I read something a long time ago about how the astronauts didn't take very good photos of each other. NASA ended up using mock photos that they did when practicing and sent then as part of their press release. In later years under scrutiny its clear the photos weren't taken on the moon which...
I remember a few years back I was visiting a mate of mine who lived in Camden. We were walking along on a Saturday morning and my mate pointed out the singer David Gray walking past. I rather nonchalantly declared that "celebrities" aren't something I'm really bothered about. About three...
After you posted this a few months back, I read up on "The Roads to Sata" and decided to buy it. Its been sat in my "to read" pile until last week. I finished it last night and I absolutely love this book. Thanks for posting on here, because I wouldn't have come across it otherwise. I thoroughly...
I find Arsenal fans to be the most annoying, self entitled fans in the Prem. People give a lot of stick to Man Utd fans, but I think nearly all of them accepted the goal to put them 2-1 up against was offside. I've always found Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City, Spurs fans to be pretty sensible...
He's the perfect example of how being patient with a young player and accepting that they may make mistakes, pays off over time. When you think that we have players like Hinshelwood (19), Buonanotte (19), Ferguson (19), Baleba (20), Barco (20), that are already at a a fantastic level. I have no...
Did you ever see that Zidane film, when he was playing at Real Madrid? It was sort of a pre player cam film about Zidane, that just followed him around the pitch for the whole game. The thing that really struck me about it was how surprisingly lazy Zidane was, he seemed to stroll around a lot...
Ironically Rice going down like a sack of s*** drew the refs attention to the incident. And as he kicked the ball away first, that's what the ref responded to. If he had stood up and walked away, the ref might have ignored it all.
I said it the other week when we got drawn against them, and there was a bit of a Crawley love in from a few of our fans, but I'll say it again, f**k Crawley!
Very much enjoying his cry baby antics.
I don't want Adingra to leave, but if he did end up going to Arsenal I would take a lot of satisfaction knowing that Trossard wouldn't like more competition for places.
I think you've merged a couple of transfer windows together there. But you're right that was a massive window for us. That first season back at Withdean, we got Rogers, Kuipers, Watson, Jones, Carpenter etc, we also got Oatway, Carr, Crosby, Newhouse, Cameron, Freeman, Cartwright in goal. I...
Connor Goldson was unfortunate I think. Because he looked great before he had his heart problem. We then brought Duffy in to play alongside Dunk, and we looked very physical at the back. But Goldson at that point in time was a better passer of the ball than both of them (although Dunk has since...
I mentioned on the Rutter thread, I was chatting to someone who works for the club and they said that internally the club's ambition is to be in the Champions League by 2030. Which seems to fit with the scale and magnitude of our summer transfer window. We're building a squad here that is going...
Sue Smith, the sky pundit and Everton fan, thinks it was a penalty. She said "Dunk going down early stops Calvert-Lewin being able to take a shot.".
Yes, that's called defending Sue.
But that's the thing, mutually terminating a contract for a player they paid £47.5 million for and is on 300K a week, is a massive hit for FFP. I know Chelsea don't seem to care about that much. But even they must concede it would like throwing money down the drain.
