Re: The footballer gets arrested thread

Quincy Promes is hiding in Russia, and in the short-term might avoid jail, despite being handed an 18-month prison sentence for stabbing his brother at a party. Russia won't extradite him. Promes is also now on trial for his part in a cocaine smuggling ring, and prosecutors, in his absence from the...

Re: Weekend Football

They have to be the worst team in PL history on watching them Yeah, I don't remember Derby being this awful. Arsenal the first team in English football league history to win three consecutive away games by five goals or more. I would imagine not many teams have lost three in a row at home by that m...

Re: Refereeing

Paul, fourth official in the PL is right at the top of the tree, would we know who you were, recognise you as a league referee?

I can see why there is a struggle for Sunday league referees - increasingly a cesspit for violent behaviour and abuse.

Re: England - the future....

Sutekh Shame the defensive options are so meagre and we're screwed for a striker if Kane gets crocked.


I think Watkins would chip in with a few goals if needed.

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Leverkusen now 34 games unbeaten in all competitions, entering rare territory. Since the advent of European competition, Benfica hold this particular record, going undefeated in 48 matches between December 1963 and February 1965. Six other sides have reached 40 games without defeat in all competitio...

The Bellingham goal controversy https://twitter.com/willbrazier/status/1764055196622045450?t=4NOWkzp_K8lFrPZBBYY1Yg&s=19 The whistle clearly goes as the player hits the cross. No controversy really, it wasn't a goal. Refs generally do 3 peeps on the whistle at fulltime. When is the games over, ...

NathStPaul I like Onana. He's a shithouse.


This. He's got a bit of the Barthez about him.

Re: England - the future....

I'm down on here as one of Southgate's biggest supporters, he has been phenomenal for England. But what a bunch of players we now have. And frankly if Rice, Foden, Bellingham, Saka and Kane don't all start in our first match at the Euros (and any match for which they are available), then the guy is ...

Re: Weekend Football

Is this the part of the season where City relentlessly swat aside all in their path? Yes. They do look a little more vulnerable to the counter attack. I think Arsenal or Liverpool would have done them today. This. No guarantee Liverpool will next week though. A Liverpool win would make it really in...

Would be very Liverpool, and arguably a good choice, to sniff around Ashworth for a bit and then poach Jason Wilcox from Southampton.

I feel old, part 512. Jason Koumas made his league debut for Tranmere in 1998, just before I left sixth form. Neil Danns played his first game for Blackburn Rovers in 2002, just after Ieft university. Last night their sons Lewis and Jayden both scored for Liverpool. Lee Clark's son Bobby also played...

Morton were bottom of the Scottish Championship a couple of months ago and looking terrible - but are on a charge and yesterday set an all-time club record of 16 matches unbeaten. Now safely in 4th place and closing the gap on the clubs above them. Also through to the Scottish Cup QFs. 12 of those ...

I like this. To celebrate their centenary, AIK of Sweden have released a replica of the kit they wore 100 years ago, and to commemorate it they had replica photos taken on a camera even older than that. https://twitter.com/HLTCO/status/1762572409406656655 https://www.soccerbible.com/media/155698/aik...

Segunda Division near impossible to call. Leganes are top but have lost six times. They are just nine points ahead of 10th place Oviedo, and just 13 points ahead of Tenerife, who are 14th.

Brest is best, for now. Taking advantage of a so-so season in Ligue 1 for contenders not called PSG, Stade Brestois currently second in the league, albeit only ten points ahead of Marseille in 9th spot. Will be lots of competition for the CL spots this season. Brest has never played in Europe - and ...

Bologna have capitalised on a nice run of fixtures and won five in a row. They are 4th in Serie A and in the final CL spot - they have only reached the CL, then European Cup, once in their history, in 1964, and the 60s was also the last time they finished any higher than 5th in the league.
