About time someone gave one of those decisions for pulling in the box, so well done for that Michael Oliver. But, and it is a big but, you bottled it by giving Stoke a pen back for that blatant dive by Victor Moses. Terrible decision that.
Oh and is Bardsley is playing like his game is glitching and he is seeing everything a second after it happens. Or he could just be a nasty dirty get kicking everyone after the ball goes. I will let you decide which!

In all the furore surrounding Roy Keane's new money grab, er I mean autobiography, the big question seems to have been overlooked. Should he have kept the beard?
Though that brings another question to mind, do you think his missus liked it? Only in my experience, even the tiniest bit of stubble leads to complaints from the missus, so how on earth did he get away with that without a month of cold shoulders at least?
Unless that was the reason behind the new book, to raise the cash to buy her enough prezzies to make up for having the face fuzz?

Ed002, having reading the media outlets reporting on the potential Catalan independence referendum having an effect on Barcelona' and Espanyol's place in La Liga. I'm just wondering on what you know about the situation, if there ever is one.
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - It is to do with a statement from Javier Tebas who is head of the Spanish FA. He is in no position to make such statements and I would not consider it even a possibility.}

After millwalls drop in form are we looking to bring in any players either now on loan or in January. Personally I think we need a stella striker.
{Ed013's Note - How about a Carlsberg Striker? If only Carlsberg..................

Just been reading this article Youth/Grass roots football, just wondered if anyone has similar problems/

Does anyone else find these international breaks annoying and get in the way of the season? They seem to really break the flow just as I am getting into it. About time they moved them to the end of the season out of everyone's way!

Yeovil have now signed jordy hiwula on loan until January

Darren bent was at the valley last night to watch charlton vs wolves
15 Sep 2014 10:52:34
I am sure that there is a lot happening behind the scene but most managers will wait until then end of this transfer window to maximise the stay of any import and reduce the gap between a possible acquisition and the start of a new purchase window in January 2015 Correct me if I am wrong but I think the maximum loan period is 93 days?

Hi all, i'm a Leeds fan and I am asking for the help support of all fans to sign a petition against Shaun Harvey at the FL. I would implore all football fans to lay down( temporarily at least) any rivalries and consider what may be in the interests of football. I am worried the FL and shaun harvey in particular are pursuing a rather nasty vendetta against lufc. Just when we seem to have an owner who, whilst he is perhaps no angel is managing the club properly and is clearing debt.
The link is:
https://www.change.org/p/the-football-league-remove-shaun-harvey-from-his-role-as-chief-executive?recruiter=73966149
Like I say I am only asking for your help as footballing fans to send a message to the FL that corruption and vested interests cannot be tolerated for the good of football, please sign.
Many Thanks
Guy Seems like a royal D, how he got that position I'll never know.
Signed. Best of luck.

Im a wolves fan but I have to say the worst performance I have ever seen is james mcarthur for scotland yesterday. every time he touched the ball he was a failure
05 Sep 2014 18:41:41
According to Diame it is West Ham's fault that he didn't join a top side.
Diame just accept you just are not good enough, that is the reason.
Meaning no disrespect to Hull & their supporters but they were the only club that truly wanted you!
What does that tell you?
You have joined another "nice" club, show them the respect you never showed us, just play your football and stop telling everyone how you should be at a top 4 side.
04 Sep 2014 09:32:51
Ed do you think there is space for an England rumour/banter page? All of us who love football have our desire to see England play well in common. I am old enough to have seen 1966, and watched over the years a number of yes men appointed to manage our Nationla treasure. The exceptions being Terry Venables, Bobby Robson. There is no way that we will win anything with Mr Hodgson in charge but I suppose from the FAs perspective he is less likley to have unfortunate liasons. The 80 year old + members of the FA are more interested in avoiding scandal than a successful England team. Greg Dykes aim of 2022 is honest common sense
{Ed001's Note - there is an international page, all discussions of that sort can go on there mate.}

Paul Cox to be sacked by Mansfield board in next 48 hours for playing the most boring and ugly football ever known in the history of the Football League
02 Sep 2014 19:42:58
Really close to announcing the new manager, Huddersfield are set to name the new manager in the next 48 hours, Chris Powell is still the favourite for the town job. Steven Pressley second favourite (Believed not to interested) and Neil Lennon third (Dean Hoyle number one target. )
01 Sep 2014 19:41:16
You have just signed Diame from us, good luck, he is disruptive and plays when he wants, sulks when things go wrong.
Bruce should have let him join Harry at QPR.
Sorry guys.

