The Gaffer Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Reports of Joe Gomez picking up an injury in training now, too. Savio Vega's going to end up being a CB for us by Christmas.
Mr_Danger Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Meant to be a broken leg isn’t it? James Milner and Henderson will be our centrbacks soon. Fuck international football, hopefully it was a collision with Pickford so we can all get a laugh out of it.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 11, 2020 Paid Members Posted November 11, 2020 It's absolutely ridiculous on a number of levels that we're still playing international football in a pandemic. In south-east Asia they're not, because they've got more fucking sense and are actually treating this thing seriously. But players flying around continents during all this is daft enough for continental competitions, but for largely meaningless international matches that nobody but Tories care about? It's ludicrous. Authorities showed some semblance of sense when they did those mini-tournaments for the Europa and Champions Leagues. We should be doing those again this season for these competitions and try and get back to normal for 21-22. And injuries like Gomez's hurt more in a compacted calendar when we're shoving out ridiculous amounts of matches in short spaces of time.
Fog Dude Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Apparently UEFA were quite impressed with the Final 8 mini-tournaments in the summer, but they're not contemplating bringing them back until 2025 if at all possible because the TV contracts until then are meant to guarantee the broadcast rights holders a certain number of live matches in the knockout stages. If we manage to get back to something approaching normal for 2021-22, then things will go right back to being a headache in 2022-23 because there's due to be a World Cup slap bang in the middle of the season for reasons unrelated to the pandemic. Mind you, at the moment South America is the only continent even holding qualifiers for that World Cup.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted November 12, 2020 Paid Members Posted November 12, 2020 Slightly ajar from what's to hand, but this has to be up there with the poxiest, cringiest shite I've ever seen out of that mob:
KingofSports Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Unsuccessful as it turned out to be, Ireland's plan to weaponize their midfield by using 'rascal' Alan Browne (with Covid) was potentially an excellent idea. As Prestonians we pride ourselves in transmitting only the best diseases. We do nice lines in Skurvy & Rickets as well.
stewdogg Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Mo Salah partying at his brothers wedding earlier this week has now tested positive for COVID. I assume partying at weddings is not illegal in Egypt, but I bet Klopp isn't too impressed with it. I guess the saving grace is he'll only miss 1 league and maybe 1 champions league game.
Mr_Danger Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 If players are going to be sent all over the world to play pointless international games then I won’t begrudge Salah enjoying himself at his brothers wedding, no matter how foolish it may be. That being said, null and void it.

Keith Houchen Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 So when can we start saying they bought success like Salford did?

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted November 16, 2020 What I really like about this takeover is that everything they've done and said so far has pointed to them being 100% serious about it all, rather than just buying A Football Team. They've made genuine effort to get to know Wrexham's history and background, and I think when you look at the work Reynolds puts into his businesses, Wrexham fans should be really encouraged. I think it's a great story.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 16, 2020 Author Moderators Posted November 16, 2020 The documentary starts filming tomorrow at The Turf pub where I'm booked in to watch the match. Duw. Fucking so excited. They've also sent 20 bottles of aviation to several pubs in the town to sell on for profits to go to local charities. Top guys.
