    Invincibles? I hate doing this but....

    I would be very surprised if we did it. Firstly, playing Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and United away won't be easy games at all. I can see certainly see at least 1 loss in those games if I'm honest. And I always think when we play some of the 'bogey' teams like Palace they are able to do us with...

    Ivan Toney

    By rights, Toney should be thinking he's a proven PL goalscorer who's also a full England international. He's coming to the peak of this career and quite rightly, you can't blame him for wanting to move on from Brentford. He should be looking now at bids from Arsenal who need a striker...

    Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

    I'm happy for Gundo to come back - pace was never his game so it's unlikely his legs will be shot! Of course, he knows the team and the system inside out. He can cover a number of positions and is probably THE central midfielder who carries a real goal threat and he's scored many an important...

    Kalvin Phillips

    It's a very good move for him I think and fair play for him going there. Firstly, McKenna is a highly rated coach and it's likely he'll be moving on at the end of the season to bigger things. If Phillips wants to resurrect his career then McKenna is someone who can get a game out of him and...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    One of the best write ups I've read mate and totally agree with all your points! How you make a soulful album that's completely produced yet - as you say - fragile and human at the same time takes a very special ear and talent to make.

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    Sorry all, I've been mad busy with work again and then managed to get away on holiday which was very much needed! I remember hearing this album on one of the last family holidays I went on with my Mum, Dad and brother. We'd arrived in Spain and it was warm and the sun was going down and I'd...

    Joao Felix

    He didn't do well at Chelsea but he's not the first player or manager to tank there recently. When I've seen him I think he looks technically gifted with very good feet. However he looks short on confidence and maybe that's the big fee in the past and maybe signing for the wrong club. I don't...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    It's an absolute classic album and like you say Rob, I can't imagine hearing this when it was released. It really does sound like something unleashed from the underworld! It's such an iconic album and one you can argue starts "heavy metal". Even now nearly 60 years later it brims with menace...

    Gareth Southgate

    If Klopp is available and fancied the job after a rest, the FA would be mad to turn him down. Pep is simply the greatest manager this country has ever seen. No one comes close to him in my book. However if Pep wasn't around then it's almost certain Klopp would be right up there with the...

    FA confirm Southgate will stay on until after Euro 2024 (p 101)

    I agree. We were an absolute shambles when he took over and he's got the team bonding well, has done well with the PR and got us to finals and semis which isn't to be sniffed at. You can only play who you are told to play in the tournaments. However, after the group games he lost me. I thought...

    I Need a New Broadband Provider - Any Recommendations Appreciated.

    Just bumping this as I'm looking for a new provider. Virgin are taking the piss with the prices now and not offering any deals at all, despite being with them for a few years now. I'm always wary switching providers as I need it for work.

    Is Manchester airport the worst in Europe?

    Another one who prefers Liverpool, it's not much further in the car but the whole experience is miles better than the appalling Manchester airport. When you park up, it's next to the airport. There's rarely any queues when checking in and going through security and the whole atmosphere it just...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    Sorry everyone I've been insanely busy recently and just not really checked BM much, if at all, for the last few weeks. I finally got a bit of rest the last couple of days and saw the thread had a new album so had a listen to it. Spotify described it as Scottish folk-ambient so I was a bit...

    Denmark v England - Thu 20th June, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Group C

    Any manager who takes off Saka, Foden and Kane because they aren't playing well needs to have a serious look at themselves.

    Denmark v England - Thu 20th June, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Group C

    I have been a big supporter of Southgate before the tournament and have frequently said that outside of Sir Alf, he's the best manager we've had. No one else has ever taken us to a final and he's turned playing for England from a chore to a pleasure. However, I've been VERY disappointed with...

    Jude Bellingham

    I'm genuinely surprised there's so much negativity towards him if I'm honest. He moved the Dortmund and won the Player of the Season. He's moved to Real and scored 19 goals in 28 games and won La Liga Player of the Season. He plays with a real maturity about him and looks like a top class...

    Smartwatch... Garmin or ?

    Another vote for the Garmin - superb piece of kit. I have the 745 but really use it for running/other sports rather than swimming but it's absolutely brilliant. I've worn it whilst swimming but as I'm not really a swimmer I've never bothered with the stats but it's had no problems in the pool...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    Great album from a great band. Weller is a genius and the lyrics on this are brilliant. Not only that, there's enough hooks on the album to keep you going too. Down in in the... must rank as one of the best pop songs written! 9/10

    Is it time for a mini-rebuild?

    I certainly wouldn't be getting rid of them at all. Personally I hope they don't leave apart from Nunes and Phillips as they simply aren't good enough. However there's questions around a few of them and some hard decisions need to be made, that's all I'm saying. For example if we can get...

    Bruno Guimaraes

    I hope we get him, he's a class act. Now that the Paqueta story seems to be growing, I think he will be great signing. He's able to pick out passes and has the movement which would really make a big difference for us. He's easily been Newcastle's best player whenever I've seen him play for them...
