Arsenal hand Amorim his first defeat and hopefully will also deprive them of the FA Cup at the first hurdle. No shortage of goals in the PL tonight that's for sure.

For a Championship level club it's not even beyond the scope of realism. Hell a league 2 club reached a domestic final not too long ago. Not to mention for some clubs it may be their only real chance of a honour or the only thing they will win (besides a lower league title, promotion or competitions for lower league clubs) in living memory. Of course because of Jack Walker (who was unfit in the eyes of that idiot who owns Accrington) that isn't the case for many people on here.

Plymouth would have a better chance staying up if they appointed Steve Kean than keeping Rooney. That's how useless he is. Another humiliation for him today and of course none of it will be his fault. Poor Plymouth but they have brought it on themselves. No wonder they beat you a few weeks back they probably got an adrenaline boost knowing they wouldn't have to listen to the idiot on touchline at their next game after being sent off. I don't know why Lampard gets so much abuse it was the same as a player. He always seems to get a bit of disrespect. Of course Rooney has had his detractors too (mainly from being a thick thug) but how anyone can mock Lampard's managerial abilities and defend him is bizarre.

Well it exists now.

Another key word should be despivification though obviously it's not a step they have ever taken.

Seen a few digs at Haaland (3 goals yesterday) for not playing in Euros as if it's his fault. It's pretty clear that he carries that team as much as he can and if they still can't qualify with him they must not be very good! Just some nasty pundits and certain elements of media with an agenda. If he played for San Marino they would probably blame him. Watched Italy V France last night but judging by the scoreline Tuchel must be very pleased with what he saw.

I've only ever been to one boxing card. It was for the short lived Probellum at Sheffield Arena 2 years ago but violence for the sake of violence isn't the main draw for me. It's personality (Tyson in this case and he's always been somewhat of a freak show just an extremely funny one)) but the prices for top level boxing are crazy. Maybe that probellum one is still on YouTube and separate footage of a strange crowd incident they cut out which disrupted one of the preliminaries. It's not that uncommon at boxing events apparently for fighting to take place far more common than football in this country at least. Tyson said he almost died a few months ago too so it's no wonder he got tired. I did see some of the women's match after putting Netflix on and that impressed me. Just a shame women's wrestling bores me to death. Speaking of Netflix apparently they had issues but it only froze once for me once before Tyson's fight and then it was fine after that. Can't really comment on the pundits because it was treated as a celebrity deal. Ranallo I was familiar with from wrestling thought he was OK.

Tyson gets "too real" and talks of death "Too real" apparently. For not telling a fairy story? The truth hurts sometimes. Interview Mike Tyson and what you see is what you get.

How much of that went in Howard Walker's pocket for his "special appearance?"

If Tyson disposes of Jake maybe he could move on to his sibling Logan. That would be the right financial thing to do but perhaps the WWE commitments would prevent it. It's clear who the fans in Dallas are supporting.

Including previous owners like Jack Walker. When are you going to say enough is enough and since when was this site visceral? Got banned for a year just for calling people parasites.

Inviting Howard Walker to events that's what he stands for. Look at his avatar too says it all.

Yes that explains your usage of the word "owt" it's such a common term abroad isn't it? Tuchel referred to as the "German bloke" in the Sun in another riveting piece of intelligent journalism. Who the hell cares where he's from?

Tyson not the bookmakers favourite for his upcoming exhibition. That's interesting. Will certainly take a look at that. Live on Netflix. Should read the book by Tyson on his mentor Cus D' Amato. A strange man but not always a bad thing.

VAR check for what was a blatant penalty in the clash between Inter and Napoli. Calhanoglu smashed one in from outside the box in the first half and most people probably assumed he would convert the penalty but you can never guarantee things like that. Infact the longer you have an outstanding penalty record the sooner it is likely to end however good you are. Speaking of the stadium it's so iconic that it can't even be demolished. Napoli have also had several discussions over the future of the Maradona stadium. Of course Milan is no longer hosting the European Cup Final in 2027. It's a shame that ahead of the 2032 European Championships there will probably be more "mcstadiums". Some of the stadium designs in Europe have no creativity whatsoever. Do corporate demands have to mean you can't show the slightest creativity? By no means should stadiums be falling apart either. AS Roma and Lazio planning on new stadiums too. Speaking of Roma fired their manager yesterday after just 12 games.

I miss Vince. Hopefully his new business will be of interest to me even if it isn't wrestling related. 27 years ago today since that infamous night in Montreal. Turned out to be the best thing that could have happened as it led to the McMahon v Austin feud and record popularity.

