Game management by NZ in second half was immense.
Excellent game and performance by both teams.

I thought Ireland were very poor. Made far too many mistakes.

Spijed

Ireland have been very sloppy at the line-outs and it's cost them dear so far.

Spijed

3 points back

For a team that's number one in the world Ireland are struggling so far.

Without Kane England look a bit toothless up front.

That's a shame but no surprise, I guess.
Like the "Detectorists", "Ghosts" has a very British subtlety to it as well as the daft stuff.

Could you imagine America trying to re-create the original "Open All Hours"?

Frasier was brilliant - one of the best tv shows in history IMHO. Niles is one of my favourite comedy characters ever. Not sure I will bother with the new show - especially with most of the original cast not involved. I’d rather watch the repeats - I still enjoy them. Cheers was fantastic too - suc...

I like Frasier, and Cheers, but there are loads of good American comedies..Soap was one of my favourites, I'm sure I could come up with a list without trying.

Friends was very good as was the Big Bang Theory.

What's interesting about the decision is you'd think the 3rd Umpire would know the rules regarding the glove not being in contact with the bat when the ball hits it.

The season tickets show that both Spurs & Arsenal have plenty willing to pay the astronomical prices:

Do you have any realistic target suggestions, and perhaps a budget for them?

If we can afford another winger then yes we certainly have plenty to spend.

However, it's utter stupidity to spend on certain areas of the team if other positions are far more pressing.

Spijed

I must admit I don’t know if I buy the whole “took us into Europe” stuff. He took us to the qualifying round and in typical Sean Dyche fashion couldn’t break down weaker opposition who sat behind the ball (Aberdeen) and when we squeaked through, leading into the most important game to take us into ...

Often the case with younger players, still developing physically.

Although Manuel Benson is 26.

We do seem to have quite a few injury prone players.

Was it true that VK said we now have better players Anass Zaroury?

If so, unless he gets some game time he'll probably end up going out on loan and leaving for peanuts.

Spijed

The other thing not mentioned about sides we have played is how few goals they have conceded, e.g. Spurs who are top have conceded only 8 from 8 and we scored a couple of those, whereas Chelsea have conceded even fewer and we scored against them too. We also scored against Villa who have a solid de...

Spijed

Each to their own Tony. I'm not sure it was the worst Chelsea team I've seen but in any event that isn't a low bar given they've been a consistent top 4 or better team in the years we've been playing them. The front 6 Chelsea deployed in the second half was as good as anything anyone other than Cit...

Spijed

Agree with the OP. It's a bit early to be hitting the panic button, however we really do need to cut out the individual errors and stop letting games run away from us when we concede at home. The international break has come at a good time. We've got a big month or two ahead. The question is whethe...

Sheffield United have been shocking, worse than us. No idea where this ‘they have more steel than us’ thing comes from. Can only imagine the reaction on here if Newcastle put 8 past us at the Turf. At least we’ve been creating chances (before yesterday anyway). Incidentally, Souza was getting absol...

Spijed

Looking at previous seasons, we'd averaged over a point per club against those in the top half, basically taken around 12 points from the top ten at least.

Norwich got nil.

Unless we start to put points on the board against the top half clubs it's pretty much impossible to stop up.

Spijed

My main problem is Chelsea lost to Forest, drew with Bournemouth and had only scored 7 goals prior to this game and they battered us. It's easy and understandable to say we aren't going to get points against these sides but we aren't even close to getting results against them, only United we probab...

Spijed

Simply put yes I admit but the actual challenge is there. So far the results at Forest and Luton show we can live with these teams. We will also get points against some of the others as well so its not just 48 points to play for. 40 points target for safety (although I cant see Sheff U Luton or Bou...

Spijed

You may have misunderstood me. It should have been clear that the "gap" I am referring to is the size of club. not our on-field performances. We may have grown as a club, but the top teams have grown way more. We've spent around 90 million. Since new owners took over, Chelsea have spent over a bill...

:lol: What a clown. What Dyche achieved was similar to a Pulis at Stoke. People like yourself were actually believing that Dyche is better manager than the likes of Rafa Benitez. How deluded. Dyche has only ever won a minor league title and came runner up that it. He’s won sweet f**k all and never ...

We’re currently 3 points off Brentford in 14th. Few genuine (hypothetical) questions. What position would you have us in if we’d had Everton’s opening fixtures? Would we be 3 points better off than now? Do you think there would still be a narrative around how s*** we are if we had those said fixtur...

But Roy had earned the right to be England manager. Southgate never has.

He got the job because no decent manager wanted it.

Surely somewhere there must be the footage of the buildup to our 2nd goal? I don’t know what the tv directors are thinking of when they show endless replays rather than cutting back when play restarts. It happens all the time that incidents are missed this way. The difference here seems to be that ...

I thought our main business model was to now sell players for a decent profit? Regardless of the rights and wrongs of whether a player should be picked or not, we certainly aren't going to be making decent profits on players who spend more times on the sidelines than on the pitch, especially with th...

I just hope people are paying attention, Benson and Zaroury took a good while to settle, Foster has now settled and looks more than comfortable at this level - the future for us is very bright however long it takes, we have some seriously talented players. At this moment in time out of the three pl...

I think fans enjoy the pantomime situation of how players behave a times, probably one of the reasons why football is more popular than any other sport. However, if football is desperate to clean up its image then it should look at the sanctions issued in Rugby Union. I suspect if a player/players w...

Fulham were awful, Palhinha should be asked to explain his 2nd half by the manager this morning. Spent 45 minutes pointing to others where to pass the ball, ran away from the ball himself and avoiding tackles. Palhinha is the key for Fulham. They must hope they get enough points by the time they se...

Fulham don't look very good and they don't have the goalscorer this season.

Palhinha will be a massive loss for Fulham if he goes in January as expected.

From 12th downwards they look most likely to contest the relegation spots. Can't see either Palace or West Ham being anywhere near.
