| Forum Thread | Davis reminds me of Alexander-Arnold. at 00:07 10 Mar 2024
Both are great players at their level but neither are great defenders. Davis is more of a wing-back and could also be good as a wide midfielder whilst TAA is more of a deep lying playmaker. The problem is we don't have the players that suit a 5 at the back formation. |
| Forum Thread | Would you take Downes back on loan? at 02:49 9 Mar 2024
It seems he will not make the grade at West Ham. Out of all the young high potential kids we had 5 or 6 years ago he has progressed the furthest with the exception of loanees Carter-Vickers and Chalobah. If we are not promoted I think he would be great on loan. If we do get promoted Chalobah would be an excellent loan. [Post edited 9 Mar 2:51]

| Forum Thread | A week ago Jurgen klopp described The Championship as "Insane." at 19:20 7 Mar 2024
He wasn't wrong. Hull who are in a play off place are closer in points to the relegation zone than they are to the automatic promotion places. It is not inconceivable that Sunderland or Boro could be in The Premier League, The Championship or League One next season. In terms of points mid-table is West Brom in 5th down to Cardiff in 10th. I don't remember anything like it. [Post edited 7 Mar 19:24]

If other NATO countries do not pay 3% GDP if he becomes president again not only will he not help defend them he will encourage and support Russia in attacking them. We currently pay about 2.4%. If Russia attacks us will he provide them with assistance in doing so? What a class A Richardhead and masturbater he is. |
| Forum Thread | Schalke 04 in serious danger of going out of business. at 20:44 3 Feb 2024
To put it into perspective, although they have been up and down in the last few years their equivilant English club would be Villa, perhaps Spurs. One of these clubs going bust would unthinkable. They are in serious danger of being relegated to The German 3rd Division in which case they would not be able to sustain their debts. In the last 20 years they have produced excellent players such as Leroy Sane, Manuel Neuer and Leon Goretzka. It goes to show what a big club badly managed can become. https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/schalke-could-go-out-of-business-if-relegated-t [Post edited 3 Feb 20:45]

| Forum Thread | Furthest global domestic away days. at 04:34 16 Jan 2024
I think the current furthest is Perth Glory vs Wellington Phoenix and the furthest possible is FC Dynamo Vladivostk vs FC Baltica Kaliningrad. That is quite a round trip. The current furhest in The England League is Plymouth vs Sunderland with the furthest possible being Jersey Balls vs Carlisle. |

I missed the game today. How did he do/does he have a future playing there? [Post edited 6 Jan 22:18]

| Forum Thread | Our squad depth. at 22:25 1 Jan 2024
Sadly consists of League One players. Are there any decent free agents we can pick up? I know Matthew Longstaff has no club and he was a Newcastle regular a few years back. I know a player who failed to impress at Aberdeen may not seem a good option (he was mainly injured at Mansfield) but If anyone can get him back upto scratch it is KM. He would not be a starter but someone who could be good given time and the right coaching. Worth a trial at least. [Post edited 1 Jan 22:26]

| Forum Thread | Jay Stansfield at 07:07 27 Dec 2023
There seems to be some substance in this rumour. He is a Fulham player on loan at Birmingham but it seems it will be like Broadhead last season where he is recalled and then sold. He has scored 7 in 21 for Brum this season mainly as a sub. He is a youngster and far from the finished article but certainly one for the future and worth a punt. He would not come cheap though, in the 2.5 to 3 million bracket. [Post edited 27 Dec 2023 7:09]

| Forum Thread | Rwanda a safe country? at 16:56 5 Dec 2023
I am not yet 50 but I was an adult when a third of all Rwandans were killed in perhaps the worst genocide in the post war period. Even in the unlikely event that the courts pass this latest cr*p it will be hundreds at most who are sent there for the cost of many millions of pounds. Yesteday Cleverly actually announced some real policy part of it which I actually agreed with. Today he is spending our money on the continuation of this stupid Tory culture war. £Millions of tax payers money to appeal to a few thousand far right morons, I object to that. Cleverly seems just as bad as the rest of them. [Post edited 5 Dec 2023 16:59]

There are calls for the UK to leave, we would be in good company. The only two European countries outside of this treaty apart from kazakhstan that has a tiny part of it's territory in Europe are the bastions of freedom and rights that are Russia and Belarus. Countries with dodgy records like Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and it has to be said The Ukraine are in. Sad state of affairs. [Post edited 17 Nov 2023 7:13]

| Forum Thread | Ice Hockey mansalughter arrest could set a dangerous precedent. at 22:21 14 Nov 2023
I am not sure of the exact details of the arrest butI have seen some footage and it was an accident. If the man is charged and found guilty that would mean a boxer who's apponent dies, a rugby player who has his neck broken in a scrum or a tackle in football where the player falls and hits his head and dies could result in the same charge. Life is a times risky and these things happen. It is very sad but criminal charges should not result. |

Another class youngster who Southgate allowed to slip through England's fingers. Not up to level of Musiala but better than any young English striker coming through the ranks. Both of these lads would have chosen England had they been called up. They were not. [Post edited 12 Nov 2023 20:12]

I was only a baby during the later days of the dark 70s and only remember the later days of the Thatcher reign with any understanding. The governments I do remember well do not even come close to this bunch of *****. Do any older folk here remember anything worse? |

To make it clear I do not like them at all but If Ten hag gets sacked I can see KM being among the favoured targets. I don't think we would turn them down. |
