Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (a)

Very good performance and a well deserved win. They had a few chances but so did we and it could well have been something like 5-2. Mbengue was his usual mixture of giving the ball away, playing some well directed long balls and making a few tackles. He looks to be injured in every game and makes sp...

Re: England - the future....

This might be controversial but I don't see our striker choice as an either / or, Kane or Watkins. Given the mobility we have available, especially but not exclusively in wide areas, a more mobile version of Kane at his peak would fit the bill - able to bring the other forward players into play, bu...

Re: Changes In Football thread

Premier League clubs agree "a new in-house media operations business" "Launching for the start of Season 2026/27, the Premier League will bring all international media content production and distribution in-house." Whatever that means. Probably more money to be made by the Premi...

Re: England - the future....

Reluctant agreed. BTW @ Sanguine, I like watching Grealish play, of course he is a talent, but I’d say he is quite far down the England pecking order now. We have some very exciting young players at the moment. Another agreed. 2 years in football is quite a long time and Kane might still be able to...

Re: Rival Watch

Jackson Corner How did we lose 4-1 at Stockport? Credit to Wycombe that is one hell of a result.


Because Stockport showed that to be a one-off by today beating Wrexham in a comfortable 1-0 win and winning themselves the other day 5-0.

Re: Bindon to be sold

Surfaced today Bindon off in January for 9M to un-named buyer. If true it would be a shame but this is how we have to operate moving forward. 9M is a big figure and will let us sustain the academy and our safety for at least 2/3 seasons. Would be nice to have a percentage of future sales thrown in ...

Re: England - the future....

I didn't see the 2nd half as decided to go for the cricket. We looked pretty good from what I saw and generally more mobile everywhere. Was there any discussion about Kane's absence allowing a more dynamic flow as there wasn't the need to wait for the striker to catch up from a deep lying position?...

Will Ben White come back into England’s plans under Tuchel or is/should he be binned off after his “not wanting to be involved”? No,no,no. at least thrice no. "I don't want to have to sit around in a foreign country just hoping to get a game, I'm going home" doesn't go down too well and d...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Newport County (h)

To be fair, if, and I accept that's a big if, but if we got to the final we could take 30,000+ to Wembley and that would be a decent pay day. Do you really think that would happen if we played somebody like Morecambe or Crewe? Are we that desperate for minor glory? This isn't like the Simod Cup whe...

Re: Refereeing

Sanguine Oliver was on the on-field referee for the Pickford 'tackle', but Coote was VAR.


Fair enough-I'll just hate Oliver a little bit less now and Coote a bit more.

Re: England - the future....

With the news that Ollie Watkins will start ahead of Kane in a must-win Nations League game tonight, I for one can't wait for Lee Carsley and his 'experiments' to fcuk off, tbh. In fairness, they were saying that it might be because of Kane's fitness rather than an experiment. I know that progressi...

Re: When Reading became immortal

A very uplifting read for these dire and uncertain times.
One very small criticism-Murty hardly cost "pennies" but was nearer £750,000.

Not sure about the correct wording of the chant but 106 is sung about at every game.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Newport County (h)

I was brought up on Div3 and Div4 football but I think we should look to take every opportunity available to us. I don't think we're above any level of ambition because we are where we are; a League 1 team on its arse with fcuk all money and a young squad that could walk for peanuts or, in other wo...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Newport County (h)

So we should sneer at the chance if a reasonable payday because it's not as "glamorous" as an alternative, less likely one? No sneering , just don't think we have sunk that low that ANY bit of small time glory would attract as many as 30,000. For money, have a real go in the proper compet...

I've a few thoughts on this. Firstly, he has brought the game into disrepute - but only by videoing it. It would have been the same had he tweeted "I hate Klopp, he's a nonce". Secondly, I think people are really naieve and frankly a bit stupid, if they think that refs - who are humans be...

Re: Weekend Football

It didn't prevent a goal-scoring opportunity though, you scored! But it did prevent Salah's goal scoring opportunity. IMHO it is a foul and a sending off but that c**t Coote didn't bother, not even a yellow. I don't think your opponent can score a goal and you be sent off for denying a goal-scoring...

I don't have an issue with what Coote said 4 years ago even if it was a bit daft.
