Looks like Everton have called off the Harrison Armstrong deal after a fans' backlash and criticism from Moyes ….
1.) 30 Aug 2026 11:45:57
It does indicate to me, though, that Everton are a bit strapped for cash, or they wouldn't have initially countenanced it.

Steven Benda goalkeeper from Fulham, on a free according to John Percy. Back up for Sels and Victor.
Had a seriously injury last season after being out on loan (Peterborough?) but don’t know much about him?
1.) 14 Aug 2026 11:53:21
Incoming distasteful jokes with that name. ?
2.) 14 Aug 2026 12:00:19
But, in all seriousness, from what I know, a German lad who originally came over to Swansea did a few loans in the EFL. He's been in English football for several years, yet has never nailed down a no.1 spot. Doesn't exactly excite. ?
3.) 15 Aug 2026 13:07:53
He's a number 3 keeper, thus no excitement.

Very strong rumours (from The Athletic and Mr Romano) that Diomonde will be in the Sporting Squad today then fly to Nottm for a medical tomorrow prior to signing early next week for an agreed fee of £40 million.
13 Jul 2026 10:52:52
John Percy (who’s never wrong) reporting that Sanghere has signed a new contract. Details not specified but excellent news imo.
1.) 20 Jul 2026 14:19:57
Great news if it's true. The lads improved leaps and bounds.
31 Jan 2025 19:55:25
I'm hearing rumours we've re signed Sam Surridge? Anybody else heard this or is it a windup?
I thought he did well for us by the way.
1.) 01 Feb 2025 01:26:44
Right now I'd take him over Taiwo and if Everton are serious about taking him off us its got to be win win.

Man City found guilty of nearly all 115 charges.
Breaking News.
This should be interesting.
" They can take all their cups and medals and all their pots and their pans and throw them all in the bin because they got them all by cheating”.

I'd offer them 500k for Anderson.
If Everton and us got points deducted for 1 infringement each, they should throw the book at these cheats, worst kept secret ever, it is shameful it has taken this long.
If they get relegated, what the point of them playing the rest of this season?

Just a couple of thoughts to ponder on during the International break fellow Reds.
They say circumcision doesn't hurt but I had the op at birth and I couldn't walk for a year.??
My teacher told me I'd never be able to do poetry because of my dyslexia but today I made 3 vases and a jug, so screw you Mr Henson.??.

Just re watched the entire Coventry game on Forest TV ( I'm a glutton for punishment I know). I make the following observations.
Firstly, like the Leeds defeat, a draw would have been a fair result. Before anyone jumps on my back, Coventry ( at the moment) are much better than their league position before kick off suggests. They are organized, motivated, work incredibly hard for each other and, crucially, believe in Lampard. On the back of a 5 nil drubbing and previous results that's shows durability and good morale. It could change of course, but they don't look like last years no hopers Wolves.
Secondly, for their goal, Munoz seemed to lose the flight of the ball. I wonder if his mask ( ever so slightly) restricts his field of vision and the ball over his shoulder was in a blind spot?
Thirdly, Diomande didn't do him any favours by covering for Munoz.
When the ball was in the air, he was jogging and he was still jogging and out of position when the ball hit the back of the net. Slack imo
Lastly, Diomande looked like he was blowing out of ass on the hour mark. He's way below the required fitness level. Likewise, Murillo although he's further on than Diomande, Munoz likewise. Schlager looked like he'd played in the Premiership all his career. Ran and scrapped like a dog from first minute to last.
Tactically, OG is asking a lot from his wing backs. Yet,he doesn't change them, if at all, until the last knockings. Which is a shame, because Netz and Aina are just as good imo.

As a footnote, it's not as though the goalkeepers astute hoof was sudden. He had it lined up for ages before he launched it. Our defenders had plenty of time to get set.
2.) 22 Sep 2026 16:37:49
Good post stokie, i'm still a long way short of being convinced by Diomande, hopefully milenkovic will be fit for the return. The Cov result/performance was very disappointing but the game against Villa,especially the second half showed what we are capable of, or have i got my rose tinted spectacles on again? Whatever its lovely here in southern Spain.

Apparently Cole Palmer has pulled out of the England squad because he's taking his barber to Court. ???.
1.) 22 Sep 2026 13:19:04
Declan Rice uses the same barber ? ? ?.
20 Sep 2026 18:22:03
Rogie,
Just spotted your Crowded House post mate. Very good but as far as the Reds managerial turn over is concerned it's like " Four seasons in One Day”. But " Don't believe it's over”.
Both of us should stop listening to Tony Blackburn
Fabulous.???.
1.) 20 Sep 2026 20:22:31
He's a Legend isn't he!!!
???.
25 Sep 2026 08:39:57
I've never seen him play either Cyclist. Not even in pre season I think. How old is he? One for the future perhaps. I dont know anything about him tbh.
22 Sep 2026 20:28:15
It was over very very quickly mate, obviously used reasonable force in self defence and managed not to get any of his nose bleed on my smart shirt.
As you say, a top night.???.
22 Sep 2026 13:17:02
Saw them in Birmingham 2015 RRH.
Absolutely brilliant. Lyndsey Cunningham did an absolutely visceral and angry acoustic version of " Big Love” which will stay with me forever. I've never seen a guitar treated so violently since the days of Jimmi Hendrix.
Unfortunately I also remember some after show action when I had to administer some instant justice to a retard who deliberately barged into my wife but that's another story.
22 Sep 2026 08:10:38
"Rumours” was definitely Fleetwood Mac's best album ( and one of the best ever).?so, nothing to be ashamed of.
21 Sep 2026 12:49:19
I'm in total agreement with that RRH. Good post ?.
27 Sep 2026 11:45:38
I re watched " The Long Good Friday " instead. Great film. Deserved BAFTA performance by Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren was never more gorgeous ( and talented)
Just read "London Falling” by Patrick Raddon Keefe about the present day criminality and involvement of organized crime in London regeneration including the Docklands.
This by Russian Oligarchs rather than East End villains like the Krays.
I'll probably watch the England game on catchup later unless I'm washing my hair.???.
27 Sep 2026 11:23:45
Thanks Ed. Very interesting. I wonder if, as you say, Bournemouth will become less effective with their high workload as the season ( and individual games) wear on, especially with the European games.
Much like Leeds under Bielsa ?
Thanks for that report. Good read as always.
{Ed001's Note - that is very possible as Rose has stepped up the workrate even over and above the levels of Iraola, so they will be being pushed hard already. They might end up having to delve into the market in January, unless they have some youth players to bring through.}
27 Sep 2026 11:29:50
I'm not sure they're rats Munmad. Like any profession, they have to look after themselves and their families welfare.
After all, as Noel Gallagher has pointed out, Manchester City's cheating isn't the fault of the players or the fans mate.
26 Sep 2026 12:35:23
Well, I'm glad we can still count on your expertise Ed. It would be a sad loss to this site if you were to withdraw altogether mate.
{Ed001's Note - I have just had enough of editing after 25 years of it.}
26 Sep 2026 10:53:57
I may be wrong but I'm not sure the Premier League can do that directly mate. The Prem and non League ruling bodies are seperate entities.
I believe it would have to be done via points deduction only ie 100 points virtually guaranteeing relegation to the Championship then on from there if they can't comply with Championship sustainability for further points to League 1 and so on.
Unless they can come to an agreement.
I'm happy to stand corrected by our esteemed and knowledgeable Ed 1 though.
