I am 49 so did not see much of the games Bobby played apart from re-runs. However when I was around 10 he hosted a football camp which I was privileged to be be part of and he showed us how to 1 touch pass and how it was legal to to use your arm to fend someone of taking the ball from you, and keep ...

Said it on another thread but I firmly believe if we’d simply bought THB, Maatsen and Tella when all three were available and in budget and used Benson, Zaroury, Muric etc we’d be mid table from pure riding of the crest of a wave. We only needed to add a bit last summer, could have signed the likes...

Again no consistency on team selection or position. I don’t know what VK is seeing on the training pitch but please get the best 11 on the pitch and let them gel instead of tinkering every match Koleosho been our best player—- benched Zaroury stood out on the left wing last season not played there o...

I sit in NU5 and there is a lot of attempts to get the atmosphere going, and to be honest probably been better this season than last season, but its always the same "we are the longside Burnley," rinse and repeat.... I was amazed when I sat in the Cricket field for a cup match and you cant hear the ...

I've been saying the same thing for the last few games, kompany is not doing Trafford (I feel sorry for him) or The team any favours by playing him week in week out just because of his price tag I don’t think it has anything to do with the price tag, more to do with man management and backing your ...

I really do think for himself he needs a break out of the firing line and get his confidence back up. Some time to continue with a player underperforming m, it can breed complacency, but I’m s...

Anyone got a link to the goal in question?

My wife died just under 3 years ago and although I can just about talk about her without breaking down in uncontrollable tears I still have to fight them back. I don’t class myself out of the dark woods yet, and sometimes wish the earth would swallow me up to be with her as it’s like loosing half of...

Glen view for mixed grill, nothing comes close.

I tried Glenview, and was not impressed to be honest, very cheap cuts and re warmed.

ClaretAL

I was going to ask on the the uk best 3 course meal thread but didn’t want to hijack it.

I’m partial to a really good and big mixed grill, or surf and turf.

Best I have had locally is mixed grill at the Top Brink in Tod , and 3 fishes for surf and turf. But looking for recommendations?

ClaretAL

I would be amazed if there is any more money to spend in January considering how much we spent in the Summer, unless we sell a few.

ClaretAL

I thought we controlled the first half, but went to pieces in the second half. I think we are still in a transitional period and even at baseline I can see what we are trying to do

Big positive for me was that was Traffords best game despite the 4 goals. His kicking and collecting was miles better

ClaretAL

Where is Tressor up to at the moment? Is he still working on fitness?

Be rained off this given the storm in that area last night and today

You really are a positive soul aren't you? Proper doom and gloom in most posts you make.

ClaretAL

WOW some real fans on this thread. How do you get from ecstatic about being champions, best transfer window in a long time, to 6 games later 5 of which against the biggest teams in the hardest league in the world, to VK potentially getting sacked. Get a bloody grip will you, we had the same last yea...

ClaretAL

Foster will make all the difference tomorrow.

ClaretAL

Odobert left wing and koleosho right wing would terrify defenders. Just not sure how we get zaroury in the team, who has so much to offer

ClaretAL

Cheers Tony, much appreciated.

ClaretAL

They do this in the NFL with game pass which is £180 per year, and you get access to every match

Currently enjoying the Rugby world cup, and the handle the VAR (TMO) absolutely brilliantly. Their process is the Referee on the pitch instigates the TMO and asks the remote viewer to show him a certain angle so he can double check his decision, as opposed to football VAR that the remote ref instiga...

Is it my claret tinted glasses or are the commentators so biased it’s unbelievable?

Just in case it’s not be mentioned, we feature on Premier League Stories New Era.
My grandson , son, and myself are also filmed on the intro walking down Harry Potts Way which made it sweater but it’s well worth a watch

On sky premier league tonight at 9:49 O believe but also on Amazon prime

ClaretAL

How did Pye get on? obviously interested in what we have coming through as a Left back considering the apparent shortages globally.

