    Former Player Appreciation Thread

    Being challenged on his behaviour is fine - he had to expect that was going to happen. He was challenged on it and admitted he was absolutely wrong. He's paid a heavy price for it. I don't see what the point was on continuing to challenge him on it for the whole interview other than to virtue...

    Former Player Appreciation Thread

    He’s chosen to go on tv and be interviewed for the first time so I think he could have expected some of what he got even if, essentially, it’s not really my business. Taking Jenas at face value, he’s been at rock bottom which is a place many men find themselves and often through little or no...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Didi Hamann had a proper go at Qatar at half time saying they aren’t good enough to be there on Irish tv. Turns out they have about 25% possession. Isn’t that similar to Woolwich in the CL final?

    Former Player Appreciation Thread

    Jenas got a bit of a going over on GMB. Thought he was quite articulate to be fair. The interviewer in green really wanted to trip him up and haul him over the coals. In fairness to Jenas, he accepted he was wrong and seemed concerned for the impact on his family. At the end of the day, for me...

    Have to be fair to them, the recruitment strategy seems to be changing. Higher wages. Got in two targets already who aren't our typical player profile. Looks like it gives us better characters in the dressing room. Binned off Bissouma without activating the clause to try and wangle a fee. All...

    Cristian Romero

    The data is already visible. PGMOL publish stats about how many VAR calls are deemed right and wrong. Even then, as @Bishop says, there is subjectivity with some decisions. You can see that when the 5 man panel reviews the decisions - it's often 3-2 or 4-1. The pitch side analyst? Ah stop. The...

    Glenn Hoddle (genius)

    Neil Webb and Trevor Steven were two very good players but on what planet do they get in any team ahead of Glenn Hoddle? The 80s, particularly the late 80s, sometimes get derided for its reliance on POMO and Charles Hughes’ ideas. The way Hoddle was treated by England’s national team is a...

    Christian Eriksen

    Very sad. Presumably the medical people will tell him it’s time to retire and hopefully he will if that’s the case. Tough though. Having something he loves taken away from him forever in this way is a bit cruel. That said, obviously, there’s a lot more to life.

    How did we get Jürgen Klinsmann?

    Before my time but I'd imagine it was huge in 1978 and bloody ambitious by the club. We dared and we did when we got Greaves in the 60s, Ardiles & Villa in the 70s, Lineker and Gazza in the 80s and Jurgen in the 90s. Not sure we've dared much in the market since then.

    Liverpool thread

    Want him to fail because it's The Dippers but will be interested to see how this goes. After seeing a host of managers from that sort of profile of club fail at big clubs (Hodgson, Moyes, Nuno, Potter, Frank), I wonder if he'll be more like them or Pochettino. He does play better football than...

    Liverpool thread

    Fair play. I hate the Dippers with a passion but I do feel uncomfortable with anyone passing judgement on how they should have dealt with Jota's death or on the impact it had. That said, I was very impressed with the fact that I didn't see a single bricky post, WhatsApp, meme etc. about Jota's...

    He does hate us and that winds me up a bit coz he stole a wage from us for 4 years but he has grown on me. Him and O'Hara are funny if you refuse to take them too seriously.

    Champions League 25/26

    You get consistency but you'll get some daft decisions too like the Dier one or the handball against Lucas Moura when he was shoved to the ground against Sheffield United (which wasn't a penalty but was one of the most ridiculous decisions I've ever seen on a pitch). I'm just mentioning those...

    They have their parade today don't they? fudging beautiful that. I'm sure they'll still celebrate their PL win but having to go to a parade the day after losing the CL final would be a bit of a tinkler.

    Champions League 25/26

    "Intentional" is subjective though. You can't see what's going on in a player's head. It'll lead to inconsistency. Any contact being a penalty is also not the solution. See Eric Dier v Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Not sure what the answer is. Not sure there is a perfect one. I'd be happy with the refs making a...

    Champions League 25/26

    Sound was off where I was watching it but I assumed he blew because of the time Woolwich were taking to actually take the corner? If so, good on him. They get away with too much of that brick in the league.

    He fudging deliberately grabbed the Paris lad. Mind boggling given he was almost in behind him.

    Champions League 25/26

    It was an horrendous final, proper eyesore. But it was because Woolwich really dragged PSG down to their level. You could see PSG trying to play ball and probing and Woolwich were set up to just defend their box. A fudging travesty of a football team. Delighted they got beat and it warmed my...
