Read this week that Tresor has been ill, not injured.

If he has had the respiratory virus that is rife, certainly here in the midlands, which I an just recovering from, then it could be 4 or 5 weeks before he recovers. It is a NASTY one.

Sorry my bad. Definitely shouldn't make jokes about our plight or that some refs in this league have an agenda.

I will do better next time.

Oops, sorry, I didn't get your joke! Wasn't a good one though

Don't see us causing Arsenal much of a problem. That's the spirit. We could have come away from Anfield last Saturday with a point if Fofana or Odebert had taken their opportunities! Even in football Arsenal's win at West Ham comes with the "Past performance does not guarantee future success" warning

Strange how the 'impartial' media rate Trafford as either our best or 2nd best player today. For the 1st goal he was blocked out of it by O'Shea, if he hadn't come he would have been just as roundly criticised on here. Just watched the Sky highlights video and they don't blame Trafford at all. Wasn'...

Maybe we should pitch in to buy him in the summer just to pee the Fiddlers off! Sounds like a decent prospect anyway for around £5 million including add-ons

No mentions for 'Whoosh' for best left-back?

Couldn’t believe the after game celebrations from Arsenal - you’d have thought they’d won the league. Really look forward to their usual fall from the top of the table.

Hopefully starting when they play us!

Our success last season shocked everyone, probably including Pace and Kompany. Teams rebuilt to such an extent are NOT supposed to gel as quickly as they did! So, of course, we tried to do the same thing again, an almost complete rebuild, except, this time, the results are what the norm is in footba...

a good 2-1 win against the top of the league Top of the league mainly because they have played more games than anyone - we could go above them should we win all our SEVEN games in hand!

He's the same as Barnes was, an annoying little shithouser to opponents. Neither could ever be described as great footballers but they do a job and they do it to a decent standard. Every team needs them!

Better players than Darko, Zeki or Mike have struggled to adapt to the PL or Championship over the years. And I believe the standard, both in terms of quality and physicality is much higher now than it has ever been!

No it doesn’t, under contract so they pay his wages. No, the club take out insurance. Insurance will pay his, and all the other long term injured wages. I'm sure it costs the club a hefty chunk of cash to pay for the insurance, and after the number of injuries across the PL this season I'm sure it ...

I think Burnley as a whole isn't far from being an economically deprived area, apart from a few areas, especially when compared to rest of England. Many post-industrial towns have struggled against the loss of reasonably paid, and well paid, jobs to the large metropolitan areas such as Manchester/Sa...

I did the Spurs stadium tour recently and they change theirs every year - although not sure why such regular changes are necessary either. Spurs' pitch is a different sort of situation to everyone else. It is laid in boxes so that it can be 'put away' for events. Almost certainly, that is why they ...

"What we can't do is something ludicrous. We have to do something with a really clear purpose."

Southbound, and earlier in the day. I would be leaving Solihull at 4 on a Monday for a 7.45 kick-off and expect to have time for a brew and sarnie/chips before the game! Friday I would leave before 3 for the same experience

One worldy away from a draw. Problem is, that was a Spurs reserve team. We're still not premier league yet, only a top championship team. Some amazing work to be done this transfer window if we're to stay up. That is the Spurs team without their stars. Although they are away on National duty it cou...

I thought we did decently that half. No great shapes but the 2 best chances were both created by us! (For us, instead of the Wolves type error). The pitch is undoubtedly greasy and very slippy not helping players stay on their feet

looked like the wing and, possibly the engine sliced through the coastguard plane which may have thought it was off the runway. But the A350 has a massive wingspan that is wider than the runway!

That’s true but I’d wager the outcome if you had a poor man & a rich man with the same mental health issue who’d end up better off.

I don't think it is Lyle's best interest for the sake of his mental wellbeing to consider a move at the moment. The words from Kompany about South Africa's decision to omit him from their AFCON squad, "He needs to be within a small group as he recovers," say it all. No way does he need the pressure ...

Its this kind of thing that i was getting at in another thread about about our scouting. Kompany will have so many contacts within the game that he probably feels us having a few scouts going to random games around the world isnt going to worthwile when he can get information from his own networks....

GB News and Talksport are clearly the way forward.
The vast majority are wrong and the small percentage of blinkered nut jobs are correct.

They are definitely great if you a significantly biased news coverage. GB News think the Tories are radically Socialist!
