  1. Signing of the decade 2010-2019

    Godin and Vardy would be my two. Vardy, after signing from Fleetwood for £1m helped Leicester go up, stay up and then win the league inside 3 years. Amazing.
  2. Sven-Göran Eriksson | diagnosed with terminal cancer

    I think they were 4th at Christmas and then fell apart. Ended the season losing 8-0(?) to Boro under a certain Mr Southgate...
  3. What is the most memorable/iconic World Cup to you?

    The answer is clearly 1982. Two of the best World Cup games ever, West Germany vs. France SF and Brazil vs. Italy RR (unforgettable). Controversy with West Germany and Austria (disgrace of Gijon), Schumacher assaulting Battiston on the pitch and getting no foul. The false whistle in France...
  4. Sven-Göran Eriksson | diagnosed with terminal cancer

    Your posts are basically spot on. In 2006 England were awful. There was no chance they would have won that. Even a lot of the media was suggesting SF would be a fair result, which they weren't far off. Rooney was in great form that season but his and Owen's injuries meant we were toothless. The...
  5. The Championship 2019/2020

    Fulham had 89% possession at half time. Made 453 passes to Millwall's 30 odd in that half. Incredible.
  6. The Championship 2019/2020

    Interesting to see a number of you pick Bristol City as dark horses. We've sold two defenders for nearly £35m and haven't really replaced them so the back line which served us so well won't be as robust this season. Going forward we still need a goal scorer. There were pretty strong rumours we...
  7. Frank Lampard to Chelsea: Really?

    As a fan of a Championship football club I have to admit I am confused. Still slightly annoyed that Derby pipped us to the play-offs but Lampard's side was the most Sarri-esque in the league! Possession based but with limited forward threat. Interesting to see, if he does sign, whether that...
  8. How good was Sir Bobby Charlton?

    I can't believe there are some Manchester Utd fans who don't rate Charlton as one of the best. He is one of the greatest midfielders in the history of football! He had two feet, one of the most incredible shots, unbelievable stamina, incredible passing, did I mention he had two feet, and those...
  9. Let’s all laugh at Fontaine

    I thought this was a thread about the top scorer at the 1958 world cup.
  10. Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium

    Eden Hazard is a joy to watch. Such incredible technical ability.
  11. Aston Villa v Fulham | Fulham promoted

    You'd be surprised. Their wage bill is top 6 easily and their revenue not such. Mitrovic is on 30-40k pw, won't be able to afford that next year! Would need to cut back substantially next season without the parachute payments. The championship is a ruthless league. You've got the big boys...
  12. Aston Villa v Fulham | Fulham promoted

    I'm going today. Bristol City fan but my friend works for Fulham and is obsessed. Should be a really good game. Both sides finished on close to record points totals for 3rd and 4th place finishes. Suspect Villa will nick it, having seen both teams this season they are the more compact. They...
  13. Best World Cup song from your country?

    Well for me the obvious one from England is New Order - World in Motion. Complete with John Barnes rap and '66 voiceover. At the other end of the spectrum Vindaloo is a classic. 'Me and my mum, my dad and my gran went off to Waterloo, me and my mum, my dad and my gran with a bucket of...
