Good! So when is enough? I'm not sure being appalled by senseless, indiscriminate slaughter of innocent, collateral civilians equates to Palestian support. Nor is it anti semitic, it's just pro human. What was pro human about murdering a 1000 Israelis on Oct 7th . I have a great deal of sympathy fo...

But you have to understand that we've taken back control. The fall in living standards, year on year, is OUR fall in living standards and for that we should be truly grateful. My living standard hasn't fallen, so I'm confident millions of other people's living standards also won't have fallen. Ther...

1. Our other CBs don't run out with the ball in the way Beyer does 2. Whilst VK sets the style of football, players make the decisions on the field about how to execute each phase of the game. The management team can't script and instruct 90 minutes of football. I disagree, mainly because we still ...

Colburn_Claret

Beyer ought to return with a stint on the bench. He's struggled with the physicality of the Premier League massively, and he's lost the ball numerous times in dangerous positions trying to run out with it and getting caught. Before we signed Assignon, there was a strong case of moving him to right ...

very sad news

I got given a tip for yorkshires that I've used for years, don't weigh anything.

Use a cup, mug or recepticle of required quantity.
Fill it with flour add salt, fill it with eggs and mix till you have a smooth thick batter, fill it with milk or milk/splash of water and mix the lot.
Never fails.

Colburn_Claret

Style is irrelevant really, people have their own personal favourite, and as in beef or lamb, there is no right or wrong answer, just a preference. SD was pragmatic enough to choose a style, that would be deliverable by his squad of players. VK on the other hand, and I'm confident we all prefer his ...

No injury is good, but fingers crossed a head injury is less career threatening than a bad leg injury.

Hope you feel better soon Michael

Sadly stretchered off after 17 mins stoppage. It doesn't sound good.

I feel sorry for Trafford, he's been hung out to dry by the manager. Muric deserved to start the season simply because of last seasons performances. Trafford has proved he's a competent shot stopper, but his command of the box is so weak it leaves most fans close to tears. The problem for me is desp...

Colburn_Claret

Really good game, well deserved win, and Tella had a great game.

Colburn_Claret

Weak from Trafford apparently.
Where have I heard that before.

Colburn_Claret

Consistency isn't there, so every chance Ramsey could have a blinder.
I'm not saying he will, just stating you can't judge any of our players on the previous week.

Colburn_Claret

I think it's more city being poor than anything Everton are doing City have had this problem for years. Every so often they throw in a game where they insist on walking the ball into the net. 67% possession and no shots on target is truly awful, yet they never seem to learn the lesson from these bl...

Colburn_Claret

The same problem will surface, mainly consistency. I can imagine teams at the bottom having players sin binned, whilst players from the top 6 get away with it. Just yet another reason to stick it to us. There are already rules in place to deal with dissent, all it takes is referees to implement them...

Colburn_Claret

Last seasons team needed a couple of quality signings to shore up midfield and in front of the defence. The players we bought are good, just not what we needed. There's no evidence we didn't try to fill those rolls, but if we did we failed. People pointing the finger at Beyer and the defence, who ar...

It was only a couple of years ago when people local to me, were being asked to travel 25 miles to find an NHS dentist.

Chelsea have the same problem we do, where are the leaders on the pitch. Loads of talent, but no John Terry to galvanise them.
Buelhy has made a right shambles, isn't it satisfying.

Colburn_Claret

The prices have been kept low for a good many years now, and we are still one of the lowest in the league. I have no problem with an increase, but I worry if people take the view why are we paying more?, instead of how cheap we are compared to most, it will have a negative impact. Parachute payments...

Colburn_Claret

Can you ever remember a Burnley side as poor with a throw in, nobody wants it, we take 20 seconds and throw it straight to the opposition, it’s bizarre Nobody shows for the ball, that's what happens with a team lacking confidence. It's where a good captain/leader earns his coin. He'd be barking out...

