BBC News - Sam Allardyce: Is modern football adopting Big Sam's playbook? - BBC Sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cd9ykn45xz2o Now the sage of soccer is asked

BBC News - Why Arsenal and Man City are bringing back long-ball football - BBC Sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvg00wx7j42o This is an interesting article citing City and Arsenal's change in approach this season to counter the well drilled high press and low block that has increasingly been adopted by more physical teams to defeat the high possession tip-tap approach that they have favoured in successive seasons. Maybe it's the only way we can get out of our Martin inspired rut. Judging by Still's ability to coach anything, I'm not so sure. But it's an interesting article nonetheless. Enjoy.

Downes is sick (again) so we may get our wish

Where was the lion picture?

He possibly will be, but we do have Downes, Charles and Jander, plus Edwards could play there.

Get a goalie and its a 10 from me

So, with Ederson joining Fenerbahce today was this such a random post?

Considering we have sub-standatd players in virtually every position going into this season I'm afraid that you are missing the jokes that have been on full display for the past 3 years at least.

Kevin

And BBD gone. Crack the beers!

So, is this a late Downes replacement? Thoughts team.

Loan goalie incoming?

Off ro Paris thankfully
