Football is growing in popularity in pretty much every country - what makes Australia so special? There’s no need to pretend that the 1994 and 2002 tournaments were awarded for anything other than huge commercial interests in western-friendly economies. The issue today is that western economies...

That’s not actually him, and even if it was he would technically be insulting us anyway?

The World Cups in Japan/SK and the US weren’t about money? The uncomfortable reality is that if you genuinely want the World Cup to be staged in places where it will be “about growing the game in different parts of the world” then you have to accept that most other places (and certainly most...

Clearly all is not well if they’ve had to replace the assistant manager. They’re in absolute freefall, Rooney looks completely out of his depth once again. They’re sure to go down if he stays.

I think it makes campaigns for LGBT equality in the game more important than ever. A boycott of this tournament in the name of gay and trans rights would be laudable. I also think if you’re keen to make a fuss about gay and trans rights and human rights abuses for this tournament, then you...

Without knowing the costs of either deal I don’t see how anyone could say definitively either way. I’m pretty dubious that having Doyle instead of Binks this season would have transformed the team.

I don’t see why bullshit attitudes in other countries mean we can’t work to improve attitudes in our own.

Even if our next window to challenge for the playoffs isn't until next year, you would hope that if the right player becomes available in January that we would authorise the spending now, if only to allow them to bed in properly for next season. The EMC signing may prove to be instructive in...

Not allowing shots on goal - it’s good, actually!

Why?!

It should be Dancing In The Dark….absolutely criminal if it doesn’t catch on.

Switching keepers after our first clean sheet in more than a month would be bananas - it will be Collins in goal for the foreseeable.

Back on the Smirnoff Ices already?

Making it sound like an M&S food advert ffs

We made two like-for-like subs on 60 minutes - they were the right changes imo, but it’s the type of stuff that Robins would get slated for!

Collins looked fine today.

EMC seems strangely hesitant in his natural position. Glad for him to have scored but he’s a huge downgrade on Wright.

He’s my dad’s favourite player. He lost his shit when he came on today. Thank you to Frank for making his day.

It’s ok to admit that it’s just platitudes.

Good win in the end - absolutely dire first half where we didn’t look like creating anything. Happy for EMC but I expect so much more from him. His lack of confidence on the ball is bizarre. Sheaf showed his best and worst sides, but it was a game where we needed someone to step up and it...
