Suppose the only question is whether that's Krafth or Burn at left back.
Who’s the least slow out of burn and krafth…?

Re: Weekend football - 13/15 April 2024

If it helps I got back from Tunisia last night <laugh> going to be strange being sat at lunch time without a beer and looking at the rain. The match is my only highlight haha What's Tunisia like? I went years ago, around 2003 I think. Fine when you’re lounging around the hotel but bloody awful as s...

Put far more eloquently than me. https://twitter.com/WeAreTheFSA/status/1778740237700620733?t=EltZ1m2RBVz8gTj02GX1XA&s=19 Yep, the first line nails it.

Re: Football Titbits

Ticket revenue is dwarfed by television revenue, most PL sides have absolutely no need to increase prices. The extra revenue makes marginal (if any) difference to them, but can make a huge difference to your average match going fan. There’s no doubt that a lot of fans are priced out of football now....

Re: Football Titbits

Whatever the reasoning behind it, it seems completely scattergun as to what might happen to you if found guilty. What are the criteria for a 2 point deduction? What are the criteria for a 10 point deduction? Surely this must have been decided when the laws were agreed? It can’t be subjective, or can...

Re: Football Titbits

So how much was their breach to only get a 2 point deduction?

If you can be say, £50m over and only get a 2 points deduction it’s absolutely worth doing! That’s a decent player who could in theory earn you more than 2 extra points a season…

Re: Joelinton set to sign new deal

Great move, the one thing I'll say about Ashworth was he appeared to be a stickler when it came to contracts Wage limits, twice the board had to intervene with new contracts. Tbh not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing but delighted Jo has signed a new deal I’d say when it’s for someone absolu...

Re: Yankuba Minteh

As far as I'm aware, he plays off the right. From what I've read (none of the credible outfits, pinch of salt) the plan is to loan him out again, to a 'higher' standard of league. Bundesliga, apparently. Which would make sense, and offer clear progression if he goes to a lower level team, where he ...

Re: Yankuba Minteh

Scored twice and got an assist against Ajax today <notbad> Hugely impressive season…does he get a chance here next season or loaned out? What’s his actual position? If he plays off the right then there’s definitely a route into the first team for him next season. On the left no, as Gordon and Barne...

Shame, wasn’t that old really - similar age to my stepdad.

Obviously terrible for us, but not his fault he was given the job.

Re: Weekend football - 6/7 April 2024

Outside the top 3, the PL really isn’t particularly good this season. The fact that we’re only 2 points from 6th place after everything this season is pretty laughable! I mean good for us, but shows an absolute lack of quality.

2-2 - that was a strange feeling as I don't think I've ever cheered a Livarpool goal before! <scratch>
Tbh I’m more happy that dropping 2 points hinders Liverpool’s title chances.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers

Pleasing ! Take it and roll in Seven points out of nine is an acceptable return from these three fixtures. For a squad that is right under the pump it’s credit to all involved in keeping us ticking over I’d say that’s an excellent return tbf. If I was offered that before the West Ham game I’d have ...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers

I just saw the FT score so can pretend we dominated and deserved to win…

Seriously tho, this team can easily be challenging for top 5 if most (not even all) of our injuries aren’t as bad next year!
