Just bouncing this, in case anyone missed it :) A few very generous souls have messaged me with offers of shirts - and if anyone else has an old child's shirt hanging around, please feel free to contact me. I can meet pre-match this evening, or cover postage costs . Many thanks 🙏

True - but we are TEN points behind 7th place....even if a number of things had gone our way, we may have fallen short of 7th.

Help needed! Some on here know that I run a small NGO in Athens (Lighthouse Relief). We provide football sessions for children and young adults living in Ritsona refugee camp, north of Athens. They have an EXTREMELY tough life, but playing football is a great way to help them get a little bit...

I went to a game in Italy a couple of weeks ago and was surprised to find that we could drink in the stands. As we’d been queuing outside in the heat for quite a bit, I had a beer, but we were pretty much the only people drinking in the stands. There were far more people with tiny paper cups of...

Precisely - I really fail to see the logic of those that argue against the current rule. The injury would almost certainly have happened had the Forest player been onside. And why would you only stop play for a potential offside? Surely ANY significant debatable decision should require play to...

We're going for the first time - any tips on the best venues?

It looks like they are VERY focused on the two things which will decide the next election - the economy and immigration. I’m not a fan of some of the rhetoric, but if Labour is to win a second term it absolutely MUST demonstrate that it has brought down net migration. The Tories will struggle to...

This is the problem with populist parties and their leaders....they give voters a potentially enticing opportunity to give someone else a chance. Their main weapon is incredibly simplistic "solutions", lies, cheeky-chappie style bonhomie, etc, etc. They create division and spread...

He was frustratingly hesitant at times though - notably when he decided not to shoot when Sa’s clearance went straight to him. Similarly, when presented with the ball by a spectacularly poor free kick that the Wolves right back took, which went behind his team-mate on the other side of the...

We’re on hols near Verona, and on Sunday we thought we’d go to a footie match. Closest to us was Brescia (Serie B). We pitched up at the ground 45 mins before the game and bought tickets….we had to show ID, our names were printed on our tickets, then had to show ID again at the turnstiles. It...

Stone wall pen. Defender just kicks the attacker’s foot. How in earth could it not be a pen??!!

OK, this season won’t be quite as good as 22/23, our BEST EVER season in 124 years! But it’ll come close. And if you look back at 22/23, we still had a few downers (1-5 at home to Everton, 4-1 loss at Newcastle where we barely got over the halfway line). But the big thing about 22/23 was the...

Well, on Saturday evening I suddenly realised I’d forgotten to put mine and my daughter’s tickets on the exchange (we’re on hols). I quickly did it, and they were both sold within an hour. Maybe I was lucky - but perhaps tickets in the North sell better (as they’re cheaper).

A Spurs win would surely save Ange’s job, which is something to hope for…

Great stuff (the rest as well) 👏

They really are crap.

That guy playing 44 for Villa is an absolute liability!

Who would you suggest plays RB (when all our RBs are injured)?

Do you need the money? If not, volunteering is a great option. I’m extremely fortunate that I have a decent company pension, and was able to choose when I retired. I’ve been volunteering for a small charity in the humanitarian sector for the past 6 years - it’s been incredibly rewarding, and...

Yes, but I thought there was some over-riding principle that clubs had to act in absolute good faith? I guess when you've got the likes of Chelsea and City to deal with, expecting them to do ANYTHING in good faith is a non-starter.
