Not sure this new Super League would be as popular internationally as they anticipate. The major reason most of us NA fans watch is because it is not the the franchise model. The concept of promotion and relegation is as much an attraction as the game itself. The Canadian TV market let DAZN...

Appears to be this guy who is a Midlands reporter for the Telegraph. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/sport/columnists/johnpercy/?showPageNumber=2 EDIT: Noticed the missing e in Telegraph, so yeah, would appear to be a fake.

According to statistics site WhoScored, Hart made 30 passes against Slovenia with a success rate of 86.7 per cent - only four clearances went astray. He played 11 long balls, seven accurately to a team-mate, and on the 19 other occasions when he had the ball at his feet, hit an accurate short...

This. It seemed a little odd to me that Pep went out of his way to get Bravo when the FB situation was in much more dire need of upgrading. Spurs played a great game today and look like genuine title contenders but not sure if they are really that good or we (FB in particular) made them look...

Pep singled Fernando out for praise in that game, saying "Fernando made an amazing effort, because he had been injured for the last two weeks. He played a fantastic game." So I don't think Pep see's it that way. Hard to believe that 2 years ago Barcelona were considering both Bravo and...

According to this article: https://translate.google.ca/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://sevilla.eldesmarque.com/sevilla-futbol-club/85515-la-tarjeta-de-presentacion-de-samir-nasri&prev=search Nasri ran 10.58 kms in the game against UD Las Palmas, 2nd only to N'Zonzi, reaching a top speed of...

Great result for us.

Agreed. He's been immense. That backwards hook pass he played to Sterling's feet around the 20 minute mark was beauty.

The ball has nothing to do with determining whether a tackle is careless or dangerous. A tackle that hits the ball first can still be classed as careless (yellow) or dangerous (red) to the opponent.

Navas is in his final year of his contract I believe and is set to rejoin Sevilla on a free next year is what I understood.

While I won't say Navas is stinking up the place, Nasri would definitely be a better to keep if we have limited roster size. Navas works his ass off, but his end product isn't really where it should be for someone of his ability.

They signed Loris Karius as well this window, who injured his hand, but is expected to be back after the International Break. Was a former Manchester City trainee who was likely going to take over the number 1 spot. Can't see them bringing moving to Hart at this point.

Interesting what Pep had to say about the Hart situation in the presser: “Of course it is not an ideal situation but I will respect their contracts and the situation. I will be clear what will be the solution. “If all four stay here the best solution is for everybody to be involved in our...
