In all seriousness, I used to love a carvery or buffet but I am not a fan these days... I don't mind the new system of buffets I have seen at Chinese restaurants though, where you sit down and choose from a buffet meal card and it is cooked fresh for you.

You could ask him when you visit a "Toby Carvery" VK loves a Toby Beef Dinner

That does look amazing to be fair but my days of professional competitive eating are long gone and I would struggle with that size of a portion (no innuendo intended).

“ exclusive place “
Hook , bait , cast!!

Looks like I caught a few as well

I didn't think the thread would get past the mods and last this long to be honest

BigChaCha

I love his transparency but whether he can still do that on a losing streak is another matter so will be interesting to see how he reacts and talks in tricky patches.

Has anyone been?... Looking for an affordable meal out at the weekend and I have been told that it was an exclusive place at bargain prices!... Any recommendations for a nice meal out this lovely sunny weekend?

We have a nr 10. Twine.

Exactly and he is not available... VK has stated that he wants at least 2 players competing for every position, hence the bids for Callum O'Hare previously at Coventry.

eastcoastclaret Just not seeing what others are seeing on this one. Looks poor on YouTube and can't play a full match.

If that was Sean Dyche, this thread would be about him losing the dressing room. There were some very derogatory comments in here about Kompany when some of these video clips of him were published on this forum prior to him coming here and the vast majority here, was not impressed at all so it will...

Exactly the reason why Centre Parcs is miles better than Haven/Pontins etc. Money doesn't guarantee class It doesn't guarantee it but there's definitely a correlation between how much a company or event charges and the behaviour of the people... The environment plays a part too... For example, I al...

The only way to get rid of these clowns is to price them out...

Not exactly a rumour but involves a new player...

Does anyone think Twine will replace Costelloe in the starting lineup tomorrow?

BigChaCha

Isn't Kompany more interested in spreading the goals around the team instead of an out-and-out goal scorer? He didn't say or indicate that he was more interested in that aspect of play but that every team he's had were like that and that we will probably need to spread the goals around as we don't ...

BigChaCha

surely there can’t be a release clause if they’ve bid 500k underneath it No expert on this but it probably depends on the payment structure and also on what bids we have had... If no club has activated the release clause with the payment structure instructed within that release clause then I don't ...

Don't think we've hit anywhere near the bottom yet, bit of a minor rally, it'll lose all that and more soon, just my opinion of course.

A quick bit of research on YouTube, tells me Jovane Cabral is just what need!... A big strong bully boy with a big backside but also an eye for goal and looks to be technically decent as well.

He is the same age as Dwight McNeil who we just sold for 22m, and who played 16 more games than Darko Churlinov last season yet Churlinov scored twice as many goals and 5 times as many assists as McNeil over much fewer games! :roll: Considerably lower level though Chacha it’s like comparing Twine i...

Churlinov stories picking up a bit. Bild newspaper now reporting that we’ve made contact with Stuttgart and a decision will be made early next week.

Egan-Riley is more of a utility back, not a dedicated centre-back and he's said as much himself. He's extremely lightweight and short for a dedicated centre-half of which he is not!... He's also only 19, has virtually no experience at this level and above and has played all over the park previously...

BigChaCha

Coventry describes O’Hare’s injury as a “tweak”, which wouldn’t be a deal breaker if we’re still interested.

It could also be nonsense, and Burnley has asked them not to play him to risk injury before a transfer.

The deal would have to be extremely close for that to happen.

BigChaCha

I'm struggling to understand the need for so many centre-backs. Yeah, I don’t really get it to be honest. We already have enough, especially if Taylor is slotting in there too. Yet still more defensive links and literally zero strikers! Because Kompany obviously doesn't rate Long or thinks he can't...

BigChaCha

Could there be a more perfect match than Sean Dyche and Stoke? Yes and I also think he needs to get back to work pretty sharpish... If Kompany is a success and gets us back into the Premier League playing football like we did yesterday, then Sean's stock will fall if he is still out of work and the...

