Not many matches on today. Gooners desperately need a win. Type of match Palace usually turn up for.

Can't find a trace of him.

1-0 down.

He's a mixed bag. A lot of the time I think his arrogance is pretence but then when you read about him running after a referee in a car park because he robbed him of a title it's just not on. He always had this ambition/obsession with winning the CL with three clubs. It caused him his downfall IMO. ...

I don't think you can take good free kicks without practising. Certain skills can be innate e.g. dribbling.

What surprises me is that ST has only scored once from a free-kick this season.

ecc

I read we are willing to sell Scott Twine for £5m but Bristol City don't want to know at that price.

ecc

History shows that Reading were a third-tier club before Madejski and they're back to that now. Large catchment area but not got that real football culture.

ecc

Sutton is a knee-jerking jerk.

Bloody hell lads!

Great weekend.

BUT, this lad Masara is beginning to find the net regularly.

ecc

Cheers, sjb. Just seen that on Twitter. Up against the top team. Pity Jackson got a red.

'Won' more penalties than any other player in the Premier League era .. I bet that shocks absolutely nobody

He's undoubtedly up there in the list but Vardy must surely be the king.

ecc

I wasn't at the game, couldn't watch it but still felt bloody sick last night. As said by a fellow Claret on the Fofana signing thread, we could have signed Haaland and I'd still be feeling utterly depressed. However, Wilson Odobert is a beacon of light in our sea of darkness. It's not just his cutt...

Saw it on a tweet last night and then again on YT and you can see why the ref could have thought Trafford wasn't impeded but there's a clear foul and the VAR officials just had to see that.

Goal given to Amdouni. Guardian reporter had given it to JBG.

GTFI!

Will do the lad good.

Where does "Avoid coming from a broken home" come on this list of virtues?

Looks like Roberts is on his way to DL so he'd only be used if we had several injuries.

At least Lyle is fit.

Concerning Matkovic, the latest news in the Croatian media, is that he signed a long-term deal with his club Osijek end december. The last rumours in the Croatian media concerning Romano seem to date back to last year when he linked him with Everton, RB Salzburg and Sassuolo.

ecc

Nemanja Matic has never been linked but was mentioned as the type of player who could boost us. It would seem he's leaving Rennes after just six months. However, I read last night one of his issues was that he was told there was an international school in Rennes (he has three children). But there is...

Fair play to Rovers OS. They put the away team up unlike ours.

Good to see Joe Westley back.

At one of his testimonial evenings, Duff was asked about his Burnley managers Cotterill - owe my career to him but at times he was too intense Coyle -the most unprofessional squad he’d been involved with that the senior players pulled us through Laws - was never given a chance Howe - he never spoke...

Not a rugby fan but don't need to be to know how great he was.

Gareth Edwards, Barry John, J.J. Williams.

I'm sure Wrexhollywam FC would love to get him. 20, already scoring regularly in their division and full of potential.

This is my understanding of a sweeper was but it doesn't sound like Beckenbauer played that way - especially if he was in a back four. The Italian way, with the sweeper behind the back four... How did that work with offsides? They didn't play for offsides. They considered that too dangerous. The fi...

ecc

In 1974 he played alongside Schwarzenbeck in central defence. The latter was a stopper. Lacked mobility but was there as a rampart and to win balls in the air. Beckenbauer would trigger attacking moves. He was very comfortable on the ball, an excellent passer and the brain of the team. https://en.wi...

ecc

Way before my time unfortunately, and for those like me that never saw him play, if you were to compare him to a modern player, who would it be? RIP. There are no great sweepers today IMHO TsarBomba. A lot of people said Van Dijk was up there with the Beckenbauers but I disagree. Beckanbauer was IM...

One of the greatest players of all time. Full stop.

Everything's subjective but one of the best liberos. Rudi Krol and Franco Baresi were, IMHO, his main competitors as a libero who liked to attack.
Gaetano Scirea wasn't allowed to venture forward very much.

A sad day for football.

After a difficult start our lads have now gone eight unbeaten. We're third in the League although we've played two games more than most other teams. We are though the only team to have beaten leaders Birmingham. Of course, we also knocked them out on penalties in the FA Youth Cup.

Well done, lads.

On the bench again in the Cup game at Swansea.

ecc

I'm too partisan to have completely given up. Yes, it's highly unlikely we'll stay up but the recent performances of lads like Dara O'Shea who looked completely out of depth added to the return of Lyle Foster makes me think we might still get out of it. I'll accept any flak going but I want to belie...

ecc

Could we stick to the topic of the thread for once? Injuries are bad news. Full stop. But Lyle really doesn't need physical problems to add to his mental health issues. Let's hope the lighter January fixture schedule helps him and all our injured players.

ecc

That ball was moving wicked. Really not sure many keepers could have touched it let alone save it.

ecc

This lad not used to derby policing. Decent kid though TBH.

ecc

He certainly has a presence.

He's so used to wanting to get his team moving that he gets frustrated and is liable to choose a bad option. Last season was easy for him from that point of view. I honestly think he'd fit in with a better PL team than us where his players had more time on the ball.

Me neither.

Jack can't be fit.

Cameron Diaz is also a good actress.

Didn't know. Oddly enough, I checked his stats for Villareal the other day: La Liga: 2 starts, 12 sub appearances. 206 minutes. No goals, no assists. EL : 3 starts, subbed in twice. No goals, no assists. Copa del Rey: 1 start. No goals, no assists. However, unlike most Clarets, it would seem, I do h...

I saw him recently in one of his post Starsky and Hutch days films. TV movie. It wasn't high quality but not that bad either.
