A bit more in this pitch now. Just need to try & bat till the end of the day; 275+ will be a competitve score on the final day.

dvalley69

Unbelievable to think that Chelsea are still officially playing the 24/25 season when most teams are back in pre-season for the 25/26 season.

dvalley69

Even if we were competing in this comp I wouldn't give a monkeys. It's football overkill & completely unnecessary.

As I've already said it's not 1 in isolation but please keep focusing on this as it will assist in detracting.

OK, let's look at the countless other examples then. Give us an example of what you're talking about? Or is it not allowed to talk specifics/individual cases?

The inference that any injury to Amdouni should've been picked up in his medical two years ago is simply moronic Yeah, by Jakub's theory Bayern should never have bothered with Musiala coz when an opponent goalkeeper slides in then his ankle & legs are weak, and susceptible to being dislocated & bro...

It’s a generic point. The questions will vary from month to month. This board currently has lots of questions about how the stadium, but nobody is asking them, because there’s no forum to do it. An awful lot of prolonged conjecture could be avoided if the club opened up a bit more towards its custo...

The game has moved on so fast in the last 5/10 years and sadly he’s been left far behind. The way he speaks, he knows it. Yeah. SD often spoke about going to visit others clubs/sports, doing various professional development stuff. Out of work managers also always talk about it when doing media work...

What questions do you want answers to?

Because you pay for interviews on the club's media outlets? Strange, I use Youtube & X for all club videos. Don't need to pay for anything, mate.

dvalley69

I just don’t think modern football clubs like the idea of not controlling the message. They don’t want to be asked tough questions. It’s not just Burnley. And rightly so! It's not even professional media outlets anymore that can manipulate info, but every Tom, Dick & Harry with social media nowaday...

dvalley69

Think this could be a Scotty Arfield type signing. JBL is very clever in getting into little pockets in midfield/top 3rd. He's also a grafter, a real team player and will stick in shape defensively. We still don't know how the new lad from Lazio is gonna turn out (didn't exactly set Serie A on fire)...

August or July?

I didn't get todays due to it having 2 of the same letter in it... only one popped up when I'd entered it (the last letter). Shouldn't both of them show up?

It's 1 of them where the doubters presently are all in the wrong but when it all goes tits up (which it will imo) a sudden blanket wave of amnesia will strike & god knows how many excuses will surface. Exactly the same thing happened with WW exactly how the hell was a guy (proven or not elsewhere) ...

dvalley69

Time will tell if his legs are up to it. But he's clearly not able to do it at the highest level or else City & AC Milan would probably have kept him on for at least another year. Let's hope his experience & nouse will shine for a club who's expected to be battling it out for survival.

Regarding the Englischer Garten, there's a place at the start of the park, when walking from the Hofgarten part, where there are people using the natural current & waves of the river to surf. Pretty cool to see.

dvalley69

Perfect fit for Turkey or Saudi League. He's said it's a family decision so I'd guess he's gonna go where the money is high & the work is relatively easy so he can enjoy the family life.

Always seemed a weird choice as a Saturday night headliner. He is 79 after all.

dvalley69

The teams were; Burnley: Tom Heaton, Kieran Trippier, Michael Duff, Jason Shackell, Ben Mee, Matty Taylor (Michael Kightly 77), Dean Marney, David Jones, Scott Arfield (Ross Wallace 69), Danny Ings, Lukas Jutkiewicz (Marvin Sordell 63). Subs not used: Matt Gilks, Steven Reid, Luke O'Neill, Kevin Lo...

Not sure Sarri is gonna be in charge for the game. Rumours are he's set to resign coz they can't sign any players.

dvalley69

Always seemed a hard working lad with a great attitude who won't go hiding. That alone means he should be able to carve out a decent career for himself and get some success. All the best, Dara.

I'll say it, the two young interviewers the club have are abysmal.

The issue I have is they aren't just first timers anymore, but this is probably the start of their 4th season now. The official interviews with players are so drab, and that comes down to the questions and how they are asked.

dvalley69

I think we have learned that signing a young goalkeeper and throwing him into the premier league isn’t always the best idea. If Traff is off he should be understudy to an experienced number one for a year, he obviously has much promise. Can’t help think someone like Fabianski on a free wouldn’t be ...

Games are free on Dazn anyway if you sign up & have a profile.

Sounds a decent sized fee for what will be a backup. Signal of intent?

He's gonna be number 1, isnt he? Trafford is off to Newcastle.

Can have a rest now; Italy knocked out.

When you add in the stadium I guess you can understand why Levy expects a bit more in the Premier League even after a successful European campaign.

How are the teams selected for this tournament? Why City & Chelsea for example? Why aren't Liverpool there?

AC Milan at Leeds and Fiorentina at Man United as well. AC Milan vs Leeds is being played in Dublin, I think. Fiorentina are at Old Trafford. Not great with Roma also at Everton on the same afternoon. And Italy is closed for those 2 middle weeks in August as it's their wakes weeks so plenty of fans...

Great. The Italian fascists in town. Should be fun!

dvalley69

You guys are just looking for things which aren't there. Positioning and reading of the game is his biggest strength. I don't think he's a slouch in terms of pace. End of the day, CJ is a class act, at 22 he's got a big future ahead. I am pretty sure Parker was desperate to keep hold of him You tot...

I don't understand the height factor being relevant: who plays long balls or plays aerially in the Prem? It's not really part of the game anymore. If he survived in the Championship then I'm sure he'd do that side of the job in the Prem. The real question is his positioning & pace at the top level.

dvalley69

If it is Marseille then it's a big step up and if he can prove himself there then it'll stand him in good stead for a potential Prem return. Playing for a MASSIVE French club, in the CL, under De Zerbi, in a raucous stadium, and paid well, will give him a real footballing experience. Can't really bl...

Gazza speaks openly about his panic attacks in the China documentary, which he'd had since being a kid, most probably due to the trauma experienced as a 10 year old. Clearly, that was never sorted and despite being a genius of a player he never could get away from his psychological issues and resort...

A million other examples in Italian football. It's a bit of a non-story in the context of Italian football. There are more clubs that have created a phoenix club and restarted down the pyramid than the original ones!!

Italy lost 3-0 to Norway and already looking at struggling to reach a 3rd WC on the trot. And we think we have problems!!

Clearly, he's been sacked following his admittance about prioritising the EL. Their statement says they want to be competing on every level, but they will never ever win The Prem or CL. Poch got sacked after getting them in the CL & a final. Ange is only the 3rd manager to get them silverware and is...

CJ has done what was asked of him this season. If he had already decided he wanted to leave early in the season then he's had an even more remarkable season coz many wouldn't have given a flying f!

Thing is when he continues with his laddish act he’s actually minimizing the number of possibilities open to him. Clubs now want modern coaches with modern coaching methods. He’s painting himself into a corner where he can only be a) a specialist relegation saver like Warnock or Allardyce or b) a p...

Higher-placed team in the league? If the lower-placed team can't beat the other side after ET in the return leg then they don't deserve it over 210 mins & 48 games effectively.

The 3rd and 4th goal for Inter were top class particularly in the circumstances. That 4th goal is a great example of the difference between a player at the very top and a good player. Rooney described this the other day on the fan debate where a player understands how not to connect with the defend...
