Thought I would start off a thread, bit of friendly banter not too heavy and an opportunity to express your ideas about your favourite team.

What are you hoping for in the January transfer market?

As a Liverpool fan I am hoping for cover for Mane and the front 3.

and not one of 30 BBC pundits thought LIVERPOOL would do it.

The Slot Machine marches on.....

Well done Liverpool !! 😂

[Oxonian]

Yes, over the 42 games, Liverpool were clearly the most consistent side and hence deserve to the champions. 👍

[jonsie]

Most consistent over 34 games with 4 more to come!

Glad we aren't one of the four.....

And to put things into perspective we managed to claw a point and hold the mighty Bournemouth to a draw.....how times have changed!

Well done Liverpool.

And well done to Arsenal Women, reaching the Champion's League final for the first time in 18 years!

FA CUP.

Crystal Palace V Manchester City.

A historic win for Crystal Palace with a score of 1-0.

A new name on the Cup ! 

It is good to see both major domestic cups won this season by someone other than the usual suspects. 😀

In a rather big shock, Arsenal Women beat Barcelona Femeni 1-0 to win the Champion's League.

That means that Arsenal are the first team to win it that is not Lyon or Barcelona since 2015!

Over 10,000 fans then watched the trophy presentation yesterday just outside the Emirates Stadium.

COYG!

Euros 2025 (Womens)

* France v England. England lost 2-1.

 Been a few bad days for English/British Sport over the past couple of days.

* Formula1 Out of 4 possible English contenders, we couldn't get one of them on pole for the race tomorrow

* Tennis (Wimbledon) Lost Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper our top seeded players

* Cricket. Never watch the game but a comment from @jonsie indicated England arent doing well?
