    Sincere condolences. Lovely story.
  3. Messi in Miami

    I wasn't referring to you directly when I said 'get over it' so please don't take it as a personal attack. I was commenting on the X post (unless that was you?).
  4. Messi in Miami

    If you didn't see the first half, Vissel hit the woodwork twice and had a great chance that was put over the bar from only a few yards out. I'm actually a Vissel season ticket holder. Vissel fans weren't happy with the game being played in Tokyo so the vast majority didn’t go. None of the...
  5. Messi in Miami

    He came on during the second half in Tokyo. Miami weren't great and the game was very much played at a pre-season pace. Most of the time Messi jogged and the odd time would break into a very short sprint. It was hardly a test of his fitness. He still was in a different class to everyone else...
  6. Is it worth playing McTominay up front?

    “People always said: ‘You played as a striker as a kid.' I never played as a striker. “I played two games there with [former Reserves coach] Warren Joyce because we had no striker. So, whenever I score a goal, people always say: ‘He used to be a striker, that’s why.’ “I never used to be a...
  7. Club Sale | It’s done!

    Wasn't Conte sacked or to put it into more diplomatic language 'left the club by mutual consent'? People seem to think he walked but I think I remember reading that he got a compensation package. Plus his contract was up that summer (think Spurs had about 10 games left that season).

  9. Kits are too tight - Players using replicas

    I would have thought that the kits were tailored? I remember listening to a programme on the BBC World Service just before the Rugby World Cup about the design/production of the French kit. They said that each player had their own tailored version. They produced something like 30 tailored kits...
  10. Anthony Elanga | signs for Forest

    Always had a bit of a soft spot for Elanga. Hope he does well there.

  12. Zion Suzuki - Goalkeeper

    That’s a good story, Can are pretty interesting. It’s ダモ in Japanese, which in English sounds like the ‘da’ sound from ‘dagger’ and the ‘mo’ sound from ‘mokasine’, if that makes sense. On the subject of saying names wrong, many moons ago I once had to spend a few days in hospital in Japan...
  13. Rasmus Højlund | Signed for United

    From your second link: In January 2023, 32 Cameroonian players in the country’s under-17 team failed MRI age testing in the build up to qualification games for the 2023 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations. The tests had been requested by the president of Fecafoot, Samuel Eto’o. That's insane. ——— I...
