Everton supposedly came within a day of breaching FFP based on the 3-year cycle required of it. Only by selling Richarlison the day they did did they escape. A loan with an obligation to buy in the next financial year makes total sense for them. Gives them a year to get organised. As we appear not t...

I've seen some grievances expressed on the approach to build-up play VK most likely hopes to apply to the team, with some on here outright dismissing it — namely, building up from the back, or 'tippy-tappy'. We've been having this discussion in football since Spain and Barcelona of a decade ago popu...

Hopes Attack, attack, attack attack attack! Fears Very young team wholly collapsing in confidence if the atmosphere in the stands becomes toxic because it doesn't click right away. Men against boys, that sort of thing. This very forum if we're in a relegation scrap by the World Cup break. I'm lookin...

Gravity isn't a force, it describes the effect of mass disturbing the space/time continuum thus given acceleration...isn't it? I've heard it described as a pseudoforce, much like how there's no centrifugal force acting on inert objects but becomes apparent to certain observers when objects move in ...

Thanks Spiral. I suppose that is where I struggle though. We know that water boils at 99.97 degrees because we can see that and measure it. But we can’t possibly know whether any planet, our planet, or the sun could or could not explode. We can give a balance of probabilities I guess based on our m...

You say that but we can’t be 100% certain can we. As humans, we have created lots of mathematical formulae to confirm our hypothesis, but this is just beyond our human comprehension isn’t it? I know I probably sound like flat earther 😄 but I don’t see how we can possibly say that we know for certai...

The life cycle of all types of star can be reduced to and described mathematically. Our Sun doesn't carry enough mass to supernovae (go kablam!!!). It's physically impossible. We're safe from that! These images are unreal. The first image revealed, the one that's absolutely everywhere, is a deep-fie...

Watched him playing for Ireland the last couple of years, neat, tidy,keeps things simple, moves the ball quickly, a good pro, should do well in the championship, I think we've done good business As far as athleticism is concerned how does he compare to Jack Cork, particularly the Cork of a few seas...

I'm just hoping to be entertained this season. Results are what they are. I've no clue how this season is going to pan out because I've literally never heard of half of the lads we've signed. I'd be surprised if we were around the play-offs. Were we to have done what we did the last time we were rel...

Schedule wise we're gonna be the Man UTD of the Championship. Was looking forward to this season to get away from all that nonsense.

Woah. Hope we're scouting some of those boys. Be irresponsible not to.

It was Bastien, you see him at the end.

Just because a player is 22 doesn’t mean he gets better.

Not necessarily, no, but on the other hand we seem to have based the entire recruitment policy on the assumption that many indeed do.

Spiral

As a team we were 13th for big chances missed last season. We also hit the woodwork 15 times. Only Chelsea, Leeds, Arsenal and City hit the woodwork more. And on the big chances missed stat, like the hitting the woodwork stats, it's noticeable that the teams who missed more are far more offensive th...

It’s the music they play on The Turf when the teams come out . No idea what it’s called though.

Aye, recognised it from the walk-out music. It's like a boring Kasabian imitation, but whatever. It's not a big deal. The Arcade Fire one was better though.

Spiral

It's not Stone Cold's music or indeed Kane's music, which I think was the original internet meme. I don't think memes-like clips infringe on copyright, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

Spiral

Bah Gawd, that's Stone Cold's music!

Spiral

This seems mad to me. But there's a point to bringing this up. We're bringing in a lot of young lads and we're hoping they develop as players, help bring us success etc. I've been resigned to losing Cornet almost definitely, and of the others we have Brownhill, McNeil, and Collins, at least two of w...

It's a real job.

To be fair there's a reason Weghorst's misses are focussed on more than Cornet's. It's because Cornet has a lot more credit in the bank than WW due to being our top scorer last season, averaging roughly 1 goal every 3 compared to WW's roughly 1 in 10, doing a lot of that work from the wing, costing ...

His miss at Villa cost us massively - no wonder Roberts made a remark to him With perspective, now the post-mortem is done, relegation looks to have been the inevitable conclusion to a steady, long drawn out period of decline, perhaps the 10th place finish in 2019/20 papering over the cracks in the...

You know what, if we really do put out a 6-9-4-2 formation this season I reckon we're in for a good shout of making the play-offs.

I can see a scenario where he returns in 12 months if we get promoted, and I’d like to see that happen as he’s a goalscorer with a good record before coming to us. I’d like to see what he could do in a confident team playing in a way that opens up defences more frequently. If we are promoted this s...

Looked a fairly good buy in his first few games for us, especially so considering the general assumption that players usually improve as they settle and bed in to the team. Went the other way with him. Useless beanpole by the end of it. His moping about at Watford was about as poor an attitude as I'...

Amazing performance from Kendrick. He's always cold with the audience, so if you're used to your acts licking the crowd's arse in between every song then the overall performance might seem jarring, but that's the way he performs. It's deliberate. They don't speak to the audience in between movements...

I've been to Glastonbury 7 times and I've never felt like it was aimed at young people in particular.

Just enjoy Glatonbury for what it is F...

Right, coz the majority of us (barring one or two exceptions) have played nice and not dunked too much on old people music on the thread, you need to play nice and not criticise young people music when Kung Fu Kenny's on tomorrow, deal?

I'd like a bet on that. Grunge around in 60 years. Problem I wont be and probably you wont. Where have you got the notion of sneeriing at what you call new music? The Stones don't need to release anything new. They just pack out wherever they are playing because their music has longevity. People th...

Can't wait for this season. Not been this excited to watch Burnley for a good while. I just hope the fans don't jump on his back if we aren't around the play-offs at Christmas.

There is no such thing as any power that the institution of the Monarchy has over any of us. There hasn't been since Oliver Cromwell. We all have the power within us to change our lives.

If you don't want people to have power over you, then you have anarchy. No government, no police. Not for me. This is a complete misrepresentation of the argument.
