Man CIty away for me, so I can enjoy the media shock at Haaland being in the pocket of Bednarek/ Stephens/ Lyanco all game. 🙂

I still cringe thinking of that 5-0 thumping to Charlton in the second game of 98/99.

What our recruitment team are looking at... https://fminside.net/players/2-fm-22/93065023-mattias-svanberg

He was good enough to be getting minutes for us. But I think Ralph said that every time he got there, he didn't sustain that level. After a few attempts at that, Ralph seemed to lose patience, or simply wasn't prepared to do it again, and moved onto Nlundulu. So while he may develop further, he wasn't going to do it under Ralph. And that's his decision to make. Hard to say if another manager could have got more out of him. Too early to say if it will, if not come back to bite us, then be a player who we're constantly reminded of as going oto bigger things after we sold/ released them. Signing any striker who can score a few goals for us next season will help.

Agreed. I wasn't really expecting much after the last couple, so would have been easily please. But it still managed to be incredibly dull. Far too obsessed with fanservice and navel gazing.

When I read that the strip was going to be about being bold and brave, I thought we were going to be relaunching the Pride one from last year. But we're nearly half way through Pride month and nuffink.

I think it was the Price of Football this week(I think, I was half asleep at the time) that came out with Pep having a 100-110m a year net spend and Plucky Waif Klopp having one of about £28m per year (thanks to canny transfer business that state owned clubs, thanks to their funding models, don't have to bother about.) So for Klopp to be getting close to City is nothing short of a miracle, I guess it was about to say, but I fell asleep.

Did Bobby Moore play at full back too?! If not, doing Chambers and Valery a disservice there. 🙂

I'm fairly sure someone at the club said that they were also looking at this as a recruitment strategy. Trying to get a Sancho while at Watford or a Bellingham while at Birmingham, along with getting the top Academy talent from bigger clubs, and offering them a pathway too. Ankersen helping us use the Brighton/ Brentford method of recognising value/ particular traits in players adds another strand. With our own youth players and players already here, we've got the basis of a proactive, robust strategy.

I caught Alex Crook offering his in depth, technical opinion on Gareth Southgate and England's tactics tho other day on the radio. You too can have a media career if you spout utter nonsense rumours for long enough. I thought they'd stop him to ask random passers by for their in depth, technical opinions too, but nope.

Just wanted to ask if everything's okay. I can't imagine anyone wanting to rewatch that. It was horrific first time. 🙂

We may have to adjust the timing of our fake injury break. The outfield won't be able to have breathers watching goal kicks sail into the stand. 🙂

A foul throw, an offside and I thought Kane fell over when he saw the ball going out of reach. Some would call getting apenalty after all that a bit fortunate. Took it well though. 🙂

I think Redmond offers more, but presumably someone has to make way, if we're looking to upgrade there.

Wasn't the blurb that he was the second or third top goalscorer after Solksjaer in Norway's league, trailing his undoubted soon to be success with the guy Manchester United's had not long got?
