    Let's All Laugh At... Newcastle

    Couldn't see a thread on these. With the season they're having, and the threat they're likely to pose in the coming years, probably worth starting one up. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jan/12/newcastle-joelinton-charged-with-drink-driving-arrest Hoping this is the start to their...

    Serie A 22/23

    Didn't see a thread for the current season, so I'll start this one. What a great game between Lazio and Inter. Really keenly contested game of good quality. And a great atmosphere, too. With our increased interest in players in the Italian league, I think I'll be watching a bit more Serie...

    Let's all Laugh (we're still doing this, yeah?) at Nottingham Forest

    With the signing of Morgan Gibbs-White for a fee of up to £42.5m, Forest have now spent £140m this summer window, bringing in 16(!) new signings, Gibbs-White being the most expensive. And I don't think they're done yet. Here's a interesting article on how they have been able to do it...

    Other Teams' New Kits 2022/23

    Thought I'd start off the new season with this cracker. Ever wanted to look like a bus? Jealous of the stylish seats you find on Dublin public transport? Then this Bohs kit is for you! (I actually quite like it :cautious:)

    Ligue 1

    There is a serious situation after the Ligue 1 playoff game between St. Etienne and Auxerre. At the final whistle, you had 10-15 fans run on the pitch with flares, fireworks, and smoke bombs and throwing them at the players. Ligue 1 has had terrible problems with crowds on the pitch in recent...

    Gold Cup 2021

    Because why not? First game: Mexico v Trinidad and Tobago Can't stand JP Dellacamera, so mostly watching on mute, but what an awful collision between Lozano and the T&T goalkeeper. Was never a penalty, despite Mexican protests. Hope the lad is okay.

    The Landon Donovan MVP Award...

    ...is the new name for the award to be given to the best player in MLS. How cringe is this? The guy is fucking 32 years old and has been a decent player, but not much more. I understand hero worship and wanting to honor the guy, but...really??!!

    Charging child mascots

    http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/18/premier-league-clubs-charge-600-children-mascots I really wish we weren't one of the clubs that charge for kids to walk out on the pitch with their idols. Seems like opportunism:( and very short sighted.

    Who had a better season, Arsenal or Liverpool?

    This was brought up on the Football Weekly podcast. Amy Lawrence, who I think ruins the pod every time she's on, in no small part because all she talks about is Arsenal, brought up the question of who had the better season. I found myself agreeing with her, much to my distaste. As good a...

    French 2nd tier team hires female manager

    http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/07/helena-costa-clermont-foot-manager I just cannot for the life of me see this working. I find it very hard to believe that a group of lads having grown up playing for men all their lives will give any time to a woman, no matter how good she is...

    Football ebooks

    I have quite a number of football books in ebook format...autobiographies, novels and the like. Does anyone have a collection as well? I'm looking for a few books specifically. One is the van Gaal book "The Coaching Philosophies of Louis van Gaal and the Ajax Coaches". Another is the Tony...

    The GAA thread

    Not many of us I'd imagine, but is anyone keeping up with the Championship this year? Dubs are flying it in football, hurling not looking too bad either. Kerry going to be there at the end while Cork will need a big resurrection to come through the back door. Will have to wait and see but the...

    Retro Spurs Track Jacket

    Am severely tempted to buy one of these. I'm just worried about sizing, as I live in Korea and shipping will cost a fu#king fortune. Does anyone have one? What's the sizing like? Is a M really a Medium? Thanks in advance...

    Tickets for Man Utd. in January

    Hi. I'll be in London in January and was hoping to catch a game at WHL - my first incidentally. As luck would have it, Spurs are away the two games that would suit the best, and the next one is Utd. at home. I was wondering what you think chances are of snagging a ticket for that. I imagine...

    The Secret Footballer on the Guardian - any guesses?

    Does anyone read this column? It gives really interesting insights into the life of professional footballers and he tells more than a few funny stories along the way. This weeks is particularly good. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/series/the-secret-footballer Does anyone have any ideas...

    Highlights of the Olympics

    Does anyone have a link or a heads up for a place to find Olympic highlights? I don't live in the UK, so the Beeb won't help. Thanks in advance.

    Allan McGregor

    We've made a bid and been linked previously. Now that he's declined to re-sign for the Rangers newco, would he be worth bringing in as Friedel back-up/replacement?
