My expectation is that Bissouma would like to go to the continent to play his prime years in Spain or Italy, and would be prepared to let his contract run down so those clubs can afford him - unless very clear release clauses in a new contract. I would be surprised if he ties himself to a...

On they other hand, having managed Messi for many years, Pep must be excited by the idea of managing Ronaldo. Meanwhile he has just said he's only going to be at City for two more seasons so long term thinking isn't as much in his mind. And even if Pep doesn't want him, the owners may say "f*ck...

The ban on bottle tops will seem very sensible and prescient if that happens

Drawn one lost four, GD - 9, unless I'm mistaken

I guess his life has hit a rut and he feels like he deserves something from his one moment of game, considering that so many others have made a lot of money out of it, the image is iconic even if it's obviously the music that made it such a great album. Probably he wanted to claim some royalties...

So, all BHA specs off, Yves Bissouma v Kalvin Phillips, how do they compare? Both outstanding defensive midfielders, extremely calm on the ball, break up play, great range of passing, like to burst forward with the ball, both critical to their respective teams, only a few months between them in...

Sorry sorry sorry. It was late and I've had a few and I really have very little recollection of Nathan Elder at the Albion at all, although I was surprised to see him on the list as I don't remember him being particularly young, which of course he wasn't. So yes, a completely idiotic faux pas...

Fairy nuff. So is it Caicedo, Mwepu, Bissouma, Mac Allister affected? Anyone else?

Khadra is our youngest ever PL player at 19 yrs 6 months, so that record could well go soon

Yeah, born 31 May 1970, debut in February 1987 so 16 yrs 8 months

Jake Robinson was 16 and 10 and a bit months when he made his debut, we'd have to check the days to see who comes out on top

So what now happens if the player wants to go? It's one thing Salah missing an Egypt game, he'll be picked next time regardless. But for someone like Alzate, he probably won't play for us AND will miss out on solidifying his place in the Colombia squad. He'll be a bit gutted I expect. Also...

Whenever I read comments like this I smile and think of Steve Mounie

Arsenal are finding themselves in the same place that Villa, Leeds and Newcastle have found themselves at various points in the last couple of decades. Considering themselves challengers for the top of the table and desperately trying to keep up with the mega spenders, leading to ever-increasing...

:D Exeter were kind of a second team for me then, as I was living nearby and my daughter playing youth football for them. Ryan Harley was, lets make no bones about it, absolutely BRILLIANT for them and I was so excited we signed him. Then sitting near front row in the lower north west corner...

yeah, I agree, but thats just from a perspective of us looking nice playing it - but I can see Potter trying different ideas... the case to change: 1. The formation suited our strengths and weaknesses last season: five at the back was perfect for Ben White, as he wasn't (isn't) a good enough...

I completely agree that that's what it looks like, him throwing his leg that way makes it look deliberate and why the red was shown. I just don't think it was deliberate, I think it was part a stumble and perhaps part he's trying to put his foot that side of the ball to shield the ball from the...

My feeling is that we'll play a four at the back more often this season, so Cucu at LB and March wide-left could be a regular formation. You could also turn that into a back-5 if desired, with March as wing-back and Cucu as a left-sided CB - or maybe there will simply be some serious competition...

I kind of think that he didn't mean it. It certainly looked like he did, but I reckon he stumbled into him by accident. He was going at some pace when he did, the full-speed replays look pretty innocent compared to the slowed down ones where he looks bang to rights.
