Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season
McKenna is a promising coach but not ready to handle the Manchester United juggernaut. He needs a few more seasons of top level management before he can manage a club as big as Manchester United. Manchester United specialises in appointing the right person at the wrong time: 2013: Moyes (when Mourin...

Re: Xavi to Leave Barcelona
What a soap opera. First he resigned, then he changed his mind and decided to stay on. Then Barcelona took the decision out of his hands and fired him. Hansi Flick is the favourite to replace Xavi.

Re: How da hayell did Ivan Toney not make the England squad?
…and now the FA has charged West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta for allegedly getting booked deliberately in 4 separate games in order to influence betting on those games.

Re: ASHLEIGH PLUMPTRE
I watched a documentary about penalties that jogged my memory about this thread. It featured interviews with several players who have taken part in penalty shoot outs - including Antonin Panenka (inventor of the penalty of that name). Panenka revealed that before the iconic penalty shoot out between...

Re: Lookman dumps Nigeria
It is amazing what a change of environment can do for a player. I remember Lookman looking really raw at Fulham, Everton, and Leicester. Who can forget his disastrous attempt at a Panenka penalty for Fulham in the 98th minute with his team losing and facing relegation. He rightly gor criticised for ...

Olise is unlikely to get into this current France team. Who would Deschamps drop to accommodate him? World Cup and Champions League winner Coman? World Cup winners Griezmann and Dembele? Or two time World Cup finalists Mbappe?
