I'm not sure what we gain by sacking him atm. Unlike others, I think last season's incredible achievements give him a safety net. Yes, some things have been baffling this season, and he is acting very stubbornly. But let's be honest, we could easily be at least level with Luton were it not for VAR d...

Other then bottling the Wharton red card, the ref actually had a good game

But that's a big problem. It wasn't a difficult decision. But it was a key decision. And he blew it

Pointless making no minors in you're driving test if you then plow into a school

We play a different back 4 every week. I think coaching that into a cohesive defence is an almost impossible task. Doesn't matter if you've got 4 strikers at the back. Some of our errors have been so basic, they wouldn't have been out of place in a pub league. Some really are as simple as marking y...

Roosterbooster

That 1st goal is exactly why we will go down Everything else this season is irrelevant. We have conceded so many goals from basic defensive errors, it puts us on the back foot pretty much every week We got away with it last season against poorer teams. Not at this level. A free man at the back post ...

Wharton taken off.

Should have been sent off. It's another blatant decision that's gone against us this season

Roosterbooster

It's a yellow card every day of the week

Unless you're already on a yellow and the ref doesn't want to send you off

Weak refereeing yet again

Prediction

Max to win at a canter, but not as much as last season
Ferrari, Mercedes and 2 others quite close for 2nd in constructors
Lewis to pip Leclerc to 2nd in drivers
Ferrari to throw away at least 2 victories in first 5 races, including losing from pole in season opener

I beg to differ , nobody’s asking for a players medical history in any shape or form ,just a very very basic synopsis of the serious injury would be more than adequate for the fans, etc and others who pay their wages . Eg eg ACL ,Achilles ect , nothing more or less needed . I’ve no doubt VK is unde...

What does Klopp always have that smirk on his face when they concede?

Well that helps a little

Very promising debut. I'm not sure I agree with the nervous comments. Made an error early on, but then just plugged away and got better and better. So quite the opposite of those comments as far as I could tell

It's absolutely unprofessional at the very least for stewards to be touching people or their bags in this scenario I have a backpack most games, as I often take the 2 kids on, and they need a variety of things. Usually I offer to show my bag as I go past the table. But recently they don't seem to ca...

Is he a loan or a loan with obligation to buy?

I've heard loan with obligation to buy based on certain conditions being met. But which division we are in is not one of those conditions. Unlike Assignon

I think Amdouni and Ramsey are excellent footballers, and I've been trying to work out how to get them in our starting XI all season. But after today, I must reluctantly concede that they are passengers at the moment

Roosterbooster

Thanks for the info

Roosterbooster

Looks like you’ve done what VK does when he picks the subs ,picking them out of a hat,I reckon you may be in the minority by picking Amdouni and Vitinho ,and Odebert has only had an off night against City so I reckon he should keep his place . I agree with most of that. And it's rare that I go so l...

In case he got injured? Yeah I agree. Sorry I was replying to another message and CT was too fast for me Either way. I'm gonna miss Anass. I know he hasn't featured much, but he gets me off my seat.

I don't see the point in using two players like that when the management knew they were going out of the door a day later. Just don't get it. Sorry.

It's a loan. How has a small cameo last night made any difference?

He wasn't featuring and releasing him created headroom to bring loan players who might?

He played last night, but leaves
Benson wasn't even on the bench, but stays

It's a bit of a head scratcher

From the tele, thought he did fine 2 issues for me 1. I thought Doku yellow was very harsh 2. You could tell he was going to give a FK pretty much any time a City player fell over, even before they had even fallen over. The one time he didn't, the City players looked bemused, even though it was quit...

Loan with obligation to buy if certain criteria met, is what I've read

For about 3 separate 15 minute spells, I thought we looked OK. And against City away, that's OK with me

It's interesting reading. Some of their arguments are pretty weak. Some are downright ridiculous. Part of their arguments seem to revolve around being unlucky, having previously gambled unsuccessfully. If the punishment gets overturned (even in part) then it just makes a mockery of the entire system

Should we be catering to all the 10 year olds who just want to come to the game to live stream themselves and digitise the game? Or should we work to create an environment where watching the game negates the need to spend the entire time on your phone? I'd honestly rather have 500 proper fans in the...

Let me ask you question. If you're ten, and you want to support a club, do you support City, who win every week, often win trophies and the whole affair around the match day is catered just to your liking OR do you pick Burnley, getting pumped most weeks, sitting in a cramped, dilapidated old stadi...

Ajax want to sell forbs not loan apparently

I think you're right. The article I read said a loan would be authorised only if it included a buy option

Rumours ive read - nothing substantive, just possibilities (and some seem very very unlikely indeed)

Benson to Leeds or Southampton
Roberts to Leeds
Taylor to Leeds

I'd hate an out of town ground. The priorities for me are location, and atmosphere.

The ridiculous thing was that they counted in extra time, giving Spurs an extra 30 mins to score one. The tie should have ended at 90 mins with us having one more away goal than they had. Still, those were the rules and we knew them. They were the rules But they seemed dumb then, and still do now

Simultaneous just means happening at the same time.
