Re: Football stats

Jonny Evans' departure means that next season will be the first at Manchester United since 1973-74 without a player who played for the club under Alex Ferguson. :? Ferguson didn’t join Man Utd until 1985. Yeh, and there were players from 73-74 onwards who were still there when he joined. Well, one ...

Re: ArsenaLOL

genome Tottenham European trophies: 3
Arsenal European trophies: 0

I hate to break into my self-imposed exile, but do the Fairs Cup and Cup Winners Cup not count.
In one case Arsenal even had to win something to qualify for the tournament

Still leaves them a trophy down :wink:

Re: On This Day

I was there too, behind the Tilehurst end goal where it was scored ( Franchise- where is he these days? - and Carnaby’s Whiskers were with me). Description above correct, but I would say he was more central than “ towards the left touchline”. FFC is so fed up with the ongoing shitstorm that is the ...

Re: VAR

Little Stewie Atwell excelling at the Rumbelows Cup final yesterday. First saying nothing to see here when Trippier knocked the ball out of Diaz's path with his hand, it would have been the softest penalty ever but once you have VAR how don't you see it? But then his meisterwerk came after Chiesa's...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT YET* CONFIMRED

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT YET* CONFIMRED

Fantastic news. Also nice to hear the EFL have been extremely lenient with us in the last few months because of the circumstances (Dai deliberately being a cnut). Some respect returned to the EFL.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT YET* CONFIMRED

In principle selling the club to new owners sounds easy. Actually striking a deal that's acceptable to all parties involved is probably far more complex. The training complex is financially a huge white elephant for one. Nice to have. But totally out of kilter with a middle table L1 side. Though qu...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT YET* CONFIMRED

buckingham royal Interesting that a former Director of Footbal Luke Dowling was on Talk Sport this morning and said he was close to taking up a new role in a club to be purchased within the next few weeks. He was not questioned which club this would be. May be nothing, ut watch this space.

Everton ?

Now I'm not sure, but aren't our current full back options: RB: Yiadom, Abrefa, Ryan LB: Dorsett, Ryan. So we only have one fit fullback and he's played how many senior minutes? And he’s going to play at both left and right fullback :shock: plus Dorsett is a primarily centre back :lol: Can this Joe...
