Re: England - the future....

As it turns out WYR the 2nd half was also very good.

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Vitesse, who were relegated from the top division in the Netherlands last season after being given an 18 point deduction, are currently bottom of the 2nd tier on -8 points after starting the season with a 6 point deduction, and then been given a further 21 point deduction late in 2024. There is no ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

The PV medical duo were excellent today, 30 seconds attention and a player seemingly at death's door would be right as rain again. I particularly enjoyed their first half cameo, three visits in a couple of minutes, without ever quite managing to get back to the Tech Area before having to come back o...

Re: MATCHWATCH : AFC Wimbledon (h)

Got give em a bit of grace for being a new team, and Hunt still finding the right way to play them. Though obvious eyebrows raised at Garcia on the wing, Wing and Fraser the wrong way around and Doyle on the bench. Can kinda forgive playing Kelvin upfront when we currently lack options there, but y...

Re: MATCHWATCH : AFC Wimbledon (h)

The last time the two clubs played each other was Boxing Day 2003 when Reading presented a gutless display and Wimbledon won 3-0 at the Mad Stad. Whenever we're discussing all-time sh i t performances, across all seasons in all divisions, this one is frequently mentioned and is certainly in my top ...

Re: BFTG - Huddersfield

Agree with the even-handed posts on this so far Also O'Mahoney really didn't hold the ball up at all. I'm struggling to find positive things about him from what I've seen so far. Kyerewaa was terrific in a loose cannon kind of way and they offered nothing on the right until he went off, too concerne...

Re: Spurs friendly

Just got back Ahmed, Camara were plusses - Ahmed in particularly looks keen as mustard, I'd be starting him v Portsmouth. Garcia was ok in places too. We should have had a pen in the second half after an obvious handball that the ref must have been blinded to. O'Mahoney's foul in the first half was ...

Re: Womens euros 2025

TBF I've seen worse shoot-out's in men's football without any reference to the participant's gender - for example, the 1986 European Cup Final. England were fortunate in the extreme there, not because of the pens, but because Sweden were better over the 120 minutes, apart from a 20/25 minute bit in ...

That’s them through then, who will they get in the knockout round? The top two from this group play the top two from the Germany / Sweden group C. Assuming France win group D, England play the group C winners - at the moment that's Sweden, and France would play Germany. But Sweden play Germany on S...

Re: Womens euros 2025

I do think commentators and pundits go in too easy on the women's game if we really want to hold it to equal standards comparable to men. That Stanway shot was a good effort, but there is now way it should go in. But the analysis seems to be letting the GK off scott free. That's a little harsh, the...
