Re: Do we still attribute ‘Europe’ to our poor start to the season?

The thing is away in Europe we were making changes but most of the squad travelled, and it's this that knackers them, not so much the playing. We'd have been better off playing a more settled side in all the games or leaving rested players at home, of course our poor summer recruitment meant we didn...

Not going to come back on the rest of your post as it's been covered so often, but I wouldn't put much weight on the "£39 billion" argument that Davis and members of the ERG have claimed, (but not the govt.). There's a strong legal argument that says that we owe it so we pay it - whether we have a ...

Re: Barnes and Wood

I don't dislike Hendrick in that role, but I think it's a more natural fit for McNeil. In his short career with us he's shown an ability to get into goal scoring positions, intelligent movement between the lines to find space and an ability to keep the ball moving with his back to goal.

We're not owed anything. Even Sean Dyche says these things even out over a season.
