He was brought up there, wasn't he?

Quicknick

If he hasn't done anything illegal, what's the big deal?

I've probably been to more countries than you have buddy but that's not the point. Im talking about this country and, yes, you are tolerated if you are settled in the safe, comfortable bubble allude. We may be more "tolerant" than other countries, and thank God for that, but a quick trawl through t...

You're white, middle class, not a Scot, not a cyclist, not interested in electric vehicles, not troubled by global warming, not anti racism, not an advocate of women's rights or gay rights or disabled rights I'm guessing. On second thoughts, perhaps the first two were enough. And you think people i...

6ft4 CB to partner O'Shea/Ekdal, Beyer to right back

I'll go with that

Is Beyer fit?

Mmm, not so sure about that.

I am. I have lived in three countries as well as England. England has to be the easiest place to live as a foreigner.

the best bit of transfer business in the bottom half of the table was Luton signing Barkley on a rumoured 30K a week - he's the exception though at talent to wages, stunning business by them, fair play to them for taking the risk on him.

Agreed. It's who we should have got.

Quicknick

Good to hear he liked it so much at Turf Moor.

Quicknick

What a truly great footballer. RIP, Franz.

White noise

A must for me these days. Sleep like a baby away from home with it on the phone

What is white noise?

Quicknick

Try box breathing. Works well for me.

Could not agree more

Also seems the Saudi football league dream will be over soon enough seems a few want away, guess this is like a china from a few years ago

Also, there isn't much fun to be had in Saudi.

I said the same on the today's football thread, nowhere near the level required

I also agree. Avoid. Not good enough.

The team plays better with Muric .. if Trafford has a good game it’s usually because the defence is having a mare and he pulls off a handful of saves

That is a very difficult claim to substantiate with stats as he has only played in the cups.

Quicknick

I hope he's okay. He makes such a difference to us.

Quicknick

Muric is a very good goalkeeper, but the throw out resulted in the goal. Definitely his fault and had Trafford done that, this board would be in uproar. At least, sections of it would be.

Quicknick

Another interesting footnote from that round is that Carlisle knocked out Sunderland after a replay at Roker Park when ( I think? ) Sunderland were the holders. I bet they were two tasty matches. I also went to the Grimsby match and my memory of the game is that not only were the crowd vociferous t...

Quicknick

Because homeownership is such a new aspiration of young people and never was before now… Easy to criticise by those who most likely bought a house for pittance decades ago and now sit on a nice golden nest egg. But they seem to expect a house when they are very young. I was 32 before I got on the p...

Quicknick

I genuinely think Anass simply lacks that explosive pace off the mark needed at this level in his position. His end product also seemed to take a real dip post World Cup, again, in my opinion. No doubting he has talent, but unfortunately for him, he now has Koleosho and Odobert rightly ahead of him...

Quicknick

Agreed. Benson was our ticket out of the Championship and, given a chance, when fit could turn it on in the PL- or be essential next year. Zaroury - well it's been the best part of a year since his best games so a move may be better for all I don't understand why Zaroury faded out. He looked like t...

Quicknick

Yes, actually, I can see your point, Tim. Altrincham would be nice to see in the league. And I agree about Crawley. Get rid of them. I didn't know FGR used to be Stroud. Good rock band from Stroud, incidentally: Pendragon.

Quicknick

Burnley are interested in a move for Hearts captain, Lawrence Shankland, with the likes of Everton, Sheffield United, Crystal Palace,, Southampton, Celtic, Hull City and Middlesbrough also watching the in-form striker https://twitter.com/TurfCastPodcast/status/1742517725811892554?t=FWrco1Z4qUB3YSdT...

I always find this a very strange position to take. Seasons like last year happen as a result of our regular involvement in the premier league. Unless you’re pining for days of bimbling around the bottom half of the championship.

Or even worse, the bottom two divisions.

So do I! Seen them many times at Stevenage, just something about the whole "project" that I don't like. Hopefully they'll go and take Forest Green with them!

Yes ger FGR down, as well.

Only just seen this - thanks - much appreciated - its my birthday this month so thats one less idea to come up with for family members

Good man. Definitely get it. It's superb.

Quicknick

If only we can keep him next season, he could go on to be regarded as our best striker ever.

Quicknick

I hope they drop out of the league.

I like Benson. Don’t want to sell. I do think he is a bit soft though. Has anyone else seen him putting a gum shield in before coming on? I have.

Why does a gumshield make him soft?

Quicknick

Very sad news.

Benson was a game changer. Hasn’t been given an opportunity this season. Which is mind boggling considering how ineffective our new signings (bar Koleosho and Odebert) have been.

Koleosho and Odebert being the two players ahead of him, slection wise.

Totally agree with the above…. If say we had mee and Tarks at the back we’d be nowhere near the bottom

I'm not convinced Mee and Tarkowski would look so good in this set-up.

Quicknick

Thanks for that. Tremendous goal. Decent match, as well.

Quicknick

It needed Duncan Ferguson lurking upstairs.

Quicknick

Blackburn and Leeds lose. That's enough for me.

We must never confuse silky skills and gliding with a crunching tackle when needed. Dobbo the man. Berge bit of a wuss. As are most players nowadays.

Crunching tackles: how about Colin Blant?

Dobbo never lost a tackle!

He glided around much like Berge does. That was my point, Ian.

Ahhh dear dear Sander A tall elegant chap , rather athletic in his physique, does a lot of running whilst on the pitch . Probably a good type all round . Good manners lets the opposition players have ball before him as he doesn’t want to hurt any of the chaps from the other side by putting his foot...

Keyboard slip of finger to next letter! As you say, probably pronounced the same!

Cheers, Ian. I realised after I posted my comment. It looks good spelled that way, though.

Glad he's not going. Work on his fitness and get him back to the form he was in early in the season. Had he not been out, we may not be in the relegation zone.

I'd like us to sign him.
