  1. We have been away, haven't we? Interesting that there hasn't been a scrap of content.

    Nothing, he's 0 for 2 in terms of winning a competition where there was a realistic chance of doing so. But that doesn't mean he isn't the most successful manager in generations; getting to the Euros final is statistically the best achievement of any manager since '66. I've never, ever bought the favourable draws angle and never will. Anyone can beat anyone at that level, and England have historically underachieved - until Southgate, where we've performed at Par or better. Not to mention we were knocked out by Iceland the competition before he came in.

    What an absolutely brilliant and optimistic read that was. After a lot of downbeat stories this year, that was a timely reminder that the club is a thousand times better than the festering footballing cesspit it was pre-takeover. I loved all of that but found the 'football adjacent' stuff particularly interesting. Stories like the Greenwood case really amplify the responsibility on clubs to ensure that young footballers are nurtered into becoming decent human beings too.

    What's that based on? The one time Potter stepped up to a big job he had a nightmare whereas Southgate is the most successful England manager in generations.

    4 mins. I'm misremembering; wasn't outside the box.

    Did for us too, didn't he, vs Blackburn? Souness said it was 'poxy'.
  7. Joins Pope, Trippier, Livramento, Botman, Barnes, Joelinton and Wilson on the known injury list.

    I like it but I must be colour blind cos I really cannot identify the colour purple there.

    Sweden didn't qualify for the Euros. 👌
  11. It's smart enough but it's incredibly basic, like they didn't unlock Pro designs on whatever tool they were using. Like that Puma one in the Covid season where they didn't even bother with a collar.
  12. I get the argument re the ESL Six but surely the greatest beneficiary of FFP is Kieran Maguire?

    The gear is looking absolutely banging though personally I don't love the texture, certainly as it appears on the home. Makes it look like a cricket jumper. Having recently deviated from DHGate to picking up cheap genuines off Vinted, you can tell the difference been fakes and the manufacture-made ones, and tbh I'd love to pick one of those aways up. But the prices are an utter, utter disgrace. For all they're better than the fakes, they're not £60/70 better. They're worth £40 at the absolute limit. Absolute scandal. Winds me up no end.
  14. Would be brilliant to have you there. @HaydnNUFC, we're gonna have words, son...
  15. Sick of reading this, mind. As if anyone at the top of the game thinks like this when they're still in the FA Cup and still in European contention.
