...I get the annoyance over missing out on transfers but there has to be an element of realism.

Hello... Look around... This is the UptheClarets Forum you're on - When has an element of realism ever risked venturing into here?

Aye your right...it will be Rodriguez, that Obafemi never looks fit...

Are you suggesting that Jay-Rod does look fit... his legs have been gone for the last two seasons.

I've been thinking similar; the vitriol on here would have been epic if it had been James Trafford making those mistakes.

Ally Mcoist was a good striker but talks absolute bxxxxxxs on the commentary ditto Alan Smith the ex Gooner.

These things are always relative/comparative, so all the while Chris Sutton is working as a pundit, the rest, even Mrs Merton, will appear competent.

Conversely, having watched the film clip of the goal that she conceded, JB's tweet does look to be 'fair comment'; that was a pee-poor bit of goalkeeping.

The talk on X is that Forest get 4-6 points and Everton get 2 based on double jeopardy rules. So Everton's FFP breach penalty will be set lower because they've incurred one before; on that basis Everton can presumably now spend what they like as their next breach would incur a 0 points deduction an...

How could he possibly consider including Fofana in the team of the week; yes, he scored and was creative, but Fofana also missed two absolute sitter's.
