FIFA opened up their ticket resale exchange a few days ago, and it is not for the faint of heart: https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/tickets Checked out prices for Cat 4 tickets in the group stage in Atlanta. Those started at $488 (364 GBP). That is before fees, ta...

Have we had a single shot on goal!

Fernandes has not covered himself in glory today

see this is where VAR can be subjective in grey areas. It can be outside the box on one day or a foul that continues into the box on another, entirely at the whim of the VAR referee.     Maybe I've misunderstood the law, but I have always known it to be that the foul is where contact begins. Not wh...

Areola is unbelievably bad at distribution. What's particularly galling is that it's not as though you cannot develop that part of your game. Probably one of the easier things to fix.

since when can the foul "continue" into the box?

What a shock, aresenal got a dodgy pen

blatantly outside the box

Christ the gooners are a bunch of fannies

On the plus side, if potter were still in charge, it would be 4-0 and over as a contest. If we can get into the half like this, hopefully we make adjustments and come storming back. Admittedly, that looks like a tall order currently. We were always going to be bunkering for most of this game.

Also the world cup ball dropped today and you can't afford not to buy it at 126 GBP. Design inspired by the mexican wave, originating 40 years ago in the '86 world cup in case you didn't feel old enough already.

Arsenal are due for a banana skin game. We have the holy spirit now and we put a major dent in their title aspirations. 1-2 up the hammers and a conga line through WHO.

A bit more match sharpness? He's played in every single game this season bar being left on the Bench against Spurs. Also played for Gemrany. He hasn't scored or set up a single goal, whereas Wilson already has scored for even worse fitness due to zero Pre-Season.  After 26 appearances for West Ham ...

Fair enough. I just think of the term Moyesball as meaning low block, counter attacking football, which is exactly what Nuno does. Wasn't meaning to suggest anything other than that. I still expect any long periods of us not having the ball to be as dull as they were under Moyes, but hopefully the ...

Fucking hell we're all delighted with a manager who's had the players for 2 days and produced 45 minutes of good football.  I'm not taking the piss as I am delighted too but it's easy to see why we feel so crushed too much of the time. Not exactly 'level-headed', are we? Beg to differ chim. That wa...

The result may be the same, but I thought that passed the eye test. This is a competitive match which is more than we can say about most of our games this season and last. Much more intent in the middle and attacking third. Fullkrug is at least receiving service, and summerville is giving us another...

I was really wanting type "we've defended a corner!" But alas...

Looks like a 4-2-3-1 which should be a bit simpler from whatever it was Potter was trotting out. I'm hoping Paqueta sits a little deeper though maybe 4-3-2-1, since (at least for Brazil) he seems more effective as a deep-lying playmaker and can maybe help shore up the middle since Magassa and  Ferna...

Maybe he will make us as successful as the Clippers!!!!

Mowed the yard instead of watching the first half. I do not regret this decision. Weak as piss from Kilman yet again.

For a player to have his physique and his lack of pace, you need to have something truly exceptional to your game to be a Premier League starter. He was at one time the best set piece taker in the league, and if he was wrapping in 25 yard free kicks every 5-10 games and causing havoc at corners, yo...

That's about right. Three hammers in the box marking no one while they get an open shot from the penalty spot. It would be one thing if we were set up to attack and doing so. I don't even know what we're trying to do out there

Unconscionable that we paid 40 million for kilman. On his best day, he is average.

Turned it on at 35 minutes from 38-42 I think I counted ten crosses from spurs without is getting out of our half. None were half decent but eventually those will find someone. Almost feels like we're playing without a striker.

The guardian is reporting the exact opposite:
Sources say that Brady, who met the FAB for talks on Thursday, is not about to resign.
