On the basis that he can bang them in from 25 yards with either foot, is massive and looks quick, I hope this is confirmed tomorrow.

Agree, I think they have added themselves to the clubs we are unlikely to finish above. In my opinion the mini league is: Newcastle West Ham Southampton Palace Albion WBA Burnley Sheff Utd Fulham When you consider that 3 of those teams (Sheff Utd, Southampton and Burnley) finished more than...

Can anyone confirm why they think the Dier handball was a penalty. I presume it was one of these two laws: Touches the ball with their hand/arm when the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger The hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level (unless the player deliberately plays the...

The point is though that Paul Barber (and football collectively as a whole) is saying that finances are tight or impossible. However, there is plenty of money in football. It's the way it is distributed that causes problems. This is a problem that the 'football family' needs to address and they...

I agree and I appreciate its market forces, supply and demand etc. However, Tom Cruise's manager has not e-mailed me recently saying Tom's finances are a bit tight.

Exactly. Its a bit rich anyone in the Premier League (and lots of Championship clubs as well) complaining about finances when the players earn more in a week than most people do in a year. The only thing making Premier League football not sustainable at the moment is player (and staff in some...

Pogacer climbed the Col de Peyresourde in 24 minutes and 35 seconds. The previous record (set in 2003) was 25:22 held jointly by Alexandre Vinokourov and Iban Mayo who were both banned for doping in their careers. In the same race in 2003 Lance Armstrong and Jan Ullrich only ascended the...

I thought this thread was going to be about Nile Ranger describing his footballing decline in musical terms. Then I realised, wrong Nile.

I think they must be very short of books to review in this months issue. They have resorted to reviewing some tedious football finance book.

Thanks, signed up.

Why is there no NSC League?

We hear the term 'tactically naive' a lot particularly on radio phone ins but how exactly do we judge whether someone is tactically naive? In most cases (and I suspect in this case), the person making the comment is likely to have a tiny fraction of the tactical footballing experience of the...

Agree about the editorial control which I guess is why Pochettino hardly features. I thought a few interesting bits accidentally made it into the first 2 episodes. Jose telling Dele Alli he was lazy in training in a jocular fashion when he clearly meant it. Eric Dier looks overweight by...

Just signed up.

I may be being dim here but I don't see how this will work in practice. Lets say for arguments sake there are 5000 seats available (i am ignoring price bands for the moment). You can't draw 5000 season ticket holder names from a hat as some of those will be in groups and you will end up with...

I told you he was getting new blinds.

It would also help explain different levels in the scale and severity of infections in broad geographical areas around the world. I presume the cold viruses that may be providing protection are not evenly distributed around the world. Areas of the world where they are more prevalent should be...

With respect, Spanish flu was caused by an influenza virus and not a corona virus. For those interested, here is a summary of one report on pre exsiting immunity to COVID 19. Many unknowns exist about human immune responses to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 reactive CD4+ T cells have been...

I really can't understand why the club thinks its OK to force people into a ballot for tickets they do not want (on health grounds). In contrast, the company I work for (which in the past has not been a shining light of employee relations) has stated that staff working from home only need to...

Can't see this discussed on here so far - sorry if it has. It's the XYZ theory of herd immunity for which there are a growing number of scientific papers in support of. It works like this. X, Y and Z are three variables. Z is the % of the population who have had COVID 19 and developed...
