  1. The Rise of the Right Wing In Ireland.

    The "Coolock says No" mob are occupying the old paint HQ on the main road - claiming "1000's" of lone males will be housed there. They have turned it into an "encampment" shall we say. It's clearly an attempted land grab from some interested "locals" who have a lot of time on their hands Monday...
  2. Womens football and Maternity leave

    The "maternity leave" cover outside a transfer window seems like a good idea. A practical solution that will also be an opportunity for some players to shine in a different club.
  3. Antony Martial set to leave when his contract expires

    For me he's proved to be a waste of talent with a lack of application. Saha suffered with inuries even more but I never doubted his effort. When an aging Cavani shows you up for chasing down the goalie, pressing the last defender - (the sort of bread and butter things any forward does because it...
  4. Golden Slipper Winner

    I'd put some money on Lukaku to win - he will absolutely flat track bully the group stages for some heavy Belgium wins...then go to shit in important games and misses a few sitters.
  5. 2024 UEFA Champions League final — Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid — Wembley, Sat 1 June 20:00 BST

    Camavinga and Vini were best players for Madrid on the night. Everyone else very meh. Dortmund attack was woeful with terrible finishing. Sancho a busted flush.
  6. 2024 UEFA Champions League final — Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid — Wembley, Sat 1 June 20:00 BST

    So glad Moyes avoided the bullet of Kroos....having a functional midfield would have been so boring for the last decade!
  7. 2024 UEFA Champions League final — Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid — Wembley, Sat 1 June 20:00 BST

    Modric will come on... dink a little pass...goal for Madrid. Sancho non existent so far..will be glad that their #27 is gaving an even worse game.
  8. FA Cup final motivational video

    great video - but the fact that the song "one" is about a bitter and messy divorce....doesn't bode well for ETH!
  9. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    I'm most angry at Sancho for him to now be forcing me to support Real Madrid in a Champions League final. I feel used and dirty and will only feel better if Sancho does some massive screw-ups in the game, leading to multiple goals. Sorry Dortmund fans....I would have been on your side but that...
  10. Please welcome our new Smilies!

    I'm just thankfull we have somewhere free from aubergines and poo emojis!
  11. Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season

    love that detail, and the Nike "hsoows"
  12. Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

    So are the streets of Manchester lined 5 or 6 deep ready for this amazing Trophy parade then? or have they just about filled the town square again? Have they managed to get tired Manchester fun runners in to swell out the crowd?
  13. General Election 2024

    Yes this is a chance to heal the division created by Boris Johnson and his "Support Brexit or leave the party!" approach. Sadly I suspect the concept of "one nation Tory" is now defunct and they will just draft in more dreadful loons from the far right. I'm no fan of the tory party but it is...
  14. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    I think we are going to end up With McKenna as he is the cheapest option in terms of wages ,but also will help the club save money. Get used to the INEOS way of doing things! A "focus on youth" is a much cheaper option and I can't see Tuchel or Poch not wanting to spend big on players...
  15. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager / awaiting clarity from the club over his position

    Given the timing I think it suggests Frank was an unsuccessful candidate and his PR decided to leak. Typically you tell the other candidates once you have concluded negotiations with your chosen appointee. Then you go out to other candidates and say thanks but no thanks. The successful...
