The article doesn't say that, the author simply suggests they will. Hope they do to be fair, they might learn if Sparky gets a chance to explain. We have to end this attitude of unto hability of referees, some of them, Moss in particular are simply not good enough, whatever Whitey might say.

Really don't think much credit goes to our keeper coach. Alex was a good keeper before he joined us, Watson doesn't seem to have destroyed him like he has our other keepers. Credit should go to Alex for his patience while we stuck with the awful FF.
-
Sincerely hope some of them don't stick around.

Of course Romeu can play, 10 yellow deadline passed after 32 games. Next cut off is 15, even OR cannot get to that this season. Lemina, probably subbed as precaution, have to wait and see I guess.
-
Gutted, so nearly. The injury time was fair enough, and not the issue. The "foul" by Redmond was probably not a foul, and the free kick taken from 10-20 yards from where the "offence" happened was the issue, Moss is an embarrassment, again. Hopefully missing Yoshida at Swansea will not cost us, we have Jack to come in, would have been nice to have the option of dropping Wesley Liability Hoedt.

Excellent, our Chinese bank owners will be pleased that Gao can pay back a small part of his loan.

Yeah, just remember how bad it was when Poch was our manager, or when Koeman came in and took English lessons. Both of them were dreadful because of their inabiity to speak English. Puel and Pellegrino actually spoke English better than Poch. It has nothing to do with being able to speak English, it is to do with communicating and getting your messages across, that doesn't need to be by a native English speaker to be effective. Sparky is no more English than any of the other aforementioned managers for that matter. Given the majority of our players are not native English speakers (Forster for instance) it really is not a necessity, but it is nice to have someone who is able to communicate easily from a supporter's pov.

Your first sentence says it all. No hope for you pal.

If you don't understand that Leeds are a bigger club then you clearly know nothing about football history. He said bigger clubs have suffered that fate, i.e. in the past. European Cup Runners-up, Cup winners cup runners-up, UEFA Cup winners twice, Everton have won the Cup Winners Cup, Leeds League Champions 3 times in the reasonably modern era, same as Everton. There was a time in recent memory when Leeds were certainly top 2 or 3 in this country.

Think this is one of the keys. We certainly looked fitter yesterday, the way we set up to play Boscombe meant we needed runners, and they couldn't have done that under the Pellegrino/Puel regime. Its probably taken a few weeks since his appointment for Hughes to be able to get players playing like this, you cannot change fitness levels overnight, but his more intensive training looks like it has worked. If only he had been given the chance to do this a few weeks earlier, not convinced yet we can get out of this mess but at least we have a chance with two tricky but winnable away games coming up.
-
Hoedt really is a liability. He needs to learn a lot, good player in there, but he really is so naive, too laid back and lacking in understanding the game.
-
The effect of Puel who managed 1 win and 2 draws in the last 8 games of the season, with 0 goals in our final 5 home matches. You really need to think about what you post. Puel becmae a ****ing disaster who is largely responsible for where we are now. He is heading the same way at Leicester just to prove that his achievement wasn't just a fluke.

Racial stereotyping at its best.

Probably thinks Boscombe is in Dorset as well.

Big clubs are entitled to win, we should just let them...

Presumably your retort to a Liverpool fan is that we have the same number of PL trophies. Same as Spurs as well. -
Correct. He also won't stick around if/when we are relegated. Bayern's cast-offs do not play in the Chumpionship.
-
40 million . We will be lucky to get £40, which is about all he is worth these days. Perhaps the price quoted includes Boufal and Redmond in a buy one get two tossers free deal.
-
Despite the continuing mistakes he makes, costing us goals directly by his casual play. Also gives next to nothing goals wise. He will be a good player eventually but needs to cut out the mistakes. Stephens gets panned on here by some, yet makes very few mistakes, reads the game better, provides a threat up front, people also say he does not head the ball, which h is a complete myth.
-
Stephens will come back in, the dreadful Hoedt will be rightfully dropped. Hoedt will be good one day, but has a lot to do to get there. Stephens is infinitely better than Wesley.
-
Quite honestly, there is nothing to suggest that anyone would have turned around the complete shambles that we had gotten into. When we have ended up with such useless tossers as Boufal, Tadic, Redmond, Carillo, Hoedt, Lemina I really don't see that Guardiola, Mourinho or Klopp individually or cleectively would have made any significant difference. I really don't think blaming Hughes is particularly smart. This has been coming since Les fell out with Koeman, and our shambolic ownership and senior management failed to see what was happening and take decisive action.
-
Yes it does, also misses their match v Swansea, so not good for us.
-
Think Harry Lewis would be considered backup if we are in the Championship. Has played most of the season for Dundee Utd in the Scottish Championship (though has been relegated to the bench recently) to gain the experience, would be strange not to have him back in the first team squad especially if we are relegated (unless he wants to return to Shrewsbury who will probably be in the same league as us, can't believe that I've just written that). Anyway, does anyone actually know anything about this Westwood guy,? Unfortunate name, does he come with a bell?
-
How can Forster be a better shot stopper? He has never stopped one (except away at Arsenal last year or the one before). Shot stopping is Fraser's poorest skill. SKD was (probably still is) a better shot stopper that Desparate Dan. :-)

Nearly £100m worth of 'Talent' not on the pitch yesterday

Lemina is Gabonese, he was born there not in France.
