Harry_SFC Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Wednesday down to 10 men, Bannan sent off. Can't see them holding out now.
Harry_SFC Posted August 10 Posted August 10 I don't think any of the 3 relegated sides have been great this weekend but we've all scored goals in the last 5 minutes. The best teams find a way. 1

The best teams find a way. Am I missing something with Leicester, they found the money to part ways with RVN and haven't really lost their best players? When did we last finish above them in the league?
Give it to Ron Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Fatawu was a real handful same as against us Sulemana with an end product
Sheaf Saint Posted August 10 Posted August 10 2/1 on Leicester at HT was like a licence to print money.
Ex Lion Tamer Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Leicester, Sheff Utd, West Brom, Coventry and Middlesbrough have all made highly risky, if not outright foolish, managerial choices. It can only play in our favour.

I agree with you, and yet you would expect all 3 sides to be there or there abouts at the end of the season with minimal trouble. 1

When you think that the lowest premier league team received £110m in broadcasting rights last year and the first year parachute payment is 55% (ie approx £60m), that's money that teams like Oxford can only dream of. Appreciate Luton have shown parachute payments aren't a guarantee to being there or there abouts, but that gap is getting wider every year. 1

Leicester - Cifuentes did ok with QPR but it wasn't hard to improve on the performances under Ainsworth. He's not at the level Leicester should be looking for. Shef Utd - got rid of one of their best managers who had them overperforming. Selles pretty unremarkable track record. West Brom - Mason is unproven. Could be great, could be terrible. Coventry - ok I forgot Lampard got them to the playoffs last season. Still think he's living off his reputation as a player a bit and benefiting from the work Mark Robins did at the club. He had resources at Derby and should have done better I think. He's probably solid at this level but certainly nothing to fear. Middlesbrough - Rob Edwards was relegated twice with Luton and sacked by Watford. Edited August 11 by Ex Lion Tamer 3

Smirking_Saint Posted August 12 Posted August 12 What is it with Leicester, just lost their keeper and Ndidi and apparently offers are in for El Khannous, Fatuwu and Winks Not seen them linked with much either Are they skint or just absolutely bollocksed by PSR ?

They still need to make at least 1 big sale this window to bring themselves back inline with PSR in 'this' financial year, which will then allow them some flexibility in the market. Without 1 or 2 more 'big' sales, they can't move. Everton won't pay what they want for Fatuwu, so it will probably be El Khannous who leaves as he has a fixed release clause - under £30m I believe. 1
LuckyNumber7 Posted August 12 Posted August 12 Just noticed Mislav Orsic got a goal and an assist for Pafos in their Champions League qualifier tonight.
SNSUN Posted August 13 Posted August 13 PSG, with one of Europe's best squads, so far have been schooled by Chelsea in the CWC and now Spurs in the Super Cup thus far. Premier League, greatest League in the world innit.
AlexLaw76 Posted August 13 Author Posted August 13 Watching Birmingham... They attack at speed...and in numbers I can see why they could well be right up there at the end of the season, as most Championship clubs won't stop them from scoring

Harry_SFC Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Leicester and Ipswich both out to lower league opposition 🥳
AlexLaw76 Posted August 13 Author Posted August 13 What is it with players doing a wanky, stuttery, stupid run up when taking a penalty?
SNSUN Posted August 13 Posted August 13 (edited) Seriously, if Spurs want to drop the Spursy tag, they really need to stop being Spursy. Edited August 13 by SNSUN 1

After they were banned from stopping and starting during the run up so they have to keep moving some how , doesn't work if you miss the actual goal after the keeper has dived though 😄

Tiss and Lambo had the right idea, pick your spot, put your foot through the ball and no keeper saves it.
Saint NL Posted August 15 Posted August 15 (edited) 14 mins into the new PL season before VaR messes up. A new record, surely https://x.com/AmorimEra_/status/1956434838564565391 Edited August 15 by Saint NL

whelk Posted August 15 Posted August 15 Surely the game should now be abandoned after a racist comment from the crowd?

aintforever Posted August 15 Posted August 15 4 minutes ago, benjii said: It would have been a penalty? No it was miles from the goal, VAR didn’t intervene because they didn’t think it was a red card offence.

aintforever Posted August 15 Posted August 15 19 minutes ago, Saint NL said: It was deliberate as can be 😂 Think as it was so far from goal they didn’t see it as denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity, just a possible goal scoring opportunity.

AlexLaw76 Posted August 15 Author Posted August 15 I would not have been a Liverpool fan racially abusing a player. They are the most specially special fans, who never walk alone. 1

Colinjb Posted August 15 Posted August 15 (edited) Seeing Brooks play so well here makes me wish he had any other manager then Martin to work under while here. Let him run into space! Edited August 15 by Colinjb 1
Whitey Grandad Posted August 15 Posted August 15 I'm on Virgin Media and the picture is breaking up and unwatchable. Technology really is rubbish.

Scouse not English don’t forget. “Calm down, calm down …” Or perhaps they’re tourist fans.

AlexLaw76 Posted August 15 Author Posted August 15 What a goal. Thought he was being a bit selfish there

Whitey Grandad Posted August 15 Posted August 15 A brilliant break away equaliser by Semenyo. I wish I could have seen it.
