  1. Yes why didn't @Rick and @Dr. Gonzostop the club signing him?!
  2. We really shouldn't. The only real negative is Ward. Not to say all the goals are his fault, because they weren't, but majority have been due to his huge mediocrity. Every other player, especially in our first XI (+ 2/3 others) are near enough same squad that won the cup 18 months ago. It's scary to think we may only have a handful of games left of watching Maddison . We don't usually sell big players in January, but he's destined to leave in summer. Several players are too good to just play mid-table football.
  3. Matip added to Liverpool's injury woes. Diaz, Arthur Melo, TAA, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones. Quite the list, with 4 of those always in/around the first team as a regular.
  4. We were 7th or 8th at highest under MON. We were picked off by personnel changes which started the decline. When MON & Lennon went to Celtic and Heskey to Liverpool, it went downhill and fast. Peter Taylor and then Dave Bassett were seriously bad, and then a stadium move followed by relegation hit us even worse. Then it took bloody ages to get back in to the Premier League. I hate that it's come to where we are now so soon after a League title and FA Cup win. It feels a bit surreal.
  5. Amazing what spending hundreds of millions of pounds can do isn't it?! It's not that incredible when you think about what Arsenal have spent, and what we can. The rich six can spend as they wish. Simple as that. What the smaller, less rich, clubs could do wouldn't be sustainable for them. Arsenal were never going to be away from top 4/5 for long-term. Helps that you have a competent manager, too.

    You know things must be bad for you if the Internet is fine in Scotland and your own isn't...

    Scotland drawn with Norway and Spain in Group A. Republic of Ireland get Netherlands and France in Group B. Wales with Croatia and Turkey as their main opponents.

    Euro 2024

    Italy and England in same group. Ukraine and North Macedonia too.
  10. The agenda against one player so strongly is odd. To pick at such a specific pass and any media criticism to support it too.

    Medium fast I'd say. Forgot about Pollock!

    Pat Cummins is currently Aussie captain. For Test Cricket anyway. Jason Holder was West Indies captain until recently. Bumrah was captain against England in July for one test.
  13. His whole 'Repertoire' series on Netflix is superb.
  14. Had a few games on the go. Watched a bit of it, then QPR then settled on Hoffenheim vs Bremen too.

  16. Pfft, crutches and all that fuss for a bruised knee. What a drama queen!
  17. Only 61, too. Is it known how he died? When I used to play FM more regularly, his name was always one to go to to sign.
  18. Reminds me of us and our Evans signing. Good leader, experienced, very capable, aggressive and determined. And cheap!

    The Holiday Thread

    I agree - it is strategy, for sure. No one is 'supposed' to, of course. But if it is legit the reason that he's not logged on for ages since it happened because he's pissed off, I think he just needs to let it go now!
