Didn’t think Joel seemed that quick tbh. Once he got his legs sorted and had a 5 or 10 yard run at it he WAS quick. But then again he was up against Richard Keogh! When we came up with Andre (who to us seemed rapid) in the first few games someone like Jonny Evans or Richard Huth coasted up alongside...

Stats I saw had Vydra around 1/160 odd with Wood at over 1/400. Might not be PL stats alone but you can only go off actual games played. As for Barnes, he wasn’t even in the runnng. Vydra should be playing. Have to factor in the quality of minutes played. Wood starts we’ve had all week for a plan p...

Austin will always score goals, There were questions over his legs when we had him! It’s just about at what level he’ll score them and with who. Proven finisher who will use his nous and become a bit more of a “goal hanger” Any team that consistently gets the ball in the danger area and doesn’t rely...

The last 5 years has seen a shift in focus regarding the younger players. They will skip the old route now of college and mls and go straight to academies and teams in Europe. This wasn’t encouraged until Klinnsman took over the national team. He basically said you’re never going to be any good unle...

I used to look forward to when they brought out the new fold up poster each year with all the new teams and kits and I’d pore through it seeing who was what. When I was 8 it was limited, there’d be about 20 teams worldwide for white shirts black shorts. When I eventually gave up it had reached 800, ...

I think that both Son and Gareth Bale are better footballers than Kane. Not necessarily as effective (although you can’t really argue about Bale’s credentials) but better players nonetheless. You’re probably right that Harry Kane would get into most teams in the world, though, because he is very ef...

People complain about refs nowadays, but some of the bookings Doug Collins received to reach his suspension were farcical.

Thanks Doug!

Played for the Morris Dancers on a Sunday for a couple of seasons after I moved back up here. Left the house at 0930 and sometimes made it home for tea - though always after the pub (we got a donation from the pub for every pint the footy team bought to be used at the end of season party).

Well Hidden’s going to have to wait because I started watching this Spiral last night from the beginning and I’m hooked already

CharlieinNewMexico

Glennon to start. And I’ve a weird feeling Mancini will too

CharlieinNewMexico

Watching Shaqiri today. He’s had 10 minutes of premier league footie all year. I don’t know if it was messageboard speculation before but surely he’d fill a number of roles and we could be crafty with the wages like we did with Joe Hart.

CharlieinNewMexico

I’ve tried to watch Hidden a couple of times but something about the casting or script or story opening has put me off. Should I try again?

CharlieinNewMexico

I remember he got in the way a few times at Leeds too. Once I swear he was going to do that cocky through the legs thing but backed off when Westwood was screaming at him

Sean is going nowhere. He's just got new owners who have promised some cash. He has made Burnley "his". Why move to Palace or Newcastle? Lunacy ! :shock: I wonder about SD though. His stock is as high as its ever going to get right now. What if ALK gives him money and he doesn’t spend it well? What...

CharlieinNewMexico

You clearly have never played the game. Yes players cheat, but if you’re moving at pace, the slightest of touches on one leg ensures it hits the other and down you go. Which is exactly what happened to Pogba. I played for 50 years and most of the adult ones at semi pro or “boot money” level. But ap...

CharlieinNewMexico

Pogba got tripped. A clear penalty. People saying he tripped himself up are talking nonsense. The same happened to Wood last season (I forget which game) where the slightest of touches knocked his left leg against his right. No penalty was given. Players don’t trip themselves up as a rule. Players ...

This table would be far worse since VAR More than ever it seems ... You need a goal ? Instigate contact, fall down, roll around. Or dangle a leg, step in front to get a tap.

I think our new investors will define the word shrewd. People seem to think that because of the data analysis link we’ll be buying lots of untried moneyball potential.

So you kind of have a self-created clique in PGMOl. Yes it makes things simpler to have all the “alleged” elite refs under one umbrella as far as scheduling and skills training and fitness performance but nobody in that set up (IMO) is going to contradict his co-worker. This is the failure, in gener...

He did the old “click my heels together” trick. Contact does not = foul. The defender barely grazed his calf.

CharlieinNewMexico

That's where VAR should come into it's own, but as we know to our cost they rarely intervene and overrule the officials. Right? that one today and the one he gave to Arsenal against Chelsea to me both the same kind of thing and both “clear and obvious” errors. But they just cover up for each other....

Midweek game at Burnden, think is was the Leyland DAF Trophy in the mid 80s? we scored up the other end but we had no idea until our players ran back to us celebrating and answering questions of “who scored”

Some background : Hatch is a town 30 miles north of here on the banks of the Rio Grande which provides the water for 1000s of growing acres of these giant chiles.
