Here's a link to David Squires take on the PL proposal in his Guardian cartoon strip (All hail the saviours of the English football pyramid) - which i...
@andy-r I'd agree that the Carabao cup may as well go given nobody takes it seriously any more and the Charity Shield is not the season's curtain-ra...
@chris-hunneysett Clearly it's big six in terms of wealth and why the rest of the PL clubs would go along with any plan that put them in charge. App...
I've been out of the loop for a few day but have just been catching up on this new proposal put forward by Liverpool and Man Utd. I was interested to ...
@andy-r Yes clearly football has been broken for a long time now and that has been a consequence of the wealth gap created between the Premier Leagu...
@andy-r I did think about that could be their counter-argument but that would most likely result in Premier League clubs signing up even more of the...
Interesting Tweet from the EFL midweek after the England v Wales game in response to calls to restructure the Football League... 24 of @England's ...
It seems the PL have found a new way to make some cash during Covid and it's been announced that all previously non-televised games will now be availa...
Let's hope he wasn't infected - but perhaps a sign of things to come with the Scotland u19 manager receiving news of a positive test during the game a...
@andy-r Could well be Saville who is dropped - though it depends how much he plays for NI. Anyway, I can't see Roberts playing in a position that re...
@redcarred OK, we may be getting slightly ahead of ourselves over how we could afford Patrick Johnson after he's priced himself out of a permanent m...
@ken Great research Ken and I'd agree that it would be a backward step to ditch the UK's long-standing tradition of having such a strong pyramid str...
@andy-r I agree that our younger players need to become more consistent - indeed as do the more experienced ones - if they are to deserve a start. O...
@jarkko I suspect Steve Gibson will need to upstage the Warnock BBQ quite dramatically and go the whole hog if we are somehow promoted this season -...
@grovehillwallah I suspect the arrival of Roberts will mean one or two of our younger players will have their development stunted - while he may ind...
@ken I wasn't confident the season would be completed before it started and unless cases start to fall it's probably a matter of when rather than if...
@powmillnaemore The problem is football has essentially become a business rather than a sport and the chief executives of the rich clubs only look a...
@grovehillwallah I think supporters can only do so much and we now know the consequence of supporters boycotting turning up at stadiums. Perhaps sup...
@powmillnaemore It's clear that clubs who depend on gate income cannot survive a prolonged period without supporters - though if restrictions last s...
@stircrazy That was just the deadline for international transfers deals but the PL and EFL have agreed to extend the domestic transfer deadline unti...
The only possible driver to sign a player is that's it's probably the last chance to sign an EU player before they will need to qualify for a work per...
My mistake, scrub the mid-table obscurity and put us down as obscure play-off contenders!
So Boro got their first much-needed win and despite scoring either side of the break they failed to push on to make it a more comfortable victory. Bar...
It can only have been Akpom as the ball deflected in off him when he was stood in front of he keeper - if it had been Tav then surely he won't have be...
@k-p-in-spain I'd agree with it being a poor game and perhaps it's down to lacking width and playing too many hopeful long balls again. The problem ...
Thanks Pedro, though I'm probably agnostic when it comes to believing in Boro 😉
@andy-r Typical, I go in search of a formation to suit the squad and end back where we started - perhaps I've just proved why we play the formation ...
@deleriad It's going to be hard to find an alternative formation that provides the balance between defence and attack that also offers width and pac...
@andy-r Thanks Andy and it appears Roberts is going to be that man to play in the hole - though you'd normally want your number ten to bring other p...
