The slight issue with your view is that it renders any success in the Championship rather pointless too. Surely Brighton and Brentford are good models for us. Able to have enjoyable seasons and stick it to the big boys whilst thriving with talented players spotted through clever scouting. And sure,...

Why do people keep saying £100m? It’s probably nowhere near that figure.

It isn't. People like hyperbole though, makes everything seem more extreme than it is.

He only gave the second because he knew he should have given the first. When you look at the United pen yesterday which was near identical, it shows what a bad decision our first one was.

quoonbeatz

Sad news. Euro 96 was tremendous. A proper football man.

quoonbeatz

Yet by a number of the comments a lot of people obviously don’t know that’s our tactic. I thought we were pretty seamless at playing out from Trafford yesterday - certainly the most effective and error-free we’ve been so far this season. In fact, had the game ended in the 86th minute I’m sure we’d ...

quoonbeatz

Isn’t that just the Premier League though? I think I stopped enjoying being in it the season we were in Europe. I was willing to buy the idea that our dominance last season might make this one more than just the typical newly promoted side’s relegation scrap, but that was extinguished pretty quickl...

quoonbeatz

You'd have to have not watched us for 18 months to not know that's our tactic. There were plenty of times where it worked brilliantly yesterday but there were times when he was put under pressure, not by the crowd but by taking too long so that most of the outfall were cut off. As with Muric last se...

quoonbeatz

Another name to add to the pile of woefully out of their depth, zero understanding of the game referees you get at this level. This guy had the the standard inability to know how to play advantage and not giving the first penalty shout, especially given where he's stood, is just rank bad.

quoonbeatz

A tough one to take as this was probably as well as we've played this season, with some very good performances through the team. Naivety from players but mainly from the manager has cost us, with too many subs and the wrong ones to boot. Trafford - 5 S. L. O. W. Didn't have much to do with his hands...

quoonbeatz

Impressive straw clutching from the solicitor. Mind you, I read an article by the esk in the guardian earlier proclaiming that the non-punishment Everton have received for cheating is somehow harsh on them.

quoonbeatz

An absolute non-punishment. If clubs cheat, relegate them. Dead simple. Expect City to be awarded some points if their day of reckoning ever comes, that's how toothless the people in charge are.

quoonbeatz

Looks like they'll be bottom for a week.

Lol etc

He's a good man. And thorough.

It’s a barometer of his value as an asset.

Very relevant.

Nope. It's a barometer of how each of those managers did at different clubs in different circumstances, and has no relevance whatsoever to how valuable an asset Kompany is to Burnley.

How isn’t that relevant?

Performing at this level dictates the value of the asset. It’s literally the most relevant way.

Stats of other managers at different clubs have zero to do with it. Might as well rate their omelette as well while you're at it.

quoonbeatz

Just to make a point I will list a few of the recent managers that have better points per game return than VK in the prem: Gerrard - 1.18 Lampard - 1.00 Dean smith - 1.18 Hassenhutel - 1.28 Marsch - 1.16 Nathan Jones - 1.07 Gary Neville (not premier league but he’s regularly mocked for his manageme...

How can you come to that viewpoint?

Name a bigger one.

quoonbeatz

She's an absolute danger.

quoonbeatz

This argument has a slight hole in it as we tried signing Maatsen throughout the summer. Early in the summer Chelsea didn’t want to sell as he was performing in pre-season, later on we’d had a £20m+ bid accepted and he didn’t want to come. I’m not sure what the club could have done? We also tried s...

quoonbeatz

Think the big problem isn't having some patience with all the new wide players, it's looking at the situation that with so many of them realistically not all of them are even going to get a proper chance and we've spent so much on them. Whereas Tella feels to most of us like he would have been much...

Ange is a proper football man.

3 of the worst there, excellent news.

quoonbeatz

They're already reviewing every goal anyway though, so I doubt there would be much difference there. Really the biggest issue with var in football, and the reason why it can never truly work, is that football is not like cricket and rugby, for example, which are stop start and are really a series of...

quoonbeatz

I hope you are joking. Managers will use it like they use everything else, to try and win the game, either by time wasting, stopping the flow of the game etc.. You have to assume that, like players, they will cheat as often as they can to gain an advantage. Not if you limit how many times they can ...

