Zatman Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Nepotism is not just alive and well at Villa. After not deserving a job except being Beckhams mate, now Phil Neville has given his son a pro contract at Inter Miami He played at Valencia as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Tomorrow game is West Ham 14th Sunday Premier League game in a row. The last Saturday game was March 5th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2022 West Ham do play on Saturday next weekend but the kick off time still hasn't been confirmed. Six days out and fans who are going don't know what time it'll start. Thanks TV and European fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Quote Wolves boss Bruno Lage has revealed defender Willy Boly failed to report for Sunday's game against Newcastle despite being told he was picked for the matchday squad. Does he still get his full salary? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62708453 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he'll be Forest's 234th signing of the summer by the sound of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 29, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2022 ......and Chelsea and West Ham fans still don't know what time they're kicking off on Saturday. TV not allowing them to select the most regular slots because they've already paid to show games. It's an absolute indictment of the degree to which TV money completely overpowers the experience of real fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police are involved and are trying to rule out an evening kick off, Sky and BT are ruling out 12:30 and 17:30 because they already have games and I think there's a resistance to 15:00 because a TV company owns it and can't show it if it's at 15:00 so wants compensation. It's ridiculous. In the meantime, there are fans with families who can't plan their journeys or their lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only positive i suppose for fans is that its in London and not a long journey I dont understand how it was badly organised when the fixtures were announced, they should have known would be potential European changes. Suppose alternative is a 10.30 kick off or getting the Merseyside derby pushed back a day but Klopp wont like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I was looking for a comment that summed up the type of transfer obsessed modern fan that I would want to hit in the face with an anvil. I found it on the BBC A Liverpool fan talking about Arthur Melo Quote 12:47 Get Involved #bbcfootball or text 81111 (UK only - standard message rates apply) Frankly embarrassing that a club finishing in top 2 of PL and in 3 of the last 5 CL finals is looking at bargain basement loan deals. What are the owners of LFC doing? Alan https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/62717249/page/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
