Have you attended any of our games this season?

Season ticket holder. I hate this season. I’ve had enough.
But it doesnt change the fact I think that these kids have to be our future.

We survived playing shithouse football with shithouse players playing at their absolute peak. Its championship route one football. Yes it’ll score more EPL points than what what we’re trying to do. Their players will will stay while the goose is fat and they’re taking a good wage. The wheels will fa...

That does sound like a logistical nightmare tbf.

I think, personally, the only way we’ll ever see a review for a yellow is if they introduce sin bins - like rugby.

And that wont happen.

The club (an employee of the club) knew of Everton fans having tickets 30 mins before KO.
I was in the ticket office when a punter admitted it to a lass behind the counter. Her response was along the lines of ‘we’ll have to get them removed then’

The only time i think you’d have bother is if it was on the road with no road tax/MOT

Insurance, if on your drive is optional.

In my humble opinion. The chance of something happening in the 24hrs is slim. But done at your own risk/cost

Trafford is better with his hands than Muric. I dont see Muric making 10 saves yesterday.

Notsosuperstevedavis

The defender ran up to the keeper and batted the ball out of his hand. Why does the referee have to take all the blame? Couldn't the defender have in some way managed to avoid giving away a penalty, simply by not batting the ball out of the keeper's hand? We see this a lot from managers. Players do...

If the player intended to only touch the glove….

How is it NOT an accidental handball?

No point even discussing the refs decision to award handball.
The (reffing) world’d gone mad.

Notsosuperstevedavis

Its amazing what a win can do for the players and fans. Too confident? The fans maybe. But I want the players to have all the belief in the world at the min. Im sure we are capable of getting a positive result. But that might mean a murder has to be committed in stockley park. Wherever that is. Beca...

How no one can see that 12 months of preparing the squad to play the VK way and actually being 12 months older doesnt do better. This side when 12 months older and wiser does better in the prem than the side we’re viewing right now. Doesnt matter if you dont think O Shea gets better playing in Champ...

Alan Pace probably had a plan to survive as a business and to make money from his investment, which would have meant more conservative spending both last winter and this summer had we not looked likely to get promoted. How do we replace the loan players without PL money? Remember another significan...

Notsosuperstevedavis

Your entire point on the squad isn't how it works it assumes everything exists in some vacuum. On finances, ignoring how sick to death I am of "if you've not see the accounts how do you KNOW YOU CANT SAY THAT" as if the concept of inferring a best guess from available info isn't a thing, there's mo...

Notsosuperstevedavis

We finished the season with 101 frigging points, 10 clear of the next best (and we bought their best player) and another team in the league has effectively started this year with minus 10 points. There has never been a better time to have been promoted in recent history. I agree. Time wise its a fa...

Notsosuperstevedavis

As some of us constantly re-iterated last year to the point of tedium. VK always had to replace 7 to 8 of the last season's first team due to the loanees and the age of the likes of Cork, Barnes, Jay Rod and JBG. The fact that two of those are playing and a third would likely be featured if he was ...

Hasn’t this already been rebuffed numerous times though?

The documentary made it clear promotion was the target didn’t it

It Doesnt take a documentary to tell me replacing a whole squad in two windows is both problematic and financially more difficult.

Notsosuperstevedavis

We absolutely DID get promoted to early. The entire squad needing swapping. 1/3rd was going to be sold off 1/3rd was going to be too old 1/3rd was going to be not good enough. The plan was to replace the players sustainably so we didnt crash and burn. The first window was 16 players (5 loans) We int...

The owners have picked a path to progress. They picked VK, a better brand of football, attracting better players (that play the required style) who have far more saleable potential than we’ve ever had. We dont have the funding of an Oligarch or backed by a saudi national fund. We have to make our ow...

Notsosuperstevedavis

I know this season is hurting, and its in stark contrast to last season, but I’d like you all to consider the following before even considering if VK should stay in position: We went up a season earlier than expected We’ve had to replace more players than desired or designed to as a result of said p...

Notsosuperstevedavis

Last season was a slow burn, with the turnover of players and the step up we’d be foolish to think it wouldnt be similar.

