Fixtures rnt that bad to be fair there's no killer months but no easy games in the prem, UTV.

JV, yes, the draws dropped well, as you say, no killer months. How do we always end up with Man City at the end of the season. UTV.

I like Manzambi of Switzerland.

Two questions, can’t Pickford catch any ball, he’s so hyper, like he’s had to many E numbers HaHa.
Other question, what was Trossard doing reffing? Much better second half, half time talk must of been good, they turned it up a couple of gears. Can’t stand the commentators on ITV, everyone of them are crap.

Starting with that Pugash, thinks he knows everything, and ex Arsenal co commentator Dickson, he’d have you slashing your wrists. What up with Gary Neville, he won’t say a good word about Rogers, do think his Mrs fancies Morgan.

Shows how important he is to, it's not Dickson, it's Dixon, still boring UTV.

Congo DR keeper looked good.

Japan's gk for me.

18 Jun 2026 22:12:17
Argentina keeper for me...

19 Jun 2026 09:55:13
Would love to keep Emi, he's only 32, gk play until they're 40, but I can see why we're looking at a younger gk. If it was me, I wouldn't sell. He's still a wclass gk.

U'll come straight back up though, U shouldn't worry too much. Same with West Ham and Burnley. All 3 gonna be too strong for the rest, I reckon.

A couple players that have caught my eye in World Cup: Eli Wahi, who plays for Ivory Coast n, nice plays on the wing and is very fast and direct.
Also Connor Metcalf cm looks a good player, also Kubo from Japan.

So Spurs could be bidding up to 100 mil for Tonali. How does that work out when they have finished 17th twice, also just signed Hecke for 57mil? You have to laugh at the rules for the so called big6. I'm glad Villa got a good thing at the top of our club.

It would be nice to spend mega millions but aint gonna happen. I have no worries at all. Villa will be fine and pushing for 4th to 5th again. Sign 4/5 players with exists and squad will be better UTV

Doesn't add up, does it? I'm guessing them selling Kane for around £100M still counts towards that homegrown player pure profit thing for at least another year, then, unless they sell another kid for stupid money, they'll be screwed down the line.

If only we'd turned up when we played them, then they'd be down, but in hindsight, it all worked out for us, so what do I know. 🤷🏼‍♂️

True so how much could spurs spend edd herd rumours from my spurs mate 300mil derzerni got too spend

{Ed001's Note - it doesn't work like that, they can spend a %age of their total income under the new regs, so it depends on how much they make from sales as they will amortise full sale amounts immediately, so adding that amount on to their income. Whereas incoming transfers will have the fees spread over 5 years, so only 20% of the transfer fee will come under this season's outgoings. They have a fair bit to spend though, Levy was very good at keeping salaries down, which has left them a fair bit of wiggle room for now. That will be gone with this summer's spending, I would expect, as I doubt they will be able to do that any more with a desire to be more competitive.}
