So you agree that he doesn't actually "know" anything, not good for a local joirnalist to be so pally,pally with the club. All local sports journalists have to be ‘pally pally’ with the club. Dyche and his staff give nothing away, all fees are undisclosed - it’s just the way it is. Other clubs are ...

Swizzlestick

Yeah, no idea why Boden is getting so much stick. He has to be a ‘club man’ in his role. And as we all know, Dyche keeps all cards close to his chest. Same reason Nicko knows **** all these days.

John Percy only knows about this because of his ties to Stoke.

Legit didn’t. Don’t think I ever even communicated with him.

Didn’t help that he quote tweeted every reply for reasons only known to the big man himself.

Actually ended up unfollowing him. Doesn’t know half as much as he thinks (did he know anything about this Pieters deal?) and was mind-numbing about the Bolton ownership debacle. Also thinks he’s a bit of a twitter celeb - reviewing people’s accas?!

Spijed wrote:Some keep using that argument, but let's face it, there was a massive difference in the first half of the season with Mr Hart in goal!

Well indeed, but let’s not pull at that particular thread again...

It was more the tired observation about Howe teams not having a clue about defending.

I’m taking about David Raya. The thread has developed.

Now that is a big loss for Rovers. One of their better performers. The heart just bleeds, doesn’t it?

Swizzlestick

I think it was a surprise to most Leeds fans that he was in the team of the year.

Strikes me as a Bikey type - has the ability but only shows up now and then.

You can be a defensive, counter-punching player and win Slams

Rovers, I think.

If only he took that advice on board.

How is "Heard that David Jones is back training with us" abuse?

People stating to get a bit weird about him now. He was a good player for us, but as time moves on he seems to be somehow becoming some untouchable Burnley great just because a section of the support never got on board.

Log off for a bit.

Love how the Trump supporters earlier on the thread were trying to posit this as some kind of historic moment in global diplomacy when, in reality, the President of the United States has just given legitimacy to one of the worst tyrannical leaders in exchange for absolutely nothing.

Whole band are on it, particularly Robert.

Just Like Heaven absolutely incredible.

Yeah the same lad who's transfer made no sense when he was utter dogshite for spurs for a fair while. He still struggles to be consistently good even now. As for France, he's played for them 5 times since he joined spurs, probably a reflection of his poor form.. By pretty broad consensus Sissoko wa...

The Killers seem all over the place. I saw them just after their first album came out and they were a shambles liv, they don’t seem to have got any better I think there’s a few things you can level at their performance, but I don’t think you can call it a shambles. If anything, they were a bit too ...

Music is very subjective and everyone gets an opinion. I do it for a living but my opinion is no more valid than yours. It's all in the sales.

I think he's a good fit as a 'firefighting' manager if a team needs to grind some results out, but for a team with the lofty ambitions of Forest, it never really seemed like the right fit. Throw in the people skills of Roy Keane and you can see why everyone's had enough, tbh.

Swizzlestick

Forest fans don't exactly seem distraught by the news.

Reeperbahn is good fun but seedy in places. St Pauli stadium worth a visit which is nearby. Fascinating history. Rathaus (Town Hall) area good for culture.

Went for Arfield and JBG.

Love Wade but Gudmundsson’s quality won out.

Here's another question then on the Copa America which I couldn't find the answer to - why are they having another one next year? I think they also did the same in 2015 and 2016. It seems to be held pretty much at random. CONMEBOL voted to move the tournament so that it's played in 'even' years to ...

Barton is a must pick, surely. The influence he had on the team can't be underestimated. Then there's reasonable arguments for at least 2/3 others. Can see why people would be against it, but I'd probably go Defour as second pick - when he was on it, he was unbelievable and far beyond the quality I ...

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have Heaton or Pope in goal but the crap posted on social media about Hart is odd.

You didn’t think Hart played badly against Everton on Boxing Day? Seriously?

German football doesn't seem to suffer with extortionate prices or wages like English football does.

He only had a year left on his contract when he originally signed for Bayern.

And Bayern pay huge wages.
