    It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

    Most of us wouldn’t want to see that . . and if you want to meet those who would then there are web forums better placed than this one to make contact with ‘em ;-)

    It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

    I know that ignorance is no defence in a court of law but I honestly didn’t know there was a law against changing your mind? Looks like I’m in trouble. Told the missus I was going to have fish & chips for tea, I meant it at the time, but did a last minute swerve into the Chinese because I had a...

    TV Series

    Haha we’re all different eh? IMO 1 & 3 we’re the best of them, followed by 3 then 4. I actually thought 4 was very good but that it looked less accomplished than it would have otherwise because it pales somewhat due to being set against in the absolute brilliance of the others. Not shite...

    Mateo Kovacic

    I appreciate the insight, and stats are stats of course, but I don’t think it’s quite that simple. Take Gundogan for example, in many games his main role is to break up opposition possession, keep our possession, recirculate etc. But sometimes Pep plays him in a more aggressive role that puts...

    Kyle Walker

    IMO even Usain Bolt would struggle to keep up with Brazil chasing a pork pie ;-)

    Community Shield - Arsenal (N) | Sun 6th Aug - 16:00

    Ask them how many Wembley tickets their supporters have purchased in the last decade compared to ours eh? We could boycott Wembley for the next 10 years without their sales getting anywhere near ours over the two decades.

    North Stand Expansion

    I didn’t say that you were wrong IMB, didn’t even intimate it. I think there’s a good basis for what you presume the outcome will be and in fact I said that if I had to guess then I’d guess the same. My point was that we’re both guessers and that nobody will be ‘crushed’ by anyone’s guessing...

    North Stand Expansion

    I don’t recon that you’ve crushed anyone’s hopes IMB. As you very honestly mentioned, it‘s how you ‘think’ it will play out, and nobody gets crushed by a guess because they ain’t that heavy. Your guess might prove to be absolutely accurate (if I had to guess it would be my guess too) but, if...

    It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

    IMO Sane was brilliant, fast direct etc. but only for 1 game in any 4. We mostly loved him for those wonderful sparkling moments, they showcased his potential, spoke loud of what might be but they were all the more vivid for the overbearing stretches of meh in between them. In the other 3 out of...

    It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

    IMO both yes and no . . Though 99% yes. I agree with everything you say except the suggestion that Stones & Akanji can do what Walker can do. Yes, Pep has played both Stones and Akanji at RB but never to do the job that Walker did. They’re both better than Walker at stepping into midfield in...

    Arda Guler

    Yeah mate. Wooo . . . that spin made me a bit wobbly. Not good with sudden deviations at my age. And here’s a question for you. Please take it as an attempt to help. Do you think that it might be possible that the stuff that you sometimes write seems ok in your head but that you don’t truly...

    Arda Guler

    Simplistic? Ah, sorry for being as you put it “overly simplistic”, by putting forward the thought that being Turkish doesn’t mean that a footballer’s doomed to never be good enough for top flight footie in England. Having considered your cutting and revealing remarks about my use of Gundogan...

    Arda Guler

    Cheers fella, thanks for reinforcing the point. I was actually responding to a poster, who said that Turkish players don’t adapt to the PL, by pointing that that Ilkay is, in effect, a Turkish lad with a German passport. Indeed, he very recently spoke very eloquently in interview about how he...

    iirc Gundogun has a German passport virtue of being born in Germany but both his parents were Turkish (a lot of Turkish workers in Germany) and he was raised to be Turkish culturally. Didn’t stop him from adapting to the PL though.

    TV Series

    I thought it was great - really funny and had an offbeat kinda original-ish approach. I found it so good that I rationing myself to 2 episodes a night so that I didn’t rip through the series too soon. Then the scriptwriters sadly ran out of ideas after episode 6. I watched / endured all of...

    Rubén’s header

    They practice it in training. Close header low and hard, Eddie makes the knee save and Ruben does the flick header . . Time after time after time until eventually Pep thinks they’ve got it polished enough ;-)

    Champions League Final | Inter (N) - Sat 10th June 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

    Given the choice of Mahrez or Foden in our squad I’d go For Foden myself because of his age and the length of time we’d get out of him, obviously. Given the choice of who I’d play in a Champions League final today and (all things being equal / players being played on technical merit rather than...

    Todd’s not there, so don’t worry about him being sat upon, he “**** come” apparently.

    Champions League Final | Inter (N) - Sat 10th June 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

    Please don’t hurry it along - I’m trying to relish and properly appreciate the anticipation and palpable excitement of the build-up. IMO Days like today are rare fare. We need to submerge ourselves, bathe in them, drink them in, soak them into every pore, live every nano-second like it’s a...

    Champions League Final | Inter (N) - Sat 10th June 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

    Hahaha I love a good wind up - cheers mate. I think what you mean is that Foden is brilliant for his age, has huge potential and that you’re more excited by Foden because he’s a young blue who’s come through the ranks (quite understandable you should feel that way on an emotional level). But...