Sure their ex players bow to their every demand but who the hell do they think they are telling other pundits what to say? As for reflecting badly on the club where do you start? As for Amorim don't know him don't like him. Hope he's a miserable failure though it possibly won't be his fault as they have no patience whatsoever.

How long will Ratcliffe and the Glazers get along if the former (presumably) gets this "wrong". A bunch of poisonous snakes working together hopefully they go even further backwards. Ferguson will presumably have some input even if he's not their so called ambassador or whatever it is any more. Berrada and Whorecox might have some input too.

It depends on the fanbase too. Sometimes as people on here should know it's sometimes better to have one fan with a strong mentality. Fans fall out all the time it's just asking for trouble. You need someone to keep them in line without constantly disrespecting and and insulting them even if they might deserve it. Also I don't like the way Dietmar Hopp was treated after all the money he put into his club and things like medical research and foundations for curing cancer. I believe Wolfsburg are an exception due to ownership circumstances which as far as I know works out OK. Then you have Red Bull of course though their main insensitivity extends to Salzburg. New York to a lesser extent though Metrostars was a much better name. They also insist on naming every one of their stadiums the same and that's what they are. Stadiums. Not arenas. These movements (often led by "wish I was in La Bombonera" types) need to accept some aspects of capitalism and stop pretending they are more noble than they are. Clubs like Union Berlin have grown rapidly from seemingly nowhere but they have made concessions and they are going to have to make more and more. The only top tier club in major European leagues perhaps which has stuck to some unique principles is Athletic Bilbao. That wouldn't work as well for everyone signing players on regional basis. It would be better too if UEFA and their cartel sycophants accept that owners can spend their own money and stop throwing corrupt obstacles in the way. Fans should speak out about it more especially those who have had benefactors or have them now. You have hypocritical exceptions of course like Gibson and that oaf Whelan who were happy to spend when it suited them. I believe in 2003 before Abramovich appeared it was Middlesbrough who were top of the losses table over a number of years. Gibson wasn't the only one who saved them from liquidation either as he likes to let people think.

It appears that another club is the latest target of a "celebrity" takeover...Tranmere. This one might be true one of the people said to be involved is connected to the Italian club SPAL. Incidentally some of you might know what SPAL stands for. They also play in blue and white. Is this the latest trend? It may very well be. I thought others would follow Abramovich and I was right. Hence one of the reasons for my desire of a takeover 20 years ago once the severe neglect became more and more apparent and proved to be true. Guess I was "the oracle" after all. With FUP owners should try and get more sports figures or actors on board. People were saying that singer Swift's endorsement was a huge deal for Harris (though probably not huge enough). Hypothetically if she had an interest in football would a ton of her fans follow like sheep? Is that the way forward when owners can't spend their own money? Don't think anyone is going to spend 500 million in the Roverstore without any ownership stake anytime soon. Look at Wrexham they had TikTok sponsor on their shirt though I don't think much of their current one. Sure Waggott loves it. If Venkys eventually sell (certainly if something happened to Balaji as he might be the only thing keeping Madame and third wheel around) maybe they could look to one of their Bollywood friends as they are big on "saving face". Early on they were called "celebrity chasers" with the Maradona link perhaps that's the way forward for you. One of them anyway.

Not much of a show at the new Coop Arena tonight. Wasn't expecting that much from an untelevised show but as the first event at a new building there was a slight hope for a little more. Steel cage match main event was a bit slow (sometimes a good thing with so much flippity flop) with Cody R v Sikoa but once again there was the feeling that you don't go "all out" at an untelevised event. Obviously wasn't expecting a major title change but something noteworthy enough to mention on TV perhaps. Think they were trying to break a world record with how long they played Orton's music after his match. Only one women's match (a so called street fight) which is always a good thing. Facility is fine. Didn't take too long to get in and left right away when the main event concluded so the metro wasn't overcrowded. I like it when the lighting is "stripped down" you don't need 20 boards all repeating the same thing.

Wouldn't have happened with Pol Pot Pegden and Kim Jong SteB.

If there was some sort of statue Waggott probably would have slapped a red devil on it anyway.

It's a strange move and unnecessary. As someone from Dortmund put it "a great career and then he does this at the finish line". Reminds me of someone else who just this past April pissed away his legacy to a far worse extent for absolutely no reason.

Rooney and learning lessons. That's always been his problem. An unbeaten run that consists of a few games proves nothing. It's yet another false start for you (addressing the forum here).
