Quite a sad, slow, injury-hit demise for a player who bloody terrorised us, and many others. Almost unplayable on his day, and he had a lot of them. https://www.90min.com/posts/eden-hazard-announces-retirement-football/partners/45362

Apparently, it's Prime Day which means reductions on stuff at Amazon. As ever, I'm not encouraging anyone to shop at Amazon and fully respect those who choose not to. I merely ask the anti-Amazon crowd to respect that if people are considering buying from Amazon anyway, I highlight that buying...

With the Premier League likely to get five Champions League spots, I'm assuming both 6th and 7th would ensure Europa League qualification (someone will quickly correct me on this, I'm sure). The Opta SUPERCOMPUTER currently predicts us finishing 7th - one place worse than last year, obviously -...

I don't care about the players - I'm drained. It's been a frenetic period, and I need a bit of a break. Usually, I wouldn't say I like these early season international breaks - it feels like the season takes ages to get properly going, but on this occasion I'm thankful for it. Two weeks or...

It felt like all 28,000 of us went up, appealing for a penalty. I seemed to have a perfect view of it from the WSU and at no point could I see it had struck his thigh first and, as such, was not a penalty, with Taylor making the right call. At the time, live in the stadium, did you think it...

1. I can't recall a single Bart -> backtracking striker ping along the floor. 2. Groß came deep and central, a lot, to pick the ball up, whilst not being under pressure, and dictating play from there. I know their two goals came from our own ball-playing errors, but these tweaks to the...

What reception will you be giving him?

Only a passing mention... 17-year-old Schalke midfielder Assan Ouedraogo has attracted plenty of interest from a number of Premier League sides, 90min understands. The teenage midfielder became the youngest player in Schalke history when he made his debut in the 2. Bundesliga this season, and...

Anyone on this bus? Looked like fun in there!

I had a little incident with my hire car on a narrow road in Marseille when we got a little bit lost, resulting in our nearly-new car not being quite to pristine when I returned it. :oops: I took out some extra protection/insurance which I believe, at the very least, reduces what it will cost...

Please excuse my tardiness... SATURDAY 7TH OCTOBER Luton Town v Tottenham Hotspur (12:30) - TNT Sports Burnley v Chelsea Everton v AFC Bournemouth Fulham v Sheffield United Manchester United v Brentford Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest (17:30) - Sky Sports SUNDAY 8TH OCTOBER Brighton &...

Can't see that this has been posted, yet, but I suspect I'm not looking hard enough.

Completely random but very funny. I was genuinely concerned he was going to fall off the ledge though, crushing his adoring fans below.

...by a touchy-sounding Wilfried Zaha (remember him?)... “I don't know if you’ve watched Galatasaray matches before but we play in the loudest stadium in the world." I'm guessing Selhurst Park ranks a solid second in the "loudest stadiums in the world" league table...

Check your inbox, and search spam etc for the subject: Marseille Ticket Collection Information

Well, it's nearly upon us... I know @NottinghamGull is out in Marseille already, taking in some rugby ahead of the big game, and I'm guessing a few people may be travelling out tomorrow, so a thread for those out there to share any tips, advice etc that may be helpful for others heading to, or...

First of all, if you put no value on xG at all, please respectfully move on - there's really no need to share that opinion, again. Now that's done... Slightly strange xG output from yesterday, ya think? xG Philosophy: Villa 1.96 - 1.86 Albion Understat: Villa 1.91 - 1.73 Albion FBRef: Villa...

After last season's "What coat is that?"... https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/robertos-choice-of-coat.398901/ ...yesterday's horror show had me mulling what were the trainer-of-choice of our main man. I found a decent picture of him yesterday sitting on a coolbox looking pensive. I won't...

Nah - f*** it.
