Re: Euro 2024 Group C: Slovenia - Denmark - Serbia - England
Lots of things The media and the public are ridiculous when it comes to England. It is so over the top, so magnified. I've long held that I prefer watching England when in another country, away from it all, after my positive experience of watching World Cup matches while backpacking as a student. T...

Good to see SPENGE on the far side. Its not a proper international tournament until you see the Spenge banner.

Re: Euro 2024 Group C: Slovenia - Denmark - Serbia - England
Usual England dropping deep after scoring. Denmark will be delighted seeing Kane come so far back so often.

Re: Euro 2024 Group C: Slovenia - Denmark - Serbia - England
Listening to the radio on the way home there was some really good insights in a conversation between Matthew Upson and Conor Coady about more technical aspects of the game, particularly defending, as both are centre halves. Far better than the TV analysis, I'll have to tune in more often. What its l...

Re: Euro 2024 Group B: Spain - Croatia - Italy - Albania
I knew the Albania coach was Sylvinho, but hadn't realised his assistant was Pablo Zabaleta.

Re: UEFA.com Euro 2024 Fantasy Football / Match Predictor
Impressive, particularly as I'm willing to bet there will be people above you who created a second account to see the questions beforehand.

Re: UEFA.com Euro 2024 Fantasy Football / Match Predictor
Early lead for @kenzel in the fantasy. I'm firmly mid-table, though I note that collectively we're doing well - mid-table in our league puts you in the top 20% overall.

Re: Euro 2024 Group C: Slovenia - Denmark - Serbia - England
Ramsdale, Dean Henderson, Konsa, Dunk, Gomez, Mainoo, Wharton, Bowen and Gordon - Nine players in the final squad that didn't play a single minute in the qualifiers!! :sigh: From your list of players to miss out by this metric, Pope, Maguire and Mount are injured. Sterling and Dier have not been ca...

Re: Euro 2024 Group C: Slovenia - Denmark - Serbia - England
I don't think anyone was expecting Crystal Palace to be the club with most representatives in the England squad.

Re: 2023/24 Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final
There are many ridiculous stats about Real Madrid in the European Cup / Champions League, but to me one that stands out is that they have won their last 8 finals. When it comes to the big day, they never freeze. In the last ten years, only once has the competition not been won by either Real Madrid ...

Re: English Football 2023/24
So disappointing for City to put in their worst 45 minutes of the entire season in the first half of the cup final. As it says on the wall of the home dressing room at the Etihad, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard".

Re: English Football 2023/24
I thought this was interesting: More people watched the Championship play-off final in Wembley (85,862) than the FA Cup final (84,814)! Of the major domestic matches, the FA Cup final is the one with the lowest proportion of tickets going to each club. Every single club affiliated to the FA is enti...

Re: English Football 2023/24
Maybe Bayern could try and get him. Familiarity with Kane and Dier would be a bonus. I think they prefer a coach who speaks German. And Poch couldn't show much at Chelsea, to say the least. Looks like it's going to be Kompany. Just... Why? Limp relegation with Burnley, just 5 wins in 38 games, just...

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...
