Ice Hockey can't be compared to football in any way. Firstly there is no ice hockey pyramid like football and certainly no promotion or relegation. You says it works fine but does it? In the last few years the Elite league the best division by far has lost , Edinburgh with one of the oldest...

So a new GB FA then meaning the end of the FA and the SFA, the FA being the oldest FA in the world. The new GBFA would probably be in England so that would please the Scots no doubt. You have 92 clubs in England plus hundreds of non league affiliated clubs, then ad on the 42? Scottish league...

Great news thank God , for once common sense seems to have won the day. I know lots of people have had their accounts demonetized, for so called wrong speech or thought. If people don't like a person's opinion, its simple don't read or follow them. The idea that most people are not capable of...

Feel very sorry for Matt, having lived in S.E. Asia these past 4 years , I expect like many Sky Blue expats I have found his videos a great source in keeping a closer connection to our team. In all his videos I have never heard anything remotely political or racist or sexist, or anything...

It will never happen and would be a financial disaster if it did. Firstly some EUFA/FIFA members have long resented the fact the 4 home nations each have a vote and have wanted the UK to be only allowed 1 vote. Secondly and perhaps more importantly imagine Inverness playing in the same league...

There are lies ,damned lies and statistics. Sadly what we are seeing is the creeping Americanisation of the sport with this obsession with statistics. Just look at some American sports where they have a statistic for every conceivable situation. The NFL GOAT is considered to be Tom Brady yet...

Exactly I can't believe people are so undervaluing the importance of the goalkeeper spot. The best 2 teams over the past few years Man City and Liverpool have both got world class keepers. When Man Utd were winning multiple trophies they had the best goalie in the World, when Arsenal were known...

Most players generally have strengths and weaknesses in their game, Collins has no strengths only weaknesses. His kicking is poor, catching is suspect, shot stopping is woeful, doesn't command his box, and worst of all he looks terrified of any physical contact. Maybe the VAR official did us a...

Especially the Bayern Munich EUFA Cup game.

Never understood the mantra that Collins is a better goalkeeper than Wilson. Last season Wilson was voted the best goalie in the Championship not 2/3/4 but the best, subjective I know, and we kept a record number of clean sheets. We sign a keeper from the 3rd tier and suddenly people assume he...

Exactly this, just as in cricket when they use umpires/referees call ,for any marginal decision, they use the umpire's decision. It works in cricket, the players now accept, and it is virtually never contoversial.

Binks ticks a lot of boxes for me as well. Tall, strong got a sweet left foot looks comfortable on the ball. Considering we have conceded plenty of goals lately I feel he has been unlucky not to start any games for weeks. I imagine the fees paid for other defenders and the fact he is a loan...

What I have never understood why football doesn't use the cricket system which works perfectly well, is clear and understood and is rarely controversial. If a LBW is appealed by the batsman or the bowling side, the process is clear and accepted by both sides. If the ball is clearly hitting the...

Exactly this some fans seemingly wanted him gone before he had even kicked a ball in anger for us this season. They just assumed he would be hopeless because he had been out injured for 12 months. Remember years ago lots of fans thought Maddison and Wilson would never make the big time and yet...

Indeed, watched most of their game against Leeds, ok it's a big local derby for them, but they played with a high intensity and made it really difficult for Leeds to make their better-quality count.

People who think Maguire is a great/good player just need to type Harry Maguire comedy into YouTube and watch some of the countless videos of the calamitous errors he has made over the years. He makes Lee Burge look a model of consistency. Or listen to Man Utd fans opinions of him, most...

To be fair both Simms and Hadji had poor starts to their career here. Simms recent transformation especially has been nothing short of sensational. He has gone from a player with seemingly, bad control, poor body language, missing gilt edged chances, being knocked off the ball easily, in and...

Leicester then.

Wilson -Not really tested, but another clean sheet. Lati- Decent performance, passing not always perfect. Thomas- Solid not really tested too much. Bidwell-Defensively sound, crossing not the best though. Torp- looks a quality player, shows a great awareness. Takes good set pieces, and always...

I'm not sure the big financial injection you get from promotion is the panacea some people think it is.. Yes your income increases hugely, but so do a teams' outgoings, salary's soar, as do transfer fees asked for. West Brom, Norwich, Watford, Cardiff,, Swansea ,Huddersfield in the Championship...
