    The Euro 2024 Thread

    It was before Spain became great actually, back when they were perennial under-achievers. Eriksson was in charge for 3 tournaments: - World Cup 2002: Qualified by a whisker thanks to that Beckham free kick against Greece and then looked good in the finals, losing to eventual winners Brazil in...

    The Euro 2024 Thread

    Can't agree with that Saint. They had a better side under Eriksson and Southgate has done consistently better at tournaments then he ever did.

    24/25 Away Days

    I only realised the other day that ex-Disney boss Michael Eisner and his family own Portsmouth these days. Bonkers.

    Season 23/24 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City v Millwall FC | The EFL Championship

    That's a confusing line-up. If you're going to bring in some players who have hardly featured recently, why would you pick players who are not going to be here next season? What possible benefit for the future is there in playing Humphreys and Patino ahead of Lissah and Abdulai for example?

    Referee assistant punched

    Shocking stuff. Local referees and linesmen have been talking for years about the abuse and occasionally physical violence they are on the receiving end of. I doubt VAR has much to do with it, possibly it's made it slightly worse at most.

    A reflection on the season-Duff and Williams.

    Where we should be achieving more is in the transfer market. When you look at the amount of players brought in since we got relegated, and the amount of money spent on them, it does make you wonder what might have been if we had a coherent strategy and competent recruitment team. Instead we've...

    Work in the summer

    No problem, there definitely was a big turnover of players that summer. A fair few in the January too. Possibly left us with a stronger squad overall and Martin could do nothing with it, which is a pretty damning indictment of his management skills.

    Work in the summer

    Yep, Andrew talking about good yarns: - Hourihane was not good for us. - Routledge played in only 16 Championship games the season before and was 36 years old by that summer. - Dhanda was a fringe player at best. - Whittaker had barely played under Cooper and Martin clearly didn't rate him. -...

    A reflection on the season-Duff and Williams.

    The pattern is that he changes his tactics/style of play and gets results, then eventually resorts to his preferred method of football and results inevitably decline. I'm not positive, but I think it's unusual also for a manager to have such odd runs of results. Most teams fluctuate, yet...

    A reflection on the season-Duff and Williams.

    I'm sure Martin's biggest fans would make the counter-argument that he motivated a poor squad who couldn't win a game for months to put in a great late season run and almost sneak into the playoffs. It's useful to look at how his Southampton team have done this season for comparison. Although...

    Leeds, Leeds are falling apart again 😂

    2-2 now and you were right that Ipswich will do well to get a point here. Huddersfield are all but relegated though, so that should be 3 points for Ipswich surely. Just need something against Coventry who have nothing to play for and look cooked after their FA Cup heartbreak. My dream scenario...

    Sam Parker

    You could turn it the other way and say it's great that he's got the confidence to back himself. A young player less confident they'll make it in this highly competitive sport might leap at the chance to get a longer contract and earn more money before they drop down the divisions in search of a...

    Players' awards evening (1st May)

    I've always thought that Grimes was one of those central midfield players who quietly ticks along when in a strong team, giving consistent 7 out of 10 performances while doing all the little things that help the better players alongside him tick. Unfortunately his limitations are exposed when...

    Bloody hell

    The attitude of the police/law is what confuses me here. If I pick up something in a store and try to walk out without paying for it, I've shoplifted and broken the law. If caught, I can expect some form of punishment (official warning, being charged, etc). However, you can run up a bill of...

    Forest Not Happy

    I would tend to agree, although it is ironic that the big club (Man United) had a far softer penalty decision go against them yesterday. No one (except United fans) cares because we all wanted Coventry to win, but it was extremely harsh on the defender and far less of a handball than the one...

    Ally McMoist

    Agree with Saint. One of the only ones being paid to watch football who always sounds like he's enjoying himself and remembers what a great job he has. Total opposite to how Alan Green and Mark Lawrenson used to sound on 5 Live. If the game wasn't a classic they moaned like no one's business.

    James McClean again

    Thanks for that. I completely agree that the English footballers going over there aren't going to be 'throwing things about the past in the Germans faces'. I'm sure plenty of those friendly monarchy loving England fans who abuse McClean so much will be doing plenty of singing about bombers and...

    Who are 'the boys going over to Germany'?

    James McClean again

    Agreed. Funny how people loved it when the likes of Tate and Trundle join in with the anti-Cardiff songs, then clutch their pearls when McLean joins in with a song about hating the monarchy.

    Gigs ‘24

    I'm not hugely knowledgeable on live music, but it looks promising to me that the Arena is one of their stops alongside some far more established venues around the UK?

Start of Euro 2024
