Yesssss, here we go!

But random but Van Gaal has the same facial build as Piers Morgan and I can’t unsee it

incredible what you can do when you actually try to attack

perfect goal for this game. means the boring dutch have to chase the game opening it up… hopefully

paid the goalkeeper

he’s just very weak, wasn’t even a foul

pass by messi reminds me of mara

Someone in my household has Harry and Meghan on Netflix, they’ve made it out that Brexit and wanting good immigration policy is now racist.

yes surely england will beat croatia, when have we ever lost to croatia at a world cup?..

Wonderful stuff, moments like this is what makes it

haven’t seen a Brazilian bottle something so much since Guly at Pompey Away

saved. aha

i’m getting nervous and I don’t even give a ****

is it worth putting on?

And these players are proven in a top league in their country and so are good prospects for us. I would much rather this than going to the championship again, the players are overpriced and regularly shite.

No doubting that we’ve been consistently shit for 3 straight years minus the odd month.

The problem is most proven premier league strikers are either too old now, or occupied with another club with no chance of moving. Who is there available? Iheanacho, Wood…? I thought we were definite for relegation but the more time we have the more I buy into bible basher keeping us up.

Dosent help this season due to the world cup, but I would say fixture lists are more on a premier league teams side normally.

It is, of course we would sign a championship level striker when we are in league one. Dosen't mean we sign a championship level striker when we are in the Prem

So you looked at our two pony championship strikers and thought we need another Championship striker

I agree with you. i’m not sure obviously under Jones, but it depends on the manager. if we had ralph or even Koeman/Poch if a young player was decent enough they’d have still given a teenager a go. see Gallagher, Shaw, Chambers, Gape, Reed, Hesketh, Tino, Stephens, Lavia, Nlundulu, Tella etc. If the likes of Hesketh, now playing for Eastleigh, gets a chance in European games, surely someone of the quality of Bale or Chamberlain would be given a chance at this level despite being young. I mean some of the players mentioned are pretty shit and didn’t take their slim chances, but surely the fact they got one in the first place is proof.

Not being in the Premier League caps our Youth Academy. Whilst we still bring through good players, top players - I was watching Musiala documentary and he said he left for Chelsea as they were Prem at the time - leave us and we have to rebuild again. We are just approaching 10 years in the prem which means we are starting to see players come through who joined us in the Prem

I think it’s more appropriate to look at the 23,000 of 2005/06 to be more realistic. we’ll lose a good 5-8k supporters overnight. The support losing plastic prem atmosphere would be a benefit imo, also I prefer the football. the only downside is a lack of enjoyment if you do a forest/birmingham/Ipswich style relegation with staying in the championship seemingly forever. we were lucky last time for only 7 years, if you take pompey we laugh at them for being stuck in league one but that could be us in the champ, it’s changed now for us we can’t bankroll our way through leagues spending more than everyone else ie Lambert 1 million in lg 1. near enough everyone has a couple prem quality players in the championship which is why it’s so good.

I think I might care a bit after the fourth straight relegation and mid week games vs the likes of eastleigh and boreham wood

imo women are more masculine now than ever, with men being more feminine then they’re ever been. Masculinity main trait is aggression, so it could be true interesting yet not impressive news.
