Good to see Barkley seems to be playing well again. And Osho - well, he just makes you want to throttle someone. Is Arteta capable of reversing his decision re the ‘keeper? Ramsdale had his brain fart moments but he’s a better bet than Raya who is becoming a bit of a liability. It was an odd decisi...
Add Martial to that list. Application is so poor When you add the likes of Sancho and Pogba to that list, it’s not entirely surprising United have been poor for a while now. They did OK last season but still a fair distance away from the big boys and they won’t ever catch up with the likes of Rashf...
The “next round” lol…it could’ve been Walsall, Port Vale or anyone….as it would’ve been, Barnet or Newport…. Nice Yeah, so that's £67k, plus gate receipts, plus good chance of £100k prize money and then more gate receipts. The team was just starting to rebuild some confidence after a dreadful perio...
Holmes seemed far more determined to get his head on the ball when he was being headlocked and dragged to the ground in the opposition box than he did on a basic corner routine in our own box in the 94th min. Guess always been my frustration with him that he seems to get beaten like that too often ...
Rashford is becoming a joke of a player. Bags of talent - pathetic mentality. I’d go so far as to say he’s a disgrace. Add Martial to that list. Application is so poor When you add the likes of Sancho and Pogba to that list, it’s not entirely surprising United have been poor for a while now. They d...
Maguire critics gone quiet in recent weeks. Almost like he wasn’t as bad as the media (and others) liked to portray
Sure, he has limitations and will likely come unstuck against the top teams but he’s still a decent defender, the witch hunt against him was embarrassing
Let’s be honest you don’t come through an academy like inter Milan's and play regularly for their b team unless there is some sort of raw talent there. Of course raw talent is only one of a number of metrics that a player needs to be a successful footballer. We all know that. But for whatever reaso...
Do other teams consistently do this inverted winger thing? Could understand it with Meite when he was good as he played the role to perfection. But he was crap at it last year, Azeez isn’t great at it now either Azeez has a decent cross on him, why take that out of his game? Put Azeez left and play...
Very small defence of Selles but this “mental fragility” has been evident for years now. Go through every season and it’s the same pattern. Good set of results, one poor result and we collapse The 2 goal lead we threw away under Clarke at Fulham threw that season. The 2 late goals against Cardiff u...
8 goals conceded in the 90th minute in the last 8 games. Quite possibly could have been 9 if Bristol had been awarded their deserved penalty on Tuesday Team are mentally shot, desperately needs a new direction because it’s not going to happen under Selles We’re mentally the frailest team I’ve ever ...
Great game this Chelsea v City. Haaland’s assist from his own cock. Indeed. Mentioned before that I’m really not a fan of watching City but those 10-15% of games where teams (successfully) take them on and don’t sit deep produce excellent spectacles (similar to the 3-3 draw at Newcastle last season...

Just like under Ince, Gomes, Paunovic and co, we have a defence that can’t keep a clean sheet, a blunt attack and very average midfielders with no real identity who offer little. It’s not a recipe for success.
Thoughts and prayers with RR, Orion and Hound at this most difficult of times for them. :P I remember the constant comparisons to Eze. One has become an established Prem player in and around the England squad and the other can’t get into the 24th place side in L1. Speaks volumes Always thought he f...
His selections have been very scattergun. Camara the latest to appear then disappear. Definitely some favourites there (Savage, Azeez) who haven’t necessarily earnt tbe appearances they’ve had (like both of them but they’ve been up and down) whilst the likes of Rushesha seem to never get the chance...
Agree with playing 3 CM’s. If we start the game as badly as we did against Fleetwood we’ll get massacred by Pompey. I also disagree with Hound that 4-2-2-2 is just the same as 4-2-3-1. The latter gives more width and protection to fullbacks, relies on the fullbacks less. Agree 3 in midfield is the ...
And City have played 5 out of 9 games against teams in the bottom half of the league, and lost to one of them. And they are 2nd. People seem desperate to discredit Spurs Spurs' squad doesn't have the depth of City, Arsenal and Liverpool. But they also have no European football - they basically play...
They are certainly playing with a lot more passion and freedom. You would seriously worry about them though if either Maddison or Son were out for any length of time, light squad. Yep, the squad depth isn't good enough by any stretch, except for maybe in midfield. Spurs won't be winning the title, ...
