It's painful. There's a clamour for equal recognition and commercial aspects of the women's game, but these ladies her tonight are really struggling to strike the ball. They're supposed to be professionals after all

Off to Trogir outside Split in a couple of weeks. Looks a lovely quiet place which suits me down to the ground but have hire car so likely to wander about a bit

I second the BMW museum too, and from memory, I think it's free? The old Olypiastadion is across the road, and when I went, albeit a few years ago now, they were trialling the Zipline from the floodlights across the pitch. If you look closely, you my just locate my arsehole that dropped when I stepp...

Have Lyon got any decent players we could buy? Absolutely, some good young players who would, I imagine, be setting their sights higher than us, such as Thiago Almada and Malik Fofana, whilst also having Mikautadze and Maitland-Niles whom we were allegedly after a couple of years ago. Plenty of exp...

I'd like us to be looking at Lathe Lath from Atlanta, I think he would be a perfect addition.

Not for the amount they'd want! They only signed him in Jan for about £20million!

I wouldn't mind a punt on Ricardo Pepi from PSV.
22 years old, decent record and has a mix of physicality and pace

I know nothing about him apart from him being quite a good keeper a few years ago on Football Manager!

Links to 2 keepers now suggests the battle for Traffords signature is still on

Anybody think Kyogo Furuhashi would be a decent shout? Plenty of pace and the type of fox in the box we've lacked for some time. Out of favour at Rennes with no goals and likely affordable but has shown previously he knows where the goal is. Probably falls in the bracket that if we go down he would ...

Never a penalty in a million years. Blatant dive

Just a quick heads up, Burnley Road is shut travelling from Rawtenstall just after the Cravern Heifer(Kasmir), car on it roof and all emergency service in attendance.
Hope everyone is ok. Doubt it will be open soon

It's reopened now

ClaretFelix

I don't think he's a massive miss, he's a striker that doesn't score goals. Yes he can run the channels, but most of the time it leads to very little.
That said, i hope his injury isn't too serious though, can be a long lay off with shoulders as they're always susceptible to going again

Was having some buffering on my stream of our game yesterday so had to stick it on the tablet. I had Leeds on the telly and Swansea looked to rattle them. They attacked with pace down either flank and really had Leeds in trouble at times. Leeds seem to throw so many men forward every time who don't ...

I haven't heard a thing, have no inside knowledge, but I'm pretty grown up and adult enough to conclude there is something more to it than just refusing to play. The chants and constant barracking are quite frankly embarrassing and clearly are being picked up on by Tresor himself. It's easy to hide ...

I've been pleasantly surprised with Laurent, I had zero expectations of him as I knew nothing about him prior to his arrival. He has had some very effective games for us, and some very quiet ones, like last night. Personally, I would use him in a tight 3 against your better sides, to utilise his hei...

I work in retail and the police are not interested, they just tell you to send in footage and nothing happens. And this depends on whether the footage is actually sent in, (quite a lot isnt) is of sufficient enough quality to make an identification of the offender (a hell of a lot isnt - certainly ...

What good would that do? The police still wouldn't turn up. Yes they would. But as everybody knows, they are being stretched even more and all deployments from calls for service are assessed on current risk posed. Just because they don't always come out on blue lights every time, doesn't mean they ...

It was to prevent a bottleneck on the narrow Lowthorpe Road with potential flashpoints with both sets of fans. By getting our fans out via Bill Shankley Crescent allowed for a natural filter and more space whilst actually being the shorter route out towards Sainsbury's. If there had been a fracas on...

I'll go against the grain a little in that I can appreciate a structured set up, a solid defensive Base and defending from the front. However, I feel the players themselves need to take more responsibility for the often negative way we set up in games, notably when in possession. It shouldnt take a ...

Trafford 7 Roberts 7 CJER 8 Esteve 9 apart from a few cross field passes that were intercepted, his defensive positioning was sublime. Humphreys 7 Cullen 7 Laurent 6 Brownhill 5 restricted due to the shape we were playing stifling his free role Anthony 7 Foster 4 - he looked way of the pace after 20...

ClaretFelix

A bitter sweet game for me. We've stopped the top scorers in the league from notching in both games, with only really one shot of concern for Trafford. The defensive record continues. I understand Parkers tactics without the ball and it was textbook. Rigid framework, pressing at the right times, wit...

Yep and I acknowledged that over on the player ratings thread. I was referring to the one where the full back slips and he had all the time in the world to pick someone out or take the ball in. He put a pretty harmless ball into the goalkeeper’s midriff instead and looked upset with himself. Those ...

10:00 just after Tresor plays the ball, I don't think I've ever seen a professional footballer looking less interested in getting into the box. He might as well have sat down and pulled out a book. Strange that he made himself available if there is a problem, and you can't question his ability. htt...

I'd see what CJER could do sitting in front of a back 4. Sky's the limit for me as the new Rodri.

No, let's just leave him where he is. Where he has played at youth and U23 level has no bearing on where he should be playing now.
He's performing brilliantly at CB, no need to muddy the waters

Not sure if Watford were poor or we just made them look that way? A glance at the table suggests it could be the latter. By far our best performance all season. Not a single negative today, and I very rarely give 9s! Trafford 8. Quiet game but big save and punch at key times along with decent distri...

Likely Leeds fans will kick off, just heard there's no Internet for the tills and as the club are now cashless inside the ground, they aren't able to sell anything!! When there's 7000 thirsty Yorkshire men in town, it could lead to a bit of a problem!!

Still no sign of the Great Wall being finished. Not even any workers there some days. Few hundred yards is stretching it a bit! It's about 30 yards worth and given the amount of machinery there when they first started, I though that it was progressing well. However, I saw a post on FB last week of ...

Vitinho was a lot better footballer than some on here gave him credit for. Out of all the players we sold in the summer he’s possibly the one that this team is missing the most.

I just can’t see Parker being a long term option for us. If he does get us promoted, I dread to think how we’d be under him in prem.

I’d twist.

More than likely a lot harder to beat than his previous incumbent, which is half the battle

Still trying to catch up after series linking it. It's brilliant, there not a single second in the whole series so far where you would say "that's Colin Farrell".

Yes, they did. Whilst acknowledging he was manager when they were promtoed, they said it was in spite of him, not because of him.

Could have sworn we're 4th in the league, having only lost 2 games and conceded only 6 in 13 games? And all this by apparently playing terribly every game. Imagine when the tide turns, without mad transfer windows and stop start with the International weeks.

This post shows exactly how little the average football fan knows about the game. There are issues all over the pitch. From full backs that can’t get forward to midfielders that can’t break the lines. Our forwards are almost completely pointless at this stage due to issues elsewhere Oh aye, you'd h...

Millwall deserved that. We've been atrocious. No we haven't. Really not sure what game some of you watch. Absolute bunch of babies at times.

Really not sure where all the doom and gloom is coming from, we pressed really well throughout, caused Hull to give us the ball back fairly easily and we're reasonably decent up until the final third, which I think we can all agree on, that it is a work in progress. It was only final balls or sloppi...