Colburn_Claret

It is obvious to me we have talented players, it's also obvious there is a lack of experience at this level.
They will improve in time, too late to save this season, but most of all we need a leader, even more so because of the inexperience.

Colburn_Claret

It really doesn't matter who the starting XI is, we have good players, but a crap team, and no matter how you shuffle the pack, we have no leaders on the pitch, too little experience of this level on the pitch, and not enough nous and composure under pressure. We just need the rest of this season fo...

Colburn_Claret

Delighted with a point in the end, and the new boys showed a lot of promise, but that performance, against a rank Fulham side, was just awful.
Miles away from where we need to be, and that lack of leadership in key moments, and key areas of the pitch will haunt us all season.

Colburn_Claret

Shocking defending, no pressure from our cbs at all.

I'd wish Connor luck, but don't want anything positive for dirty Leeds. He deserves a good move, I just don't see what VK sees and doesn't see in our squad. The good players from last season frozen out, and the usual lack of explanation from the club regarding anything. I'm sure we are all on the sa...

I like Roberts a quality player if not top drawer. Like most players he needs a system that suits his style, and neither Dyche or Kompany have got the best out of him. It's partly why he has always looked better playing for Wales. Last season, against inferior opposition, he fit in well, but this se...

Colburn_Claret

We have some talented players, but we are a **** team. The main problem has been obvious all season, no leaders on the pitch. The loss of Pope, Tarks, Mee, Cork and Barnes leaves no-one to fire these young players up, and gel them. To get another tonking off City is hardly surprising, and shouldn't ...

Getting rid of VAR doesn't stop the bad decisions, it only makes it worse. VAR has provided proof that the only way to stop bad decisions is to get rid of the referees that make them. They have a difficult job, made harder by a bunch of cheating players. And close calls will always create disagreeme...

Russell Martin doing a really good job at Saints. They had a poor start to the season, but they have really turned it around. Swansea fans were really ****** when he left them, and they had some of the best possession stats in last seasons championship. I'm surprised he isn't this season's 'Carrick'...

Speaking as someone who has never suffered from mental health issues, I've grown to believe that part of the issue is an inability to see beyond the problems.

Walking the Dales and Lakes is a passion, people who recommend it for relieving stress are not wrong. Birdwatching, although I've been lacking lately.

He is not good enough for the PL when we need him to be so. A signing that hasn't worked out. I'm sure Kompany and the club are doing everything to make him feel at home but it isn't making a difference No argument he hasn't produced what we expected, or needed, but the league has loads of quality ...

Colburn_Claret

I get the feeling no one dare ask the obvious question!!! The same question applies to several players from last season that won the championship by a country mile. Every manager in the history of the game has given the team that got you promoted an opportunity!! VK knows best 100 hours and they wi...

A credible result against a team that will all likely be vying against Arsenal, Chelsea and City next season.

Forest next up in the league, another tough game, hopefully we can take some positives into it from today.

Maatsen would have been destroyed, as a fullback, in the Prem. Charlie Taylor is an excellent defender. I think Mr Kompany totally misjudged his squad capability and need for the Prem, given he wanted Maatsen badly. This season is down to Mr K decisions. Not a question for you in particular Ian, bu...

Hmm. I agree some of the new signing haven’t worked out but not sure about this argument. In terms of the character, you’d probably put Brownhill as the kind you’re alluding to, yet he was one of the worst players on the pitch tonight. I think things are just amplified because we’ve not being good ...

Ineptitude

Is bumba’s argument here that if the striker wasn’t there, Trafford wouldn’t get to it? The problem with that argument is the striker was there, and he fouled him. So it’s irrelevant whether he’d get to it or not. It’s a clear foul. He fouled him agreed, so Trafford gives up and waits for the whist...

Colburn_Claret

There's no doubt it was a foul, imo the problem is Trafford was so weak that he gives the var an out. If he'd really gone for it and made the foul more obvious it would have been given. It doesn't matter anymore the points have gone, and overall we just weren't good enough. If we had half the battle...