Beppe gone. Galli in this week

Karanka confirms Vossen to sign before deadline - season loan with option to buy. Wildschut in Boro for medical will sign on permanent transfer. Bamford loan only till January as he wants to be sure he is with club pushing to win the championship / promotion

Again Manchester United looked very poor (being kind) can't see how they are still any where near contenders.

Burnley are still intent on a Troy Deeney purchase, though are trying to reach a compromise with Watford to avoid paying extortionate amounts.
28 Aug 2014 17:54:00
Burnley are lining up a bids for James Morrison of WBA and Lewis McGugan of Watford. Burnley have had a dreadful summer transfer window after failing to land targets. Dawson, Lansbury, McArthur and Deeney.
28 Aug 2014 17:47:54
Jack Robinson to Town anybody? The 20 year old left back looks to be making a detour to Hudds, while en-route from Liverpool to QPR. He's been sold to the Londoners for 1m, and according to the Red Tops will be loaned straight out for the season. A good deal if it comes off!
27 Aug 2014 15:58:50
Congrats to MK Dons tonight, what a performance, gutted Saints let go of Reeves now! A nice 100% win record against Utd, quite a stat there!
26 Aug 2014 12:57:16
Brighton have completed the signing of midfielder Gary Gardner from Aston villa on loan until 1st January 2015. This could suggest that Stephens and March are expected to be out for the long term from now.
24 Aug 2014 23:21:53
We need a new goalkeeper, Tomas Mejias is not good enough
Who would you like to see in goal for us?
Jason Steel, he is local and has done nothing wrong

Manchester United should be looking to move on Michael Keane, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Rafael Da Silva, Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, Tom Cleverley, Maourane Fellaini, Anderson and Danny Welbeck. These players should raise £86 million. I would accept £50 million for these players. They have been given so many chances to impress the hierarchy at Manchester United and have failed to deliver. There may be debate but there are no signs of improvement.
Also, I think Angel Di Maria would be a terrific signing for the team, however for the right price. I personally think we should not pay over £48 million for him. He transformed himself as a central-midfield player and was Real Madrid's best player besides from Cristiano Ronaldo. The comparisons between the transfer of Juan Mata are irrelevant because Di Maria can play anywhere across the midfield and is willing to sacrifice himself for the team.
Although, if Gareth Bale is worth £86 million, then in my opinion, Angel Di Maria is worth paying £95 million for.
24 Aug 2014 19:52:55
Wheres bb86 and fulham lad, hows RM doing
24 Aug 2014 19:20:50
The new manager won't be announced until it is too late for the new man to spend any of the clubs finances. It will be another year of loan signings turning up for the wage and not the club. Here we go again!
24 Aug 2014 12:56:29
The debate around Liverpool signing Mario Balotelli is still yet to conclude, however I think that Mario Balotelli is an excellent signing for the club.
As a Manchester United fan, I respect Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers for what they achieved last season and how the players bought into the vision of Rodgers. £75 million for Luis Suarez is an excellent deal for the team, considering he was going to be unavailable until late October, he was disruptive on the team on occasions and bought the club into disrepute several times, and put Brendan and the club in difficult situations, but Luis Suarez is a world-class footballer and now he is playing alongside the world's best in Lionel Messi.
During his career, he has got to the Euro 2012 final, won the Premier league, won the FA Cup, won the Champions League, won the Serie A twice and won the Italian Cup. He has had previous success in his early career and is still relatively young at 24 and can have further success. He is a powerful, strong and quick striker, who scored a lot of goals even when he was not regularly being picked at Manchester City. He is a player worth taking a gamble on and they are getting a bargain at £16 million and with him getting older, he is more likely to wise-up and behave.
Even if Brendan Rodgers is worried about the potential signing, he has Sturridge, Borini and Lambert currently at his disposal and has Markovic, Lallana, Sterling and Coutinho in midfield if there was ever a problem.
What are your thoughts? Open to anyone.
Don't say your not a true MU fan, it is not a crime to repsect another team, regardless of whether your rivals.

Beppe Sannino has had a massive row with the club owners at Watford after today's win against Leeds and has walked
23 Aug 2014 10:15:58
How is Maourane Fellaini worth £27.5 million, when Toni Kroos was £24 million and Cesc Fabregas cost £27 million.
How did Andy Carroll cost £35 million, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic cost PSG £15.7 million.
How did Gareth Bale cost Real Madrid £86 million, when Cristiano Ronaldo joined for £80 million and they let Mesut Ozil go to Arsenal for £42.4 million.
How did Fernando Torres cost £50 million, when Luis Suarez joined Liverpool for £22.7 million.
Anyone got anymore???

Gareth Bale is not worth £86 million and the best that Championship side Middlesbrough will get this season is the bottom half of the division.
