Swindon

Back from the game, and well, i dont quite know what to say about that...... First things first..... last minute winners away from home in the cup are bloody epic, and I dont care who it was against, but moments like that are what football addicts out of us. Absolutely fan-bloody-tastic, the away end went mental. More rationally, we look very at home at this level. Defensively we are just a joke. Comical really. First half we played OK, we contained the expected rush early on, put

Not Good Enough

Well, that wasn't very pretty, was it? I wrote on twitter that I felt uncomfortable about being outplayed (and we were very outplayed) by Norwich. Alan Hansen reportedly described our performance as embarrassing, and while i dont usually have much time for the miserable sweaty, on this occasion he was right. it was embarrassing. I dont do knee jerk reactions, and while I remain confident that we will come through this, I'm not *quite* as confident as I was before. For me, what has changed

Tic Tacs

Welcome to "Deadly Doug ate my hamster". I hope you enjoy .... feel free to interact :-) So, I was watching Chelsea on the old telly box at the weekend, and I think I've seen the future, or the present, or something, of where Lambert wants to take Villa - and I notice Aston Villa Review agrees with me, although I'll need to listen to the podcast to find out why .. I am listening as I type, so will let you know..... Chelsea are, albeit at a very different level, going through the same kin

    • Manchester City have bought at least 3 £50m+ fullbacks, but Klopp with TAA and Robertson for a combined £8m should have done better really. Because of course they were the TAA and Robertson we know now back when they made their debuts. I've always disliked Liverpool, but sometimes you have to hold your hands up and give credit where it's due.
    • Any Ekstraklasa fans? There's been lots of talk of Sinisalo having a  good season, but Zych seems to have become guaranteed starter for Puszcza, Ekstraklasa seems to be about Championship level I'd think, definitely better than League 1 I think, just judging on Polish results in Europe lately. Hopefully another promising keeper 
    • They've just bought the world cup in plain sight and nobody seems to care
    • I will be 8 pints deep minimum so will be a one man 'welcome to hell' 
    • I'm not sure why you're cherry picking a handful of examples and ignoring overall spend which is a better metric, but even so let's look at some of these. - TAA: Academy player who Klopp started playing from the age of 17. Not sure what you're getting at here. You realize when you mention players that cost nothing or very little you're making the argument in favour of Klopp right? - Robertson was a top fullback at *checks notes* Hull City and moved for a then world record fee of *turns page* £8m? That one? - Salah/Mane/Firmino: You're right, nothing needs to be said about turning a Chelsea reject slowly turning his career around in Series A, a promising young player from Hoffenheim and a good but inconsistent player from Southampton, for £30m a pop into one of the greatest front 3's in PL history. If there was something to be said I can only imagine it would be in Klopp's favour. You can go through the other 5 clubs above them in spending (maybe not City), and cherry pick way more examples of very experience signings, both good and bad. To put it in perspective, they've only spent roughly £300m more than us in the time Klopp was there. And we spent 3 of those years in the Championship! This is the same amount that Arsenal spent more than them, and yet they have been much more successful than Arsenal, and lightyears away from us. How is this possible? Is it magic?
    • Meh, pretty sure sky sports were randomly adding on about £10m to what we paid for Pau for no good reason too 
    • I think Olise will get a move before Eze, not that Eze is a bad player but Olise is younger
    • Interesting law changes in the MLS. Would be good if the Premier League did the same.  
    • first 70 minutes was played two weeks ago and Ndicka collapsed so the game was called off. Finishing the last 20 minutes now, it happens in Spain and Italy
    • It was suspended when originally played after 72 mins due to players injury. They are playing the remaining 18 mins tonight. Apparently Italian rules state the whole game doesn’t get replayed
