    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I find it impossible to believe we get off Scott-free, so every Tom, Dick & Harry will hang their hat on whatever little technical issue for which we have been deemed liable. From there, whatever wrist slap is imposed will be lelieved to be bent, because we will have paid for it to not be a big...

    Enzo Maresca

    Unless you have the legal documents that lay out his separation agreement, I’d politely suggest that “fact” is conjecture, at best.

    Enzo Maresca

    Not quite sure what everyone is so hot and bothered about with Maresca, his Chelsea hangover and style of play?! The club will deal with any Chelsea hangover. His style of play is Pep + more aggressive pressing and attacking. EM appears to favor a 2-3-5/2-2-6 going forward to completely...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Does that make him a PGMOL referee, too, then???

    Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

    He’s the glue that holds the team together. He stops more than he creates, but can still create.

    Frank Carrodus and Tony Towers

    Beat me to it! I was going to say the exact same thing about Frank (cultured, but lightweight), and he struck me as a young Tommy Hutchinson type player. Tony the Tiger was, indeed, a “Growler”!! ;/) He seemed like a slightly younger Gerry Gow, but a better player than Gerry. Sorry for the...

    Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

    120M whats?? You may notice I used £, not €. £100M is about €116M. And, notice the potential add-ons and deal structure go put them in a great cash position to cover the cost of replacements and detract SIGNIFICANTLY from their FFP/PSR troubles. Lastly, I’m sure the **** never changed his...

    Enzo Maresca

    Thought it was in his contract that he had to tell them if he was talking to anyone else. He informed them, they fired him. At least that was my understanding when he got fired! BBC reported that “Enzo and the club concur that a change offers the best opportunity.”

    Referees' Performances | 2025/26

    Kevin Lynch is a brilliant storyteller, whom I’ve seen a few times in YouTube clips. He talks about a game in Italy where they wanted to give the officials Armani and cars!

    World Cup 2026

    Cramp should not entail a stoppage of play. If play is stopped in the last 10 mins of the game for ANY “injury,” the player should have to be removed from the field of play for 2 minutes or substituted. As for players congregating around their bench while an injured player is being tended to...

    Oh, I agree. But he was particularly brazen and obvious about it!
