I remember Modric winning being a surprise to everyone, but also everyone was so bored of Ronaldo and Messi winning that the next best after them getting high praise was seen as a nice relief How's it decided? Is there a chance of a complete surprise or is it pretty much guaranteed to be one of the...

I don't know why i have an interest in this. I feel I shouldn't as the noise around it has come to represent the modern day football stuff i am not keen on. but for some reason each year i have an interest in it. anyway...

Why are Newcastle favs to beat Barcelona? No Yamal, but still...

never understand why people go to football to be like this. well, at least he will be famous around his home town now. https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/diego-simeone-confronts-liverpool-fans-1024544075.jpg?strip=all&w=696 Previously served a 3 year ban from Anfield for abusin...

Wycombe appoint Michael Duff.

Managed to get a ticket for Benfica last night who stacked a 2 goal lead to lose 3-2 to Qarabag which was a huge shock and left the locals fuming and calling for Bruno Lage’s resignation. Nice ground, easily accessible on the metro and clearly what Arsenal modelled the Emirates Stadium off. Some sh...

Peterborough won yesterday, so probably willing to give Fergie Jnr a bit more time before sacking him, then rehiring ...

Game on...

windermereROYAL I got slaughtered for saying Ahmed wasn`t very good in our last league game, he`s really not very good at this level yet, Abrefa is better.

Pepe the Horseman How is that a yellow?

If they're playing in a Reading shirt then it's a yellow.

Yep.

Class from Marriott. Everything we've been missing in the first few games.

How is that a yellow?

Been coming.

Sure he'll walk into another L1 job. Was never gonna work out for whoever replaced Wilder, such a stupid decision to sack him.

4-0, jeez. Sacked in the morning I guess. Was never gonna work out there, but thought he'd last at least 10 games.

Hope he proves the miserable buggers wrong, they were whinging and crying the moment he was appointed. Bindon dropped? Whoops, one down already He's not in the squad at all - so wonder if he's injured. Apparently Ole Gunnar Solskjær's in the crowd, just two weeks after he was sacked by Besiktas - w...

Selles getting pelters for his team selection tonight.
