Skamp Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 You see this cricket thing amuses me. We can talk about a sport just because Wednesday was spawned from a cricket club 156 years ago but not a popular sport in 2023. If only admin were as fond of a different sport than cricket, we might be able to all join in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said something along the lines of "We've still got two games to go" and (whilst I'm not sure he meant it like this) I'd be telling the lads he thinks the semi final is a foregone conclusion, let's go and shove them words down his throat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping for a draw and a search for a new manager this morning. I still think we're looking at the play-offs as Croatia should beat Latvia away and Armenia at home and we have Armenia away (who we lost to at home) and Turkey at home.

I think how Southgate sets up this potentially brilliant English side fucks things up for Foden. Not for me yet just yet - he will be. But until Pep trusts him every week, he’s not going to get the games to get to that level. But, what is good, is that Pep is trusting him more centrally and also wide right.

KrolMong Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 What does need to happen is that some players need moves. Phillips and Maguire need to go and get first team football in Jan. Sancho needs a move. Luke Shaw needs to get fit, Henderson needs to step away. If Liverpool are going to play TAA in midfield then he gets a squad place, but until then he misses out. We also need to find some cover at centre half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowl Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Opened the bidding for the next EPL rights that would start in 2025/26. I guess surprisingly the 3pm blackout continues - though I suspect that is more a nod to the potential risk of an external football regulator than any empathy to the football pyramid. Main change seems to be that all the Sunday 2pm games will be made available.
