Absolutely love opening the second page on this and seeing comments about the Met and the Casey Review in a Soccer AM thread. Because I’ve not read the first page I’ve no idea how we’ve got from Tubes to Baroness Casey in less than fifty posts. And to be honest, I’m happier not knowing. Genuinely me...

They’ve established that people will pay this price now. Why would they drop it?

And this shower in charge won’t do anything about it.

i think that depends

Clearly Bellamy is ambitious and hes certainly his own man. If VK leaves us in the Prem for a better Prem club then Bellamy might see it as an opportunity he cannot turn down

Bellamy has already said he isn’t a number one. He very much sees himself as a number two or coach.

What's happened to the likes of Eze & Olise?

Last season both looked brilliant yet this year neither have been as constantly good.

Eze 1 goal and 1 assist last season.

Olise 2 goals and 5 assists.

They just weren’t that good last year. Zaha is the one who has dropped off.

Which part of the club or business do you own?

I’m still a shareholder in the club and I’d quite like to see the accounts.

I kept my shares just to see how things played out. I was fortunate that I didn’t need the money and the shares were a gift to me.

They don’t own all the club.

Chill out, the transfer window is closed until the summer

It’s almost as if people are more concerned about the wider financial implications of what this may mean rather than the trivial matter of being unable to sign players when we can’t.

Socrates

He looked sharp yesterday. Couple of good runs, some nice hold up play and took the goal brilliantly. What I noticed straight away was that he looked a different player as soon as he scored. His touch was more confident, he was pulling wide more too. There’s a player there for sure. In games where h...

Definitely happening more in our games - I’m not seeing it as much in other games.

Must be a result of how we play.

Socrates

Ekdal is the better defender at the moment by quite a bit I’d say. He’s better in the air, knows when to attack the ball better and is a decent dribbler and passer himself - although not at THB’s level. Al-Dakhil has looked really good in his performances too. Really quick and a proper front foot de...

It’s the absolute pits this forum.

He’d had a few drinks in the pub as all pre game (when dropped off) and may have been a little fresh, but he definitely hurt his back on the way to the ground.

Socrates

Benson is a massive miss in the games like Wednesday and yesterday.

Maatsen, Brownhill, Churlinov all would have helped yesterday. Even Harwood-Bellis was with his passing out.

We’ve had quite a lot of injuries this year all told.

Socrates

I'm not willing to go TBH. They don't seem very nice . Which is the point I'm making. Happily spend a few days in Utah though. That looks nice, as do the people. Ah right. So based on nothing other than conjecture. I thought as much. Could almost say your post was shockingly naive and preposterous.

42 murders per million people on average in the US.

15 in Somalia.

A whole heap more guns in America too.

I think that's shockingly naive and preposterous, Lancaster, I really do. How about this for a test: I'll go to Utah and ask to have a look around and meet up with the locals. You go to Mogadishu or Kabul and do the same. We'll compare our experiences of how nice and welcoming the locals were when ...

I’d absolutely be going and I’ve promised I’ll take my son. No doubt in my mind.

He’s the epitome of the “I thought he spoke very well” school of journalism.

Socrates

Win 1, draw 1, lost 1. Don’t score many, don’t concede many.

He’s doing exactly the same as he did at Brighton. I don’t know why people are surprised.

Absolutely.

Proper nip and tuck with our double digit lead over second now.

If something was ever going to work it would have worked by now & it hasn't & never will. You’ve just argued against evolution there, you plum. Imagine if anybody who had invented anything ever just gave up after a few years. We’d have no cars, planes, TV, anything. Two caveman going “we’ve not fir...

Win our game on Tuesday.

That is all that matters.

If we do that then any result on Wednesday is beneficial to us because it means somebody slips further back.

But the win on Tuesday is all that really matters.

Socrates

Somebody on Twitter mentioned that he’s a better outfield player than Dale Stephens.

Socrates

We will sell him for big, big money.

He’ll end up playing for one of the super clubs.

Socrates

We are very similar clubs. It goes to show it only takes one season for everything to align at the right time, and it can change everything for the next few years. Preston we're unlucky with those playoff defeats in the early 2000’s, while we invested back into the club after a freak promotion and ...

To be fair the sight of Diego Penny at Bradford pre season scrambling across his 6 yard line unaware of where his far post was without an opposition player within 10 yards didn't fill me with much optimism about him..

ONLY LOWBANK KNEW!!!

So , go back and screen shot where he said that on the post, it will be in the claretsmad archives. As I remember, not a single person agreed with me. But happy to be wrong . We know the date Sheff Weds away. Posted about 60 minutes in. So you have date and time, will not be hard to find his post. ...

Sonko had one of the best games ever at the Turf. Literally everytime he kicked the ball it went out of play

They kept a clean sheet that day.

That was his job.

A few years ago I posted that Penny our new keeper should go back to Peru at about 60 minutes into our game at Sheff Weds.

Christ ….. it took you 60 minutes?

My mate called it when Penny didn’t save a shot in the warm up.

The two aren’t even remotely comparable.

His style of play reminds of Maxwell Cornet .

Bastien isn’t getting enough game time, so I’m unclear why adding another back up midfielder helps so much.

If we’re signing a new midfielder it’s an upgrade to the first team or we hold off until summer as far as I’m concerned.

Always felt Laws was a stranger to the truth when talking about Burnley. He was properly chippy talking about us when he was Scunthorpe manager on a number of occasions.

Why are you debating with him?

Do you honestly think he’s going to turn round and say “you know what lads, you’re right. I’ve got this one wrong”?

It's an imperfect solution to a bigger problem that already plagues the game and I don't mind a jot if nobody agrees.

Massive bug bear. Any player down sufficiently to stop the game should have to have a 2 minute injury time out. This would stop the blatant play acting / time wasting in an instant. What about if you deliberately fouled three of your opponents in quick succession so they were down to eight men temp...
