That was only one of his four caps - the whole U21 squad got nominated to play a senior game against Lithuania due to positive Covid tests amongst the senior players. More recently, he played a couple of games for Spain last year, including starting in the Nations League final. Khalaili looks...

I've seen this mentioned a few times recently and I don't think it's accurate - this Brighton side, for example, press incredibly high, as they did under De Zerbi. Bournemouth did it fantastically well under Iraola. Arsenal are incredibly aggressive in counter-pressing under Arteta, and...

I find the framing that people haven't simply 'got on with it' absolutely bizarre. The fact that posters occasionally express an opinion on a politics forum hardly demonstrates some sort of obsession or an inability to move on. I genuinely can't remember the last time I heard Brexit mentioned in...

I have no idea, but certainly one or two posters on holmesdale.net is not proof of an actual political movement. At societal level, I don't see any serious campaign, nor indeed appetite, for us to rejoin the EU.

A politician is a liar!? No way. Literally everyone has accepted the result. What meaningful movement or campaign is there to rejoin the EU? Where does it get talked about..? You're reeling off soundbites that are years and years out of date. You accuse others of 'still crying about it' yet...

That’s not quite what I meant - by ‘have the conversation’ I mean at national level, i.e. our media and politicians being honest about the campaigns and what’s happened since. I don’t think that’s really happened yet. Buyers remorse has certainly not set in from what I see - leavers blame the...

JSL is certainly winning me round - I think he lacks a little bit of quality/finesse but his work rate is great and he makes himself a nuisance for defenders. He's shown previously that he can be fairly clinical with chances in the box. Certainly happy for him to have the starting spot at the...

It’s staggering to me how central Brexit is to some of your political identities. The idea that voters in a local election in 2026 should be primarily concerned with the candidates 10-year old stance on Brexit is utter, utter lunacy. One day there will be an honest conversation on what...

I agree, I don't think it's a relationship that has got legs in it, but I don't at all agree that Eze made a bad career move - he's won the league with his team and got to experience top level European football and a World Cup. I'm sure he's got no regrets at all.

I don’t tend to blame the manager when a team create loads but miss a bunch of sitters - that doesn’t seem a very sensible analysis.

Winning trophies is worth a mention surely..? He's a premier league winner, plays champions league football, and is still a regular in England squads. Ok, he would've played more minutes if he stayed here, but I don't think it's crazy to say you'd rather be a squad player in a title winning...

Thought we were very fortunate. I think we're in for an entertaining season - our defending is absolutely comical but we carry a real threat in attack. Not expecting many more 0-0s. How on earth did we pick up Timber for £15m in this market!? Fantastic player.

I'm more worried about how our defence is going to be opened up by the teams you mention - if Forest took even half of their chances in the first half it could have been a very different day.

Agreed - thought it was a nice touch.

Assuming he conducts himself reasonably on the day, I can't see any reason for us to boo him.

Describing something as 'non partisan' when it plainly isn't is just a lie. You didn't even take our own advice and disclaim it as an opinion. Low-level Owen.

By what definition is Spiked 'non-partisan'? It's ideological opinion journalism. Oh, and the author of this particular piece has been a columnist for The Times of Israel, Haaretz and Jewish News... Non-partisan :ROFLMAO:

WTF are you on about. Shameful to see you playing the race card as well. If you can't beat them, join them hey!?

‘My’ aid agencies 🤣🤣

It could be worse PV, I could spend my time littering the site with dozens of pointless threads.
