Urawa Reds is a mean name.

Good move, imo - stops people buying STs to just sell them on the re-sale market. Try telling that to the pregnant woman who wants to keep her seat but is unlikely to be able to attend that many games. Or the cancer patient who will be receiving six months of intensive chemo etc. I get what you are...

stealthpapes Ex-Leeds, now plays in France.

any good? Just noticed his name in both squads, that's all I know of him

The little I've seen, I'd go with "solid but not spectacular". Son of Richard Cresswell, as pointed out above.

Scored in last night's game.

Mings proving he's just not that type of player again.

Ex-Leeds, now plays in France.

given the thread, any thoughts on the U-21s today?

Our ranking is possibly somewhat inflated; beating relatively good teams (i.e. top 15) in tournaments adds points. Not really, the effect of a match depends quite heavily on two things. *(perceived) importance of game *gap between teams using the example of England being 4th and playing a team in 5...

Whilst not a transfer as such (as it is a player leaving a side rather than joining one) but I thought it was worth a mention. Scott Carson will leave Manchester City this Summer at the end of his contract. He has been at the club for 6 Years, 2 of them initially on loan from Derby, joining permane...

really interesting It Was What It Was podcast this morning which is on the 84/85 season and the violence going on at games. Lots of incidents I didn't know about, as behaviour at matches really deteriorated. The end of season includes the Bradford fire and Heysal. That season also had Birmingham vs...

You could probably do something similar with Ronnie Moran at Liverpool, he joined the club as a player in 1952, and finally hung up his coaching boots in 1998. He played alongside Billy Liddell, who joined Liverpool in 1938, and coached Jamie Carragher, who retired and left Liverpool in 2013. A pro...

Depends how you look at it, in 1985 there were a ton of players at ManU that hadn't played under Fergie. So unless ManU bought players off of East Stirling (in 1974) or St Mirren (between 1974 and 1978) or Aberdeen (after 1978), then 2025-26 will be the first season since 1985-86 without a player a...

I nearly suggested an "Azerbaijan team" but couldn't remember if they were in it or not. Surely there should be some element of regionalisation in the qualifying rounds to prevent that kind of draw occurring Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan all in Europa Conference League The only...

It's nice, but its missing a giant cryto casino firm on the front with no traceable presence before April 2024.

A team from the Azores qualified for Europe from Portugal. https://scontent-lhr6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/494726754_711372974613731_4564114592071410028_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg_tt6&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=AtfcI40Ie7EQ7kNvwEaAYqw&_nc_oc=Adlq4Yb5YcmiTpgDZ85TQlL8...

I have honestly seen so little of him I couldn't judge. We deffo moved into a weird era some time ago though where clubs are so desperate for the next superstar, and they have so much money to throw around, that just scoring a handful of goals in one season in the top division is enough for someone...

I didn't put any of my non-league ones down, but here's three from the West Mids area *Halesowen - two sides of seats/terraces, the rest a bowl in a dip in the ground, banging real ale pub near the entrance *Stourbridge - shared with cricket club, so one side opens up to the cricket ground. Big cove...

The worst bit about the Abbey ground was that field you had to walk through to get to the away end.

I'll go out for bat - the guy explains exactly why, and its why there's also the run of: 78) Pride Park Stadium (Derby) 79) St Mary’s Stadium (Southampton) 80) King Power Stadium (Leicester) quite low down. It's subjective sure, but it's not inexplicable. My personal experience of two of those (not ...

There's a cop film with Jon Voight and he gets sent to hide in Reading. He's not happy.

All I'm saying is we need a twin pagoda.
