    World Cup 2026

    I'm trying, I really am. I browsed the England tat at Sainsbury's yesterday, wondering if a t shirt would make me get into the world cup mood. Maybe even a vindaloo pukka pie. I'm trying to let the politics go, the insane profiteering, the fact fans are being dumped upon relentlessly. Then...

    General Videogame Thread

    Addicted to vampire crawlers currently. Cheap game again, like vampires survivors, and I've not really gotten too much into card games before, but this is great stuff. Half an hour for a run, and the sense of accomplishment you get when you progress and understand the mechanics and combinations...

    West Ham United Thread | 2025/26 - Owner Sullivan revealed as PL boss under investigation (P12)

    Inevitable that a small number of claims of inappropriate conduct would be made again him, he says, because he works in the adult industry? I'm not sure I buy that. If an industry has standards, boundaries and expectations of behaviour, i.e. if you're above board and not peddling dodgy gear...

    Media discussion - 2025/26

    If you can't compete on the pitch, make it about off the pitch. It's the only way that raggies can try and claim they remain relevant. Ooh look, we've got a new stadium. Just don't ask any details about funding, timeframes or location. Here's some mud being flung your way city, hopefully some...

    Sure. But that might be in one year or ten years.

    Khaldoon's end of season interview | Pt 1 (p3) | Pt 2 (p12)

    I watched a previous year's end of season interview (can't remember which one, how long as this been going on now!), was a timely reminder that Khaldoon promises us a no holes barred interview once the judgement is out. Whether legally he'll be able to do that fully I don't know, but it'll be...

    Khaldoon's end of season interview | Pt 1 (p3) | Pt 2 (p12)

    Good to hear that the club obviously recognises we need more on the transfer market, and I really believe that means a higher calibre of player, some players who are, or very shortly will be, on the top 5 or so in their position on the world (is what I expect anyway!) Add to that a couple of...

    9 | Erling Haaland - 2025/26

    Any Real fans would do well to take note of this candidate's penchant for bullsh*t. Promising things he can't deliver, spreading lies about release clauses. Either his sources are poor or he's a habitual liar. Not exactly the kind of person you want running your club, I'd imagine? Thankfully...

    General transfer rumours

    This one I don't get. He's really not been great for a couple of seasons, maybe more, and the Liverpool fans I know wanted him to stay purely because they're short of numbers and experience, or to rinse madrid of a fee in the next window. I imagine that Real are looking for the next Rudiger...

    Morgan Rogers

    If we're raiding villa, we could do a lot worse than go for a lower profile engine room recruit, such as Kamara or Onana. Would also have the added benefit of giving villa the funds they need to keep Rogers, an area we're well stocking in, rather than have to flog him to a rival..

    Southampton Spygate

    The crazy thing is that they probably didn't need to do it. That said, I'm surprised they've stood by the manager. Listening to some of the evidence, he distanced himself from having ordered the spying or from actually using the data, pretty much throwing interns and his own staff in front of...

    Raheem Sterling arrested after drug driving crash

    That's shocking and could have been fatal. I really think that this is the end of his football career. Regardless of the money and the status, people have a duty to people in our society. You're sharing the road with families, fathers, mothers, kids, grandparents, and by doing something so...

    Kevin Keegan diagnosed with cancer | Confirmed as stage 4

    Very sad news, my thoughts are with him and his family. Part of City folklore no doubt. I was actually about to type about how he brightened football for me in my teenage years, then I realised I was actually in my 20s during his reign! But I guess that is just how he made many of us feel. Keep...

    Liverpool Thread | 2025/26 | Iraola becomes unlikeable (p397)

    Slot has written a farewell to the Liverpool fans talking up his time there and saying he's left them exactly where Liverpool FC belongs. So I guess that's why he was sacked then, if he thinks 5th by the skin of his teeth, with no silverware elsewhere, is going to be sufficient to appease a fan...
