Would it even be a proper transfer window if we weren't linked to Nakhi Wells at some point? Feels like we've been rumoured to be signing him for most of the last 10 years or more
Was playing golf yesterday with some of the inlaws family and friends, one of whom is a referee in the Cheshire league. He's a level 4 qualified ref, which makes him eligible for a few local cup finals. He was saying yesterday that if he was to push on to get the qualiifications to become a Premier ...
Barcelona nearing a deal to sign Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams. The winger has agreed a six year deal. Made his debut for Athletic at 18 years old. Exciting player. one of my very favourite players, and one of the big driving forces behind Athletic Bilbao's recent good seasons. I thought Barca we...
Opening match tickets being sold to local students for $3.50, on a buy one get 4 free basis. Keiren Maguire also sharing a tweet yesterday that suggests the tournament is looking to be "expanded to 48 teams after pressure from European giants". So the financially screwed teams like Barca, ...
Look forward, not backwards. Taking the emotion out of it, is he the sort of signing we'd be excited about? 3 - 4 years since he was at his best, 29 and not much scope to improve, couldn't get in a team that finished bottom. We know he has the sort of character we want, but I don't think there are ...
A team from the Azores qualified for Europe from Portugal. https://scontent-lhr6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/494726754_711372974613731_4564114592071410028_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg_tt6&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=AtfcI40Ie7EQ7kNvwEaAYqw&_nc_oc=Adlq4Yb5YcmiTpgDZ85TQlL...
In the last week or so we've had Sheff Wed not paying non-playing staff in full for May and Blackburn essentially binning their women's team, including apparently not giving them proper female kit and them having to use near fitting men's kit, including for the girls' teams. One of the Reading ladie...
I like Daniel Storey, read his work for quite a while back to his days at Football365 and have read some of his articles during his 92 odyssey. When this thread rolled round a few years ago, this was my answer then (July 2023): https://hobnob.royals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5403245#p5403245 +1 to t...
I didn't realise it was 6 a side. All the clips I've seen from it are one on one with players hoofing it from one half of the pitch to the other trying to score - what's going on there?
Lyon 75th Anniversary shirt https://www.soccerbible.com/media/169604/lyon-6-min.jpg Nice shirt, unusual for Adidas who I find are always obsessed about putting white stripes onto everything, esp. if they can fiddle with them enough to make them look a bit like their logo. The white stripes are ther...
Serie B all set up for a stupendous final round of games tomorrow evening. Sampdoria beat Salernitana at the weekend to jump above them and out of the relegation spot and into the relegation play offs. 2 relegation spots are free and 2 relegation play off spots are free, and 6 teams are fighting to...
Not sure Luton are going to be quite the same sort of force as Brum - they're not going to blow 15m+ on a striker, and they're supposedly putting some/most of the Prem money into the new stadium fund. Plus they don't have the same pulling power as Brum either.
