Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Palace

Penalty call will be used as an excuse but once again today we have been horrendous, completely lacked any direction or anything that even resembled a plan. 2nd best all over the pitch, at times we didn't even know what pass to make, so ponderous and slow on the ball, hint of rising arrogance after ...

If the performance wasn't frustrating enough, the commentators have suddenly decided that Eze is now Ezah.

Murphy is so far out of his f***ing depth, shame we dont have any actual fullbacks on the bench <roll>

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Palace

One thing that's clear from this season is the likes of Murphy, Krafth, Longstaff, Lascelles, Dubravka need to be giving us 110% just to keep up with the players around them. When they are off it, it's become so noticeable. Think it could take 3-4 more windows to really address the squad quality as ...

Re: Weekend football - 20/21 April 2024

Offsides should never have had the lines imo, should have been the naked eye and simply a question of can you say with 100% certainty that's "clear and obviously" offside.

Handballs should have been for deliberate or ones that drastically impacted the play.

Re: Weekend football - 20/21 April 2024

A big problem with VAR is how they completely went the opposite of what they said it would be. If they had just stuck to the clear and obvious mantra they hammered on about then a lot of the issues wouldn't have happened. We went from trying to stop absolute howlers to measuring offsides by pixels a...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

Mentioned this on twitter yesterday, they are going on like he would be a £10m buy, in this current market and with his current contract status he's £120m+, they dont have the financial power to pay what we would ask for.

The only way he's affordable is if he has a clause hidden away.

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

Both are solid signings to be fair, we just need to ship out some of the dead wood like Dummett and Ritchie to make room and i think that improves the squad a fair bit.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Spurs

It's called working weekends lads. 👍 But I'm glad me having my own opinion has gotten under your skin so much <laugh> With that in mind, obviously when you've had a chance to catch up with highlights/match report etc, what would your opinion be about today Personally I think the team looked well dr...

Re: Football Titbits

Just about everything that has gone up doesn't actually need to go up half the time and football is no exception, the vast majority of big business will record an increase on profits every single year but will always find an excuse to increase the costs somehow.

Re: Football Titbits

Most clubs are owned by billionaires these days, you put it firmly in control of the owners, also I'd argue it makes clubs a lot more attractive in terms of being taken over. Personally think it's a better option than now, you currently have the same situation where only certain clubs are allowed to...

Re: Football Titbits

Neville mentioned something on the Overlap about how in league 2 a club can spend whatever they like as long as the owner puts the money in up front to cover the cost of the outgoing spend. It just makes so much sense. If an owner can afford to and is willing to put their money in then just let them...

Re: Football Titbits

There is no logic, FFP isn't worth the paper it's written on, if Everton wanted they could probably appeal and take the whole thing beyond the PL. The fact that they don't even know how to punish teams shows how little thought went into the rules. They only cared about keeping an artificially induce...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers

That horrific attempt at a knee slide from Bruno deserved to go to VAR more than the last one. **** me 🤣
