    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    The backlash was too big for Raith ****ing Rovers and United seem to seriously think they can push past it. Nothing should surprise me about our levels of executive incompetence by now but Jesus ****ing Christ.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    I can't remember a club ever paying someone off in similar circumstances. If they get a contract elsewhere, as Greenwood would, it's a bit like giving out a Domestic Abuser bonus.

    Official Rugby Thread

    I'm not entirely unsympathetic to Farrell, it's obviously instinctive because no one would "decide" to make a tackle like that in a grim WC warm-up game. But if he physically can't stop himself headhunting then it's not fair to ask opponents to share the pitch with him.

    Sunderland, Hartlepool and any other football related stuff from any league or country for season 23/24

    What did Sunderland fans make of Sunderland Til I Die? I thought it was by far the best of the recent football documentary series, at least of the ones I watched, but the unintentional comedy must hit differently when you're a fan.

    Well they’re back together and she’s pregnant with his child, so it would be a bit awkward if she hadn’t. I think they’re going to try to reinstate him because it’s such a ****ing stupid club but they’ll surely never get past the backlash.

    2023 FIFA Women's World Cup

    I'm not bagging on you for being bad at football. It's just that you so obviously have no idea what's hard and what isn't. There are chances professional footballers miss sometimes that are genuinely easy. But nobody in the world is good enough to score that chance even 50% of the time, and if...

    2023 FIFA Women's World Cup

    I want to see social try to score that. 95% chance he'd fail to make contact with the ball. Footy thread regulars will know that non-footballers thinking headed chances are easy is a gear-grinder for me.

    Lol yeah you're right, my bad. The post above your post about being knocked back was about Mbappe.

    Lol he's the best player in the world by miles.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Yeah I agree. It's a massive flaw in the application of the rules. I've been complaining about it for years. NGL though I'd have been annoyed if last night was the game where they suddenly decided to fix it.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    I thought it was a battering, just rescued by Wolves’ poor finishing. Winning like that is fine in May but on opening day it’s a bad sign. The Onana ‘challenge’ is a blatant foul that almost never gets given. With VAR they suddenly have to justify nonsensical unwritten rules like ‘keepers are...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Haha exactly. They get booed off at half time if they're 0-0 against a tough team, the atmosphere can turn toxic so quickly. Levy isn't as bad an owner as people think but I definitely don't trust him to have reasonable expectations. But then Arsenal used to be even worse and they managed to...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Postecoglu is really depending on the expectations around Spurs having adjusted to the reality of the quality of their players. It's the 7th best squad at best which often means spending some of the season around 11th or 12th, but that might get him fired if the fans and ownership still think...

    Pool B - South Africa, Ireland, Scotland, Tonga, Romania

    Having one of the tougher group games to finish is also something that caused us huge problems in 2015. We might need to battle through a must-win game against Scotland and then meet a NZ team fresh off a game with Uruguay and a couple of days extra rest. It's not supposed to be easy though...

    Pool B - South Africa, Ireland, Scotland, Tonga, Romania

    Going out in the group stages with this team would be ****ing brutal, but it’s a real possibility. I can see three teams ending with three wins each and someone going out with only one loss.

    Pool A - New Zealand, France, Italy, Uruguay, Namibia

    Kicking off with a massive game is a great idea. So good for building hype.

    Yeah it’s not that I think he’s completely useless, I just think Spurs is his level.

    Paqueta looked disgustingly good for the last few months of last season. One of those players who maybe hasn’t quite found their most effective role yet but when you watch them you instantly spot that their technique is on another level. Type of player scouts fall in love with.

    That record would just be an embarrassment if he ended up with zero trophies.
