Re: Football Titbits
If its a manager, since its was in UK in 90s, its one of five right? Moyes, Dyche, Howe, O'Neill and Wilder Wilder is ruled out as it was someone in post in November. Neither O’Neill nor Howe would have been in “boss” positions 20 years ago due to their age. So IF it was a manager it is probably Mo...

Re: Football Titbits
Maybe reading into that too much but "Boss" makes it sound more like one of the owners rather than a manager.
Though confirming a manager would narrow down who it could be and conflict with the anonymity part.

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
Lloyd Kelly deal all but done according to some condiments . <laugh> His injury record rivals Wilson though... I'd hope that Kelly is mainly used as back up rather than having lots of game time, I'd see him more of an upgrade on Dummett, basically like a Krafth for the left side/CB I think his inju...

Re: Weekend football - 2/6 May 2024
I've noticed this a few times recently on tighter calls, been a couple in the premier league, not ones that lead immediately to a goal like this one but some tight calls that are given when there's at least an opportunity to play a dangerous ball. If they are to continue with this ridiculous millime...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Burnley
That's the Premier League for you, it's basically how it's been set up, sadly a lot of teams have been the turkeys that are voting for Christmas over the years, so I do lose a little bit of sympathy in that regard as it's been of their own making with how they went with so much of the "top 6" **** e...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Burnley
I said a few times recently that I think we only really need 2 quality signings, a RW and a CDM. But that was taking into account the potential free defensive signings. So that would depend on how the Kelly and Tosin rumours go. Bowen would be the dream signing for me, only hope of signing him is if...

Can't say I know too much about him as a DoF or what he's done at Palace.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Burnley
I'd say we are only 2 first team players short of really having a go at top 4 again and to challenge in europa. I think it's more than possible to improve RW and CDM positions this summer. Then I think next year we look at another forward (looks like Howe wants Wilson to stay next season at the leas...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Burnley
Murphy is ok for the squad, like Longstaff I feel they both need to be playing at 110% just to keep up with the first team, when they both dip they both look very average and become the weak links imo. I'd probably keep Murphy over Almiron this summer but that RW definitely needs a proper upgrade. L...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Burnley
Burn was completely found out this year and it's been clear to see in many games, last season is last season, we can only judge the now and he was getting shredded almost weekly at LB. I don't agree on the Joelinton injury for the pressing issues and protecting the back, I think since the beginning ...

Re: Sandro Tonali Deal Confirmed? You bet!
I'm not saying that they should all be allowed to just bet on whatever they want but I think it does need some perspective. The whole thing is still a bit of a mess and not fit for purpose. I think this latest Tonali thing has been handled perfectly by the independent panel. They have looked at it a...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Burnley
Hoping we can finally put a bit of consistency together for this run in, if Spurs and Man Utd s*** their pants there's a chance of 5th if we can put the results in that we know we are capable of. The amount of goals we have put up this season is amazing, it's just been let down by some utter s**** a...

Re: Sandro Tonali Deal Confirmed? You bet!
I don't really buy into that argument, one bet even if it's 10k or whatever is barely going to change odds when in the grand scheme it's going to be nothing in terms of the volume of bets during the week/weekend. I think the influence these individual bets make is vastly overstated here. Definitely...

Re: Sandro Tonali Deal Confirmed? You bet!
It's not the length really that's weird to me, I just thought it would have made sense to ban in Italy and for a ban hearing to be held separately to enforce a PL/FA ban. The whole betting thing is bizarre in football though considering the well covered argument of how the sport is rife with bettin...

Brave an honest decision, would have been so easy to keep quiet about it. Hopefu...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
Funniest thing is at the time someone guessed he was talking about Yoshinori Muto, then we went and actually signed Muto a few weeks later
