The gap between to the leagues looks monumental on this evidence. The quality in passing and athleticism is just leaps and bounds ahead of this. In all seriousness based on watching Ipswich, Southampton and Leeds we really should blow away the championship next season absolutely to the first and I ...

If Leicester are the best the league has to offer we should be walking the league at a canter next year. They are **** poor in the last few weeks I've watched Leeds, Ipswich, Leicester and Saints and haven't been remotely impressed by any of them, but then I have to try and remind myself we drew at...

I like JJ Watt and have since before most people on here had ever heard of him. He's doing a lovely job representing the club. It still seems likely he's being paid to do so, hasn't invested in any meaningful way and it's very definite he has no say in how the club is run. We should enjoy him but w...

I think the pod has found a far better tone recently and the pettiness has for the most part gone, i've really enjoyed the last 3 or 4. Keep up the good work lads.

To elaborate, the question with City is whether they have broken the rules or not - that itself is a massive legal case that will take months/years to decide. And that's before you even get to any punishment. The others have broken the rules - nobody is debating that - the debate is extent of punis...

There's no comparison between City's situation and Everton/Forest/Leicester. Apples and oranges.

bonkers how many haven't cottoned on to the differences and I include loads of the media in that too, they've done such a poor job in conveying it

Recently at my local Aldi they did not stock whole celeries but they did stock "celery sticks" which are very similar but notably more expensive. Clearly the celery sticks are popular so I thought I'd share this simple recipe for celery sticks that you can use at home. It only takes about 2 minutes...

the biggest take from it for me is there is no delusion there, he knows it's a battle, he knows it's hard work and he gives the impression they are up for the fight and it's very much more than a one season in the PL and done thing. Time will tell of course.

Are there really people wealthy enough to invest £10 million in a club that makes no profits, pays no divis and who receive no equity in the business? How come clubs like Everton aren't rolling in it? Surely, they would attract more interest than us. I mean even to JJ Watts £10 million is a lot. Th...

Having seen some of this game on a stream on my phone whilst out for dinner last night, I observed the following: Kane was lucky to stay on the pitch after what seemed a deliberate elbow into the face of Gabriel. He looked round for the defender then raised his elbow. Saka's penalty appeal was a di...

They’ve reinvested terribly, and the changes made to their academy since 2016 have seen PSV and Feyenoord start to bring better quality through.

one of my best mates is a Dutch lad, he's been an Ajax fan for 50 years - he's is fuming about things that have gone on.

I agree with some of what you're saying Vegas but I do think you're oversimplifying it here and downplaying how a proper squad/team with better cohesion & understanding will perform vs one that doesn't. A lot of the players are inexperienced yes but even still they were selected by VK - he didn't h...

I wonder who signed these players that throw away leads and concede at crucial times???

signed 16 last season and it didn't happen. Bucket loads you can throw at VK (like playing Foster on the wing wtf) but player concentration is farcical

Vegas Claret

there is no way we are successful next season if we have a season with just O'Shea and JBG as players who have played more than on season in the Championship. If Brownhill is going we would 100% have to keep hold of Berge imho and I'm not sure we will. As Quicken says above, putting a new team toget...

Massively disagree. The disciplinary record and number of late goals conceded in each half is a huge indictment - it's down to the manager to sort that out and yeah United fans say the same about Ten Hag. One offs are one thing - but when it's a repeat occurrence like it has been for us then imo su...

I think you have been out of the country too long if you think our fan base cause trouble. The working man who caused trouble years ago has been priced out of football. We are very much a family club nowadays. You might get trouble on the Blackburn side as jealousy can stoke hatred, like we had whe...

Certainly not triggered :D I used 'project' metaphorically and somewhat humorously to try and summarise how posters think the outcome of ALK's time with the club will play out, which so far, has been quite a mixed bag.

Ok Vegas, I hope I didn't insult you. Sounds like you weren't used to playing in many winning teams in your playing days 😊.

I don't think we are on the same page here. You don't think the high number of goals we have conceded at the end of both halves has been been a recurrent problem of lack of discipline . I wish it was the odd worldy we were talking about and suspect maybe you haven't played sport much. Apologies if ...

Vegas Claret

Nothing you can do about situations like that but I would say majority of goals we have conceded just before or just after half time have been from our own mistakes same for loads of teams that concede at the end of both halves, Man Utd being the prime example recently.

We will have to disagree about how significant the timing of goals are when looking at a team's discipline

if a 70 million pound footballer sticks a 30 yarder into the top corner in the 44th minute (as a random example) what has that got to do with discipline ?

Vegas Claret

I've no idea to be honest. The club don't readily give out information unfortunately, for example they reported Beyer's was just a loan in summer 2022 and we didn't even confirm Obafemi's permanent signing last summer at all. When Trésor signed I think we just said it was a straight loan but it was...

Certainly I disagreed with the two Oliver reds - when VAR against Zaroury vs City (which was ankle / calf height) and yesterday. I also disagreed with Berge at Villa - incorrect application of the rules booking a player after advantage and a shot. The Foster one was frustration after a refereeing e...
