I had an irrational dislike for Home Counties cricketers but Underwood was class. He changed his approach when wickets became covered. He was close on medium-pace but with incredible accuracy. Very difficult to get away. Some might laugh but I saw similarities between Underwood and Jack Simmons. The...

I'm sorry but just want this season to end (fairweather fan that I am).

I know this has been done before but at least it's positive.

Snow Patrol are not everyone's thing but this song is, for me, beautiful. Their best IMHO and released in 2001.

I'm sorry but the howler yesterday can happen to all keepers. However awful it was, it doesn't make him a bad goalkeeper.

Absolutely not condoing it but I've been amongst Burnley fans down in Brighton singing "Town full of queers".

I would add this:

Bonjour Monsieur/Bonjour Madame

Always you "s'il vous plaît" and "merci".

Being polite never a negative attitude.

As for people speaking French in Marseille, yes, they do. Despite the colour of their skin.

However, the accent can be impenetrable.

Charlie Taylor would be a must for me. I think Jack's best days are gone now.

Chelsea will look to put Fofana in the PL or a top league.

TBH it's a bloody mess. Points docked then some given back now more taken away. Ridiculous.

I just hope they continue to be a sh**show for the self-promoted biggest club in the world. A few weeks back, one of my fellow Clarets - I forget who - said they couldn't think of any signings who had improved there since Ferguson left. I've given it some thought and it's a pretty big challenge to t...

Quality player, but I feel his England scoring record is skewed by the amount he’s scored against poor sides. Kane, imo has always come up short when we’ve played the better sides in the latter stages. Even when he got the WC golden boot it was a bit rubbish. 2 decent goals in the first game agains...

Good question - I saw him get injured in a game and I don’t think he’s played since

His body just won't give him peace.

Lads did well to fight back especially after Hull.

We have a goalscorer and when you do, you've always got a chance.

Sam had his best years at Burnley. He was what he was but he made the most of his ability. He was excellent up top with Danny Ings in 2013-14.

Chelsea was a great memory.

Roberts can stay at DL or go back to Swansea. We're going to need players who are 100% committed.

If Foster and Fofana are fit enough then you'd start with them every match.

Hi NewClaret, Thank you. I remember them having to see Richarlison very quickly in summer 2022. I'm certainly not defending them but they were obliged to respect contracts or have a firesale that summer and go down. They have two or three main assets from what I can see: Pickford, Branthwaite and On...

Sorry about asking a clueless question but when it says 22/23 accounts this does mean it covers wages for last season, doesn't it? So, for example that will include the signing-on fees and wages for Tarky and Dwight. They would probably have been paying some of Dele Alli's wages when out on loan in ...

He made a stand. One of very few. For that I respect the man.

I can only access the sites of the BBC and The Guardian. Neither reporter mentions any of England's decisions.

When I watched their penalty first time it looked like...a penalty. However, the replay from a camera behind the goal gives a different insight.

He didn't use VAR, did he?

The stupidity on this thread is off the scale. One-digit mental age scores. As for AM, he has an undeniable presence. A lot of the best keepers in the game have had such a presence. He's now back in the team and we just have to hope he can inspire the lads to dig deep and see the season out restorin...

Just reading on Twitter about Wrexhams losses in their accounts. 6m for the season and over 8m owed to the owners.

Larry Lloyd embodied just how good a manager Brian Clough was (and, please, let's not have the usual suspects talk about Clough's off-the-field problems). Lloyd was deemed surplus to requirements at Anfield, went to Coventry and seemed to have had his better days behind him. Clough turned him into a...

On this day eight years ago, the world of football lost one of its greatest ever exponents. Johan Cruyff was a boyhood idol but it was only when I grew older that I realised just how great he was.

Apologies. I misread the live feed. Adekoya hasn't been sent off. Was booked but I thought it said second booking. He was then subbed.

So, still 11 v 11.

I'm no fan of Macron but he seems to be the only Western leader committed to backing Ukraine. As always, a hidden agenda can be glimpsed. Le Pen has long been a friend of Putin and has sought finance from Russian banks. Macron is also in the position where he cannot seek another term as President so...

First time I've seen these lads. Three minutes' highlights but Tom Tweedy looks a player. Glad to see Vernon Masara show more interest in scoring than getting the Bournemouth defender sent off.
