What would shock is the actual use of the English language in London. Very rare these days. Also in Manchester where I read that there are 200 languages spoken. Now that is diversity in the extreme.

Everton would be nice....City & Chelsea are untouchable

Why? The case against City is meticulously being built. But, of course their teams of top lawyers are bombarding the EPL with 'their' materials. They must try to cut through this

Blackburn Rovers get relegated. It's heading that way.

Higher if we'd signed Tella and THB plus experience.

Thats what the OP is saying. A few seem to disagree but its a moot point anyway.

Luton scored 2 so far, hit the woodwork x2 and had x1 chalked off, they have what we don't have organisation and fight

They also have the ability to score against some of the top teams.

Will the seemingly forgotten Zaroori be at this tournament? I would think he would be delighted to go if selected.

If you're going off viewing figures as a benchmark for the success of a TV company or one of its programmes then the likes of Sky and so on are in the soft stuff.

Spoty is way past its heyday and hardly relevant these days. The BBC should ditch this expensive junket and leave such extravagances to Sky or TNT.

I haven't read all this thread but I think had HS2 been started in the north it would have been completed. In fact I read that HS1 standard would have been sufficient. HS1 is, of course, a line in the South East.

A train link from Rawtenstall to Manchester would be a good start.

Yes and when Dr Beeching closed the line the MP at the time should have staged a massive protest. Beautiful stone bridges went on the line to Bacup. Cultural sabotage.

We will still have to clear corners and free kicks into our box in the Championship. And we will have to score. This team needs some proper men in it. Last seasons team was balanced better even to Barnes protecting the youngsters. We need this badly now.

Stayingup

OK apart from the odd game it's men against boys as it was today. No great shakes Everton, but more physical, taller, experienced and well organized. We are patently not good enough to play the way the manager wants the team to play. I could go on but I'm rather depressed tonight. More so that any o...

Dyche had about £1bn in total spend in order to end up relegated with a worthless, knackered, old squad. Buying and selling isn't his forte unfortunately. Yes and Heaton, Pope, Tarkowski, Barnes, Barton, JBG, Wood and many others were shocking signings. I think you need to get real. He was starved ...

Pace gave Dyche 45m in transfers, signed 2 Champions League players and spent 95m in wages (largest ever) and we were bloody garbage. Kompany has spent 80-90m and 60-70m on wages. Will work out similar in total. Yes but are you sure THEY were Dyche signings these two CL players? I'm not. Dyche in h...
