My memory ain’t what it should be, but I don’t remember it that way. Wasn’t Heaton out for an injury and Hart stepped in and kept the jersey until Tom found his way back in? Hart wasn’t bad for us. His biggest “crime” being that he wasn’t Tom Heaton. https://m.allfootballapp.com/amp/news/EPL/Tom-He...

Swizzlestick

A great career, but agreed a an odd one for us. Outrageous he was ahead of Heaton in the pecking order but was thankfully rectified.

Brentford were superb at City last night, they will batter us

They’ve been shite in the main. I’m not saying we’re going to get anything because we are also shite but they’ve won like 2 in 12 or something.

I’ve always thought a win of this size would completely ruin your life.

I think it depends how sensible you are and getting the right financial advice. I certainly wouldn't be going public, put it that way.

If the manager of another company comes into a communal office and and one of my employees kept on eating their lunch in the communal office my visitor might not blast the sandwich eater, but I sure as hell would.

I think he maybe saw O'Shea as somebody who could provide some leadership - was captain at West Brom. I do think he should've signed Townsend, who while not necessarily a first team starter, always comes across as a good pro with bags of experience who would've been great in the dressing room. Witho...

Re the sandwich comment… I totally agree with Wilder. How long does it take to meet the manager… would you take a sandwich to a business meeting with a client or supplier and start eating while discussing projects (outside of a business lunch). It is completely unprofessional and disrespectful, he ...

Had been receiving some criticism from the Hull fans, hope he can get things going now.

He came across as an arrogant pillock in that post match interview.

Interesting - did not remember HOW bad that season had been. Just had a look at the result and there were a few draws in there which ameliorated the feel. What date SD get potted out of interest?

Good Friday, 15th April

Swizzlestick

Just to counteract, I was ready to for him to go. He did amazing things for the club, should probably have a statue at the ground, but I think I’d had enough towards the end of his tenure, both on and off the pitch. I think the players had too.

Preston have charged £280 top price for their last 2 seasons in the championship. Rovers top price is £360 but with plenty of cheaper alternatives for comparison. Seems like some are happy with us charging £575-600 for 2nd tier football. Madness. There's no way PNE charge £280 for top price for the...

They may be enjoying the pragmatism, but it’ll be 8 PL games without a win if they don’t get a result tonight. Since they beat us, in fact.

No surprise to see who it is. Associates with the same numbnuts who organised the banner.

Think Trafford, amdouni, Odobert, Koleosho and Berge are all worth as much or more than we paid. Ramsey and Tresor seem to be the two shockers imo.

Fair play to us if we manage to get a profit on either Trafford or Amdouni

Swizzlestick

The new manager bounce isn’t a thing btw.

All the best to Roy.

Swizzlestick

Imagine our lineup if we signed these three plus a couple that we signed, we could have spent less than half what we have and been much stronger. Muric Roberts Beyer O'Shea Taylor Lokonga Barkley Berge Townsend Koleosho Foster This is getting a bit 'benefit of hindsight'. Didn't we go for Lokonga a...

We had more shots, more shots on target and a higher Xg. Luton had more shots, our xG was very similar and I'll defer we had a couple more shots on target. Otherwise, they had 62% possession, almost double the number of successful passes we had and won on every single duel metric - ground, aerial e...

Luton are and Sheffield United are Alehouse brawlers and offer nothing except bluster con and cheat .If I had them across the road and with a free ticket I would never go on.Excellent results today .

Luton outpassed and outplayed us a few weeks ago.

Before we went up VK used to say we may have been top of the Championship, but in England we were only the 21st best team . I wonder what he would say right now if we were to remind him. For me today, Leicester, Saints, Leeds are already arguably above us. Maybe Ipswich and several others too Yes, ...

We rolled the dice on four big money signings - Trafford, Amdouni, Ramsey and Tresor - and none of them have paid off.

Swizzlestick

He’s a great player but he won’t have many easier games this season.

Swizzlestick

Starry starry night…

Swizzlestick

A few ‘kinder’ games coming up where if we go back to our principles a bit we might actually get a goal or something. Muric for Trafford, Taylor for Delcroix, Cullen for Brownhill, Rodriguez for Amdouni, Benson for Ramsey.

Swizzlestick

Truly shocking and made all the more worse as it should have been a dead easy game to referee.

He mentions Burnley on pretty much every show.

His message on Instagram seems to allude to the fact he has something lined up.

Doesn’t sound an amicable one. Pretty terse statement and leaving with immediate effect. You can only imagine he’s been talking to other stations, most likely the Capital breakfast show. Great gig for him if he has got that.

Agreed with the above, Roy comes across as a gent and he’ll probably come to an amicable arrangement with Parish to save his bacon. Been treated pretty shabbily this season.

Swizzlestick

Well he’s the COO, so I imagine this falls into his remit - they also probably realise, as we’re seeing, that he’s a very personable character so it makes sense.

And Pace probably thinks, with some justification, it’s not worth the hassle after some of the jibes he’s received online, often based on his place of birth and/or religion.

If they know where they are going to park, perhaps they use the app prior to arriving

I was speaking more generally about the lack of phone coverage, not just for parking.

Aye something like that. 3-0 now.

We’re told the Championship is of a lower standard but it’s quite something that a team could go on such a run and still be out of the top two come full time tonight.

Fit, in contention or unavailable is all i'd need, but it doesn't feel like we even get that these days. "Back on the grass" is starting to feel like a detailed medical report by comparison!

Whenever I get to Burnley the signal disappears so I have to use cash/credit card.

I still have this problem when I come over to Burnley and park up for the game. I have to walk a few streets before I get a signal - not sure how people in the area cope with it tbh, it’s a joke.

Heaton was better than Hart. If we're going to get any positives from this miserable season then let's at least look after the future.

It’s not even like he went on a tangent about it.

Trafford is going to get more attention than, say, Amdouni because he occupies a critical position on the pitch, arguably the most critical, and it’s coming across to some, certainly myself anyway, that it’s weakened us as a team, both in terms of the tactical style Kompany was developingand as a ge...
