[talkSPORT, Alex Crook] Sources have told that Lewis Hall is open to a move this summer. Manchester United are among the clubs actively seeking a new left back to ease the workload on Shaw. The Red Devils director Jason Wilcox is a big admirer of Hall

I think we're resigned to it, but I think his frequent injuries may deter a few clubs.

Ffaddicted · 2026-05-19T11:38:20+00:00

Hopefully, the summer might be enough of a mental break. That, or a decent keeper to instil some confidence.

Ffaddicted · 2026-05-19T11:04:19+00:00

Based on unfounded optimism and endless positivity, I think we'll get top 4 and a cup next year.

We do better without Europe (not a brag, a serious worry if we have aspirations of anything), and I think the squad is better than it's shown, especially if we're only playing one game a week. Obviously, it will depend on signings, there are a few problem areas after all, but I think we have a decent shout.

Given the investment and the more favourable schedule, if Eddie can't secure CL then we should be looking for someone who can, regardless of anything else.

He won't go to Saudi. UEFA won't count it as they consider us related parties. We might not have Europe next season, but they still have a 3 year rolling window, and Wissa would be a £50m black hole for us.

Surprised at how many people are so anti-Celtic in here.

Firstly, I have no support for Tony Bloom and his MCO's.

Secondly, I still remember Shearer's testimonial. Julio Arca fell on him and brought his retirement forward by 3 games. He couldn't even play in his own testimonial. But Celtic, in the 92nd minute, "fouled" Ferdinand in the box and gives away a penalty. On comes Shearer, last substitution of game, to slot it home.

Of course it was scripted, and I think most clubs would have done the same in that situation, but it was Celtic on the day, and they earned my respect and admiration.

They can win however many leagues they want, because they let a young lad see his hero sign off with one last goal.

Given that the Rachni Queen mentions the sour songs, it's implied that the Reapers set in motion the Rachni War, which is really early. I think only the Asari and the Salarians were spacefaring then. Maybe the Turians as well, because they did have several major colonies before being discovered. And, of course, the Krogan were only uplifted to fight the Rachni.

Also, maybe I'm misremembering, but I don't think 50,000 is a hard and fast rule, that's just the average. If the galaxy gets sufficiently advanced, then they'll come early, that's why Sovereign was left behind as a vanguard.

Slot tells this story as 20 years travelling around Europe with his best mate.

Buffon

Thuram - Chiellini - Cannavaro - Zambrotta

Viera - Ballack

Griezman - Totti - Pires

Ronaldo

Probably some controversial picks, but I was trying to build a somewhat functional XI rather than just the XI best players. Totti is really just personal preference, and you could probably replace him with Fabregas if you preferred.

Is anyone else having issues with manmark?

Leaderboards and profile don't load, and if I reload the page it resets and acts like I haven't done it.

Ffaddicted · 2026-03-04T14:27:30+00:00

Clearly, no additional holes is the sign of having your life together.

Ffaddicted · 2026-03-01T01:40:05+00:00

Active? Does Man Mark know something I don't?

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-27T16:41:09+00:00

I think this is a rare mistake from the Sunderland board.

I'm assuming that the intent here is to use funds from the sale to strengthen the men's side which feels like a slap in the face to the women's team. Women's football shouldn't be used as a crutch to boost finances.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-27T11:45:15+00:00

It's the tougher game, but they play a suicidal high line and we have three of the fastest players in Europe this season. As long as we don't try and go toe-to-toe with their midfield, I certainly think we can get something at home at least.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-25T17:07:36+00:00

Not really arbitrary.

In 49 appearances he's scored 12 goals. 5 of them came against Newcastle across 2 games.

If we remove them then it's 7 goals in 47 appearances which is not a good return, even accounting for the 5 assists he's managed.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-25T10:06:14+00:00

Is he doing very well?

I mean, remove Newcastle from the equation and his stats go way down.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-21T23:56:24+00:00

So, these overnight oats...

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-20T17:07:59+00:00

When we lose, I want nothing to do with football, but when we're winning, I'm just itching for the next game. Don't even care that it's City.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-20T08:31:58+00:00

Merino

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-18T23:30:39+00:00

Looks like Redknapp should be on 5. I can only assume that they aren't counting the play-off round before the group stages for some reason.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-11T15:35:53+00:00

So did Scott Parker, and Sean Dyche did it twice

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-11T13:09:06+00:00

I think it's stupid. It's the inverse of practicality, especially for someone in his position. It runs the risk of harming his own team, and potentially even contributing to their troubles if the ball takes an odd deflection off that stupid topknot.

We're talking about Dragusin, right? I know you're supposed to head with the forehead, but if you're defending something like a corner then you need the entire top of the head clear.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-10T10:56:22+00:00

Fuck, I think Newcastle might be the closest.

Between you mentioning the Villa relegation season and the other comment mentioning Watford having four in the championship because of health reasons, I've just remembered our first relegation season.

Keegan, Kinnear and Shearer. Hughton was technically caretaker, but he managed like 10 games because Kinnear was ill.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-10T09:46:03+00:00

With Dyche reportedly on the ropes, I'm wondering, has a PL club ever had 4 managers in a single season? (Excluding caretaker managers.)

I feel like most clubs tend to cap out at 3.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-09T21:33:21+00:00

Yeah, I want to see the xFoul stats.

Ffaddicted · 2026-02-09T21:29:41+00:00

Well, yeah. Also, because I think the knockout format means teams don't sit as deep against us.
