I love the thought that someone would come here to destress, I leave to destress.

Nothing is clear after 6 months. As for foretelling his future, prophesy is better left to prophets.

RIP fellow Blue.

Given their record to date I am inclined to believe they made an informed decision based on the best available current information rather than "how good he was 3 or 4 years ago".

This is your honest opinion of the professionalism of our club's decision makers ?.

Imo you have answered your own question : "he moves on the pitch freely - isn't attached to exact same position for the whole game." He can do that as a false 9 but it is defensively risky as a midfielder.

As usual didn't agree with all decisions but satisfied the match was officiated in a fair manner.

Ederson. Saved our skins while the engine was warming up.

"another player steps in and we don't miss a beat", this is exactly why Zinchenko has a huge haul of trophies, over 90 appearances and is regularly included in Pep's squad. If every replacement we have was "world class" they wouldn't be hanging around waiting for a chance to play. We have a top...

"Zinchenko is the weakest link in our side whenever he takes the field.". Imo your statement/opinion is incorrect and not fact based.

Some of the evidence that you seek is imo in yesterday's game. I watched it again and he spent a lot of time (more than usual ) drifting towards the centre of the field, even to right back at one stage. Maybe he was instructed to do this based on the selection. Without Rodri there were huge gaps...

Exactly, he didn't confirm Torres' exit nor mention any player coming in. Selling Torres is not his job so he couldn't confirm it. Buying a replacement is not his job so he cannot say we will or won't. There is a week and January for a change of mind and/or a reaction to changing circumstances...

Hmmmmm, I hope you don't charge for making judgements on strangers. So relieved to just be a pedant who seems casual at reading and misinterpreting your post, who is not slow as mollasses but made a stupid post and you guessed (unwisely) never heard the expression "figure of speech". As I said...

A good article about Rodri on Sky Sports website today. Warning: not suitable reading for Rodri sceptics still hiding in the woodwork.

I am not kidding myself, I would be very happy with Vlahovic, he averages a goal every second game for club and country, will be 22 on 28.1.2022, he is strong and skilful , what a promising player for our coaches to mould and polish. I'd be happy if Haaland came, or happy if Vlahovic came...

Looks like as of 1.1.2022 we are down 2 "forwards" who have PL experience. Also Delap is out for an unspecified period including regaining match fitness. Might we consider 1 attacker in January and 1 in the summer to replace Sergio and Torres. The Torres move has been swift, my guess is we have...

Nope ! he worked for 2 of Ireland's 3 mainstream newspapers, now freelance writing articles and radio and tv contributions. He did write a book, There's Only One Red Army, but it is about Sligo Rovers F.C. not Russia or other unmentionables. This is not an endorsement of his opinions, just the...

I wasn't having a go at you, twice I said I was intrigued, but you prefer to focus on how "easily saddened", I might be rather than address that. Being half Irish yourself, I suspect some of your relatives may understand my intrigue. Anyway Nollaig Shona Duit.

Post 232. "Or any other stupid reply to your stupid post you prefer? Have you ever heard the expression "figure of speech"? I am guessing not.". The late Stephen, reading that together with your above comments might suggest you might enlighten yourself by checking the meaning of "imply". I...
