  1. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-63132831 One of those laws we don’t have to go along with but why would you not, IMO.
  2. I genuinely can’t tell if this is a wind up or if you guys actually believe something this daft. 🤷‍♂️
  3. I remember Owen in an interview saying he could finish as well as he ever did by the time he was 16. The rest is just experience, decision making, movement, communication, physically beefing up etc. In short, I think this is simply as good as Adams and Armstrong are, finishing wise, and they’re pretty limited in that regard. Both are hard workers and basically Shane Long on a good day, but there’s a reason we got them for £15m from the Championship.
  4. Our form as a team over the last few years reflects our leading strikers form very well if you ask me. When Ings had long Covid and was looking for a transfer, his form dropped off and so did ours. Last year we were decent up until the end of February, around the time Broja lost form.

    I think we’re well beyond ‘Orwellian’ with Putin. When you’re invading your neighbours, raping and murdering teenage girls and butchering the local population, a few edited propaganda videos is child’s play.
  6. Absolute nonsense, against the top 3 teams around us we W2 D3 L1 and the loss was that absolute smash and grab by Reading.
  7. The problem is that those players cost £10-15m in 2014. In 2022 they would cost £25-30m and we just aren’t spending that. Today £15m buys you either unproven kids or Elyounoussis.
  8. IMG_2652.MOV I know I really shouldn’t laugh but…

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63121649 Don’t want to be outdone by the Czechs. Surely we can chip in and buy them a second hand A10 or something.
  10. Why would we want the manager who's bottom of the league on 4 points, having spent twice as much money as us?

    It would be an interesting legal precedent. I might pop around to my neighbour's house, murder him, have a referendum in which I vote for our two houses become an independent sovereign nation, keep all his stuff and declare it was all in self defence.
  12. Just crap as far as I understand. Two first team stalwarts when they were here, can't get into the worst team in the league.
  13. I'd mostly agree with that assessment, with a couple of exceptions. JWP, KWP, ABK and Lavia are decent PL standard players and would almost certainly leave. You can probably add Salisu to that because of his contract situation and Aribo looks like he might have enough about him to get pinched. I disagree on Adams, if we went down it'd probably be following a pretty disappointing season on his behalf, I doubt he'd have PL teams kicking down his front door. Overall, I think you could make a fairly decent Championship team out of: Bazunu Livramento Stephens Bednarek Perraud Tella Diallo ????? Armstrong Adams Armstrong
  14. The PL record for most goals in a season is jointly held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer on 34. Even with a mid-season WC, Haaland will eclipse that in mid January at his current scoring rate.
  15. I know people love a good 9-0 prediction but we’ve generally defended much better this season, with ABK. In fact since his debut against Leeds, Everton was the first time we’ve conceded more than one goal and that was largely the ‘keeper’s fault. I think they’ll probably get four or five but that’s basically a par score for a club like us against City.

    If they can push all the way down the West Bank of the Dnepr, that’s a huge chunk of Sovie… sorry, Russian troops they’re going to cut off from behind. It’s likely we’ll see more panicked retreats, like we saw from Lyman.
  17. Here’s a question; at what point (and I’m not saying it’s now) do we start talking about Haaland as the greatest PL striker of all time?
  18. Sadly, I'd be willing to bet there are people hoping for just that.
  19. Actually I kind of support Saints and I'd prefer to see at least some signs of positivity and heading in the right direction, even if the scoreline is fairly comprehensive. F**k knows what 9-0 would do to young Baz's confidence but hey, sack Ralph and I'm sure he'll turn into Lev Yashin.
  20. The only reason we're having this conversation is because Lavia is injured AND AMN has started much worse/slower than we'd hoped. Without both of those two things happening simultaneously, nobody gives the tiniest sh*t about selling Romeu. It's just unfortunate timing, if in three weeks both his replacements are fit and in form it becomes a moot point. Our transfer strategy was to replace an under-performing 31 year old with a talented Man City teenager and a 25 year old with 132 Arsenal apps. There's nothing wrong with that, this is just Boufal syndrome - His rating goes shooting up when he's not in the team.

    I would not be in the least bit surprised if somebody has a plan to do just that. I think we can all guess who that somebody might be.
  22. Romeu was crap in the last third of last season, I’ve no idea why people are wishing he was still here. Whether AMN turns out to be any better in the long term remains to be seen.
  23. Forget Ralph, if Steve Wigley was in charge I still wouldn’t want us to appoint Dyche.
  24. If Che Adams could hit a cows arse with a banjo, Wolves would be on half our points total.
