This looks extremely exciting for an early pre-season game, doesn’t it! Many of the youngsters look so promising. Osman’s strength is impressive. Young Van Hecke a seasoned pro.
Expecting a change of 10 or 11 players at half time, both to see as many as possible play and to not risk heat stroke for the poor pale brits in the team. :)
Also wouldn't be surprised if Fabian took this opportunity to award players who have shown the most intensity in practice with a starting...
It depends a bit on which VPN provider you're using, and what kind of detection Amazon are using, but it might be that they've simply identified certain servers in Japan as VPN servers based on traffic patterns, and those will be blocked.
So if you're lucky it might work to disconnect and...
Now that you asked I did five minutes of googling, and it seems you’re right. I can’t find proper confirmation anywhere, just speculation.
I was so sure it was a sure thing, but I’ve certainly never won any awards for an amazing memory, apologies for spreading misinformation!
As someone who's suffered the long-term fatigue effects of glandular fever (one/two out of ten seem to end up with them) I'm amazed Evan even made it to the bench at the tail end of 2003/beginning of 2024. Most days I decided against leaving bed for the 20 second trip to the bathroom to pour...
Reading my post again I feel like I’m arguing against myself a bit there, I really should stay away from forums after a few pints!
Buy yeah, I 100% agree with you that there’s no way that he was sold for anywhere close to what he was bought for. I’d be very surprised if the scraped together...

He must have been pretty darn underwhelming to be shipped off like this, for sure. But knowing (or at least pretending to) Tony Bloom there must have been a pretty significant sell-on clause, or even buy-back, that will soften the blow eventually.
And I believe you’re underselling...
True. But weirdly enough it makes me almost as happy if/when we manage to unload fringes players this windows, as when we sign them. So much easier to buy players than sell them, and still a very bloated squad.
Has there been any word of the Japan games will be streamed? It seems to be quite the big occasion over there, so feels like there should be interesting enough.
I'm extremely excited about the whole damn thing, and I find myself looking just as much forward to the Japan tour as the Man U game in August. Can't wait to get a first look at Fabian's tactics and just how much it will confuse the opposition (and probably our own guys initially as well)...
Here's a quick and dirty translation (I might as well do something useful with my insomnia).
As far as these kind of announcements go from Swedish clubs, I'd say it's unusually heartfelt, not sure if it comes across in the translation.
Malick Yalcouyé to Brighton
Sold to the Premier League...
I believe he was considered Mitoma’s understudy until the injuries started piling up last year, hard to say with all the new faces now! But from watching a few St Pauli games recently, I wouldn’t be surprised to see all the six names you mentioned on the pitch at the same time at some point :)
As a neutral all I can say is thank you England for finally entertaining us! :D This looks like it will be a proper game. Look at you lot pressing high!
Awesome.
(can't decide which ones I'm supporting tonight with one Seagull in each team, just hoping it's an "honourable defeat" for whichever...
I’m surprised how little faith many seem to have in our current defenders. Sure, the stats were horrible last year, but wasn’t that mostly down to RDZ’s setup - as long as we’d score more than the opponent we were happy to sacrifice a few goals in the other end.
Webster and Igor for example are...
