If he had the productivity and impact of a ‘luxury player’, I wouldn’t mind so much. Not quite David Ginola or Dimitar Berbatov, is he?

What if we got a really shit 6 and another injury prone 8/10, would the difference give us a 4 or a 2 on average? Would we still need another fucking 6 or what? 🤣

Ah right, thanks. 😆

My kingdom for a box-to-box CDM…

That looks amazing, what’s it coated in? Is it onions? Pardon my rapidly failing short range vision.

This is essentially what I was alluding to, regarding the necessity of a ‘lieutenant’ on-field - I don’t personally understand the concept of a shared leadership on-field, which has been mentioned a few times. Such a system does not work, at all. The burning question for me, directed at those...

Has modern football ‘evolved’ beyond a team captain/leader? I disagree that such a role can be shared amongst many players, as the advice and guidance may vary, instructions will also vary if one or more decides they know best and undermines the collective objective. It does happen in a team...

We had a very competitive and effective squad in 97/98 and 99/00. The latter was a damp quib of a season, obviously, as our away record crippled that season. Personally, I think the 97/98 team was better, as we finished 11th in the PL and knocked the Villa out of the QF’s of the FA Cup. We had...

More of a Normann, but it still counts.

My favourite Keane goal was the one against Arsenal at HR, the 3-2 win. The way he flicked/directed it past Seaman from such an angle (with his right foot) was just incredible.

Think it was 14, but anyway, our home form was indeed outstanding that season. Our best squad for years, and Strachan contrived to finish lower than mid table. 🤷‍♂️

I had a look at their local online newspaper, and although it’s littered with typos (weirdly) i managed to deduce that he suffered a broken fibula and had ankle syndemosis, which would suggest the tackle was centered right near the ankle itself. Not in the same league as Busst’s injury, but I’m...

That was a truly horrific tackle. Had to zoom in to see it properly, but that’s a leg-breaker, I’m sure. The way the players and physio reacted was telling; they called for the medics straight away.

Shhhh, the lines are tapped, Mr President.

I think we’re missing Dennis Lawrence more. The defence has been poor since he left.

Nilsson, all day long. Positioning, vision, strength, marking, tackling, passing, overlapping…the best RB we’ve had, just so slick and effortless in his play. Accomplished is the word I’m looking for. Borrows was a great servant, but I’m glad to have seen Nilsson in Sky Blue. Always thought he...

Hopeful/unexpected 3-2 win, with a team of youngsters. PUSB. ⚽️

Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere, however I’m too lazy to delve into pages of threads; was Allen captain yesterday?

It’s a word association game. 👍🏻

Didn’t have you down as the type to dance in the dark?
