I see so many "failed wonderkids" discussions on social media, but what are some wonderkids that had lots of hype and great potential that seemed to fail, being labeled as "flops", only to turn around their career through hard work and a bit of luck, becoming either established players or young players (up to 25 years) that seem to have another shot at reaching their potential I can think of maybe De Ketelaere or Gnabry, but I want to hear better examples of players like that. No players like Salah or De Bruyne because they seem too obvious

Does anybody know about some free radio broadcast or podcast/stream or whatever you can listen to the City - Newcastle game tomorrow (outside UK)?

Going to be driving and would be nice to listen to the game on the road

See you!!

I’m watching the Europa League and looking at all the teams in the competition, I think the quality is way worse now. Historically the 5th place Spanish/Italian teams would be in it making it a bit more tasty as well as a few others who would have been in the comp making it a bit stronger.

Now to compound how weak the competition is, 3rd placed CL teams who dropped down to make Europa more competitive no longer do, meaning outside of Spurs, United and maybe 1 or 2 other teams the competition is absolutely dire

UEFA money grab has killed their second tournament

What does everyone think?

Not since Howard Wilkinson in the old First Division has an Englishman lifted the title.

Amongst the "Big 6", Chelsea have had Frank Lampard and Graham Potter, Liverpool had Roy Hodgson and Spurs had Harry Redknapp - tell me if I missed anyone else.

Are the title-challenging clubs generally afraid to appoint one of their own? Or is there something else going on with English managers?

Hi Reddit, I will be answering your questions on Thursday evening (7pm BST) so please send them in and I will answer as best as I can! During my playing career I made 286 Premier League appearances. Blackburn Rovers purchased me for 2.4m in 1993, making me the most expensive goalkeeper in Britain, and I went on to win the League title with them in 1994/95 as Alan Shearer finished our top goalscorer. I was capped 11 times with England and made the squad for Euro '96 and the 1998 World Cup.

Since my playing retirement in 2002, I have had goalkeeper coaching roles with Leicester City and Manchester City, assistant roles with Coventry City and Hull City, and managerial roles with the likes of Solihull Moors and now Redditch United. I joined the Reds at the start of this season!

Thank you all for your fantastic questions! Apologies I couldn't get through more of them but I had an enjoyable hour and a half reliving some past memories.

Thanks all!

Time to time i have been struggling knowing where things are when I receive the ball or during my first touch. When I am dribbling, it is somehow ok. Like I try to scan and then have my first touch but sometimes i cant take in any information and get pressed when i get the ball and get into unfavorable situations. Or when I get a nice pass towards the goal my first touch is decent but i cant do much after that. How do i get better at this? is it to just play more games or are there actual drills i can do to work on this? (Sometimes I am not too focused but it is still very annoying.)

I just looking up the transfer on Wiki. The way things were handled by both clubs after the tragic death of Emiliano Sala is just so disrespectful to the player, his family and his fans.

Hey r/football and Redditch fans!

We’re thrilled to bring you even closer to the action with something special this week. Get ready for an exclusive AMA with Redditch coach Tim Flowers, also former England & Premier League goalkeeper (and winner with Blackburn!)

The AMA will kick off tomorrow at 19:00 BST and the questions will be answered on Thursday at the same time.
Whether you're curious about Tim's vision for the season, strategies and tactics or just want to know his favourite meal, prepare your questions and meet us tomorrow for a chance to directly engage with the coach, and who knows, he might have something special prepared for us :)

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this exciting collaboration with Redditch FC.

Up the Reds!

It's the fixture all Redditch United fans look to when scouring the fixture list. When do we play Bromsgrove Sporting home and away?

The first installment falls this evening as we head to the Victoria Ground in search of extending our impressive record of 4 wins from 4 previous meetings. Redditch (10th, 13 points) will be hopeful of overturning their blip in form with no greater opportunity to do so than against Bromsgrove (18th, 9 points). The Reds have picked up 6 points in their previous 5 games, whilst the Rouslers have 3 points in their previous 5.

Form often goes out of the window in these cagey affairs. Catch the live updates here from 7:45pm BST. UP THE REDS 🔴 (in blue this evening).
