Mission accomplished. Nice one.

Enola Gay

Said this when Tuchel was appointed, his contract runs out after the World Cup.

He’s not there to bring through a generation of English talent, he’s there to win a trophy. Specifically, the next trophy. And it’ll be his chosen horses-for-courses up until he’s either a) won that trophy or b) failed.

Enola Gay

Maybe he's the reason we were happy to let Koleosho out on loan.

Enola Gay

Overreaction? Absolutely not. Nothing better than celebrating a goal but now we are drowned out by that stupid Norwich City crap. The 'overreaction' was mainly a reaction to goal music somehow being an affront to our history. As said elsewhere we've done it plenty of times before with (as far as I ...

Awkward..

Cant watch the video as I don’t have TikTok but if it’s the ‘absolute crap is this’ video I’ve seen elsewhere it’s only really awkward for the whingearse complaining about having to walk an extra minute or so to his seat.

All just fluff really though innit, matchday experience is dependent on what happens on the pitch, I just turn up for that and do one at the end.

In as much as I noticed a difference getting out of the JML on Saturday as opposed to last season, it's that the denser crowd you always get at the pinch point by the club shop now starts a fair bit earlier.

That's all it is though; a bit busier by the exit I normally use.

Enola Gay

Ah, the old 'downed tools' argument. No recognition that by the time he left he was probably running on fumes after two seasons without a break due to the Tokyo Olympics, and no recognition of the fact that by the time he left we'd pretty much abandoned playing football or creating chances in favour...

Is there anything in this Anan Khalaili link on X ? Another winger... I get the idea that you can't always sign the players in the positions you need when you want them, and sometimes you'll sign a player you want for a position you don't need to fill just because they're available. But this late i...

Let’s face it, if it stuck rigidly to the topic title this thread would be in page 3 or 4 by now. Keep 3-4 pages of what the thread's about and lose the 4-5 pages of the usual suspects repeating their tired old arguments? Not seeing the problem, to be honest. * By the way, I'm aware of the irony of...

Enola Gay

It's a shame if he is going because his pace would absolutely be an asset. Against that though, the last few times I've seen him he's pretty much defined 'flatters to deceive' and he looks like if you put him in the middle of the Bonneville Salt Flats he'd still find a blind alley to run into. Which...

Looking likely Foster will be the UTC MOM yet he's subject to the usual UTC unpopularity and singled out by many. There were far worse than him on Saturday yet they are free from criticism. Logged in to post something very similar, tbh. Anyone who can look at Saturday and think Foster was the (or r...

Not enough quality.

Enola Gay

SHOOT FFS!

Enola Gay

Doesn't look like we haven't quite lost that habit of putting ourselves in trouble by giving the ball away in dangerous positions...

Enola Gay

We've got into some decent positions but the lack of quality is killing us.

Well, that and that one moment where we switched off at the back.

All very familiar, tbh.

Harsh on Ekdal for the goal because Walker is stood next to him and sees the play unfolding and is actually facing play

And then Richarlison stepped off Walker and he didn't react.

Enola Gay

I thought today's team would be pretty much the same as the one that started against Lazio.

Hopefully we've at least got an upgrade in goal, though.

Brussels sprouts should be properly cooked, throughly seasoned, drizzled with oil and then served lovingly arranged in the folds of a freshly-opened bin bag.

Hmmm... So if I'm remembering all this right, the ECB invented T20 but forgot to lock down the rights to it and everyone else went off and made millions from the idea. To rectify this they invented the Hundred as a separate franchise-based thing to sideline those annoying counties who seem to think ...

I'll be quite surprised if our team for Spurs isn't the team we saw start against Lazio.

If the Government had any care for British sporting institutions, this is where it would be stepping in. If they can seize Chelsea off Roman's hands, they can take bastards off Venky's and Pasha's hands. The idea that Blackburn's death-by-a-thousand-self-inflicted-cuts is in any way comparable to t...

When the Walker Trust said they weren't going to fund Rovers the way Jack Walker had the Shadsworth massive had two choices. Firstly (and to be honest, less likely) they could have accepted the new financial reality and settled back into their pre-sugar daddy position of doing not-very-much in the o...

You should only require 5% knowledge of Mohammed Bin Salman and the atrocities he is responsible for to realize that there is nothing good in the PIF fund - he's the Chairman of it.

Captains don’t simply not turn up for training even if they are out of contract. If the contract was still being considered/discussed, then he’d be on the training ground right now. Are you serious? He’s not our captain any more . He’s not even still our player. We’re not paying him. Why in the nam...

Enola Gay

Thanks for using two pre-season quotes from me to justify your argument re: Trafford in the Premier League. No he wasn’t shocking. He had some difficult games and Kompany hung him out too dry. Then we got Muric back and we saw some proper poor goalkeeping. Not sure why this all has to do with the t...

Newcastle are getting annoying. They want ridiculous money for their players and want clubs to sell to them cheap.

Same as every other club in world football then. Including us…

Nice move for him, he can stay close to his families.

Enola Gay

Not as convinced as everyone else seems to be about this. For me we needed two strikers in this window. Having re-signed Barnes I still think we need two strikers in but we’ve now one fewer space in the squad to fit them in. He’s got form for proving people wrong, but signing people because they’re ...

We’re signing a promising young keeper and people are whining that his introductory interview might have been naff. Peak UTC.

Reminds me of George Michael’s reaction to getting harangued by Paul Weller at Band Aid.

I really enjoyed Tony Cascarino's autobiography ghosted by Paul Kimmage. It was a good account of a decent but not top player including earnings and personal life I’d definitely recommend the Cascarino book. “In My Head, Son” by Pat Nevin is well worth a read as well. For more general books I’d go ...

IMO I think CJR. is probably thinking he isnt good enough for the Premier League yet, and to be exposed next season , would not be in his best long term interests.

Agree with the poster above, it’s fine for football but the amplification of the far-right and Musk dickriders combined with the frankly laughable amount of ads for crypto/AI/dropshipped garbage make the rest of it pretty much a cesspit.

Dave Williams was the first keeper I ever saw kick the ball from one penalty area to the other without it bouncing. Awesome.

Which in the teams he'll have been playing in probably made him on of our best attacking options.
