If they don't promote it as the "Bourne In The USA" tour I shall be very disappointed...

Had someone bail in a chain a week before it was all set to happen causing the whole thing to collapse. Was having to move a business across the country at the same time, and had a newborn in the house so the stress levels it created were off the scale. On reflection, I think that was maybe...

'define class' 1. An ability to transcend the expected on the football pitch eg Yann Kermorgant laying off a pass using his back. 2. Sharing your success with others, acknowledging their contribution to get you there eg Eddie Howe insisting on all the backroom staff being a part of his Manager...

Ahh yes, Brighton. That example of the system working to help a small club get from near the bottom to somewhere near the top all thanks to the redistribution of PL wealth (please overlook the £500m or so the owner put into them to get them there, that doesn't count). And yes, I know we've had...

Next manager odds at Liverpool. AI even makes the top 8. Football is weird sometimes but I can't see GON at Liverpool. His safety first approach would not go down there well and he doesn't have anything like the profile their fans would expect.

£4m for the front of shirt and £1 m for the sleeve according to this: https://www.olbg.com/blogs/premier-league-shirt-deals-compared-how-much-each-team-earns-season I think there's going to be a significant shift in those now Jim is on the case. Look at Fulham, for example, with £10m for their...

Interesting to read a current PL player admitting some of them are unsure if the rules now: https://archive.ph/2fISG

Thought it was interesting that McKenna made the bench ahead of any of the other options, both keeper and outfield. Maybe an indication that he's already made a big impression since arriving and they have big plans for him? Normally keepers break through later but Donnarumma became first choice...

Carved out a very decent looking post-playing career for himself, from the looks of it.

The story came from L'Equipe and that's usually pretty reliable.

Young centre back with some pedigree. We definitely need at least one arrival there this summer.

Worst points per game record of any PL manager in charge for 50+ games. https://www.football365.com/news/10-worst-premier-league-managers-all-time-parker-mccarthy Yet two promotions on his CV... I'd guess a Championship team will take a chance on him this summer.

I'm guessing that if they get relegated, Forest will be trying to copy that case from Belgium that saw a match replayed. Sigh. The thing is, I've advocated the club speaking up before (or rather, the manager) when we got a seemingly endless run of **************** decisions. There is something to be said...

Haven't read the thread to see the criticism but we looked much worse when Aarons came on for Smith. Aarons didn't get forward at all. Maybe a tactical instruction but I thought that was one of the big differences between the two halves. It was a tough match for Smith, but I thought he was...
