So the el clasico matches will obviously the first to be shunted across to NY / LA no doubt, it’s depressing almost like the migration of the game to all things money and American.

My only problem with him is that he seems very lightweight which translates into being easy to push off the ball. Don’t get me wrong I do like him purely from the standpoint he offers cover in many positions and is obviously better than Barlaser but I’d take O’Hare over him any day. Personally...

Clearly we’ve been stiffed more times this season than we’ve had situations go for us. May I remind everyone that refs are now paid decent wages. Back in the day when they were amateurs we gave them the benefit of doubt because we knew they were doing it for the love of the game. However...

Just when we think VAR has gotten better we get a game like Everton v Forest where it takes us back to the point of discussion. The problem is for me at least that all sports which have instant replay have the same issue and that is arbitrary fouls cannot be ruled fairly for or against and...

Gen X should understand back when Dads Army first hit the TV screens we only had 3 TV channels so it wasn’t a case back then whether or not you liked it, you watched it because there was no other choices. Fast forward 50 years later and now TV is like walking into a supermarket, where you can...

always said that Villa’s signing of Martinez was probably their signing of the season a few years ago, how the Gooners have regretted that decision.

Like the jingle “small town in Europe” still applies to the Boro

Their fluky win against Manure has certainly upped their confidence and work rate although some of Everton’s defending tonight was beyond pathetic.

No denying that Palmer is definitely making some noise but Foden probably has the edge in experience and maybe creativity.

Amazing

Many teams have worked out the FFP pitfalls and are willing to take the hit when it occurs as it really doesnt damage them financially, only maybe morally. FFP has to inflict tougher sentences but I don’t see it happening.

It’s what you might call investing in your future

We’re all with you Viv, I’m sure you’re in good hands and we’re all thinking of you. UTB!!
