  1. He looks assured but we are pretty stacked on the left side with Danny Rose, Ryan Bertrand, Luke Shaw, Ashley Young and Ryan Sessegnon. You could discount the last two due to age position preference but he's still have to work very hard to get ahead of the every three over the next couple of seasons. Tom Davies is going under the radar when people talk about future English players. He's only 20 and entering his third full season of football. If he can start regularly for Everton under the brand that Marco Silva encourages I don't think he will remain unnoticed.
  2. I guess if he's not to join Manchester United his agent would have pushed for a much bigger pay rise.
  3. I hope they make the most of it. They're a long way off consideration to the starting eleven given the players ahead of them at the moment, but twelve months is a long time in football.

    Exactly. Funny Billie Jean thinks that's a great thing.

    Billie Jean King sticking her ore in again regarding the supposed sexism. There will never be such a thing as gender equality because people like her wouldn't settle for equality once they've achieved it.
  6. I loved Kevin Davies. One of my friends that used to support Bolton pointed out from 2004 to 2007 how everything sucesful went through him. He wasnt rubbish. He destroyed Bayern because they didn't know how to cope with his ilk. An absolute legend of his time for Bolton who should have no regrets with how his career panned out. I think my admiration of him stems because he reminds me of Glenn Murray. Literally looks the bloke in the pub that turns up at your local on the weekend that has a couple of beers and stays outside by the smoking area all evening. He shouldn't be a footballer on five figures a week but he is. Legend. Duncan Ferguson however. Nah.
  7. Punks reign was affected by a refusal to have him main event over Super Cena. Brocks reign was affected by the fact he was never there. Tge most impactful reign that comes to mind since WCW folded was Triple H when Raw first started in the early naughties. At a time when we were used to champions lasting 2-4 months he bossed it from about August 2002 until March 2004 apart from a couple of months where HBK and Goldberg held it. He was believable too with Evolution beside him.
  8. For anybody that has ever watched wrestling we are entering in to the most interesting seven month period in history. - Last weekend Cody Rhodes hosted his first pay per view with The Young Bucks and it was a massive sucess. - WWE have tried to block any other wrestling company appearing at Maddison Square Gardens. ROH and NJPW will be hosting a joint pay per view the weekend of WrestleMania! - The WWE have responded, with rumours of Undertaker versus HBK and Roman Reigns versus The Rock. WWE have for years been trying to lower the ceiling on other companies. Whether it's by having NXT appearing in the same city where other companies are having their big shows, or by hoovering up all the UK talent so ITV have nobody, or by taking all the popular indie talent. Vince is not going to be happy about MSG hosting a huge wrestling show the weekend of WrestleMania. In retaliation, the only thing he really can do is produce a WrestleMania that's one for the ages.
  9. I've always been quite fond of Bettenelli because of his father's links to us. Of all the Fulham players casted away this summer, it was him I felt most sorry for. So with that penalty save and this call up, he must be having the best week of his life right now.
  10. Been watching the highlight shows under the impression I'll develop some form of knowledge of future talents. Instead all I see is Hunterlaar and Van Persie get two goals each.

    The White Hart. That's a time warp moment when that placed closed there locals moved on to two other places who also ended up closing. So The North Star conveniently closed for 3 weeks refurbishment when they closed. They're still the last pub standing Christmas Eve this year at the north star will be a sight now the Weathersoons on the A3 roundabout is gone and Surbiton will not accommodate anyone from Chessington.

    The N65 in Kingston was like that every weekend.

    The worse bit was afterwards the taxi company in Crawley took 20 minutes to dispatch someone and it's a 20 minute walk home.
  14. Literally amazed that a light hearted comment about somebody that I wouldn't have trusted with a crayon at Palace has elicited such a thought provoking response.
  15. Taking injuries and current form in to account I would have him in the squad, which is why it took me long to respond as I've been searching the office for a white flag or a towell. It's a sorry state of affairs really.
  16. He was ok last season, not great. Being voted Southampton's best player last season is hardly something to be doing cartwheels over.
  17. Looking forward to seeing how Marcus Edwards gets on at Excelsior.
  18. Ajax, PSV, Feyenood and Willem II all recording wins this weekend.
  19. The FA Continental Tyres League Cup is underway. The main talking point was Manchester United's Women's team first home game since their relaunch. After winning their first game 1-0 against Liverpool, they have been knocked out 2-0 to Reading. They played in front 4,835 people which is a record in this competition.
  20. A thread to discuss one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Please do not piss me off with innapropiate comments in this thread.
  21. I haven't got the foggiest to be honest. I was half expecting Ambrose to turn at Summerslam but was glad he didnt. There's enough heels to keep them entertained for the time being.
  22. I'm glad Reigns has the title now, hopefully means somebody else will get the mania moment. Hopefully Brawn or Rollins on Raw.
  23. He is still a legend on Twitter and in interviews.
