the US women's team got mauled by a team comprised of a retired and 40+ Year old Lee Trundle. I'm all for promoting the women's game but I'm getting tired of it getting shoved down my throat that they're on the same level.

dont care

explains the defending

I know one thing for certain, we're going to have the highest scoring full-back in the division next season.

Ah, yeah I remember that now.

has a RB ever scored a hattrick before?

Exactly - its better if the 'big' teams (as in, those with the most fans all over the world) - stay at the top. Fcked up - I really don't understand why I still watch this sport.

Two pages on a player we have not signed yet or might not. Shouldn't this be in the transfer thread?

Heard he is a bit of a tub so should scrub him off the list even if he isn't a complete shower of shit.

Yeah, they are getting the wrong end of the stick. JDT's English is not the best and he isn't the type to say something demeaning about another club. Mowbray with his tankers and cars would though.

As long as his fitness stands up - I reckon we're going to get a fantastic season from JRC. Love his passion - have to admit I thought he was heading for the scrap heap. Fair play to him as aside from Wharton, he was probably my favourite player last season.

Surely you should always look to improve on the previous season - so that means playoffs at a minimum. Obviously, you have to factor in the departures we have had but this is also the first 'proper' window the new managerial team has had. Last summer was a last-minute rush and in January we all know what happened. One thing is certain in my mind - if the season doesn't go as planned, JDT will be off to pastures new.

Neither looks the most accidental of own goals do they? The header in particular.

Looks like he is trying to emulate Pep in looks as well as success.

Might have something to do with being subbed at half time.
