    The England Thread

    Easy decision. A lot of people lamenting that Harry Redknapp never got the job, but why have the main, when you can have the pudding.

    The England Thread

    Italia 90 we played Netherlands who had the Koeman brothers, Gullit, Rijkaard and van Basten at their peak. We also played Cameroon, who beat finalists Argentina in the group stage. In Euro 96, we played Netherlands and Spain.

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Fair enough, I think we have just seen different games where he was played in a different way, as the games I saw him, he was the striker playing off the shoulder and Kouame would be a little deeper and make runs from deep (a bit like Dele, but maybe not starting as deep). Zirkzee would...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    I really like Soule, but I think, just like Lamela, his dribbling skills won't transfer to the PL, as he, IMO, isn't quick enough out wide and isn't strong enough centrally for his dribbling style. I agree in regards to his vision and passing, but we already have a RW that is better suited...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Ferguson and Calafiori are decent with 69th percentile (slightly less than Sarr and Bissouma) and 87th percentile (same as VdV) respectively, but the rest are 50th and under.

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    They really aren't great at progressing the ball forward. None of there regular starters in CM or CB are in a higher percentile in their relative positions for progressive passes than 54th. For comparison, we don have a player that is a regular starter in any of those positions that is under the...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Last summer, I would have agreed that Zirkzee (based on his time at Bologna) wasn't suited, but whether it's because we haven't fully adapted to Ange's tactics, haven't got the right style of winger or just because the EPL is a different beast to the SPL, I'm no longer sure a "fox in the box"...

    Yes, muscle injuries, due to muscles suddenly being overused or underused/weakened but not cartilage injuries, which is what he has. I read somewhere that the chance of tearing your Meniscus in the opposite knee (to the one previously torn) is a fraction of a %, so it surprising.

    UEFA Europa League and Conference League 2023/24

    Only there 3 in attack and they have gone for a more defensive DM, but their GK, back 4 and 2 CMs are 1st choice.

    He has only just returned from injury, so probably thought better not to risk it and give someone else a shot.

    If City beat Newcastle in the FA Cup & reach the CL Semi final, yes, we will almost certainly play them in between Burnley and SU.

    No, I think that is when they will play Brighton, which hasn't yet been re-arranged, as these are the only 2 dates they can also play them.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    If City beat Newcastle and get to the CL semi final, our match with City will either need to be played a midweek after the game is currently scheduled (23rd/24th April), which is unlikely, or between Burnley and Sheff Utd, so I doubt the Chelsea game will be then.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    16 of the 39 goals we conceded this season came in 6 games where we either didn't have a CB on the pitch or we were down to 9 men and 3 of the games we didn't have an available CB, we also didn't have our DM. Also, 3 of our back 5 are 24 or under and it is 3 of the back 5's first season in the...

    2023/24 Champions League

    This game is win win for me, Arsenal win and they have more games to play and Englands coeff goes up, Porto win and Arsenal lose which is always good. I'm just hoping for extra time tbh.
