at Anfield or the city again :lol: Obviously some reactions pretty extreme - but I can understand the frustration with the way TAA has dealt with this. By all means express a desire to leave the club, privately -...

Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein two of a number of journalists with the 'official' news that Trent Alexander Arnold's team is in negotiations with Real Madrid, with 'all parties confident that a deal will be done'. Probably one of the worst kept secrets in football - but looks like it is now mos...

I think there's a great deal of revisionism there Rothers. If your reference is last year's Euros, then fair enough, but Southgate's teams went through a number of different iterations, and it wasn't all dull, turgid stuff. It's of note that Capello's side is the only England team to (marginally) sc...

The slightly pointless OFC route is done. New Zealand, shockingly, the victors. They entered in the second round, and wins over Tahiti (3-0), Vanuatu (8-1) and Samoa (8-0), put them into the semi-finals. They beat Fiji 7-0, setting up a final with New Caledonia, which they won 3-0. The seeding does ...

'Run if you hate Dai Yongge'.

Appreciated this sign held by someone at the bottom of the road up to the Stadium yesterday, at the Half Marathon.

Non-goals Harry Kane stat - his appearance against Albania was his 104th cap, which takes him into the top-10 all-time for England. If he plays every match he'll be fifth on 109 when Wales visit in October, and will surely comfortably go past Shilton's record in the next couple of years. Also - Marc...

Am I remembering Linvoy Primus through rose-tinted glasses? In my mind he was a solid brick wall of a centre-back.

One for the Old Timey thread really, but its weird to think Andy Cole made a league appearance for Arsenal in 1990 in their title winning season Yeah, he's one of those players that transcends generations, 89-90 seems way too early for him. See also Jamie Redknapp, who made his Bournemouth debut ju...

Wdowcyck! :shock: how could I forget our sexy Polish legend I arrived just too late at the party for Dariusz. I saw him play once - as a sub in our 3-3 draw at home to Crewe early in 97/98. I'd started coming to Elm Park during the season before. Transfermarkt says he was 'not in the squad' for muc...

Winston Biscuit Chelsea sign 17 year old Sporting Lisbon winger Geovany Quenda on a 7 year contract for an initial fee of €50M.

Staying at sporting for the next 18 month though

17 years and 95 days old. €50m. Chelsea, again. It's all broken, isn't it?
