eastcoast 4,181 Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 WHU v NUFC, just in case anyone still waits to watch on MOTD, without giving the result, due to poor refereeing Karma saved it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only non premier league side to win the win FA Cup. But there's been a few teams who have won it from the second tier of English football. I like West Ham. Wonderful feeder club for Man Utd.

jukel123 8,470 Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Watched the Arsenal v Man City game. 90 minutes I won't get back. Some quick fit men playing a non contact sport. It's like a martial art demoted to hitting an opponent with balloons. The goal was heralded as a piece of wonderful skill. It was a deflection. The games dying in my eyes, but modern punters think it's wonderful. Bah. Humbug. Edited October 9, 2023 by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 8,470 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 How good is Bellingham? At current crazy prices, I would say bids should start at about £250,000000 . Looks like he is an elite player already and he is still a kid. Pity Madrid got him. He's probably at the best club for his talent, but I would love to have seen him play in the premiership. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Undoubtedly the best player in the world on current form, he has the lot... this is some England squad at the minute, best all round squad I can remember... centre backs would be my only concern Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are right about Bellingham being the best at the moment. Looks like he sold his soul to the devil to be that good lol. Agree about the centre backs, they are too wooden and unathletic. They will be found out against the best sides. Still beating Italy is not a shabby result. Good on em. Edited October 17, 2023 by jukel123 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it isn’t and has nothing to do with it ?…….but maybe that league has better options for young players to play at the top level every week and learn their craft ? I don’t know, but I just found it interesting that a player so good decided to take himself away to Germany young because he obviously thought that was the best option and it seems to have worked.

chartpolski 24,284 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I think Belingham has the potential to be the GOAT, he’s extremely good now, but what disappointed me about him last night was when an Italian pushed him in the chest, he went down like he’d been pole axed and rolled around holding his face ! He doesn’t need to do that. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know mate, I think our coaching at the top clubs would be up.there personally, look at the talent coming through in England, the u21s winning the euros etc. I do think you can't argue the time he spent in Germany has worked for him, but he is very natural, he just looks a player in everything he does, his decision making is like a 28 year old... there isn't a flaw is there! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 24,284 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Looks like Newcastle will lose their record signing, Tonali, for at least a year. In the Italian betting scandal, he originally said he only played blackjack and poker, but now admits to betting on Milan games. The other player who held his hands up immediately got 12 months ban reduced to 7 months in plea bargain. Worst case scenario for Tonali is 3 year ban ! Cheers.

Big blow for you, he's looked really good. Been a few of these over the years, back to the Bruce Groballer case, obviously Ivan Tony at the minute.. always has a gambling culture around football, but you can't be betting on your own team ffs!

They’ve got the betting records from his phone and it shows he only bet on Milan to win and when he wasn’t playing. He’s using this as mitigation, but betting on sports your involved in is illegal in Italian law, not just their F.A. Hell be a big miss, but I’ve no sympathy for him. He knew the score, no pun intended ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 8,470 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Stop the press! A first for THL! We all agree about Bellingham. Going for a lie down. It's too much for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
