    Do people use more than one betting company?

    I started gambling a few years ago. Just small amounts to pay for beer money. It was pretty consistent. I upped my betting amount slightly and continued to win. I then upped it more and strangely found when betting higher amounts, instead of being more careful, I became more reckless. Then the...

    2022/23 Relegation battle thread

    As always the relegation battle is one of the most interesting as there is so much at stake. Southampton are bottom but not out of it. A disastrous appointment set them back massively and alongside Bournemouth are likely to go down. Everton are 3rd bottom with Leeds just above them. Would...

    Most hated player by a club

    Was thinking about the players really hated by a club. It usually comes down to a betrayal. Sol will always be hated by our fans. Figo had a pig’s head thrown at him. Paul Ince was intensely hated by West Ham and is a rare example for leaving the club for a non-rival. Just thought I’d start...

    2021/22 Relegation battle thread

    I've always enjoyed the relegation battle as there is so much more at stake. I think Norwich are almost certain to go down. They sold their best player, Buendia, and while there is good potential with their purchases I think it's too much for them to function well enough as a team to stay up...

    Will free transfers and running down contracts become the norm?

    Just pondering the future of transfers. Arsenal have released 5 high earning players on free transfers this calendar year after failing to find a buyer. They currently have 5 players in the last year of their contracts in Lacazette, Kolasniac, Nketiah, Chambers and Elneny. Lacazette aside I...

    On the playing side what is it that we’re missing the most?

    We are constantly failing to see out games. Sometimes you feel we could go for it and get that goal to go 2 up but we sit back. But then we’re not good enough defensively to see out games. On the playing side what is it we’re missing the most? Do we need an experienced centre bank to command...

    How long do you want Jose to get?

    I like a poll to see where people stand. There are other threads for the manager discussion but I have got the OK from the mods to ask the simple discussion on how long you think Jose should get.

    What's more likely this season: top 4 or win EL?

    Not going to give the option of neither. We are currently 7th and 5 points behind Chelsea in 4th and we have a game in hand. We have played the same amount of games as West Ham and Everton and we're 3 points behind West Ham and 1 point behind Everton. We're 8 points behind Leicester and we...

    Our best manager during the first 10 years of the Prem

    The dark ages of the 1990s regularly gets mentioned. We spent relatively big on transfer fees but low on salary and manager after manager failed to get us a top 6 finish let alone actual success, bar a league cup. So from Ardiles in 1993 to Hoddle taking over in 2001 who was the best manager...

    Have you missed football?

    So no Prem game since 9th March. The last Spurs game was 10th March and was our 3-0 defeat in the CL. Seems when the season is on football is always near the front of my mind then in the summer it is all about the transfer window. But this is the first time when there really is no football...

    Season in or out of Europe?

    Well CL qualification is looking extremely unlikely. Naturally in general European qualification is what sides aim for. We have a proud European history and among the few with 3 plus European trophies. However, we are in the middle of a rebuild. Our squad is disjointed and a season focusing...

    Football fan abuse thread

    It seems since the 60s hooliganism has been a major issue with football. England were banned in the late 80s from European competition for several years. We certainly made steps forward from then but the issue will never be eradicated and we still have issues with racism and homophobia...

    2019/20 relegation thread

    So we are 7 games in and the teams likely to struggle are no surprise. All 3 promoted sides, Norwich, Sheffield Utd and Villa, could struggle. Norwich play good football and have goals in them but need to adapt their game to grind out results. I feel Villa and Sheffield Utd lack quality and I...

    Where will we finish in the league 2019/20?

    So selling players abroad aside the squads for the first half of the season are done. We have bought 3 quality players, 1 on loan, and so far kept our best players. City have bought 2 players in Rodri and Cancelo and Arsenal have brought in Ceballos on loan, given Saliba back on loand brought...

    Lack of mental strength or ability?

    So we are third in the league despite a tough season with injuries, World Cup hangover, no signings or home ground. So things are good but naturally we want to improve. Lots of talk of certain players not being good enough and also about us not having the mental strength to get over the next...

    Is any team going to threaten the top six long term?

    For a long time we had the ‘Sky Four.’ While we might not like the term there is no denying that they got the four CL places for a long time. Our long term thinking eventually helped us nick 4th spot and start becoming a true contender for those spots. Then City’s new owner money put them...

    Do you enjoy gambling?

    Probably a weird question in a gambling forum, I assume people gamble and enjoy it. I remember before I started gambling watching ads say sports are more enjoyable when putting money on it. I started gambling 3 years ago and worked out I am £200 up each year. So I am not making any real money...

    Good and bad changes to football

    Was giving some thought to changes to the game in my lifetime and our initial reaction was to them. My first memory was the change to the back pass rule. I don’t remember this getting too much resistance at the time. Watching teams 1 goal up calmly passing to the keeper to pick up did take the...
