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...

Re: The Managerial Merry-Go-Round Thread

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!

Re: Champagne

Happy 40th! I’ll be joining you next year.

Not bothered in the slightest by champagne tbh. Obviously mainly had it at weddings where it’ll be cheap s***, so would be interesting to compare it to something “good”.

Punditry across the board is so reactionary. One win (however it comes) and they’re like “much improved, turned a corner” blah blah.

Perfect timing for the Chelsea Vs Man Utd match as I've been struggling to get to sleep for the last few nights.
Should have watched some of Brentford v Brighton last night!

For anyone travelling to games, I stayed at the Hotel Balmoral on Tuesday night and it was only £59 + free parking. 15 minute walk to the stadium (pretty much straight), rooms were spotlessly clean, big bed - no complaints at all. There's a curry house attached to it, didn't eat there but seemed pr...

Re: Midweek football - 2/4 April 2024

The best part for me was that the ref was actually shown far back enough to make a sensible decision, rather than badly selected frames. You wonder why referees rarely seem to ask for the replay to be rewound further back rather than the replay shown to them which invariably begins a microsecond be...

Re: Midweek football - 2/4 April 2024

Referee was sent to the monitor in the Brighton game and DID NOT overturn his initial decision on a penalty! Only the second time that has happened - hopefully see more of this. Just because VaR say to the ref they think he’s made a mistake, some things will (and have been) subjective so it doesn’t ...
