As someone in grassroots football who designs his own team's graphic from scratch, it's become such a dominant eye sore and a stain for promoting for players, tournament, and matches.

To accommodate a move for Saliba in #FPL for the Double Gameweek, I did the following:

Transferred out both Thiaw and VVD (both whose returns have recently been poor), who have both scored, for Nunez (MCI), who was subbed off in the 59th minute with an assist.

Liverpool has such a thread bare team. Barely any CB's in the squad, about to sell Robbo, and look so far off the pace. Their defending today, too, for the goals and game management was poor.

Deserved win for Bournemouth. They looked more threatening to get the winner.

Game 200 is in the bag, with our final game of 2025 seeing the club reach another milestone.

Here are some stats about the club since our formation in 2019!

The Train ended 2025 with a good win on the road, with a 3-0 win against @CavershamUnited seeing us move up to 2nd place in @ThamesValleyPL Division One!

Luke Follington scored a hat-trick, including a lovely lobbed effort, and a penalty with the final kick.

Winning a ticket or two at the World Cup ballot is basically a quick route to bankruptcy.

Astonishingly high prices, but being in America and the state of tickets (for example, WWE prices in the States are abysmal), no one is surprised by this clear cash grab attempt.

Replace 'hydration' with 'advert' and that is really what is happening.

3 minutes is the perfect time for US broadcasters to air ads. This World Cup is going to be an all time stinker, already is.

Haaland has as many bonus points (23) as Cunha has points.

This is actually a half decent article, and Taylor comes across well on video (particularly highlighting the issue of abuse with parents at grassroots level).

The problem remains about consistency of officiating. VAR is only as good as its users, and our ref standards are poor.
