  1. Everton 23/24 | R.I.P Bill Kenwright

    Everton aren't owned by 777 - and they'd do well to avoid getting taken over by them. Just read the news coming out about them - they are putting companies up for collateral that are made up or that they don't completely own. All the clubs they own aren't doing too well and there are regular fan...
  2. Ange Postecoglou | New Spurs boss on 4 year contract

    The thing with Conte is that he was brought in as a 'winner'. He wasn't brought into to build something - he was there to win trophies and get them regularly in the top four. They probably accepted the football would be quite dour at times and were happy to concede this for the possibility of...
  3. Ange Postecoglou | New Spurs boss on 4 year contract

    Typical caf. Gone from 'He's a great manager, how can he walk into Spurs and get them playing a new style whilst Ten Hag is struggling after a year - he's' to 'He's terrible' all in one season.
  4. Top 10 goalkeepers since 2000

    To name Howard, Fabianski, Foster, Hart and Lloris - and then later say 'I have no idea why DDG is on any of your lists' is a surprising shout. They were all average to good PL keepers - Hart and Lloris had very good seasons and were more towards the elite but the rest shown they couldn't hack...
  5. Wes Brown interview

    Quality player. Fergie said he was the best natural defender we had at the club. However he was never really first choice CB due to injuries and being able to stay fit consistently. The one season he did was in 07/08 at RB, and he was fantastic.
  6. The RedCafe Boxing Thread

    Thought the ref was really poor for the fight. Haney should have been deducted a point for excessive clinching. You can tell he never really expected that beatdown and he couldn't handle Garcia's power. It would be good to see the fight again - where both make weight. Garcia's power was...
  7. The RedCafe Boxing Thread

    Garcia weighed in 3 pounds overweight. Paid Haney $500,000 for each pound overweight apparently. Not really sure why this fight is going ahead with what's been happening with Garcia - unless it's all an act.
  8. Europa League / Conference League 23/24

    Yeah he's done really well. Is it a repeat of a club legend doing really well initially after taking over from Mourinho though? Like Ole
  9. Van de Beek to Frankfurt | Loan with no mandatory buy option.

    I agree his performances have been poor this season. In his defence, he's played nearly every minute since he's joined, played through injuries, always plays for Portugal and covers over 10km per game. That would have an affect on any player - he's not one to converse his energy either. I'm...
  10. Chelsea 2023/24 season thread.

    They'll probably have a large batch of youngsters that we don't know too much about that will fetch a decent fee. Even the likes of Gilchrist, Hall & Hutchinson.
  11. Post match vs Liverpool

    Did well to get a point considering where we were at HT. Stupid tackle by AWB, he doesn't need to live up to his nickname all the time especially in and around the box. Defence apart from that was pretty solid. Obviously the massive issue was with our midfield and ball retention. First time...
  12. Manchester United vs Liverpool

    Keep turning the ball over too easily, Bruno especially even in deeper areas. Can't progress the ball well enough from the CB's. Need legs in the centre of the park.
  13. Roberto De Zerbi - Brighton manager

    I think he's a quality manager and he'd do very well at a big club. I can see him going Bayern in the summer.
  14. Premier League Gameweek 30-32

    How's that a penalty? Crazy decision.
