And Rodri didn't play in our first champions league final. That statement proves nothing. Pep was desperate to keep him, he was integral to our 4th title in a row and any suggestions otherwise is simply letting the current version of walker cloud your memories. He's just been getting nominations...

It made sense at the time, he was still the best right back in the world, we don't get 4 in a row without him. I suspect the second year was the only way we kept him. The mistake was not getting his replacement in before it was desperately needed. If we had another fullback at the club, he...

Hahaha. Nah this has to be from the onion or something? Knighting somebody for failing twice with the greatest squad of players we've ever had? It is quite literally rewarding failure. There's a reason why no fucker wants to employ him.

Hope all the big guns go through, give them extra games. There's fuck all value in the trophy nowadays compared to what it takes to win it. Only value from it comes if you're winning trebles or quads. Newcastle should continue to go all out, this is there's for the taking if they want if. Would...

I'd take him for nothing, primarily to piss off the rags. Him scoring for us against them would be an all time iconic moment. He could be Peps Sterling replacement, shit technically but his athleticism would make him impactful and get him plenty of goals. Certainly not for it, but I can see...

This isn't football manager. Talks of us getting rid of half a dozen players at once this winter/summer 25 is wild and just not happening. Aside from anything else, who is going to buy them? Walker has a cushy 2 year contract until 2026, nobody is going to be interested in him and why would...

No kovacic is huge. That's a really poor team. On paper it looks like a side that could go and win 8-6, defensively we are fucked, if they arent scoring at least 3/4 against that lineup they all need sacking on the spot, the question is can we outscore them. The problem is we don't look like...

Not sure how anybody can be unhappy with villa losing. Great result for us, we're looking at top 4 threats, youve got us, dippers, arsenal and chelsea as probably the top 4 front runners and Villa are arguably the biggest contender to whoever is the shittest from that 4, likely us so got to be...

Sadly thats a very respectable point for the dippers given they played 80 minutes with 10 men. Would have been a great weekend of football so far if we wasn't even worse than those playing today. No amount of help is going to matter when we cant win a game of football ourselves. Fanastic day for...

There is no way that's deemed a sitter, the keeper is on top of him by the time he gets on the end of that pass, Haaland did what he could, it was the right call to try what he did it was simply fantastic goalkeeping that deserved praise. That was his 1 and only chance all game. If the plan is...

Wouldnt we have to actually create a chance or two first?

What size boots is he? He'd offer more of a goal threat now than most of our midfield. Kinky in this city side would be magical. imagine the 1v1 ability of Doku but with the technical elegance of Mahrez and a footballing brain.

Should be a pleasing thing to hear but it just leaves a lingering sour taste after the constant price hikes. Now we can all see just how Inconsequential that continued season ticket price hike was to the club. People who have been there their whole lives being being priced out bit by bit for...

It's horrible and it's upto the companies offering the platform to have better ways of identifying and punishing these scumbags. Personally I've always been of the opinion this kind of thing should be reported to the authorities and ignored and not publicised. I strongly suspect the majority...

Ederson Walker Dias Gvardiol Wilson-esbrand Kovacic Bernardo Nunes Kdb Doku Haaland If Akanji or stones are somehow fit then they obviously come straight in, ideally both of them would be in for jwe and Walker but doesn't seem likely.

I haven't said I've wanted anybody else to criticise? I've replied in a thread that's basically telling everybody not to be critical by saying criticism is perfectly justifiable.

Why doesn't 1 win in 10 warrant criticism? Newly promoted teams are sacking managers for that kind of form.

Ever heard of expectations? When we were shit, It wasn't unexpected to win 1 in 10, we've officially been the best in the business for the last 4 years running, expectations are rightly much higher. These performances more than warrant questions/frustration. There's been some awful...

10 years is a long time in football. They'll be massive changes long before then. The players will band together and demand less games soon enough. in a decades time they won't tolerate another mid-season winter world cup.

Gundo played reasonably well, only player who was capable of playing sharp balls through the lines. The few occasions we did anything that wasnt at walking pace, he was involved in it. He's being asked to do something he isn't physically capable of doing, there's no sense in blaming him for...
