    1920/21 season, Blandford Tournament, history buffs

    Got sent this earlier, and it kinda threw me, wondered if any of y guys knew anything more about it. Firstly was strange that we have black stripes, but I saw Heron and Kitcher in there so am sure it's us. Not sure what the trophies are down the front, and especially intrigued by the Blandford...

    Non - Everton Stadium

    https://www.soccerbible.com/news/2019/12/everton-reveal-final-designs-for-new-stadium-on-liverpools-waterfront/ Good looking plans, mayor is a bluenose so they'll go through without any issues, plus they just had a huge loan/grant from council last year as well, so they have some advantages we...

    January '20 - Transfers, Rumours, Idle Speculation

    Why not? It's getting close and the stuff on the pitch isn't inspiring me much Ins Ivan Toney - scoring goals at Posh, rumoured to be tracking him, they want 13M Alfredo Morelos - Could sign pre-agreement in Jan, can score, could keep Jeff company Ollie Watkins - U25, plays anywhere up top, in...

    Hivemind Harry Help

    I mentioned something online but now worry I'm wrong. Probably Championship season, possibly first Premier League one, not sure. Anyway Harry Arter was serving a suspension (cumulative yellows if I recall correctly) and in the tunnel at half or full time managed to get booked/sent...

    Sheff Utd - Bias Buster - Numbers and Stuff

    So we've all got thoughts on what happened Saturday, what went wrong, who was to blame, what went right. I've been poring over the figures, at least the ones that are public. Taught myself how to use some imaging stuff so I could create a bunch of overlays as well. If any of you guys find this...

    Bartłomiej Drągowski

    Just seen a rumour we're in for him. Upset fans 'up the road' as they're supposedly sorting out personal terms. This would make badkeeper happy, I recall him being mentioned by him a couple of years ago, he's a bit older now, but no idea whether he's fulfilled the potential seen by badkeeper...

    Howe - Times Article

    Nothing hugely new but hey, here you https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/eddie-howes-greatest-challenge-at-bournemouth-is-how-to-reboot-himself-3rbt6q7w6 What happened at Barça was not that I failed to motivate them. No, I failed to seduce them. I had introduced a million tiny tactical...

    Perfect Summer

    Time to look to next season. What would be your perfect summer wheelings and dealings. Obviously keeping the hlguys that attract interest has to be priority number 1, but beyond that who do you fancy? For me I've no problem losing most of those outside the PL25 squad, and doubt I'd shed tears...

    Change at the Top?

    No one is more grateful for what he's done. I initially scoffed when I read that he harboured European ambitions for the club, back in League One, but the next level of investment required isn't restricted by FFP, but it isn't currently happening Thinking about SJLs post in the Wilson thread...

    Protection For Keepers

    No sour grapes here, and I played in goal a few times before my teens, but looking at that Allison claim, and thinking about some other events recently, do we protect keepers too much? The phrase leading with the elbow meant that outfield players changed the way they jump for the ball. It's...

    Connor Roberts

    Having a very good season with Swansea and Wales. Is young enough to develop but old enough to play. Would help strengthen relationship with David Brooks. Out of contract in the summer. Is very likely to play given Smith's injury. Plays anywhere in the right. Rarely gives the ball away. Already...

    Yay for Kickyball, and 'hip, hip' for 'South Coast Club'

    Like all of us 'Cherries' I'm well aware of the history of Association Football, and how it was invented at Craven Cottage one Friday evening in March 2015. I was initially surprised that such a young sport had such a large following. But luckily it seems that there's a few lads calling...

    NON - Loan Limits

    So it looks like this will finally be forced through. Just hope the limit is a sensible figure. We need our young players to develop, and they can only do that playing competitive football. Will there be a lower limit, as the younger youth players often have spells with the Poppies, the Terras...

    Non - Welcome

    Might be my imagination (it isn't) but I've noticed a lot more low count posters posting recently. I imagine a lot of them have been lurking for a while so I won't call them new members. Don't know if this place got friendlier recently, or just people have more things to say. Either way it's...

    Non - Curmudgeons?

    Ticket delivery help

    Hi all, I have a ticket but unfortunately it's in moordown, and I'm in London. If any of you lovely folk that are travelling up are in moordown regularly and could pick it up for me, you'll have my gratitude and a few beers. Fingers crossed

    Latch catches the sun

    Tom interviewing JT pretty interesting, nothing ground breaking but a little realism around the training ground and stadium. Not the tone I wanted to hear but I guess they'll tell us if and when they know former deadlines will be slipped

    Referee - You're abysmal

    So we all know we don't get the run if the green, and if key decisions had been made correctly it seems we would have finished comfortably top half. I notice that Man Utd would slip two places because the big teams get the decisions. Anyway might be interesting in this 'football perineum'...
