Russia done well so far. The Japs have looked nervous from the kick off. 40 point spread was good to be on the under side but think the Japs will take the game away now and win by 30 or so

Hibsclaret

Fair assessment.

I’m sure most of the other prem teams previews are not as succinct or unbiased. Good luck to them after Saturday

I prefer football at 3pm full stop. We are never going to be on TV much more than 10 times in a season and therefore i'd prefer it if we were on as few a times as possible. 8pm last season at Chelsea, that was fun wasnt it. It was. I enjoyed it immensely even with the ball boy view I had on the fir...

Being in the same division.

Hibsclaret

Maybe we still see our football club as a football club first? When we get to the business taking over the football balance, which I don't think we're quite at yet. I will stop attending. Just as well we are not as successful as Liverpool or Man City because their games get moved every other weeken...

I go to most away games. This is why I love this message board.

I’d rather we had a business with the largest possible income. Just one extra game would pay a players salary but let’s not get in the way of good old fashioned structure...

The game has changed and you have to move with it or go backwards

Hibsclaret

As usual you have to have a pop. Were you at Brighton last week or Istanbul or the Orient game...etc

Can you post without insulting people?

Hibsclaret

Not sure how it can be good news when we are running a business dependent upon income where we get added cash for being on tv more than 10 times...but you know best. I wonder if Mike Garlick shares the good news view?

Hibsclaret

Agreed. Was hoping he’d do well. He will have learnt a lot from the great ginger one... if he does well he could be the man to take over in about 20 years hopefully

Hibsclaret

We beat Spurs last time we played them...and should have beaten Olympiakos last time we played them....

Hibsclaret

You would think they had gone low enough with their hillsborough stuff. When you’re in a hole keep on digging seems to be the mantra for that paper.

Hibsclaret

Pieters doesn't offer anything going forward? I think he's the perfect fit for us. He can whip in a decent cross from deep (almost resulted in a goal for us at Brighton). Anyone remember his cross to Barnes against Southampton? Taylor offers something different but his play is suited better when we...

There’s far too many trolls on here for that to happen....

Hibsclaret

Not sure why we have to have such vitriol for one of our recent players that added to our success. The money argument is always mentioned but: He was a millionaire before he met us The decision to join Burnley would most likely be football based Pretty sure he didn’t want the unfortunate injuries he...

Hibsclaret

Not sure why our media employ anyone as Aussie biased as McGrath tbh. Just the usual be controversial and predict an Aussie whitewash every time they come here. There’s never any substance in anything that he spouts. Warner is alright tbh and it tends to be obvious banter when he’s being pro Aussie,...

Hibsclaret

most people on here know you are a bit of a weirdo Fixed it for you. I was comparing this years defence to last saying that nothing needs changing in response to the OP and the usual snipers come in like you and Salou. I’ll leave it to Dyche to decide when he wants to change a defence that is worki...

Classic UTC thread about Everton....we are now comparing Callum Wilson with all and sundry (nobody from Everton). How about sticking to the topic?

Really

Hibsclaret

Since most teams set up against us to deal with the long ball to the front two, then maybe we ought to be mixing it up a bit by playing the likes of Vyagra and JayRod. As it's not what the opposition have trained for, could take a few by surprise. We’ve never had such stiff competition for places.....

Not going to lie, I can't be arsed. I eagerly await Taylor getting back in the team and your breakdown that inevitably follows. Sounds like you have an exciting life. Have you tried getting a girlfriend? If Dyche brings Taylor back then that’s fine by me. He is a better player than this time last s...

...and yet your dislike for him continued throughout the full season and in to this one. Really....where’s your evidence? During our run from Jan onwards he had improved to be good enough and my ratings said so. Find the evidence to back up what you are saying... I trust in our great manager who ha...

Hibsclaret

You mean like last season when you were championing Ward to play instead of Taylor every other day? Not exactly. After 5 games 18/19. Scored 3 conceded 10 19/20. Scored 6 conceded 7 I’d say it was nothing like last season. When you factor in we have played 2 of the big 6 rather than just a poor Man...

Hibsclaret

His strike today and the one at Chelsea last season show that when he connects it can be pretty much perfect. You will not see a cleaner strike than those all season. Great stuff from someone on the fringes and really pushing for a start now.

Hibsclaret

We have been fine all season defensively. Excellent against Southampton, Arsenal and Wolves. Not bad against Liverpool and Brighton. We have made a few individual errors such as Mee against Liverpool and Pieters against Wolves etc but there is absolutely no need to have threads every week suggesting...

Hibsclaret

Taylor is simply better than him. Sean clearly agrees. Why is he not even on the bench? When you are out of the team you need to knuckle down like Hendrick. If he can’t get on the bench does this suggest he his not trying hard enough to get back. The stats don’t back up that he’s a better player at...

Hibsclaret

Not limited to one assist a season though, so not that limited

Hibsclaret

It’s a confidence issue with strikers. If Wood scores that chance at Wolves where he is a bit unlucky and also the early one against Liverpool you can get a different player. I don’t think it helped trotting him out in front of the media pre game tbh. He was asked about his offsides, not scoring etc...

Hibsclaret

I said they’d struggle at the start of the season.

All the usual pundits were spouting them getting in the top 6.....not sure what they get paid for tbh.

As for the ones on here that don’t accept how we were affected last season....

Hibsclaret

Keep dreaming...

Hibsclaret

Should be a good game against this lot next week.

We are definitely a very different challenge than Man City and I reckon we can nick it tbh.

They’d rather not tell the ref to change his decision than get the ref to check for himself and then change or maintain the decision. I’m sure the guy making the decision would be more inclined to get the decision correct if he looked at the video because only he will be best placed to know exactly ...

Not sure why you have to post 6 times..... Shearer had his Newcastle specs on...and the other ex pro on MOTD said it was a definite pen along with ex Arsenal Alan Smith in commentary on Sky. The defender never got anywhere near the ball and took Kane out head first. As mentioned above if it was his ...

Hibsclaret

Kane in my opinion might have been clever and leant into the challenge, so I can’t see why it would be overturned, more a case of going with the ref who made the original decision. Some decisions will often split opinions and I think this is a case in point. Unless there is total agreement, no deci...

Hibsclaret

So basically it’s more than 4 then....

Kane pen is one that should definitely have been overturned for a start

Hibsclaret

There’s only been 40 games so far so basically 1 error in every 10 games. It would be good if they could name the incidents but if one of them wasn’t the Kane penalty that should have been given against Newcastle they still have a long way to go.... Also given that these are the ones they are admitt...
