Steve blatherwick Jim Leighton Chris woods Kevin Lisbie Steve Blatherwick set up Archie's equaliser in the injury time 1-0 down, 2-1 win against McGhee's Wolves where the injury time only occured because of an injury to Gilksey, who was playing for Wolves. I thinks that almost qualifies him for leg...
A while back I had a go at recent-ish players with common surnames who I reckon most fans would find hard to place. Here's some: A Smith N Smith B Smith K Jones S Brown A Wright B Roberts J Young M Dobson J Kelly S Kelly J Taylor R Scott Yep remember all of them. Alex Smith Neil Smith Ben Smith Kei...
I don't have any agenda, I looked at the figures which seemed to show a drop off in form but realised I miscalculated when papes pointed it out and put my hands up to making an error. However, he is 32, the rest of the squad is relatively young and should be around for the next 6-8 years so England ...
Kane's goalscoring form has also dropped off for England in the past 4 years. from 0.88 goals per game up to 2021 to 0.61 since 2022. isn't that just a particularly good 2021 skewing that? 2019 was better. ...and 2023 was as good as 2021. Yeah, I realise I miscalculated the figure so retract it sli...
Agreed, and, good though he is, he's got far too much billy big bollocks attitude these days. To me it's the old Lampard/Scholes/ Gerrard conundrum again. How do you accommodate all three. Simple answer is you don't, you pick whoever best suits the system. Going back even further, Glenn Hoddle. Und...
There will of course be a clamour to bring Bellingham back but I think he disrupts the balance of the team.

Don't want to go overboard on one performance but of the big names that are missing, Saka is the only one I'd say walks straight back into the starting XI.
Enic reject 2 'preliminary expressions of interest' from groups looking to buy Spurs one was a Chinese consortium and the other was a consortium headed up by Amanda Staveley To be fair, I don't blame them. We all know about a Chinese owners but Staveley is heavily involved with Saudi Arabia and I d...
General ponder - I do wonder how long it will be until we see some superstar player be owned by a non club, maybe even owned by himself, and loaned out to different teams each season for crazy wages. Cough Mascherano, cough Tevez cough West Ham. It happens(ed) a lot in South America. Our old friend...
They've been a consistently good Lowland League team since their formation in 2010. Never finished in the bottom half and only finished outside the Top 5 3 times.
It's not a big surprise that they've taken to the Scottish League.
If we could afford him then it's a no brainer because he's head and shoulders above any other forward we e been linked to this summer but that's a massive "if" with knobs on. Big, strong, good in the air and not afraid to mix it. In fact, if I had to compare him to any former Reading playe...
