    Well you won tonight and much deserved. I don't see why you can make a challenge to not go down this season. To me, your squad has quality all over the park maybe the wing-backs are not all that. I remember Lössl from his Guingamp days, the defence looks alright, Billing is an able jack of all...

    Match Day Huddersfield v Fulham, Monday 5 November 20:00

    It's possible but what can you do with a squad so bereft of attacking talent?

    Match Day Huddersfield v Fulham, Monday 5 November 20:00

    Second half was more hectic as Fulham wanted to equalise but their attack was just too poor. Saying this, I can understand why Huddersfield failed to keep clean sheets in all but one game as the defending was somewhat naive at times. At some point, Wagner reverted to 433 during the second half...

    Match Day Huddersfield v Fulham, Monday 5 November 20:00

    1-0 to the hosts at half-time. Not that Sergio Rico has been overworked but Fulham have been so harmless going forward that Huddersfield will probably wake them up. Very poor going forward are the Londoners. I quite like the look of Huddersfield with a nice 3412. The front 3 of Mooy, Pritchard...

    Load of bollocks. Does retiring not mean anything anymore? I'm really starting to despise modern football.

    QATAR 2022

    Thought that was a given? When I went to Russia, it was solely in the aim to brag to all and sundry that I went to the last ever 32-team World Cup. Get it done Qatar! Would make the tournament even more of a joke than it already is!

    European Super League Leaks

    Agree with Carlisle boy and hope they give it a try, realise it doesn't work and become miserable and come back with their tails between their legs and recognise that the current system works just fine. If that crash could also make match tickets more affordable then that would be grand. It's...

    Stickied German Football

    To our delight, Freiburg scored a late equaliser at the Allianz yesterday and earned a point while Dortmund won at Wolfsburg 1-0. Need to watch Dortmund this season as they look to be playing some good stuff. At least, Favre is doing a good job so far.

    Got the boot just now. Santiago Solari the temp manager. A profile very close to Zidane's: a RM man with zero experience. Wait and see.

    I somehow can't see Benitez letting Newcastle get relegated. Still no wins after 10 games which is worrying. Don't think Southampton are that bad. Haven't seen much of the relegated candidates but from what I saw, Cardiff look to be much poorer than the rest. Maybe they turned a corner the last...

    Champions League 2018/19

    I doubt we'd sack Tuchel if we finish 3rd. He showed serious limits last night though. We started in a 433 but Mbappé was doing zero defensive work on Mario Rui while Di Maria was playing somewhere but certainly not as a LW. This left loads of space for Napoli down the wings which deported...

    Champions League 2018/19

    Went Hoffenheim last night with two Lyon mates. Place sure is a dump. We stayed at Heidelberg as it was the only decent place to drink after the game (didn't last long as it was a 9pm kick-off) and sleep. We ended up doing everything by car. I didn't go to this ground whilst living in Germany...

    League of Nations

    Do you mean before the Munich game? Because that's not true. You had to go through a play-off because you finished second. Ironically what I remember from this period is not so much the 5-1 win (which was great, I have the DVD) but Beckham's free-kick against Greece. Anyway, the 2-1 win. I...

    Yes. Like said many times before, Germany lack penetration and players to put their foot on the ball and it in the net. Lloris had next to nothing to do this half despite us getting mullered in midfield. We've still got our heads in Russian stars (or tsars).

    Great game to watch. The 2nd goal is probably the best I've seen this season.

    The Aston Villa Thread

    Strange to read so much kind words. The guy was hated by most of the Villa fanbase when he was chairman. I know you're not supposed to speak badly of the deceased but I remember some serious nasty comments towards Deadly Doug.

    Yes, I agree with that. Got nothing to do all afternoon. It's infuriating!
