  1. This, get them into another sport which hasn’t dined with the money ball devil, otherwise if it is to be football, go to your local non league club.
  2. Embarrassing. A huge amount of change required for next season.
  3. The Monaco fans are still laughing that someone bought him and they got 19m for him.
  4. Yep, with the schedule as it is, the WH is a critical fixture. Can either help us out of the relegation zone or deepen the anxiety.
  5. Because he has a job.
  6. Considering the surrender (64 seconds) to Newcastle. A draw or two could be there if we get lucky. It seems the club are relying on none of the three worst clubs to not get the results to get above us.
  7. It all depends on whether the players have relegation clauses in their contracts. Assuming they do, the players that will be off, either through their decent performances, contract expiring or personality of a rat agitating for a move are: Bertrand Cedric Lemina Forster Tadic Romeu Gabbiadini Redmond Gardos Pied Those that could possibly be off depending on the deal on offer, timing of the deal etc: Hoedt JWP Boufal Hojbjerg Carrillo (maybe something in his current contract that he can leave) Those that are staying as the club will not want them to leave or they'll be lucky to have offers for them: Stephens Clasie Austin McCarthy Yoshida Bedranek Targett Sims Davis Lewis Gallagher Reed Valery McQueen Long Jones Slattery Seager Wood Flannigan Hesketh
  8. I’m starting to think we’ll be safe doing it the hard way and getting nine draws from the remaining fixtures. Any wins will be reserved for the cup! Assuming WBA remain in the relegation zone. The two places up for grabs look to be filled by Stoke, Crystal Palace, Newcastle or Huddersfield. Trying to stay positive.
  9. The cheap option would be to stick with Pellegrino and see what he can do with more of the academy players and the rest of the squad which are not sold.
  10. But you didn’t say who for!
  11. There is a couple of decent articles on him in the Guardian over the last couple of months. I cannot imagine our players putting on a play! He may have other ideas to build a team from an emotional and cognitive prospective but it’s a huge risk to assume it would work here.
  12. Cup win. Has to be for honours.
  13. I don’t think RB could have made a funnier response! Thanks for adding to the laughs.
  14. Cannot vote on the app but would be sack for me as he has shown only a glimmer of competence in a couple of games. That may be due to the opposition giving an opportunity for the team rather than some excellent team management and tactical set up! There are some managers that would be worth a go for the short term. However, I believe that the club will stick with him irrespective of relegation or survival. He may not be the root cause of the current issues at the club but I can not see him help fixing any of them. The squad is reasonably, missing a few important/strong characters but the worry is that they will not be filled appropriately and there doesn’t seem to be the pathway to the first team anymore. It was one of the most important elements to help the club recruit youngsters and promising players but it seems to have the been abandoned.
  15. The club make it worse by buying the manager’s pet player for double his worth. All it does is illustrate Pellegrino is here until at least the end of the season.
  16. We didn’t beat any last year. We’ve fücked up other winnable home games to worry about getting the odd win against a top six side. It does show what a soft side we’ve become, if we’re not fighting for a result. Shouldn’t be to far of the top of the fair play league if that still exists.
  17. The Carrillo signing means this inept manager is going nowhere. Unfortunately I expect him to lead the promotional push next season.
  18. From klipperty Klopp: “I don’t think anyone at Southampton will say we’ve stolen him,” he said. “It was a very public deal and the numbers, even if they are not 100%, are OK so maybe they are really happy and they say: ‘Thank you for all the money we have now.’ Or it could be the other way around. It’s not only the players we have. Since I’m here if you ask half the Premier League: ‘Where is he from?’ they say: ‘Southampton.’ Ox [Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain] is from there, although he took a different way, Theo Walcott. There are good players from this area. Maybe we should have a scouting department directly in Southampton?” What a ignorant twät.

  19. Maybe they’ll have a fake supporter with a stunning CV of fandom and that he wouldn’t be seen except by his family.
  20. Probably the first step to facilitate the 39th PL game while teams are touring Asia.
  21. And as a leaving present, he can have a signed copy... Tactical Periodization is a methodology that trains soccer players through a logical process that focuses on four moments of the game. These four moments are: Offensive Organisation, the Transition from Defence to Attack, Defensive Organisation, and the Transition from Attack to Defence. Through Tactical Periodization, the aim is to develop players to rapidly alter their on-field behaviours according to the tactical context of the match, and what actually unfolds in front of them. In turn, every training exercise focuses on at least one of the four moments, and always the coach's tactical game model of how he wants his team to play. In doing so, football players prepare and learn how best to conquer the often unpredictable matches that they encounter competitively. This book is the English language translation of the acclaimed book Periodización Táctica by world-renowned coach and sports science specialist Xavier Tamarit.
  22. This is it for me. Grateful for ML for saving us and establishing the framework for the club to succeed. KL trimmed back on expenditure (quite rightly - her prerogative) , however it seems to me the framework that built the club back up has been shelved for whatever reason or there was and still is a loss of focus. She wrote an open stating the club will be in good hands, it would have been better for her to stay silent on that matter, just like Gao himself.
  23. -1 For buying a manager’s player. The club not sacking the clown.
  24. They are all the same, unless you change to watch a different match.
  25. Maybe it’s all a ploy so that the club move to plan Z, Samir Nasri who is now a free agent.
