Re: Things that are gone that you miss

Toilet paper.

The High street - Now it is full of betting shops, charity shops or a sprinkling of other shops. Before everything went online or the big out of town shopping centres/areas the high street or centre of town had a life to it. Now it is just drab.

Re: Midweek games

Watching Barcelona is like watching west ham at the moment.

Under constant pressure from the opposition, looking to play on the break, can't keep the ball, backs to the wall except Barca have 10 players and we would have 11.

Plus the both stadiums are terrible.

Re: Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Ham United - match thread

What is concerning is the lack of a leader or leaders out there? No one is shouting or applauding or geeing up the others. No one player questioning the ref when it goes against us. Even Moyes, or it doesn't seem like it, is not out there on the touchline wafting his hands like he had just farted or...

Their bloke goes down as if he has had his ankle removed. Screams, grabs his ankle, goes to do three forward rolls, looks at ref award penalty. Gets up as if everything is fine in the world

Re: Kids' names

I was born in Feb 74 and before I was born there was that usual tussle between a mum and dad on what to name their newborn. I am told they kept suggesting names but the other didn't like it. So my dad grabbed a book of names and did the old flick through, stop on a random page and put a pen down on ...

Re: Premier League: Financial Reports (2022/2023)

What it does highlight, is the huge gap in Commercial revenue between the Sky 6 and the rest of the league. OK Man City, you might have some questions around those figures but the lowest of the top 6, Arsenal getting £173m and then the highest of the rest , Leeds are getting £49m shows the gap is hu...

Re: ✍ Welcome, Kalvin Phillips

The guy is not mentally or physically match fit and it has shown when he has played for us. I am sure Moyes and the coaching staff and southgate have told him to knuckle down and work hard, put arms around him etc etc. With Southgate publicly saying can't trust Phillips at the moment with the perfor...
