Moving ALL world cup games to a winter schedule.

Just read an article in which FIFA want to run this competition every two years - apparently United are really keen on the idea. Don't know why as they will never qualify legitimately. About time the players kicked back at all these stupid ideas - instead of simply threatening to strike - DO...

I have borrowed our sons iPad. On both my desktop computer and laptop runnning Windows 10 / 11 i ca access the full commentary on the OS site of our matches. But on the iPad when I clicked the "Follow Live" button the screen goes blank. If I don't click the link I can see the volume bar...

The current method of taking goal kicks by passing to defenders inside the box is fraught with danger. I have just watched the A-League game between Wellington and Auckland. In time added on Wellington's goalie really stuffed up with the distribution - result Auckland scored. And as Wellington...

October 25th was the big day - a couple of days prior we knocked in five goals, I hoped we would score three against Southamton which would mean over the two games it would be 8-0. Not to be, but the milestone became even better when I saw the rags had been beaten by a controversial VAR decision.

Not sure where to post this .................... I have just watched the video on the OS describing the design and construction of their statue. Very interesting and at times quite emotional, especially for Colin's son when he saw the mock-up model. Well worth watching.

I just Googled the Golden Boot standings and was "blown away" when I saw a picture of three contenders. Why? There in full colour was a picture of Rashford. Surely, he is a contender for the Wooden Clog not the Boot!

I have only seen video clips of both games - so here is my opinion. Kevin's goal (the seventh) was best of that game. Alvarez's second (the sixth) the best in that game. But the best of the thirteen to my mind has to be Alvarez's -- started with the pass from Ortega and then KBD played an...

On the NZ MSN web site there is an item --- The Ten Most Valuable Players in the World. Amongst the names were Phil Foden and Erling Haaland Didn't notice any names from the Lancashire red brigade.

I have just watched / listened to our Chairman's interviews and he mentioned 'An ARENA'. Anyone out there who can give me an insight into what it will be used for?

Just seen the candidates on the OS and I want to vote for at least FOUR - two from Rodri and Bernado's at Villa plus of course Gundo's second on Sunday. The OS will not let me have more than one attempt though.

I discovered this site this afternoon when I wanted to have a look at the rags' missed penalty. Latest premier league highlights | HooFoot

The clowns at FIFA have put a proposal forward to have the World Cup every two years - what next. Cancel all domestic and continental leagues and just have a WORLD league. Not surprising that UEFA are opposed to the suggestion - how would they schedule their European tournaments?

I've just seen that Ronaldo as to go into isolation for five days after playing for Portugal. Will our players be similarly effected? I thought the EPL had suggested clubs should not let players go overseas if they had to isolate on return.

This season we have seen Liverpool collapse because in the past couple of seasons Klopp played an unchanged side in almost every game except for domestic cups (which he obviously doesn't rate). Result - players are knackered. Whereas Pep constantly rotates his players to keep them relatively...

Last night I watched a TV programme on Billy Connolly and it reminded me of something I did in the 1980s. We were working at the Hikurangi Dairy Company (a few miles north of Whangarei in NZ's North Island). A colleague and I were staying at the hotel/pub - a typical old colonial establishment...

This Forum was quite bland during the lock down. I didn't spend too much time as postings became quite repetitive. Now it is back with many interesting comments and heated discussions, not only about the CAS decision, the corruption masquerading as VAR, but especially whenever we get beat...

How many penalties have we been awarded this season? How many penalties have we conceded? How many penalties have the rags had this season? Just curious, no hidden agenda.

Yesterday morning I watched our team score nine goals against Burton. Last night I got a phone call telling me my 7-year old grandson had drowned at Raglan beach. He was born in New Zealand, never been out of the country but often proudly wore his Kun Aguero shirt. His father, our son named...

Firstly I hope I have spelt his name correctly. Secondly, to my mind he is always detrimental to City. On the Prime TV highlights package today he analysed Kun's goal in the Derby by criticising De Gea for poor positioning. He could not bring himself to enthuse over the one-two, narrow angle and...
