Re: Weekend Football

Alexander-Arnold's goal v Chelsea? Salah rolled it under his boot rather than kicking it - you can't do that can you? I thought it had to be a kick for a free kick. I would have disallowed it. Not covered, as far as I can see, in the rules A free kick can be taken by lifting the ball with a foot or...

Re: SpuROFLs

The amazing thing about Spurs is that they have managed to stay so high in the Premiership for so long, despite not spending much money for ages, and being excellent at buying rubbish players when they did. They also suffered more than most with the 2018 World Cup tiring players: Dele Ali and Trippi...

Re: CONFIMRED - Charlie Adam

Passing should always be played with a purpose. For example, when Moore and Miazga pass between each other, it often leaves me frustrated because I always wonder what the purpose of the pass is. Simple to say, but a pass should only be made if it puts the receiver in a better position than the pass...

Re: BFTG - Sheffield

It was OK. Moore's mistake was a bit of a surprise, but we came back with a nice equaliser, then gave away another soft goal. I thought we would get an equaliser, but then Adam came on, and that was it really. It must have been soul-destroying for the rest of the team who had been so careful with t...

Re: CONFIMRED - Bod to Millwall.

From my perspective showed a lot of promise and didn't deliver (See Pog) A massive injury prone disappointment Better off without him This really. He had a good spell early last season and then got injured and never looked likely to do anything again. I wish him well at Millwall, but hope our fee d...

Re: CONFIMRED - Liam Kelly

Good luck to Kelly. Something makes me think the Dutch league will be good for him if he can get enough games. It must be good for some of the Academy lads to see where you can end up after coming through the ranks at Reading. He was a good player for us. But his size made him a luxury player at tim...

Ndombele from Lyon to Spurs for €72M (€62M basic + €2.5M for each season they qualify for CL in the first 6 seasons he is there until €10M is reached) That's €62M then. I think they are spent, and this sort of transfer proves it. Who is going to replace them in the Champions League? :D That's a ver...

Re: VAR

All my worst fears about VAR are being systematically confirmed. A well-intentioned innovation has slowed the game down, undermined its zest and corroded its fluidity. Indeed, VAR is gradually turning football into a branch of the justice system. A game constructed upon joy and the spontaneous outp...

Re: Rumour - Danny Loader

Sorry to jump in but this is painful to read. Victor you are right he is a striker but that is very lazy just assume all strikers are the same or any other position has the same type. No one would compare Scholes to Foden for example as they are different midfielders. No one would compare Hudson-Od...

Re: Rumour - Danny Loader

He won’t be the next Michael Owen as they play in different positions. So, what is his position? All I have seen in these senior games is a little boy lost and, according to other posters, playing out of position so needs to be excused. Have scored 8 goals in 9 games for the U23s I thought he was a...

Re: Rumour Meite back to France?

We're not going to shift players by paying up contracts ... rather it will be by letting them go on a free. No point wasting money on paying up contracts. Gomes has literally said we will. We supposedly did a partial pay up with Edwards. We can only let go of contracted players easily if the receiv...
