Him and Pascal were two of our most important players last season, and as you say, the amount of people writing him off is remarkable. He very clearly would start ahead of Milner in that midfield diamond. It's up to him really if he stays or goes. And I think this has always been the case...

Thought Match of the Day were really good on this. Confirmed the ruling quickly, said they'd talked to PGMOL who had clarified that the contact was initiated by DCL in landing on Dunk's foot and also clarified that there is a back up screen and the referee did in fact see it and overturn his...

He has reportedly been offered £325k a week to go to Al-Ahli. I don't think he'd be that important for any Premier League club that could afford those wages and therefore is suddenly a very unattractive prospect. To put it into context, he'll be earning more than any Premier League footballer...

A new conspiracy theory for Swansman!

The funny thing about this is that we literally went to Marseille last season where there 60,000 fans were so loud I couldn't hear the bloke next to me and their team crumbled in the second half under the slightest bit of pressure. For what it is worth, I loved every moment, home and away, of...

Looked like he cramped up in the previous corner. Not had a full preseason probably the right call.

Looked a penalty live (understand the on field call), never a penalty on replay (correct overturn). A really good use of VAR to come to the right decision…

God we really were skint back in the day weren't we?

More this than anything. Only really Palace and Wolves who are considerably weaker than last season.

Agreed, I'd be happy with a comfortable top 12 this year, with a nice cup run and plenty of signs that next season will be special.

That'd surely be up to the medical staff (who are no longer at the club) and the player. Remember listening to someone like Roy Keane say that players will often play through the pain if they feel that they can (see Dunk, and Greer further in the past) but I think it would be negligent from the...

Really? He made his breakthrough under RDZ and was a mainstay in the side when fit. In fact, as we know now, Ferguson was carrying an injury for most of the last half of last season, that eventually ruled him out of the last 9 games. That was the only issue unless I've missed something?

Stand by my second paragraph (though the squad thinness is considerably less of an issue now providing we bring Kadıoğlu in - sort of proves that RDZ was right to say the squad was too thin last year) but comfortably boosted to a 7.5 at this point. I've never experienced such a spending spree...

Maybe use some of that Amazon affiliate money to get David Ornstein/Florian Plettenberg to work exclusively for this site so we can get some actual ITK breaking stuff. I'm getting really tired of Twitter and NSC is still a great tonic to that cesspit when it comes to the Albion. [obviously /s]

It comes from this. Billie T is quite a good aggregator of information for Spurs.

Plus extending Vicente's contract for another year. Even if we'd later find out that it wasn't the wish of the player.

In fairness, Liverpool's record over that period was absolutely insane. They hold the record as the best team not to win the Premier League — accumulating 97 points in 2018-19 and 92 in 2021-22 but coming second in both campaigns. Both of those totals would have won the league in every other...

Wasn't the rumour that there was a bit of a clash internally about Gross at Liverpool? Klopp was a massive fan and there were a bunch of rumours that he was being lined up but I seem to remember reading that "the club" decided that the price we wanted was too high for a player of that calibre...

Garth's team of the week has passed away. RIP u will live on forever. Cant believe it. I wanna run to u. Really cant believe this. @

Biles an absolute superstar. Unmissable. Loved everything about Leon Marchand. Every time he appeared you could hear that rather incredible swell of national pride in the crowds. To have all of that pressure and win 4 x Gold and a Bronze, wow. He also looked genuinely humbled and in awe by it...
