    I'd suggest you need to grow up a bit.

    Yep. I think he's that good.

    He just became the best player in our squad the second the ink was dry. Absolute quality player. Bar his recovery he's even too good for Bournemouth.
  4. Kind of the same line of thought but in my lifetime, which goes back a ways, I'd put Antti Niemi in that category but I don't wanna put one over the other. Le Tiss, VVD, Niemi. Whether their impact was obvious or more subtle, and whatever their personal opinions are, these are the 3 for me and i'd invite them over for tea anytime they liked. But if they started eating with the wrong utensil I should say OI!.......
  5. One of the best finishers I have ever seen, Leroy. Saw a fair bit of him in non-league (he played for a team managed by my old man)
  6. Yes. Shame about the execution but he fooled the keeper. No different to sending the keeper the wrong way and sticking it past the opposite post but it was a shite pen that just happened to be a Panenka.
  7. Ryan Fraser - Always makes something happen.
  8. I was there and we deserved to win that game. The off field antics were superb! (as was Prague) Also went there to watch Denmark - Italy a year or so after but I'd learnt my lesson and took my opera glasses. Looks good on TV but I think it's a shite stadium and defo needs a few extra bogs.
  9. Vauxhall Viva, £60. It was green and the accelerator pedal fell off. Definite metaphor there.
  10. Not gonna post opinion on everything that has been said before but I will post a true story. I promise you I am not making what comes next up..... The day after the vote my Dad, god rest his soul, called me. Pretty sure some of you older ones know his name, he was pretty well known in non-league circles as a competent and successful manager, and I say that to highlight that seemingly 'smart' people can also got caught up in the whole Brexit mood of the time. I loved my dad, he gave me the best childhood a kid could wish for as a football nut and gave me things not many kids get to experience but I digress. I wouldn't swap that, or him, for the world. But this is what happened... The call to me the day after the vote (and these are the precise words): Dad: "What do you think of this Brexit then?" Me "I think we're dumber than snot" Dad "Pfff....well I voted for it. I'm tired of all this immigration" Me "Dad.....you live in Portugal. You're an EU immigrant" And that kind of sums up what our intellectual population voted for. It wasn't anything more than that. Island nation thinking, screw the important details.

    Can't agree more. I feel a bit sorry for Mara because I don't feel that he's been given a fair crack and I reckon he's a confidence player. If you're gonna start him, stick him in the number 9 role and give the kid a chance. I think there's a player in there but he hasn't been allowed to show it and you have to say that time is running out for him. Sticking him on the wing with AA in the middle was just.......a strange decision that kind of makes you lose faith in the management. Smallbone - he's done alright. I gave him MoM in one game but I think you're right that he's a fair weather/luxury player and not a guy who will jump into the trenches, where we need other personalities in his position.
  12. He puts the right players in the right places and we have a team that should be there or thereabouts. I think a lot of us fans see the same 'anomalies' about players and team selections so I sometimes wonder why the professionals do not see it. Granted they have more data and background to go on than we do but some of these things seem so obvious. Case in point (for me) is Alcaraz. Yes, he didn't have his best game against QPR but for me he starts every time. His major attribute, which he mostly backs up with his talent, is his attitude. He's a fighter, I suspect he is a bad loser and I want guys like that in my team. I want to see passion and a will to win over anything else at all and I wouldn't give a toss at getting beat 5-0 if I thought we went down fighting, so give me 11 guys with that attitude over more skillful players without it every time. So not starting him makes us a softer touch in my opinion. I would expect our profesiosnal football people to see that too or maybe it's just me being wrong, I don't know. Then we have AA. Blindingly obvious he can't play the 9 role but our professoinal football people apparently can't see that. Why? I could go on about several areas but you guys all know it already so I won't bother.