We had 4 central defenders in reserve (Long, Thomas, CJ, Mcnally), how many central defenders does a team need? We are looking to ship out Long... How many games have you seen Thomas play at club level?... more like a development payer! CJ by his own admission is more of a utility back, not a dedic...

BigChaCha

I will add that I think this display might see a few other targets keen on joining!

Or wondering why they left

Unfortunately, it works the other way around as well... If we keep playing like this over the next few weeks, it will likely lead to us also losing Roberts and Brownhill as well!

BigChaCha

Wow, cant believe Kompany has Lowton, JBG & Barnes in his first 11. I thought it was going to be a new dawn but he looks like he might just be Dyche MkII Is your carer on holiday? Just asking for a friend. Not at all. How can a new manager that has played at the highest level, selecting young, ener...

A bigger concern is how the fans would react to four games without a win. In fact, I think for some it will start after one game without a win. This is one of my biggest fears, if we don't get off to a flying start, and there's every chance that we won't, then the grumbles will soon grow. It's vita...

BigChaCha

Indeed. After the Newcastle trouncings the best he could come up with as positives were that there weren’t any more injuries and they did some running. Re the coming season he basically began softening us up for a poor start because there are so many new players to integrate. Frankly he looked a bi...

BigChaCha

In the past week. Wouldn’t say I have the unwavering support of the owner as such, I just try to look at the positives and add balance, there is definitely more weight on the other side of the coin on this board. This is kind of my point. He's come into a new job and it seems every week there is an...

That released team would probably beat our current team!

I actually agree with KRBFC for once, even if he is not very eloquent at describing his views... We do seem to be going for cheaper options which never ends well... I'm very nervous about our central defence as well, so close to our first game with some players not really featuring in pre-season fri...

Cornet has some serious thinking to do. Two newly promoted championship clubs and a team that evaded the same fate as us by the skin of their teeth appear his only options. He appears happy and settled at Burnley and there is more than a good chance that he will be playing with us in the EPL next s...

Wonder who’s going to be our marquee signing this window.

I used to wonder if we would sign any player at all under the last regime

BigChaCha

The bloke is less than prolific I front of goal to be getting rinsed for 10m

Grealish is hardly prolific in front of goal either and I would have hated to have missed out on him for anywhere near 10m!

BigChaCha

BPF would terrify me to be honest. Look at the goal he conceded at Shrewsbury. Not sure I’ve ever seen him make a save in a Burnley shirt.

That wasn't him playing and that conceded goal was mainly the fault of Josh Cullen so does Cullen terrify you as well?

BigChaCha

Surely the last thing we need is another CB, even with Colins going, we've got Egan-Riley, Long, McNally, THB and Thomas who can all play there if needed. Thomas is completely unproven and not what I would call a first-team squad player and by his own admission, Egan-Riley is more of a utility back...

I found it interesting that they made a big deal how working class kids had no access to playing cricket. I found the opposite in our town with school cricket and then club cricket.

BigChaCha

So I was right?!... Norwich is a bigger club than us!

BigChaCha

If you look at the stats, it's a massive myth that teams who play from the back concede more goals... Quite the opposite in fact and the biggest proponents of that type of football in the world proved that last season with the joint best goals against column in their league.

Nobody said Brownhill wouldn't be decent at Championship level

Since relegation, I've seen loads of comments here saying we should sell at the first opportunity and that we could easily replace him with an upgrade...

Like I've said a few times... Cloud Cuckoo Land!

I mean, just using Burnley as an example, we’ve literally seen no young English players been given a chance as a result.

If nobody comes in with full amount and Cornet is not pushing for a move then maybe we will see him in the Championship which I think would really make a difference to our season. A lot would depend on his attitude!... Out of our saleable assets, I'm not concerned with Brownhill's, demeanour, will-...
