The way VAR is implemented is the frustrating thing for me. When one of the so-called "smaller" clubs want VAR to intervene they don't seem to even look at it or dismiss it quickly to go with the onfield decision, but when it's one of the big teams needing the help of VAR they almost always get it,...

VAR got all the decisions right unfortunately. Hard to argue it's biased against us when they could have easily not overturned the penalty in the first half Have you seen the Chelsea v Fulham VAR debacle yet? Regardless of our game today, can you honestly say that VAR has solved the problem it was ...

Ampth7

The problem with VAR is that is not doing what it was created to do. I thought VAR was meant to eradicate human error, pick up things the ref didn’t see and stop inconsistent decision making by officials…….. We used to just have MOTD pundits picking apart poor ref decisions and now we have MOTD pund...

Anthony, what were you thinking!!!!

Just what is the point in selecting Henderson? He’s gonna be nowhere near the starting X1 in the World Cup Finals, staged in 3 hot countries. Just baffling. The heat will ultimately kill us along with just about every other nation that is not used to playing in these conditions. Exercising in extre...

If Kane gets injured there is a massive drop off in quality in the rest of the forward line.

Watkins is very good to be fair, but beyond that we are short of options…….

Longer term, someone like Delap might be an option, but the here and now suggests we are short of strikers.

Jordan Horrendouson?? Why???

Ampth7

Šeško is a player with great potential. He's tall, strong, fast and technical. However, he's gone to the wrong club. You may well be right, however, from what I saw yesterday he didn’t look quick at all, the ball seemed to bounce off him and he looked miles off it! Hopefully this continues this com...

Their new £70m striker didn’t even have the bottle to take a pen in the first 9! Embarrassing!

He looked awful throughout tbh! Looks like a donkey to me….

On another note, could they be without a manager by the time Saturday comes around?

Ampth7

United are an utter shambles! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for them………

Rangers players must really want Martin to stay as their manager, they're putting in a superb performance .

Rangers tonight and Celtic last night further proves just how poor Scottish football is nowadays!

Ampth7

It’s not as though they have put out a weaker team either! Utterly bizarre! I don’t understand why they’ve spunked £200 million on forward players when they have nothing in midfield?!?! Casemiro was finished 2 years ago FFS!!

Can we get 8 points from our next 8 games? 16/08/25: Tottenham (A) - 0pts 23/08/25: Sunderland (H) - 3pts 30/08/25: Man United (A) 14/09/25: Liverpool (H) 20/09/25: Nottm Forest (H) 27/09/25: Man City (A) 05/10/25: Aston Villa (A) 18/10/25: Leeds (H) 26/10/25: Wolves (A) 01/11/25: Arsenal (H) Crike...

I know it’s a bit of a cliche, but let’s see where we are after 10 games before we make any judgements. On the very limited evidence so far, we played okay at Spurs and we had a good second half against Sunderland. Last night told us nothing in my opinion but it was useful to get game time into the ...

Means a great evening and super weekend now, I’m not surprised with the result. Read comment on Sunderland re result, few had it as difficult, but draw or 0-1, quite a few had it as 0-3, delusional after last week!

Makes you think how poor West Ham are!

Ampth7

Terrific result and definitely needed! 9/10 more wins required, so today was vital! Second half we were class!!

Twine scores for Bristol City. 1-0 up at Derby.

Growing into a good championship player isn’t he? Good luck to the lad; you can’t fault his attitude including when he couldn’t get a look in with us.

Ampth7

I wouldn’t normally say this, especially so early in the season, but I think tomorrow is already a must win game for me. Realistically, to stand a chance of survival we will need to win 10-12 games across the season and if we can’t beat a team that finished miles behind us last season then I’m not s...

Ampth7

For me the thing that p****s me off the most with officiating at the top level is the vast lack of consistency from one game to the next! It’s ridiculous really, and inevitably leaves supporters wondering if their team is being unfairly treated whilst the big boys often seem to get away with it.

