  1. Good 11. think we can put to bed the idea of a SR-mandated 5atb now. Just gotta smash ‘em. Only a win is acceptable.
  2. And there it is
  3. Surely he's regressed since being with us? From finishing 4th in a 3-horse race to 10th in a 2-horse race.
  4. Very glad for Boro to get a puncture after their winning start.
  5. Okay, fair enough, but I had to scroll down halfway through the front page to get to it.
  6. I know that Sheffield United aren't doing well but that's no reason for Wikipedia to laugh at them.
  7. First south coast derby in years and the BBC wants to talk about Isak and Man Utd's goalkeepers.
  8. They’ll love him because he’s 1.92m
  9. Too early to tell, the squad has been overhauled massively.
  10. Rivers you are a great storyteller. Thanks for posting. Hope the team does us and your late Dad proud.
  11. Yeah I agree with this a lot. Ultimately I would like us to be treading water in the PL, with a strong core and a revolving door where talent comes in and superstars come out. No real worries about relegation and a decent go at the cups. That's the best we can hope for. That's what SR should be aiming for.
  12. I know you're bantering but no way he goes in the summer if we get promoted, a season in the PL will skyrocket his value.
  13. Move over Isak, the Sam Edozie transfer saga is the one I'm looking forward to resolving the most...
  14. Agreed. He has no system they need to gel to and has said simply if you’re good enough you’ll play. We will see a largely changed starting 11 next weekend.
  15. Do you actually play football in Turkey or just drool over how tall the players are?
  16. Good luck at Millwall.
  17. Post it one more time?
  18. Mee signs for Sheffield United
  19. They are insufferable Just zero self awareness
  20. Still a 6/10 for me. Although I think that Archer will come good, I don't think our current striking options are that strong. I also think our defense is a bit lethargic and mediocre, and do we really have to bring up Bazunu again? Anyway, I think we've recruited well in the second half of the window, particularly on the wings and in midfield (well, those make up most of the signings, anyway). I don't know much about the latest incomings, especially those that came from non-EFL clubs like Jander and Jelert, but they seem to be highly rated. Well it's down to Still and the squad to perform now, let's see how the next few months unfold.
  21. Is this what debloating feels like? I don't like this feeling... Saints... sign Bamford and Muric so I can put my mind at ease!
  22. That's lovely.
  23. Fair enough. He wasn't bad value for under a million, we've upgraded now though and it's best he moves on.

    Will Still

    By that logic, every team we will ever play against is our rival. A rival is someone you are of similar ability to and you want to surpass. I don't consider the likes of West Brom, Coventry, Boro, Norwich or whoever else rivals for that particular season - because we had an extreme amount of financial muscle and better players on average than everyone except Leeds and Leicester. Ipswich of course were also rivals in practice because they ended up performing at a comparable level to us. In regards to your remarks about the unbeaten run giving the opportunity for us to reach the play offs, obviously if you pick up points consistently you will be in the mix at the end of the season. But the trouble is that we were (afaik) aiming for automatics, and if we weren't then we should have been. We had the squad for it. If we had not been unbeaten and instead lost more and won more, we would have been in a better position. It takes 3 draws to equal a win, and doesn't help your GD much either.
