  1. you wanna try following Harrogate Town pal. Daddies boy Simon Weaver in his 15th season in charge. The smallest club in the football league, playing conference North 5 years ago midtable finish last season yet still fans moan about him
  2. No other striker we've got scores the goal at Arsenal he got. His goal saturday Armstrong wouldn't have got a look in and Adams would have been on his heels on the edge of the box, looks a decent signing so far to me. Decent finisher with good movement, something we've not had for ages.
  3. that's comforting to know. I remember is Cortese era we had a five year plan and because we got to the premier league in 3 we were a year ahead so relegation didn't matter when we started that season even worse than this one. We are 8 years ahead of plan here, all hail SR and the 10 year plan!
  4. People dont seem to realise there is more than one league. It's not just about points at the end of the season. There are possession tables, XG tables, turnovers, touches inside your own penalty area, there are many, many more factors to soccerball than the meaningless stat of how many points you accumulate over an arbitrary period set by men in suits miles away. Who decided 38 games was a measure of success? In any case no one really wins that way anyway, at the start of the next season everyone is back to zero whereas a philosophy can last forever. No one mentions who topped the science class in Greece in 320 BC but they've talked about Aristotle forever.
  5. You just don’t understand the philosophy do you?
  6. We’ve conceded 3 goals in 5 of our 8 games this season. Unfortunately of the 3 games we’ve conceded less than 3, 2 of them were the first and second game of the season so I think the goals against column is going to look far worse if things carry on as they are.
  7. Agreed. The only possible option was to replace him with Ryan Fraser.
  8. is it one of Les Reeds secret dossier of managers we've been tracking for ages honestly we have it's just sheer coincidence they're all unemployed when we needed a manager
  9. yeah that's what i mean we dont even hold that out right and we'll probably scramble 11 points to share that one too. Although if anyone can set two records in one season it's Russ.
  10. would be good to add lowest ever points tally to our record defeat title. Knowing Saints we'll scramble to 11 points somehow and even fuck that up
  11. VAR is really brilliant isn't it. The tension it's added to the Liverpool v Chelsea game is wonderful. Also the celebration when the goal was awarded at Molyneux was incredible. Anyone who doesn't like VAR isn't a true TV subscription paying soccerball fan.
  12. Disagree. Bringing on Sullemana was a masterstroke. He hasn't scored or assisted i think for nearly 18 months, that has to change some time so Martin must have thought today was that day and why wouldn't you? If he doesn't play his bad form doesn't end. Martin said he feels better when Smallbone plays so that decision made sense. Bringing on Frazer was an attacking move, he would have forced Fatawu back and given him something to think about defensively whereas Taylor might be a full back with many years top flight experience but he is a defender so would have put us on the back foot All 3 substitutions made perfect sense the fact they didn't work is on the players.
  13. As i said above Martin reacted by bringing on Frazer 3 minutes later. You could clearly see that putting on a smaller, slower winger at wing back to match up against their winger, push him back and therefore make him less effective was a genius tactic that barring getting skinned for the goal and sent off would have resulted in us seeing out the win if the player hadn't messed up
  14. He countered the Fatawu substitution on 59 minutes by bringing on winger Ryan Fraser on 62 minutes. The tactic was really brilliant the fact it didn't work is down to the players not doing their jobs yet again.
  15. 4th minute of injury time winner for City, pitch side review upheld the original decision, dont remember seeing that before. Wolves defended very well and will feel unlucky to lose this.
  16. after last season success Ramus will be loving the fact he's failed this season as this will mean he's more likely to be a success in the future.
  17. nothing wrong with the tactics, they were perfect it was the players not doing their jobs again.
  18. i dont understand what's going on. We were assured once we had a a Kop end with away fans in the corner we would be invincible at home. 🤷‍♀️
  19. After last seasons unbeaten run he’s about to set another record at Man City.
  20. Because they want us to be Man City lite. Signing their academy players, the multi club set up the philosophy and identity bollocks. That’s what they want but the flaw in their plan is that Man City can do it because they’ve got the best manager in the world, the best players in the world, more money than god and can pretty much make their own rules as the premier league is scared that anything goes against them they’ll along with the other big clubs clear off into a European league and the premier league brand is gone
  21. Yep and Leicester had obviously watched that and worked it out, simple pulled back corner two players unmarked goal.
  22. The inevitable last minute of injury time goal against
  23. The advantage of 10 men for 20 mins and still not winning 🤦🤦🤦
  24. Why do we have to call them anything? Isn’t it up to them how they identify?
