But, in a sensible discussion, you can't just compare two games like Chelsea and Brighton. You do realise Chelsea are by far a better side/team than Brighton don't you? You do realise we can attack a poorer team far easier than a good team? You keep using the word "guarantee". I'm not sure why as I...

They are the Leeds Utd of the south coast. Horrible in every sense of the word.

Completely agree mate. Horrible club

Can we look at how many we had when we played the same team away with Vydra playing?

It wasn't the same team.

Edit - we had exactly the same as Wood and Barnes did when we played them at home. Difference is the Chelsea game was Vydras first start in the league this season

DomBFC1882

Fair enough. I like us getting enough points to stay in the PL. Each to their own. So do I and if you think Barnes and Wood guarantee that then you're sadly mistaken. Maybe look at how many shots on target we had when we played Chelsea at home and they both started. I'll give you a clue..... 0 I ca...

But just being better on the eye doesn't win you points? Would you prefer lots of games like today which are nice to watch or a very unpleasant, ugly, hard working 1 nil win, er, let's say over Liverpool which gets you 3 points? I think I know which result is the better one. And it's results that c...

Equally our other strikers get into positions that Vydra doesn’t. As was evidenced by 2 or 3 very good crosses in the first half which weren’t attacked. We get it - you prefer Vydra - but to simplify it into a black and white issue is nonsensical. All of our strikers offer something a little differ...

DomBFC1882

Or when we aren't playing the better sides in this League such as Chelsea or City. Didn't notice this effectiveness last Wednesday. He was excellent today until he got within scoring range - which is the opposite of what you want a striker to do. We don't even try and attack man city and the Chelse...

DomBFC1882

There's no doubt we are miles better to watch with Vyds on the pitch. Also it's no coincidence we also create more chances with him in the team

DomBFC1882

Absolutely superb. Pace, movement, just needs a goal but its coming. Well done Matej

Top man

Hopefully Watkins wins by 1, with wood scoring only 12 in the 18 games...
Everyones happy then and a great charity gets a few quid

Not going well, this bet.

Good job I backed him anytime goalscorer at 2/1. 40% of the way to paying it off.

Long long way to go mate. Congrats on the win today

He might offer a cash out :lol: You might even get about 3/1 offered off a bookie. I dont think you can lose, but you could make 100% sure you dont end up out of pocket. 😂😂 I'd love nothing more than chris wood to score more which is obviously to the benefit of us but I just can't see it at all.

Tottenham are absolutely dreadful. Anyone would think it was a league 2 team defending for their lives against a Premier league side not 2 Premier league sides who are supposedly very closely matched

This is the guy who sadly had cancer isn't it? He makes some great points and so do other posters on this thread.

There's clear bias sometimes, I mean jeez look at that clown robert Jones in the Leeds game and the failure of VAR

That mentality is part of the problem on here, small club, wants to stay a small club etc etc. Step out of the doldrums and into the big wide world. We aren't this small club anymore, we haven't been for a while to be fair, but the mentality of some of you is seemingly going to carry on being that ...

DomBFC1882

I don't think we'll go down this season but don't kid yourself that IF Fulham were to beat us both home and away that gap is down to 2 straight away. Fwiw I don't think we'll lose both but we are by no means a certainty to stay up. An injury to Tarky or Mee would also prove catastrophic.

DomBFC1882

Good luck to them. Its a good football club with a good manager

DomBFC1882

After Brighton's win at Liverpool tonight I think we can say it's now 3 from 4 in respect to who's likely to be going down. Can't see Newcastle not getting sufficient points to stay up. Nor Brighton. The good news is that we have a 8 point cushion to Fulham, 10 to West Brom and 11 to Sheff. United....

DomBFC1882

I have got to say the pure enthusiasm on this board, on both sides of the debate is pretty enjoyable. Difficult times for everyone but at least we are all passionate about something. I guess time will tell with ALK I just wish they were more transparent about what they intend to do with the club an...

I’d throw a couple of midfielders into the requirements as well but I’m just greedy.

Just to add a little bit, here in the states in the PL review we have, they played the segment of SD's conference which was all about look alikeies, that went out to the whole of the states, many Man City fans tuning in, plus others interested in the game. At the end of it there was quite a discuss...

Not to wish to turn this thread into a football one.... but...... If the sum of our summer business is to replace Tarkowski and bring in a right winger, we’ll be struggling again next season. Agreed. We already have a very old squad, when are we going to start bringing the age of it down or god for...

What massive surgery? A winger and a CB (if Tarks goes could be 2),maybe another striker. Hardly massive. If Tarks buggers off and we get a reasonable fee then we have to be shrewd with our spending, that's all. And a right back as we were clearly in for Kenny. That's 4 first team starters. That's ...

My points will work though, with the right people in charge. Small steps, that eventually grow into bigger ones. We didn't have those people, I assume we do now looking at the new owners and people connected to them. It would appear you're looking for a complete breakdown and financial plan for the...

Hard to disagree with that Vegas.

A shot on target would help too considering that's 3 hours of football we've played without one

Kate you have obviously been successful in your field however I think you are comparing apples to pears. Football finance experts are very much of the opinion that it is almost impossible to come into a football club with no real financial backing and it make it successful. The owners look like the...

They then spent virtually a generation outside of the top flight after that absolutely hysterical financial collapse though and still they got more airtime and were talked about more than us when we were in the PL. That's because of decades of narrative being pushed about them being some sort of gi...

Leeds are more well known world wide and more spoken about that Burnley even when Leeds were in the championship. That's because for years the narrative has been pushed that they're a big successful team. The reality is they aren't that successful, but it didn't matter because people believed the h...

I think a lot of the items you’ve mentioned, whilst they would all be great, would predominantly benefit the everyday or visiting fan. That’s certainly no bad thing, but I don’t see it pulling in the sort of sums we are talking about needing to achieve. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t do them a...

Manchester? They don't target Manchester with their marketing campaigns, they don't need to worry about that. They look at the world around them... Think big remember.

I've used examples of two clubs, one who grew it's revenue streams and one who's planning too. Yet you sit there and say its ridiculous, because you're small minded. Leeds have been marketed very well for decades so people automatically think they're a big club with a fantastic history of winning t...

For those at the back of the class who weren't paying attention then.. We have access to a world wide market, yet we have local businesses advertising within TM.

To be fair, I do think that there will be plenty of opportunities out there. I’m sure that a good few of those will be much easier to attain for the likes of Leeds and Man United, so I’m not convinced by that as a comparison.

And it all happens without us spending a penny or costing us anything at all. Simples.

For that I can only find solace in the fact that they are religious men.

The fact of the matter is, the new owners don’t have a penny to there name. Not sure how anyone can say that we will be in a better position than we are now without serious investment.
