Re: Weekend Football

Fwiw after that it goes to matches between the teams, and Leeds won both of those.

Re: Changes In Football thread

Winston Biscuit Semi-Automated offside technology voted in by PL clubs. Will be introduced by the end of 2024


Excellent news.

I'd like to see the 'Wenger rule' come in though to completely change what determines a player is 'offside'.

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Given the last few years I'm not sure we should really be lolling at clubs with batshit mental owners seemingly intent on screwing the club into the ground. That said, £3 billion? Just how could a stadium cost that much unless you're using it for money laundering purposes? The new Riverside Stand a...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Maybe I am dismissing Southampton too easily from the equation. Just looks a point or 2 too far for me. and they have rubbish GD compared to the others. They would likely have to win their last 6 games to stand a chance, and are currently in pretty poor form winning 4 of their last 10 games. could ...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Given that they still have to play Leicester and Leeds, it's probably also noteworthy that Southampton can reach 96 points.

Watford (H)
Preston (H)
Cardiff (A)
Leicester (A)
Stoke (H)
Leeds (A)

Re: Weekend Football

Championship contenders all doing their best not to get promoted. Leicester lost at Millwall, Leeds could only draw 0-0 at home against Sunderland. Ipswich go top if they beat Watford tonight.

Re: Weekend Football

genome Phil Foden is unreal


Yeah, this is very good news for England. Can arguably add Foden to the 'world-class' bracket alongside Kane, Bellingham and (imho) Saka. Our team is getting scary good.

And at the other end, wait for the shitstorm if City win the title this season and only then are found guilty of various charges.

Re: Weekend Football

I want them to go down due to points deductions purely for the backlash. Without deductions they'd be two points from safety, with five games left. Their fixture list at least puts in their hands - they still have to play Forest, Luton and Sheffield United, albeit the latter will be relegated by th...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Rotherham going down means Barnsley have to go up now, if my conspiracy theory is to be proven correct that the clubs have an agreement to switch places with each other every season and they have never actually played each other. There is something in this. In the last decade, despite both clubs be...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Remains of course very unlikely, but Leicester, Ipswich and Leeds can all still reach 100 points. Highest points total in the EFL not to achieve promotion is 90, Leeds currently four short of this in third, with five to play.

Sutekh
Loafer I wish Rotherham would just stop getting promoted, they're oxf*rd boring


Certainly for next season anyway!


In the 51 seasons since they were relegated to the bottom tier in 1972/73, Rotherham have changed division 22 times, including in six of the last seven seasons. :lol:

Re: Weekend Football

I don't think Cole Palmer will be at Chelsea long, can see him getting a huge move to a Real Madrid or PSG in the next year or so. I liked his attitude post game, he's extremely cold and focussed. Seems like a winner. The 'Cold Palmer' celebration makes my eye twitch. But yeah, top class player, he...

Re: Weekend Football

Something ominous about City swatting aside a very good Villa team last night. And this is now Foden's best goalscoring season by some distance, he has 21 in all competitions. On the wider Premier League, it's encouraging that, even in Kane's absence, six of the top ten goalscorers - Solanke, Bowen,...

Leverkusen aren't letting their unbeaten run go lightly. 7th March, 2-1 behind in Qarabag, they equalised in the 92nd minute. 14th March, 2-1 down at home to Qarabag after 93 minutes and heading out of the Europa, they score twice and win the tie. 30th March, 1-0 down at home to Hoffenheim with 88 m...
