Re: Weekend Football

Not domestic football - but a huge mess for Malaysian international football. FIFA has banned seven of its players from all football for 12 months after determining that those players were ineligible to play for Malaysia, and that documentation showing that their grandparents were born in Malaysia w...

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

The forecast replacements are excellent players, but they don't fit the strategy Slot is employing. So he needs to change it. There's a compilation on Twitter somewhere of Gakpo ignoring Kerkez's overlapping runs, and the same is true on the right side, where Salah is used to occupying the space tha...

Re: Weekend Football

27 goals in nine games for Coventry - including 12 without reply in their last three games, and all of their next five league fixtures are against teams currently 11th or lower in the table.

No other side in the football league has more than Grimsby's 23 goals, and they have played 11 games.

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Remarkable story. Mjallby is actually merely a 'parish', far too small to be considered a town. That ground looks like a cold matchday experience.

Harry Kane becomes the first player to score 11 goals in the first six games of the Bundesliga season. 18 goals in ten games in all competitions.

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

I think you are right and that the Liverpool boot room was a bit special and different. I can't think of any other top level club that implemented that type of succession programme so well. Only West Ham I can think of, and not to the same scale. When Lou Macari became manager in 1989 he was only t...

Isak, 4 touches in half an hour, somebody should tell him he`s not on strike anymore, Wirtz not a single assist in 8 games, Liverpool broke the British transfer record twice to get these two in. Granted still early days but they haven`t exactly hit the ground running have they? Isak hasn't trained ...

Another brace for Sir Harold of Kane in Pafos last night, he now has 17 goals (and 3 assists) in 9 games this season. Kane also set a European record last week, he reached 100 goals for Bayern in his 104th game for the club, beating the record of 105 set by Erling Haaland (City) and Cristiano Ronald...

Re: Players at Reading who you had completely forgotten about

Not 'forgotten', but it seems bizarre to think that Emi Martinez, World Cup winner and two time Yashin Trophy winner, was our keeper only six years ago, given what he has fit in since then. Tiago Ilori I had completely forgotten about. Signed by Liverpool as a future star, it didn't work out, though...

Found out there is another Delap. Liam's brother is Finn, on the books at League One Burton.

Also that Joao Mendes is at Hull City, currently playing for the U21s. He is Ronaldinho's son. Previously released by Burnley.

Re: Weekend Football

Liverpool not playing great and looking pretty unconvincing, but already 5 points clear. Will their performance levels improve? Or will results start to slip? Been thinking about this. I think 'Liverpool have been poor' is getting over-cooked a bit. Sure, they aren't playing scintillating football ...

Yeah, that's probably true. Hadn't occurred to me that playing for Trinidad might have hurt his chances.
