Journeyman 6: Southend United are over their trauma. Now it’s the next age: moving back up the leagues and remaining transparent. Kieron Dyer and Oliver Gage are leading that movement. It’s a fascinating club ⬇️ inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Really funny (not actually funny) when supposedly left wing politicians who for years used to say it was insulting and abusive to call them right wing end up doing massively right wing things or work for massively right wing companies a few years later and by that time they just go “eh, so what“

5 minute scroll of the For You tab on twitter and I have seen someone with their guts hanging out, huge amounts of AI video that people can't seem to tell is AI, and "gender" campaigners now going full far right on every topic.

DCL back to his best. Pleased for him. Disappointed that Everton didn't manage to get him fit and motivated. Could have had a Gordon/Lookman/DCL front line.

I genuinely cannot see the red card worthy reaction from Foden. Some comments seem to be implying he has violently kicked him studs up in the bollocks. It looks to me like a flick of the ankle which connects the top of his boot with the stomach of Bruno. At least the pundits agree with me.

The three stages of my football life: Wow I'm the same age as him and he is playing in the Premier League. Wow I'm the same age as him and he is a manager in the Premier League. Wow that player is the same age as my child and he is playing in the Premier League. I reckon I'm 6 months off number 3

I'm assuming that PISA tests are taken in the language the education system operates in? So a child in Finland takes a test in Finnish? Does the success of the immigrant population in English-speaking countries just reflect English being the dominant global language?

Important article by The Esk theesk.org/2026/09/03/t... Clubs going bankrupt is real. The spending is unsustainable. I think MRKT has lost £50k+ so far from these situations and have had to change our business model because of it.

A few years ago when working with a club every meeting was dominated by a single young player who was; high potential according to the youth coach but useless and a troublemaker according to the Head Coach. They were *this* close to releasing him before that coach was sacked. Now worth £5m+

Daniel Job is such a strange story. Standout offensive data in short minutes every year. Everyone says incredible dribbler but liability off the ball. No "football brain". Released on a free. Plays in the second tier and adds goals/assists (at a low level) now he is a $5m player after 6 months.

Amazing how EFC went from a solid squad lacking depth at full back to completely screwed if there is a single injury. To do this whilst not actually banking much in the way of profit is particularly bizarre.

Did a sample project for a club in 2024 where we suggested 2 players for their needs. Neither passed their checks - not good enough. Didn't get the contract. The players (700k each) were Femi Azeez and Mamadou Sangaré.

If IF the Richy feel is 35m and they also loan in Grealish then the talk about needing to balance the books and be sensible doesn't compute.

Ndiaye out and Richarlison in....... Presumably a big price gap between the two deals

Selling Harrison Armstrong would be a huge strategic error from Everton. If you get a 19 year old already capable of playing PL football, who clearly has elite potential, then you do everything you can to keep them.

Lost out on an African player because a club from a 2nd tier Middle East offered a better contract. And when I say better I mean 10x better financially for the player. Great, life changing, generational wealth money and I'm genuinely pleased for the player. But insane football economics.

Surreal moment earlier as I was diverted off a motorway in Poland. Following the satnav directions to the airport through some villages when we suddenly notice some familiar buildings. We have just driven into Auschwitz. You drive over the train track leading into the camp.

Everton fans have been moaning all summer (for a change) but that looks like the most fun Everton team in the last 10 years to me. Armstrong, George, Sibling, Branthwaite....young too.

The Yan Diomande back story...I'm not alleging any wrong doing but a kid from Ivory coast doesn't just happen to end up in America, and then just sign for some random Spanish team. An African club/agency paid for him to go to America, he then joined a club who have the same ownership.

I think it's bad that the UK press can escalate what is essentially a workplace matter into national news ahead of the fucking country being on fire and then get away with hounding their victim until they die.

Data is always biased: Creating metrics from event data
In sports media, and football in particular, statistics and data are often represented as fact. As undeniable facts which we can’t argue…

I am too cowardly to talk about it in anything but vague terms but a football club doing so much business with a single advisor is surely not healthy

Every day in football I am astounded by wage demands. I think wage caps are required, not because I believe that players should not earn to their full potential, but because the current system puts clubs at existential risk. Most clubs are losing €3-30m before player trading.

Working in football clubs is generally just waiting for a WhatsApp message that ruins your working day. Could be a collapsed deal, an injury, a massive unexpected expense, or an unwelcome transfer offer. It normally happens whenever you think preparations for the season are going pretty well.

I was delighted Argentina won last time. And happy they didn't win this time. Well done Spain, just a very, very good team. Not memorable but exceptional at preventing opponents from creating anything.
