I mean we literally lost 7-0 at home to Fulham 2 years ago... -
The Lionesses and Sunday ....

Isn't there already a thread for this? -

That's a disgustingly bad front 3 at this level. -

I think we'll lose - they've strengthened in the summer and have a very good manager. Half of our summer signings aren't fit and we obviously need 2/3 more as is. -
City haven't outspent their peers though, they've just spent it more wisely - Chelsea and Manchester United have spent a fortune too. Newcastle and Arsenal are evidently hot on their trail.

I cancelled my season ticket at Wigan Warriors a couple of seasons ago because I was bored every Friday night. The teams of the early 2000s would obliterate the teams on show now.

RL has been hurt by the Salary Cap, it's allowed the tail to wag the dog and the overall standard of the league has plummeted. As for the Saudi Pro League - I'm not sure what they get out of it. They've already bought multiple clubs around the world, so their name is out there. Artificially pumping up a farmer's league (what are there, 8 teams?) is an odd choice, but they essentially have a bottomless pot of money so they can afford to do it. I think the football governing bodies will shadow-ban anyone that goes to the Saudi Pro League from international football as the traditional super powers in Europe can't compete financially with oil money. Much like The Hundred I won't watch a second of it.

It's mainly to give them control over an out ground when Old Trafford isn't available (usually due to a concert rather than a Test!). There isn't currently one in central Lancashire - they go to Southport, Liverpool, Blackpool and (snigger) Cumbria... but I think they've already fallen out with Liverpool?

I actually think he's a solid squad player - he's one of Mowbray's better signings, but he's not a starter in a strong promotion chasing team. -

Outstanding from Hemp, that. picked up the ball on the halfway line for that goal. -

Some of this football is a wet dream for the Allardyce apologists we have amongst us. 😆 -

Shouldn't be scoring from that far out. -

I feel sorry for Daly - she's not a LWB. -

Who does Hemp play for? She's a superstar. -

ITV had the Chelsea (I think) manager on - she was really good. -

This ref giving the convicts everything. Clearly influenced by the crowd. -
Diallo carried them a lot last year - he was always going to be a big miss.
-
Has he been good at this level? Two penalties and a ball glancing off the back of his head. From what I've seen he's looked lost.

If I was the ref I'd be contacting my lawyers about that slanderous comment. -

In hindsight, yes, but it takes a brave 19 year old in his second start to grab the ball out of the hands of one of the most senior players. -

Zonal marking and a player allowed to use his hands. -

He's just a big lump, isn't he? -
Looks like they need Sam Gallagher upfront. £2.5m and he's yours, lads. Mowbray's taking you on a wonderful journey, just wait.

You can double up on him when he's partnered with Travis - he's no threat to hurt you with the ball. Less so when he's partnered with JRC (or Buckley).
