Nice, cheers 👍

That was the intention, but that seems to have turned into a tournament of its own.

Couldn't agree more. Shove them all in one group out of the way where they can actually compete with each other. I'd give the winner a play off place rather than a place in the tournament.

Better than biting the bite

African years. He's 62.

It's the national anthem. Support it if you represent your country. Anyways, we're winning 10 nil, we disagree, and I can't be arsed to get into pointless bollox with you.

With you on the pens, but it looked to me like Abraham left his foot in.

They can be what they want,but play for your country, sing the anthem.

Just saw the squad that's left. Thread bare.

It'd be 7 if we went 433

Get that, but this San Marino. They're worse than Pompey ffs. Personally, I'd prefer to see another forward player on the pitch rather than relying on Mings or Maguire.

Looks like 3 CB's against the mighty San Marino. The mind boggles.

Murray

Good move for him. He's struggled since he left us and a bit of instant glory up there will do him no harm. Bit of a come down from Barcelona though.

When your star witness is SKDman, you have a shit case.

We could, and the answer would still be what I and others have said and you'd still be sat there with your fingers in your ears refusing to listen, and we'll still have a Lyanco who's signing was underwhelming but looking a little better than expected. It'd also still be a Sunday with, I suspect, better things to do so I'm off to do those better things. Have a good day.

That's absolutely how it was, and if the details really matter to you, search back through the thread. As CB says, it's a bit of a pointless fight though.

That's been our way for years - buy, develop, sell, repeat. There can be a painful and slow development period - eg Salisu - but quick ones - Tino - or abject disasters - Hoedt - etc etc. The thing with Lyanco is that he didn't feel like the our usual type of investment signing. It felt like a cheap punt which may or may not work out. The reviews from Italy were underwhelming, thus posters who read those, were underwhelmed. So far he looks better than expected, and our coaches may be a part of that.

Yep. There'll be minimal expectation this season. If they go on a lucky run to the window still in touch, then he'll hopefully get backing to give staying up a go, but if the expected happens, he can build for next season.
