    Erik Ten Hag

    He never did. Oh my god, Antony would be playing in the Belgian league if it wasn’t for Ten Hag’s patronage!

    Famous Celebrities That Are Considered Hot But Don't Do It For You?

    Megan Fox, to me she’s quite generic and plain. Never saw the fuss at all. Also Rhianna’s head is too big and all of the Jenner / Kardashians / Hadids are an over-surgeried freak show. Jennifer Lawrence and Margot Robbie, however, are staggeringly gorgeous.

    Biggest bargain in football history

    If we’re talking about absurd fees, Seamus Coleman cost £60,000, 16 seasons, more than 400 appearances, loads as captain.

    Dean Windass to sue football authorities

    Dementia is one of the most horrendous diseases and CTE is a ticking time bomb, I read a bunch of research about it in sport a few years ago. What is interesting is that CTE seems to be caused by lots and lots of mini-traumas, especially bad if you are already suffering from concussion and...

    Spending Cap from season - 2025-2026

    Firstly, if they're actually going to do it and not just pay lip service to the idea of sustainability and equitability, then coupling up wages, transfer and agent fees is the way to do it, so I applaud them for that at least. At the minute with PSR it's just transfer fees, which is daft as it's...

    Steve Gibson's fmttm Q and A - Thursday

    Really good point that - I’m old enough to remember French, Portuguese, German, Danish, Spanish and now Dutch managers being dead trendy. English managers have never been “in fashion”. Usually starts with a Wenger, Mourinho, a Pep or a Klopp; and then suddenly every club ends up with a David...

    Steve Gibson's fmttm Q and A - Thursday

    In retrospect Harry Redknapp and Brendan Rodgers were the closest two homegrown managers to breaking through. Redknapp had Spurs purring and Rodgers nearly won the league. I love Moyes, but his failure at United (despite massively overachieving everywhere else) will have burnt a few fingers...

    Steve Gibson's fmttm Q and A - Thursday

    I think it’s an interesting question, and well framed. You’re not asking him to sell the club, “can you describe the circumstances” is a perfect way to put it - an owner can perhaps suck up losing £20m a year but would baulk at £100m, £200m whatever. It’s interesting to get a sense of if he...

    Danny Murphy’s disparaging comments about Everton last night

    West Ham fans are chasing Moyes out this summer after getting into Europe 3 years in a row and winning a European trophy. Oh and they’re currently 8th, above loads of media darlings and on course for Europe again. I can’t wait for them to enjoy their expansive, attacking football finishing...

    Steve Gibson's fmttm Q and A - Thursday

    Interesting about how much he rates Strachan as a person. Very interesting about the Chinese billionaire who now owns Barnsley. Did he expand on that at all?

    :LOL: Nah, we did this in Thornaby as well. You’ve just awakened a great memory.

    Steve Gibson's fmttm Q and A - Thursday

    Great that it’s happening and well done for organising Rob (y) Shame it’s not streaming, I’d happily kick in a fiver to watch. I don’t quite understand what you mean by we all know how these things work? Unless you mean he’ll be less guarded if it’s not being recorded? For me, I think it’s more...

    FA Cup replays scrapped.

    It’s a sad thing. Someone did the numbers somewhere and worked out that it averages about one L1 or below team who get a replay against a PL team every season, so a windfall of about £1m. That’s a lot for a L1 club, transformative for a non-league team as it can pay for them for 5 years. So yeah...

    FA Cup replays scrapped.

    It’s a great point. If you whinge about fixture congestion then take your first team squad to Australia or Japan or Saudi for a few money spinning friendlies, either mid season or after, you’ve forfeited your right to whinge about fixture congestion.

    "Are you kidding me!?!" - Great catch

    :LOL: Made me laugh and got me thinking. Apart from the fact that I can’t ice skate, I reckon the one I’d least like to play because of difficulty and pain would be NFL. So fast and so violent.

    Magazines You Miss

    Bit of a magazine nerd, Your Sinclair was my favourite. The one I really miss, and that has never been replaced, was Time Out with its comprehensive and brilliant listings of things to do. If I arrived in London or Barcelona or New York, first thing I would do would be buy a copy of Time Out...