Hints of Barnes against Chelsea …..

Exactly that. Not a foul.

quoonbeatz

They’re both nasty challenges, but I’m sure you wouldn’t be saying the Romero one isn’t a foul if they were playing against us. He knows exactly what he’s doing, horrible player. As Gary Neville pointed out first half, 4 red cards in 75 games for Tottenham, that’s not unlucky, that’s just the sort ...

Oliver didn’t give it though - was sent to the monitor. Yes he wins the ball but it’s the follow through that’s done him. It’s a definite red for me.

It's still his decision even if var tell him to look at it.

quoonbeatz

Clear foul and red card. Cannot understand this opinion at all. Since when can you tackle with force shin high? You can't. But that isn't remotely what happens. Its not a tavkle dor a start, he's going to clear the ball. He kicks through ball from behind it with the side of his foot and catches the...

quoonbeatz

Udogie one is a red though. Mental they've not given that.

quoonbeatz

I'm a bit behind the times these days, but I thought a genuine attempt to play the ball (Romero's red card) was a yellow card and a penalty, not a red card and penalty. So is it a violent conduct red card? I mean, it was a bad tackle, but it was clearly an attempt to play the ball. Is there a serio...

quoonbeatz

Romero penalty isn't even a foul.

quoonbeatz

Jarrow Bowen's goal at the weekend was very similar but clearly far more of a handball than Berge's was at Forest. And he scored so it didn't even need to be deliberate. Still given though.

quoonbeatz

Wouldn't change last season for anything. Not really bothered how this one turns out, it was that good.

quoonbeatz

'....it's such an easy job.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It's really easy. If you have players in your face like that, you have a red card in your pocket. They'll soon stop. Tell a keeper once to hurry up and if he delays again, book him. Its so so easy. Officials want respect...

quoonbeatz

Best performance in weeks this, which tells you how bad the others were, and its no coincidence that it came when we had more of last season's team playing together. Really bright start that was shot to pieces by a ridiculous defensive error from a rusty centre half and you kind of knew that a manag...

quoonbeatz

He was good last time we had him but he was miles off that standard today. So unbelievably weak. Had 3 players screaming in his face at half time - just send them off, its easy. Allowed constant time-wasting at goal kicks or have they been instructed to stop carding for that now? At least 10 mins sh...

quoonbeatz

Have a day off lads. Maybe leave the house or something.

quoonbeatz

Was always going to take time to adapt to this level, which is why he's another example of a player who would be doing better if he was one of only a few changes from last year's team. The Belgian league is much closer to the Championship than the Premier league, which is why we had a load of player...

quoonbeatz

Personally I think the way to have started the season would have been to give the players from last season a chance to perform at this level and to slowly introduce the new signings. Looks like we are going about it the wrong way round. Exactly how it should be done. We're doing a Fulham from a cou...

quoonbeatz

In the select group at 30 means he'll never have played any proper football in in his life and will have zero understanding of the game. Nailed on to be awful.

There is nothing that is more tinpot and ruins what atmosphere there is, than a drum.

Does the qualifiers for the competition count as the real competition? would that mean San Marino players could technically say they’ve represented their country in a World Cup?

Not even technically - they have. The last 32 is the finals event.

quoonbeatz

The only two results that have been wrong this season are Forest, where we were robbed of 2 points, and United, who we should really have beaten. Amdouni scores his big chance and we'd have won that. The rest we can have no complaints about. Chelsea are a good side in a false position. They won't be...

Can't have been tactical cos there's no way any sane person would take him off ahead of Delcroix.

You can't really make a comparison, because last season's team was playing the likes of PNE and Millwall. If last season's team was playing Chelsea and City, their results would have been very different. You can definitely make a comparison if you've watched them both. It isn't true to say this sea...

He was fine. Nothing really controversial to deal with and the bookings were all justified.

quoonbeatz

Awful 1st half and might as well have not been on the pitch in the 2nd. He's new to the country, the club and the league, and it's a steep learning curve at this level. Didn't look like he knew where he was playing today.

He does show some good touches though, going to need time.
