What was incredible in that game was sections of the Newcastle crowd booing (mixed race, braided hair, clean shaven) Samuel Edozie because they thought it was the (white, greasy long straight hair and a beard) Brereton-Diaz. I mean, I know some of them sit about 400m from the pitch at St James's...
I mean, they did. They could both have gone off, or both got yellows. The fact that Brereton-Diaz pretended to be hurt is what made the decision for the ref.
As for Matty Cash, I have a quite irrational dislike for him on the basis that he has terrible hair, is basically a Temu Jack Grealish...
Horrible injury for Danilo of Forest early on. Possibly from one of those passages of play that everyone knows is offside but they have to keep running until the phase is over. If that is the case, they'll be fuming (I know Forest are always fuming with officials, but even more so).
Schär of...
Thanks. I realise footballer wages will have risen out of all proportion to the average wage since the PL TV deals, but I was curious as to how well off a First Division footballer would have been considered in 1980.
Reasonably well off, seems to be the answer, but not so much so that you'd...
How does that £352 per week that a top division footballer was earning in 1980 compare to the weekly wage of the average person back then? And the £59k per week they earn now in the same context?
Perhaps the add-ons included "£2 million if The RB Leeds win the Premier League title, and another £20 million to be paid when they win the Champions League".
I knew there was one I'd forgotten! We'll have to rebrand a small corner of Hove "Little Amsterdam" soon.
Minus the coffee shops and brothels, of course.
I wish I could find it, but I saw a post on Twitter earlier about why this might be, and it was around permitted squad costs or something coming into play next year, so perhaps it's us trying to get a squad together now that could leave us in a solid position when that happens.
Ah ok, yeah that was my assumption, given that school kids in the Netherlands all learn English to a very high standard. Surprising that he's doing that interview with a Turkish TV channel in English, but then again his parents are Turkish and Dutch-Canadian, so maybe growing up in Arnhem, he...
Right, I confess I was a tad underwhelmed when the Rutter link first appeared a month or so ago, largely because I had it in my head that he was a failed striker and not one of The RB Leeds' best players.
But I've watched a lot of videos today and there's an awful lot to like about him if you...
If this goes through, we're going to have to start calling it Türkiye, out of respect.
Kadıoğlu grew up in the Netherlands, fact fans, and only moved to Istanbul when he was about 21, to join Fenerbahce. Thus I am assuming he speaks Dutch and excellent English, as well as Turkish. Good news for...
If Caicedo had been offered Manchester United while he was still in Ecuador, he and his Mum and 11 brothers and sisters would have been on a flight out of Quito before you could say "Ruud van Nistelrooy". He was a lifelong United fan, don't you remember? Before he remembered he was a lifelong...
Being reported today that we're hanging on to him until Bart is fit, then he'll go out on loan again.
Right now, it feels like this has Leeds United all over it. Meslier has been crap for three seasons now, they have money to pay wages for the right player, and they're a promotion-seeking side...
Of course there are. The police have to investigate sudden deaths and provide reports for HM Coroner, who will then hold an inquest.
Sadly the coast of East Sussex, with its many high cliffs, has always been a favoured spot for those who feel they can't do it any more. Last time I looked, the...
