Got a bit emosh at this. Part of my Saturday nights for years.

Wright often speaks well of Everton

I liked how he initially got it wrong about Headlock-Gate but then walked it back once he was corrected

A lesser person would have doubled down so that they didn't look wrong, but he was a class act about it and I think that actually helped with changing the general narrative about it in the media

Wishing him well in whatever he does next

Just seen that lol what happened there? was the Newcastle side made up of u16's or something?

McKenna would be far better if he went to Brighton for a few years then Man Utd/Chelsea. Jumping straight into a top 6 club might not be the smartest idea imo.

Feels like he’s the new Potter. Suspect results at United or Chelsea would be similar.

Ive not heard of a single player in their first 11. Kind of ridiculous that they agreed to play and then just sent reserves and youth players to the slaughter

It would at Chelsea, not sure about Utd as he has previous experience of working there and will know many of the players and how they work and how the club works. The thing with Utd is now Ratcliffe is there wanting to strip and rebuild the club from the top down, he has already wound up some of the staff who work there with his proposed changes and the first team needs a huge amount of work doing to it outgoings/incomings and giving them an identity/playing style. There is one thing doing that at Ipswich, it's another thing doing it at Utd though. It's why I reckon a bridging move for a couple of years to somewhere like Brighton is better for him atm, very stable club, will back the manager, decent players, they will give him a platform to show what he can do.

The fact this was actually flagged to UEFA/PL by an actual betting company in South America would suggest it's not looking good for him. Some of the bookings are a bit silly when you see them, there is one in particular where he does a hand of god type thing to stop the ball going forward and it's 90+ min into the game, I look forward to his explanation on this one.

Ye i agree but i think if you look at tonnes of “ silly yellows” you could make a case for them being on purpose

 

[sd_1992]

Also agree. If he did decide he wanted to test himself straight away then Brighton is the place for a young up-and-comer.

Brighton are on the downward part of their cycle now.

PL have made sure their squad has been stripped bare and they haven’t replaced sustainably. They will be down in a few years.

Barcelona are a hilarious club.

What a way to humiliate Xavi. He basically did the Hokey Cokey before they binned him.

That president is one corrupt piece of work.

Their squad really isn’t that bad IMO. They just need to add a CM or 2. They’ve got decent options in attack and defence

Plymouth Argyle about to appoint Wayne Rooney as manager.

FFS they must be mad.
