Re: English Football 2023/24

Thanks. While you're here, what do you think about Foden scooping up the Player of the Year awards? Do you think he's been your top man this season? Well, you know my opinion on Rodri (who's now up to 73 games unbeaten other than penalty shootouts). From an attacking point of view, Foden has been t...

Re: English Football 2023/24

Best goalie in Bundesliga 2020/21 while playing for my home town club. Just 3 seasons later, Ortega has made himself a name with ManCity, while Arminia Bielefeld hardly escaped their third relegation in a row. Just 4 points above the relegation zone in the 3rd Bundesliga with one match remaining. H...

All those resources City have, making it so when there's an injury in a crucial game they can sub in *checks notes* a free transfer from Arminia Bielefeld for a match-winning contribution. :wink: WS marks - Final ranking (average of the best 17 performances) Best XI ....................

Re: Ice Hockey

An encouraging end as we win the third period. 4-2 FT, much closer than I think most would have expected. :applause: Didn't realise this was today, would have liked to have caught some of it. When the difference between the teams is a pair of goals from teenage phenomenon Connor Bedard, it is a cre...

Re: English Football 2023/24

Phil Foden and Kadija Shaw win the FWA Player of the Year awards. On the article where I read the news, the first comment decried Foden's win, saying he was overhyped because he was English. There have been occasions where I might have agreed, like when Scott Parker won, but not this one. With Salah...

Re: English Football 2023/24

I understand these debates, since it was something that went on when I was a kid. My first introduction to the idea that there were different ways to play football were the debates when Peter Reid was City manager. He guided the club to back to back top 6 finishes, but the football was dogshit. Long...

Re: English Football 2023/24

Liverpool would now need two slip ups in four games from Arsenal, and two in five from City. The bookmakers offer 33/1 but I'd make it 100.

Arsenal's goal difference puts things on a knife edge. Barring an 8 goal swing in four fixtures, even a draw for City would put Arsenal back in the driving seat.

Re: English Football 2023/24

Only found out from reading this that it went to penalties, was 3-0 last I looked!

Only the second time that the finalists have repeated, and the previous time was 1884 and 1885 (Blackburn Rovers and Queen's Park).

Re: 2023/24 Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Walker starting. Hope he's fully fit.

City have scored three goals in all nine matches in the competition so far. Extending this crazy streak to ten would be most welcome.

League leaders Stockport can probably feel aggrieved at all the attention Wrexham get. Stockport were also promoted on Saturday, and will secure the title ahead of Wrexham if they win one of their remaining three games.
