Re: Players at Reading who you had completely forgotten about

I liked him. Called himself Pélé. Wasn't his real name. It's almost like I can't quite believe he was ever real. And someone I've never forgotten, but I reckon many will have done: Ulysses de la Cruz. I remembered his goal, the long run from one end of the pitch to the other, but I had forgotten th...

Re: Changes In Football thread

How about an unlimited number of teams in the play-offs, but each team has to be within 12* points of the first team to miss out on automatic ?

It’s about as sensible as most of the EFL ideas

*I picked 12, but it could be set at 8, 10, etc.

Re: England - the future....

Well so far Tuchel has brought almost nothing positive to England, except a slightly higher level of honesty about performance and expectations. Who knows what is said behind closed doors but he seems agitated, every game, that the players aren't carrying out his instructions. Seems odd, maybe he's...

Re: Football stats

Jonny Evans' departure means that next season will be the first at Manchester United since 1973-74 without a player who played for the club under Alex Ferguson. :? Ferguson didn’t join Man Utd until 1985. Yeh, and there were players from 73-74 onwards who were still there when he joined. Well, one ...

Re: ArsenaLOL

genome Tottenham European trophies: 3
Arsenal European trophies: 0

I hate to break into my self-imposed exile, but do the Fairs Cup and Cup Winners Cup not count.
In one case Arsenal even had to win something to qualify for the tournament

Still leaves them a trophy down :wink:

I was there too, behind the Tilehurst end goal where it was scored ( Franchise- where is he these days? - and Carnaby’s Whiskers were with me). Description above correct, but I would say he was more central than “ towards the left touchline”. FFC is so fed up with the ongoing shitstorm that is the ...
