    These jokers…

    I think we are suffering from a lack of Academy-trained players in the 1st team squad. Those players who have the club DNA in their blood and fully appreciate `the severity of the moment on a personal level, instead of merely professional ones knowing they can put in a transfer request at the...

    Xavi Simons

    Given the fact we are struggling with creating any kind of scoring chances at all, I would be interested in seeing Xavi play in the midfield three (not the central spot though). We have runners, we don't have passers. Simply put, get your best players on the ball as often as possible. A...

    OMT Badgers vs Eagles

    Tudor just announced Spense will not be available for tomorrow. He's hoping he'll be back for Atl Madrid next week.

    While that is indicative of the PGMOL’s attitude towards us, we may help ourselves by actually getting the ball in the box more often.

    The table below shows we have received the lowest tolerance from refs with the worst fouls:card ratio in the league so far this season. Guess which club receives the most leniency? https://www.statmuse.com/fc/ask?q=premier+league+team+with+most+fouls+per+yellow+card+25/26 So we have had...

    Remember that penalty against Bentancur...

    VAR has absolutely ruined the enjoyment of watching the game these days. Players are now flailing around at any form of contact knowing a VAR check may uncover a serious foul. That’s on top of regular 5 minute reviews for “clear and obvious” errors (which cannot then be claimed as neither clear...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    Priority #1 for the summer is to find a new DoF and put Lange back in his Head of Scouting role, in which to be fair he has done an ok job at [ducks for cover].

    OMT - Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur

    Considering our lack of playmakers in MF, I’d like to see Xavi play in the midfield 3 with two of Solanke/RKM/Richie up top. Why not put our most creative player in a position where he is able to get on the ball more, with a couple of runners ahead of him?

    Admittedly we were work colleagues before we knew of each other teams. But we do have a custom for the minute the last game ends before an NLD, we will each text "GFY" to the other and not speak directly till after the game. Our mutual friends have to act as intermediaries. And referring to...

    Champions League 25/26: Dortmund, PSG, Villarreal, Frankfurt, Slavia, Bodø/Glimt, Copenhagen, Monaco

    Just seen highlights of the Juve-Galatasaray game and the second yellow/straight red for Kelly is an absolutely atrocious decision. What is Kelly supposed to do there?!!! In the NBA, the opponent would be penalized for leaving a foot in the landing area of the jumping player, to avoid sprained...

    Agree on Poch. I think we’re in a moment where we should minimize any risks with our next managerial appointment, and that for me is Poch, or someone of his ilk. Iraola is a fine manager, and I would be fine with him taking over, but is a second choice for this reason.

    WHO DO YOU TRUST TO DRAG US OUT?

    In his own way, Richie is just about the perfect player for a relegation scrap. I can see us staying up on the last day of the season with Richie bundling an extra time winner over the line with his backside!

    And lost their star striker a couple seasons back and star winger last month. But he has made bang-average players such as Tavares, Adams and Kluivert look top drawer when I watch them. However, I really think the next manager’s personality is just as big a consideration as his tactics, and am...

    A Gooner friend was harping on about how VdV was blatantly ignoring Tudor during the game. I didn’t watch the game but he sent me a vid of the incident and you’ve got to admit it doesn’t look good. Is VdV already counting the days till he leaves us this summer? If so, do we take the captaincy...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Having players who have come through the academy provides an extra level of pride in playing for the shirt though. I’ll wager a training session with a few Academy graduates pushing for a first XI place will be more intense than one without.

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v woolwich *** 22.2.26

    I want to see Palhinha break Havertz in two, VdV make Saka cry, Xavi break Rice’s ankles with his twists and turns and Solanke batter the f*** out of their CBs. All while Tudor laughs in Arteta’s face as we score our eighth goal.of the first half. COYS!!!!

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Agree. In reality TF’s philosophy was 100% lacking in any ambition to play the attractive football he promised us in his pre-season press conferences, and his tactics, while he did change formation and move players around, never really altered until Kudus got injured. In over twenty games, he...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Not really. My comment was about TF, and his refusal to alter the tactics when it was blindingly obvious it wasn’t working. I was really frustrated with us constantly playing 4-2-3-1 when we didn’t have a quality LW, a ball-playing DM or a CF who could hold the ball up under pressure. In...
