Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

I don't want to make excuses for them, but, being reflective... All elite sport is about maximising fine margins, and it doesn't take much to lose them, so I do actually wonder whether Jota's tragic death has actually taken an edge off them and that somehow, in the hard moments most matches will pr...

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

AS has to go, Liverpool’s bench yesterday included Gomez who i’be been told by reds fans is ctually carrying an injury and 2 goalkeepers :lol: On top of that he doesn’t seem to have a plan A, let alone a plan B and don’t think he has the bottle to drop under performing players otherwise Salah and K...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Vauxhall Conference League 25/26

I can't find any confirmation of if this will be on Paramount+ (currently free to SKy Cinema subscribers) or if Paramount will be creating a new channel? Presumably the latter Wouldn't surprise me if they go down the same route as Apple TV has done with the MLS. You can pay a smaller fee just for t...

Re: Rumour - Ronan Hale (striker)

linkenholtroyal Heard we are still looking at him. Even with Leam at the helm now.


He's scoring at a rate if 1 goal every 179mins this season - so no surprise that if we liked him before, our view is not really going to have changed.

Re: World Cup 2026

Aren't there 4 finals? So it is just 4 sets of semi finals to be drawn with the winners playing off for one of the remaining slots? As Sweden qualified via the Nations League - I believe they could become the first team to qualify for a World Cup without winning a game (if they win both ties on pen...

8 more teams added in, that's 42, which seems like a lot 42 + 4 x Euro playoffs = 46 Do we know what the permutations are for the last two spaces? Those are for the Intercontinental play-off winners. Draw is tomorrow Iraq and DR Congo as the highest seeds move directly to the 2 "finals". ...

Re: Euros 2028

The Final has been moved forward to a 5pm BST kick off, which makes a lot more sense than an evening game. Same for this season's UCL final and beyond. Good news if you are a match going fan. And for families watching at home with younger kids who couldn't stay up to watch finals starting at 8pm (o...

Yeah Norway are there bar a 4 goal defeat. I for one am here for Italy failing to qualify again, a third time in a row. Ekitike got his first goal for France last night, and it's a beauty. https://x.com/UtdXQueku/status/1989239176064065840 Arne Slot take note - wide left is his best position. What'...

Re: World Cup 2026

Two more goals for Haaland, he now has 53 in 47 caps for Norway, and ten in his last three games. Norway have all but secured their spot at the World Cup. He's also approaching quite an obscure record. He has scored in each of his last ten international matches - if he scores in Italy on Sunday eve...

Not looking great - seems only 98 sold so far. Would say the club haven't advertised it very well so far. Hardly a glamour tie - imag...

Re: Poll: Recruitment

I think we’ll see quite a lot of movement early in the transfer window anyway in both directions If Hunt is banging on about 3-4 more players needed which he wasn’t supported on I don’t think his helping himself mind you. The numbers were plenty sufficient just the profiles, performances and injuri...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Sanguine Wolves set to hire Gary O'Neil as their new boss, 11 months after sacking him. :D


The Sheffield United approach to management hiring.

At least Peterborough normally left it a little while longer before switching between Ferguson & McCann.
