  1. Voted unsure in the poll as never heard of him before linked. Certainly lacks the feel good impact of a big name. Perhaps interestingly it actually gives me more confidence that we paid a big sum for him and his team (4m or so) This is no penny pinching exercise that’s clear, but a planned appointment of the man they wanted. No discussion and interviewing of different candidates, they had a name at the top of the list and it was done in less than a week. That’s hopeful. When SR came in we were all generally impressed……no doubt this is the first big test……… Welcome NJ …. Everyone was a who? once.
  2. Mario Licka.....though not in the PL era. His wife however ....... absolutely tip top
  3. Cant see it, other than potentially loans for Gunn and some of the B team. If you look at the squad listing on the official site for Ralphs favoured 4-2-2-2 formation, you have exactly 2 players for each position, which is probably what the club is aiming for in its first team squad.
  4. Regarding CB's and considering the current market, in order to get better than Bednarek, Yoshida & Vestergaard we are surely going to need to pay +25m. I cant see us doing that and if we do get one in, it will surely be in the Bednarek mould as one who potentially could be better. Interestingly, what do you reckon Bednarek is actually worth in todays market?
  5. It's a good point that peoples views can change over time, but I dont think its really about being conservative or not (there are plenty of solid Labour voters who are for Leave). I just think its a generational question. The young in the main have grown up in a globalized world, are quite tolerant of immigration, have a looser connection to national ideals etc. That to me seems the driving motivations. They don't remember how great we were or aspire to that version of what being great means.
  6. Genuine question for Leave supporters. Why do you think the determined Brexiteers hold out for no deal? The reason why I ask, is that demographics will always at some point work against the Brexit ideal. As older voters die out and youngsters gain the franchise, its not beyond the realms of possibility that in a couple of general election cycles one party or another will run on a ticket to rejoin the EU. If that happens it would likely mean loss of the rebate and requiring the Euro. As I understand, already if no one changed their minds about Brexit, the death of leave voters means we are already a remainer nation if the referendum was rerun and its only likely to continue (demographics right) My thinking if I was a Leave MP would be to accept whatever possible to at least get out, in the hope that a softer form of Brexit lasts as long as possible. Just for disclosure, I'm a remainer (considering where I live no surprise) who thinks not implementing Brexit would create a democratic deficit. (but hopes for another referendum anyway even though I know its wrong!) Interested in peoples views on this as I'm bored on a Friday afternoon
  7. Definitely Pilchards........something about Pardew doing random clapping too if memory serves me.
  8. I’m quite happy with Ings to be honest, not sure why all the negativity. it’s a risk, but unless you play in the proven quality field (and even Man U it seems don’t want to pay for that at current fees) it’s a punt.
  9. Excellent. Thanks Guan. Some hopeful messages for sure and also sounded reasonable.
  10. Calling Guan 2.0........ As our ITK man, Are you ITK about whether AR 10 is actually ITK or is he a mere fantasist ITK? Thanks!
  11. Current UEFA Cup main sponsor and for the next 3 years, so highly unlikely. P.S. I'm am finally ITK for something on this one
  12. Good work and I'm even in one of your photos (well my leg anyway.......and even then I'm not 100% sure its my leg!)...but good work! ;-)
  13. Cheers. Will Park at the P+R Beverwaard and get the tram. I guess too much risk trying to park anywhere near the stadium. Should get to Rotterdam around 18.45. I've been to De Kuip before and I'm pretty confident the atmosphere will be great. Feyenoord definitely my European team now and as I work in Amsterdam a lot, I'm quite happy to wind up many of the Ajax supporters who work for me ;-)
  14. I'm going tomorrow and can't wait. As its a sell out though, I'm now a bit worried about parking. Any tips from our feyenoord regulars?
  15. How are we 23 posts in and the picture has not been posted yet?
