He’s definitely better on the left. He needs time to adjust to playing at a higher level but I think he will. He has strength and pace which are key attributes.

So’s my dog! 😊

I cannot believe that, for the 3rd election in a row, a country as large as the USA has managed to come up with such a poor/terrible choice of presidential candidates. It is saying something when you consider that the best of them was probably Hillary Clinton.

Oops! 😬

We need to accelerate the rate with the odd boundary. Nothing daft required yet but we are not going to win this in singles.

Need Sam Hain to bat through to the end.

The obvious answer is that we will never know but I think it is conceited of us to think that our coaching would be greatly superior to anything they may have got elsewhere. Having said that, we have got a decent record in developing players although perhaps rather less so with those in our own...

Ah yes, that timeless classic. You are making me feel nostalgic now 😊

Promotion is back for the 2024/25 season, via a home and away play-off between the bottom team in the Premiership and the top team in the Championship. The drivers for this are the intended takeover of the Championship by the Premiership (it would be odd not to have promotion and relegation...

The thing I really object to is that the rugby authorities are rolling the pitch for Wasps to be admitted to the Championship. The Premiership seems to want to achieve this by taking control of the Championship, making it the Premiership division 2, and running it on a franchise model so that...

It looks as if Gykores is anticipating a move in the not too distant future: https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/gyokeres-transfer-news-arsenal-fc-2024-b1180197.html

I disagree. We have a MUCH greater chance of signing Matty James. Sid James was killed in France during WWI:

At these prices you could probably go to a dozen matches with the money saved by being one of those lucky enough not to get an Oasis ticket. 👍

A crash could happen when all the world’s best players and teams are in the Saudi League. That’s where the tv money will go, so the league will be even richer. I have heard that some are mooting that Saudi teams should be allowed to enter the Champions League. It’s a slippery slope.

But this isn’t the law of the land, it’s the rules of a football competition. It depends on what those rules say. It may be, of course, that those rules are silent on the issue. In that case the tribunal might decide to be guided, in the absence of anything else, by the law as it applies in...

But the original charge was void for want of jurisdiction, so it shouldn’t count as a charge. Obviously it all depends upon the rules. I don’t think that rules which apply in other areas, such as the criminal law, are relevant.

It looks as if Gykores is about to sign a new contract with Sporting Lisbon. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/viktor-gyokeres-development-shared-that-could-impact-coventry-city/ This may mean that he isn’t likely to be moving in the near future, although equally it could maintain the value of...

I don’t see why, as I said in my original post on this thread, they can’t bring the charges again now while they are PL members. They deserve to be very heavily sanctioned, not just because of the rule breaches themselves, but because of the blatant way in which they have tried to avoid...

According to the BBC report it was because they were in the EFL when the PL issued the charge:

The independent panel has upheld Leicester's appeal on the grounds that, when the charge was issued a few months ago, they were in the EFL and therefore the PL didn't have jurisdiction. That's all fine but I don't see why the charge cannot be reissued now that Leicester are back in the PL, so...
