  • England really does have a lack of top quality strikers right now. I mean, Kane is definitely world class (much as I hate to admit that). But Watkins is so hit or miss. He’s world class one game and then missing open goals from the middle of the 6 yard box the next.

    TBH I don’t know how Toney is these days. I haven’t been tracking him. But I get the feeling i this whole situation doesn’t bode well for England in front of goal. If Kane gets injured Tuchel might be left with a headache. But I hear Rashford did well this season. And there are some very good options on the wings. So maybe it’s not as bad as it looks.




  • On the set piece goals:

    They have been most dangerous from corners, scoring 18 goals from them in 2025-26, which is a new Premier League record. It says a lot about the direction of the Premier League that the record – overtaking the 16 scored by Oldham Athletic in 1992-93 – has been broken twice this season. First by Arsenal, who have the outright record, and then by Tottenham, who have scored 17 goals from corners this season.

    So I don’t want to hear any more whining from spuds fans about how we score too many ‘boring’ corner goals. They were just a step behind us on that front. The difference is we were good in most other areas as well, while they were shit.





  • People online (not in here, mind you) saying the punishment is too harsh.

    Umm no. a) they admitted to the infraction, b) they actually admitted to two other similar infractions done earlier in the season, c) the rules on spying were explicitly clarified a few years ago after Leeds got away with similar.

    Southampton knew EXACTLY what they were doing! And they didn’t even do it well or discreetly! They acted like they were above the law, and they got punished accordingly.

    They need to set an example for cheating clubs. Next up they should hardly harshly punish Man C115y.





  • They are all either hiding or have piped down. I think the ones who piped down (like Kee Thomas) had already resigned themselves to us winning the title within the last few days.

    On a related note, the Liverpool fans who despise us baffle me. Most of them seem happy that we won it (at least over either of the Manchester clubs). And I can see why. Liverpool and us address two of the last few ‘classy’ heritage clubs left. But a few of their fans are just so filled with bile towards us.

    But it’s okay, I’ve been enjoying their bitterness! 😂
