Carrick can't have too long left at Boro

He looked a good manager last season. The complete opposite of Ryan Lowe at PNE. What a difference a few months can make.

Citeh just scored a great team goal consisting of goodness knows how many continuous passes without losing the ball…..

Bit like us at Everton

Despite being one of the older games Shogun 2 needs a powerful processor to run it with the graphics.

Although the original Rome, I think, is by far the best of the series.

Fingers crossed the US elections put an end to this pointless slaughter.

I know some of you will wish otherwise

Putin is solely to blame for the deliberate slaughter and genocide - no one else.

The worry is that many in America see him as a hero.

The difference nowadays is that there is far more scrutiny of decisions, that's all. Whereas back in the days of Clive Thomas etc. there was little in the way of post match analysis. When he famously blew his whistle in the match between Brazil & Sweden, denying Brazil a goal, it would have been tal...

That's about a new single issue, where they are still working out what's what. However, you can hear the discussions between the ref and the off field officials. Football is light year's behind. I think the quote from that rugby article seems to be applicable to any sport though, not just football:...

Spijed

After looking good in the opening game Southampton seem to be struggling so far since.

Spijed

Absolutely and what the ref sees is via the big screen, so the crowd can as well. Also he can ask for other angles. I've said it before, if it's done like RU, it's as open as possible. So why not for football. Is it because the powers that be want it like it is? Obviously you haven't been watching ...

Spijed

Scrapping VAR wouldn't solve the problems of terrible decision making. The problem is the officials controlling it. Rather like a car is only as good as the driver. If we cannot trust officials, and I don't, it has to be taken out of their hands, or at least give them help. Create a panel, include ...

Spijed

Interesting that Rugby is often used as how VAR is being used properly & correctly, but as has been seen quite a few times in the rugby world cup it's just as much open to mistakes as football is. Especially when it's down to the opinion of the referee and those operating TMO.

Spijed

One thing that's noticeable is his ability to anticipate crosses cut back into the box. It's a very underestimated skill that many strikers don't have. When you see the number of tap-ins that Harry Kane scored it always made you think why wasn't the defender marking more closely, but it's that super...

Spijed

In terms of defending corners/ freekicks etc. will Amdouni offer the same ability that Jay-Rod would. We'll certainly a bit of height.

Spijed

The bottom line is that we had to change our defensive line-up and bring Charlie Taylor into the side.

We had zero chance of surviving with the defence that we saw in the first 3 games.

That elbow was a sign of frustration, firstly for the goal that wasn’t and then at being held in the box, which is a penalty for Man City any day of the week.

Luckily, the way the fixtures fall he is only going to miss a week or so.

We’ll done to ALK for properly integrating and investing in the women’s team, but real shame they don’t get them on the turf more often.

Maybe due to the agreement in place to play at Leyland?

(Welsh) Aaron Ramsey has been very impressive. I though he was a spent force having seen him play for Wales in the WC, but he seems rejuvenated for Cardiff.

Certainly had a very good career. When he first came on the scene he was the welsh version of Jude Bellingham.

Mate who lives in Leeds is Spurs ST holder, always said they needed to lose Kane to move on.

He can hardly believe the impact of the new coach.

Tbf, you can only judge them once they start playing tougher opposition than they've had so far, which has been an incredibly kind fixture list so far.

Liverpool look really dodgy in defence and keep giving the ball away cheaply in midfield (Mac Allister especially). Gomez doent look anything like a good right back either. Liverpool still carry a threat up front and may yet still win this but they don't look like top 4 contenders on the form the'v...

a very good Spurs team who I think will be in the top 4 if not challenging top 2 come the end of the season

Certainly high praise for Spurs who so far have had a very kind fixture list - Brentford, Man U, Bournemouth & Burnley.

Will it? Why?

If we are in the Championship for a prolonged period I just wondered how we'd be able to manage the debt without any significant revenue.

Spijed

I don't think we've been "the pits" in the 3 games this season. Naive definitely and not up to speed with the league for the full 90 minutes. However, in all 3 games we've had spells where we've matched teams and had chances to affect the game and score. We've also played the best team in the world...

Relegation a financial disaster… where have I heard that before.

Our outlay was not much more than £90m in total so I’m not sure where £150m has come from.

It'll only be a disaster if we go down and stay down for a few seasons.

I beg to differ. I know it's not football based but if you've ever listened to Flower of Scotland and Land of my Fathers sung at Rugby Internationals you'll know what I mean.

I know a national anthem’s sole objective is not to get thousands of football fans roused to a high level, but ours will never create the noise and unified voice that Flower of Scotland did last night.

I think the fear of going in front comes from the fact that defensively England are not one of the strongest sides. We might have great players going forwards but we have no one who is anywhere near to being world class at any defensive duties. That's why we have to play with two defensive midfielde...

possibly not, but I recall them selling really quick last season. If only I was on a supporters club WhatsApp group

As it's close to Luton, playing Watford on a Friday night last year we took 1,230, so Luton (1026 went last season) probably will sell out, but unlikely to be a mass stampede.

There is virtually no similarity between Scholes and Cullen, or their respective roles.
As for size, little Brian O'Neil did OK.

Point I was making is that some are saying you need to be big and strong to be a success in the Prem, which clearly isn't the case if you have the ability.

Spijed

they didn't say that. They said "like a supporters club who can coordinate dozens of people on a Whatsapp" - which does happen as it allows people who have enough points to share their Claret Number with the supporters club group to enable them to get the tickets they need in bulk. I too would welc...

Spijed

People are saying he isn't big enough to play that role but neither was Paul Scholes.

Seems size can be used as an excuse when players don't have the ability.