Hope shes ok , look after her tonight , cook the tea and get a nice botle of wine , or send out for take away and get a botle of wine on the way to pick her up

I take it Purclaret is Mrs Bosscat?

ClaretAL

It will be interesting to see how Logan Pye does today.

We miss the Irish League before and after the match, but Scarecrow (coaching house) Bull and Butcher and the Coal Clough Coaching house.

ClaretAL

I do get square pegs in round holes analogy, and at times we did this last season which resulted in losing usual tempo and cohesion of the team, however, VK has stated numerous times that all the players will move around in to different positions/formations, and this is the part that is going to tak...

ClaretAL

My concern is we don’t have anyone barking and organising the team now that Cork doesn’t play and before him Heaton etc, and that could be hurting us more with a lot of new guys trying to learn the system. With that in mind and until the new guys bed in I would be tempted with Brownhill, Cork, Cullen.

ClaretAL

I’m not going to mark but have to say it was telling once the old guard came in that we were more in control

ClaretAL

Guys the lad is young and looks like he is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders and we are all adding to it. I get the Joe Hart comparisons but Trafford has had no protection at all players can walk right through our midfield and defence to the point where one of the 3 of them can score...

ClaretAL

I notice no one has mentioned Ramsey in their formations. Where do we think fits in to the side and at the cost of who whether that be a sub or starter. We have so many midfielders I wouldn’t be surprised for us to go 3 2 4 1

ClaretAL

VK has only a few hours to save our season!... We currently have the weakest defence that we have ever had in the Premiership and it's even weaker than last season!... Truly bizarre, especially with the budget VK has been given... There is absolutely no chance we stay up with this current set of de...

ClaretAL

I still think Taylor can do a job at LB. Some of our best games/results in the premier league came from the Taylor McNeil partnership and we have similar if not better left wingers.

ClaretAL

CT have you stood down for the day? Must be a nightmare writing the articles that never get used.

ClaretAL

Tressor seemed to play as number 10 against us in the friendly but that is all I have seen of him

100m spent and we have a weaker, slower and less potent first team!

Wow

ClaretAL

Ok just to draw a line, please can the usual suspects not derail this match thread in to a pit of negativity and I know better ********. No streams so let’s enjoy the night as fans

ClaretAL

I don’t know much about Daka so did the obligatory YouTube and I’m not seeing why he looks a good fit for us. That said I’m sure officianados on here know him inside out will provide stats showing why.

This has just been in Granada reports and the video footage they showed was from the coach in question, and you can clearly see their are a bunch of kids just near the subway that goes under the old roundabout, and one of them tries a bottle of pop that bounces if the coach. Not a brick not a bridge...

ClaretAL

Some of comments on here beggar belief, and I am fairly sure its the same posters coming out with the same rhetoric this time last year. Just calm down and leave the professionals to do their work, and enjoy the ride. No problem with discussions and debate, but there is no point getting yourself dow...

The queue in the fanzone is massive around 45 minutes to kick off, but it does move deceptively quickly. However, in JHU the service has definitely gone backwards, and feels like you handing them the shirt from you back and thanking them for it.

ClaretAL

I am not condoning by any stretch of the imagination what happened, however I think we are being targeted by the media in trying to wide brush approach to our fan base. Every time I have been to an away match at Anfield, our coach has been pelted with stones and eggs etc, but as some have said earli...

I think he is a star in the making, and will be a massive part of our squad in the near future. I also thought he played very well against City on right wing, with Zeki next him and started crafting out situations as both very technical players, so wouldn't mid seeing Koleosho starting at RW more, a...

ClaretAL

I think everyone needs to think back to the beginning of last season where we had the same issue around the team gelling, and what VK's system was, and and some posters advising of league 1 status and definite relegation. At he same point Bastien et al were our main staters and it didn't take long f...

Looks like he was going to the Sheff Utd, but wages were an issue.

He was a handful against us in the friendly, but it was a friendly.