Ampth7

Sadly, players and their agents have far too much power! Gyokeres did the same earlier this summer using the ‘Gentleman’s agreement’ nonsense as an excuse to basically refuse to do his bloody job for which he is handsomely paid! Admittedly, professional football is unique in the sense that employers...

Ampth7

I think we can all agree that any further signings need to focus on raising standards and not merely squad fillers.

Centre back, centre mid and a quality acquisition for the final third please, with centre mid and a forward player being the priorities for me.

Ampth7

I know this is not a football related thread, but did anyone else just watch Itauma dismantle Dillian Whyte? Unbelievable talent is this lad and hits like a train!

Don’t worry, give it 3 weeks and nobody will enforce this new rule. Honestly, the FA are an absolute s**tshow and couldn’t organise a p**s up in a brewery!

Just watched the MOTD Premier League preview. All pundits have Sunderland down as the highest league finish of a newly promoted team.

Sounds good to me! Those useless tools have no idea what the hell they are talking about!

where has this info come from ? I've not seen it reported or discussed anywhere tbh (I could have easily missed it though)

You would imagine that after such a bad injury that he is likely to suffer other injuries as he continues to recover/rebuild fitness. I just hope the knee is okay……

Ampth7

Got to be honest I was one of them that couldn’t see how that team that breezed the Championship with such bravado under VK would not make a top half finish. Such was my optimism and belief that I put huge money (£10) on a cheeky top 6 finish. Anyway surely going to be a big week this coming week f...

Ampth7

Whichever way Parker goes, I think the main thing will be to not fall into this trap of playing out from the back at all costs leaving clubs like Southampton on 12 points!

Judging by last season, I think we generally had this balance right and I’m sure this will continue into this season.

Ampth7

I hope not - I thought he was dreadful today. Sloppy passing and bullied off the ball - especially for their goal. Before the subs I thought we looked decent - especially playing 5 at the back for the first time. We created a lot more in the first half than I thought we would in a 5-4-1 - bodes wel...

Ampth7

Really pleased with our transfer approach, this window. A mixture of youth and experience, some potentially exciting prospects and targeting key areas. I’ve lost count of the number of previous windows when, despite decent signings, there has always looked to be a glaring void in one area of the pi...

Has Tresor played in any pre-season games so far?

Ampth7

Funny creatures Burnley fans. The number pining for Tresor to be given a chance whilst players who actually got us up like Hannibal are gladly cast aside as no longer good enough for us before a ball is even kicked! Wonderful motivation for putting a shift in and doing well. I thought Hannibal real...

Old Trafford.

Speaking of Utd, I see they have somehow managed to find the thick edge of a 1/4 of a billion to buy 3 players this summer?! I thought they were going out of business last Christmas unless they sacked all their kitchen staff and receptionists?

No matter what job or career path you take, you can't do your best unless you are happy. Happiness is all down to appreciating what you've got. Far too many people, and footballers just don't appreciate what they've got. Indeed! It’s a human condition whereby we can’t help but wonder is the grass g...

What ****** us last time, or certainly played it's part, is that there was "no room for sentiment". The lot that got us up were either not signed or cast aside and we were starting PL matches with at points less than half the team that got us up. We do have to iterate, and we do have to sign better...

Ampth7

Disrespectful to the club and fans , why not just keep your mouth shut . I’m not sure I agree. I do understand your sentiment, however, I think it’s a good thing that the players we are signing are ambitious enough to want to play at the highest level possible. In fairness to him, he talks positive...

I have a sneaky feeling that Man U will be much stronger this season…….

Ampth7

Because in midfield he is considerably better than anything else we have. In the ten or potentially even deeper for a free transfer on relatively low wages seems like quite a low risk deal Was better than anything we have. Sorry, but he’s a busted flush with retirement being his next port of call. ...

Wolves and Brentford may be a part of the relegation mix this year. Bournemouth look like they have been gutted with numerous players sold but I think they will be okay as they appear to have an excellent manager and recruitment team.

I think that’s the best point to be made CT - past records really so count for very little for the vast majority of players. How many times have we seen people light up a season, get a big move and then never hit those heights again? Likewise a player who has bounced around clubs, never done much a...