Out of the teams in our mini division;

Forest, Luton we’ve played 2, (both away) and got 4 points.

Lads this team will grow. As will our manager. Give it time to grow.

Yes,the next run of fixtures will be so much easier,all those teams will be letting us beat them easily because they've got nothing to play for.

Is this a rational, thought out response?
Just asking for a friend.

Ive used a ‘go compare’ type site called ‘shiply’

They contact all sorts of shipping companies and they come to you with prices.

It was very handy when I used them. They emailed me just this week to say they can do removals at sometimes 75% off what actual removal firms would charge

Notsosuperstevedavis

Im certainly no PC ‘expert’ - but could you have dislodged/damaged your connectivity card/attachment?
Im assuming your using a tower PC rather than a laptop there?

If im correct in the assumption of a tower, maybe open it up take out the card - and re attach?

He WAS a left back at our level, but we got promoted from the Championship to the EPL... Perhaps you missed that?

Why you quibbling over a couple of inches on a transfer thread.

Anyone would think you were getting precious over a couple of inches!!

Notsosuperstevedavis

We got promoted faster than expected We now have had to accelerate the process of replacing the loanees.

As we all Know, VAR just gives the big club two chances to get the decision they want. The reffing is worse as a result too. In the brentford b Spurs game at the weekend the ref literally ran away from making a decision, knowing full well if he’d ‘missed’ something - VAR would bail him out. I used t...

Notsosuperstevedavis

There will come a point when we have to think business first, club second. Selling players for fee’s and not letting them leave for nothing is the only way to continually improve the players around the first XI. Feelings about the player(s) must be put to one side. Its no co-incidence that our argua...

I have 2 infront of me. One’s an old man than shakes his head in disapproval when I attempt to join in chants.

I could have also mentioned:

And seemingly ANY goal Benny and Zaroury scored this season cutting in.

We have been spoilt this season gone.

Just anything with a piece of brilliance attached to it. Burnley ones that come to memory first were Steven Defour’s turn and run v Hull at Turf Robbie Blakes thunderous volley v Utd. Steven Defour’s scooped lob in the cup. Theres hundreds more. But these pieces of brilliance make a goal beautifully...

In what way? Just transfers I'm on about.

Compare the Dale Stephens transfer window with the last one.

Have a think.

Then come back to this thread.

Notsosuperstevedavis

Guesswork. No facts.

Hayley Mcqueen?

Notsosuperstevedavis

Im hopeful we’ll be stronger too, and we’ll hopefully get 12 more months out of these players before we sell any off.

On the keeping Tarks one. We kept him and got relegated anyway. So keeping him gained nothing. While selling him would have gained something.

Notsosuperstevedavis

Had completely forgotten about the sell-on clause. Yes, that even further distorts the economic case. Holding on to him was the right thing to do. Was it Wet Spam that was offering approx 40m? I think, and this is where people may differ, that giving Brentford 27.5% of circa 40m and replacing him w...

Notsosuperstevedavis

Not selling Tarks was an out and out ‘crime’. With hindsight the money had to be re-invested into the ageing squad, that fell off a cliff. Saying ‘dont sell your best players’ is not the right strategy. If we sell for profit, in theory, it should all be progression. Even if that involves selling a f...

How you can spend £500 (Montreal) and and a further £150 on hotels when you’ve had a tent on your back the entire journey is a failure I dont think I’ll ever understand.

Unless there were laws preventing them from doing so. But Im not privvy to that

Dyche never took them seriously and neither did the press because they knew nothing much had changed from the previous game (team sheet, tactics). They just turned in a way for him to make a really dry joke that may or may not get him some publicity and when you're threatened with relegation it's n...

It’s entirely hypothetical, of course, as it will never happen, but I suspect if VK stayed on for 10 years, we’d become tired and bored with the language he uses in press conferences etc, too. I accept that this will be a slightly skewed point, but I wonder if the Man City fans are getting ‘bored’ ...

He worked miracles. No doubt. I blame the previous owners for not giving him money to spend. It was ‘smart price’ football on a ‘smartprice’ budget - while, what seemed to me, MG fattened the clubs bank account to subsequently line his own pockets. Some people tolerated the the brand of football, wh...
