  1. They clearly are after an American franchise system, so I am not sure it is doomed to fail. Best EPL solution schedule enough games mid week to f up their plans. After all other completions schedule by agreement. What they going to do with a clash? I gave up watching European competitions a long time ago, as it does not interest me one bit. Being the also rans will get old pretty quick for some of these and the weaker will get tossed out for expansion in other markets. It will probably survive make money and the rest of us will have to adjust to paying lower wages. after all the total amount and ability of talent is not corolated to league income, just its price. Now the one bit I am not sure of is who is going to be forking over even more money to these people, basically you have to go back to the same group of people and ask them for additional money, not sure thats going to work. If you need a salary cap and cannot make it go down, find whoever is the most expensive now and say it is that, it will not help now, but it does stop it getting worse.
  2. I am thinking that the issue we have is that the way we play is not feasibly effective over a season with the players we have. The pressing game consumes players and without a large enough squad you cannot keep it up, even liverpool have consumed the fitness of their players so that they cant mount a defense of the tittle. I think this is why this style can only work for a short period of time if you can make it work long enough you look great, if you cannot obtain your goal before the tanks are empty you look like a muppet.
  3. I am waiting for the press to say it was Megan that killed him, you all know its going to happen. There was that period in the 90s when you wondered what weird out of touch thing he was going to say next when ever he visited anywhere, that's how I will always remember him.
  4. go for a pint, if you are lucky you might get some.
  5. As long as we all can agree our fans our better than theirs, I would rather smell of ponies than fish.
  6. The offside rule was added to make the game more entertaining, something might have changed in over 100 years but I doubt it. I think the best way would be to put tracking devices on the players then a computer can decide if the tracked part of the body is offside. Then we all get to argue if the tracker needs to be on a left nut or a shoulder or a foot.
  7. So the worst thing we did in Iraq was remove the statues of Sadam Hussein, got it.
  8. At least we cannot do a Middleborough and lose two finals and get relegated in a season. A few more points and we are safe. Worried for next season if this continues, if we come home with a cup and not flirting with relegation then its a good season. All teams in a similar position to us will struggle for resources next year, which will cause interesting decisions. Hopefully if we did win and get a European adventure we will give it a go, not use the games as mid week rests, a bit of extra money from it could make all the difference.
  9. All I care about is if he will continue some of the more questionable defenses of players that the last guy did.
  10. Almost sounds like someone needed to "fix" that result
  11. My kid who never got to revel in the glory of Murray in real time knew all about him from watching old race clips seemed to have a soft spot for him. Not always the most accurate, but in a time where the information available to the broadcaster was a lot more limited, and with a habit of condemning drivers engines to a fiery end with a word, half of the fun was listening to the legend that was Murray Walker, because in all the time I have watched over half of the races in a season were of the dull variety, so it was nice to have something to keep the interest up. No one I have heard since has managed to communicate the same excitement, even if they have been more accurate.
  12. Turkish MLG Rupert Lowe
  13. Well he is starting from a higher base than the other guy so after 4 years still would be better off.
  14. Since our free fall was arrested by victory in Sheffield I am not nervous, before I was mildly concerned. What I am worried about is how we will get ready for next year, because I would not like the start of next year to look like the second half of this season.
  15. I see that since the factless guy left journalism has not improved along the coast that article is almost unreadable. The first sentence starts with the word "And", now I know grammar is not by best subject (that's chemistry) but even I know that starting something with a word used to join 2 propositions where there is nothing before is frowned upon.
  16. The difference I saw was that he provided positivity, and that he had the ability (mostly) to do what he wanted. It was nice to see a players whose instinct was to advance into space with the ball rather than a) pass it backwards or b) give it to the opposition. If I was Redmond I would be nervous, and you could see when Redmond came on he was more positive in outlook than I have seen in a while. Although that might have been because SU are not that good.
  17. At what point do we say that Betrand is not able to the job we need in the Premier league though? He is bound to want more than a single year, so in five years should we still be paying top wages for him? Maybe next year he would still be the best option, but after that? At some point we need to cut our loses, we have plenty of players on the books who are not contributing. he is no longer able to do what a LB needs to do in a team that plays like us and relies on full backs to give the team width, which is pretty much every team in the league.
  18. Not enough motorized scooters, but total attendance looks about right.
  19. At the end of the season they only count points, not injuries, excuses or circumstances. As the run of bad form has continued I think it is normal to start thinking about what could be. Especially when the injury situation has deteriorated. However my worrying is not going to do anything all we can do is hope that those with direct input can make this work again. We do not need a lot from the rest of the season to be safe. But carrying such a bad second half of the season, will impact next season, such as moral, and who we can recruit over the summer. I suspect ambition is not in short supply among clubs we are competing for talent with, cash on the other hand might be in short supply from all this year.
  20. A Confidence player is not who I want to be relying on to end a slump in form. I first watched Redmond against us when he was with Norwich. The commentators bigged up his skill so I watched with Intrigue, only to see someone fail to really do anything much with the ball. But he was young and up and coming. Saw Norwich a couple more times that season and watched him flatter to deceive. So when we bought him, I was not exactly excited. A player who looks like they could do something but never really did. He carried on in the same vein initially, then hit a patch where he looked decent in a sea of mediocrity. Then has reverted to the mean in more recent times. With this record he is hardly the player to turn it around. Any pace he had will likely have been reduced by aging and injuries, so will not have that in his locker so I am just waiting for his inevitable replacement. My biggest problem with him is that while watching on my phone at work his shinny bald head was easily confused with Djenpo dyed white hair which made me excited to see him on the ball as he is the only one who seems to be able to make anything happen (before the opposition inevitably scythe him down knowing he is our only real creative threat) only to see the more zoomed in shot, realize it was Redmond after all, and watch him inevitably give it back to the opposition.
  21. I think a penalty would be fair for attempting to wrestle someone to the ground, failing falling over as a result of the attempt and then causing the player you initially fouled to go down in the penalty box. I would much rather this be an infraction than some of the other stupid stuff that has been rewarded with penalties.
  22. So how many more loses can we have before we can start to be nervous? Because I am told that we shouldn't worry want to know when I can start.
  23. Right now is showing where our academy has gone wrong, there are very few prospects coming through of a caliber necessary to succeed. In lean times for all, this could have been our advantage, but we squandered that a few years back. I do not know what they did but, if we had some decent up and comers to turn to this injury patch would not have become a crisis. If I was to fault RH, it might be on playing a style that has exacerbated the injury problem. Maybe we went too hard to quick, got an advantage early on and we are paying the price now. But that is beyond my pay grade to understand.
  24. What was the weird shoulder bumping thing both subs did with Redmond are they both telling him what they thought of him too?
  25. That should not be a penalty, if it is then the rules are wrong
