OK, I'll say it, it's time to bring back a false 9. In short, Haaland might as well be the invisible man. He's so static, he marks himself. You could almost justify his selection as a target man, if we went long, or crossed at every opportunity, but we don't. Arsenal won that game today...

This fella at Fulham is the almost a hybrid of Fernandinho and Rodri. He's levels above Kalvin Phillips and he'd be my preference as our DM option for next !

I am unable to attend any of the following games and would like to let a fellow supporter access all 4 of these games for my Season Ticket face value! All 4 tickets will cost a total of £75 which is £18.75 each. Seat is dead central in SS3 and is an aisle seat. Games times are confirmed as...

I was going to put this in the Liverpool thread but it would be lost after a couple of pages and it needs discussing because I'm sick to death of hearing this media claim that is currently the biggest myth in football. "Alisson Becker, the best goalkeeper in the world" I'm not just jumping on...

Just when was this last the case?

Hi all, due to various reasons I am unable to attend the final 6 league games of Arsenal, Burnley, Liverpool, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Norwich. I am therefore selling my Seasoncard for those 6 games as a job lot for £120. Seat is dead central South Stand 3. Payment by bank transfer and card...

Just seen there are a series of minor rule changes for the coming season. https://news.sky.com/story/new-season-new-rules-in-the-premier-league-11468196 What caught my eye was the future use of VAR and how they are confidently predicting how many times it will be used in cup competitions...

Hoping for a little help here. I am certain I remember a game from maybe 20 years or so ago that was televised (highlights) and the Referee blew for full time and after he had reached the tunnel had realised he'd blown too early. The result was that everyone went back onto the pitch and played...

Interesting how you learn only when things are going wrong, however could tonight's substitution of Mangala with Fernandinho opened up the long term possibility of him playing with Otamendi as our centre half pair during Kompany's absence? We've seen years of Mascherano manage to play the role...

OK, I know I am going to get Pelters from some, but I'm convinced that the loss of Nasri for what will be most of the season will be the factor that costs us most! Without him we fail to retain possession as effectively, but moreover we have nobody willing to play and then move into the box to...

It's that time of year when the transfer window is open, players are supposedly available, teams know what the season offers or potentially threatens with the right or wrong changes, whether they be player, managerial, tactical or collective attitude. I like others glance at the transfer...

I am the executor of a will that falls under the terms of the Small Estates Act, which in short allows the me to complete all post death administration of the estate (probably around £4,000 which will barely pay for the cremation) due to its limited value. As there is no property, shares or...

Do you recall when we were sold this guff about how Pellegrini would get our team to play? Sounded great didn't it, however we are yet to see it! For those of us (That's all of us) who are yet to see it, ensure you watch MOTD this evening to see Chelsea demonstrate it. Mr Pellegrini Sir, you...

To think we let Lescott leave for nothing and paid £32M for Mangala. Is Fernando really a better footballer than Garcia? Is Caballero really better than Pantilimon? And Sagna, he appears worse in every department than Micah Richards. Then we let Negredo go and persist with 3 strikers whilst...

It makes me laugh when I see the names that get churned up on this thread. Do people not remember the master plan of only having 6 Galactico World Level performers (Aguero/Silva) with the rest being past masters/steady eddies (MDM/Fernandinho) or yet to be masters/acadamy graduates...

Sure there was a similar thread some time back, however try as I might I cannot find it so Mods feel free to merge and bump if it can be found. Anyway, today is my 10th visit to Wembley to watch City. The last 7 have come thick and fast with the previous 3 being the 81 Cup Replay, 85 Full...

The Liverpool prices have left most on here a little speechless and it got me thinking and, I reckon it can't be longer that another 3 years before some of our open sale tickets are breaking £100. Deary Me!

This cake thing got me thinking what is the most pathetic excuse used in football to justify a situation? Here's a couple of the top of my head. 1. United players couldn't see each other whilst wearing grey shirts and subsequently were walloped at Southampton. 2. Balotelli was allergic to...

Suarez! So much for Yaya being rewarded.

Well I for one am glad that those within the Marketing/Ticketing departments have clearly come to their senses with regard to the Final 5 Bundle concept. In short they are either that busy with other ideas and have completely forgotten about this flawed money grabbing and divisive idea or, as I...
