This thread is bloody brilliant

People keep banging on about Carney - he played 90 mins midweek before the WH game.

Only the elite will get this reference

Slightly off topic but Liam Rosenior was the best footy analyst and pundit they had. Most of the time, I'd completely agree with what he was saying. Saw a lot from him when he was analysing our Championship games. He'd be better then Souness. But Sky know this, and want the fans to have a reaction to him.

He just came back from Brazil a few days ago - probably quarantining?

Lets not overestimate how good PL fullbacks are - apart from the top 4/5, are they really that good? The more better/tricky players we have, the less the attention they'll give Grealish. No more 'doubling up' on him without leaving gaps and exposing themselves in other areas of the pitch. Buying someone like Benrahma, who is pacey, will make opposition full backs think twice about supporting their own attacks attacks because they could get exposed on the counter. Benrahma on a one on one situation will more then likely come out on top a lot more then not.

Some of you are being very negative. This guy absolutely has the quality to step up. A few of you might have only seen Benrahma's performances in the last few weeks - but he has been brilliant throughout the season. It has been a long season and even though the COVID break happened, when he came back he was still ripping it in the league. He really is in the 'Mahrez' fold - quick, great footwork, and an eye for goal and can assist. If him and Grealish and one other from Buendia, Eze, Rashica, etc mixed in with Dougie and McGinn - wow what a midfield we'd have.

Just bought Origins about 2/3 weeks ago for a tenner on Amazon. So far, it's been brilliant. I think I'm about 60% of the way through the main quests. The map is huge, and when I finally got to Giza to see the Pyramids it was class.

I did. Great performance by Garcia!

The lads should make more effort with our Freddy! He's a proper lad. Really funny on social media as well. Interacts all the time.

Rather then a big 10 year old?

For speed and ability on the ball alone, I'd up Konsa above Hause. Hause is a monster in the air tho.

Some of you guys are crazy! The full blooded challenges and determination alone is worth his inclusion in the team alone. He's a valued member of the team. Defensively I think he is quality - offensively his final ball needs to be worked on. Remember this is his first season in the PL - let him adjust.

Spoke to him before kick off - confirmed he's back in training and will be available very soon. Chelsea would be my guess.

Think he was a replacement for McGinn, and a gamble. It hasn't paid off so far but he still has a part to play. He'll be our 4th choice DCM/CM along with Hourihane so will be rotated with Nakamba, Luiz and McGInn.

Put him next to Nakamba and a fully fit, confident McGinn and our midfield will be so much better. Only 2 weeks to go before McGinn is back.

Sorry mate - but there are no facts that show Fury is a bigger draw in the world then AJ. Look at this fights against Otto Walin, Schwarz, and Pianeta just to see how much a draw he is. Poor viewing figures, even when some of them are on ESPN+. Even the first fight against Wilder did about 220k-250k buys, in the US.

What? Mate you really are deluded LOL. If you think Fury brings more audience then AJ Worldwide then that is a joke. His win over Wilder has brought in viewers - but lets not get it twisted, Boxing isn't even one of the US' biggest sports. It's probably number 7 or 8 of their sports. Wilder isn't even that well known in the US.

Now people are complaining that one of our most influential players actually demands his team-mates do their best, and takes charge? WOW. Some of our fans deserve relegation LOL.

He isn't though? AJ is the cash cow. In any fight between AJ and Fury, AJ will be the A-Side and will probably get more, although in this case it should just be 50/50 for the biggest boxing fight in British history. AJ Made £65m for his last fight - Fury and Wilder made approx $20/25m each. in terms of PPV sales, I'm pretty sure AJ is the only British fighter to break the 1m PPV buys multiple times in the last 15 years or so.

His anticipation is brilliant so doesn't need to make tackles. Love the big man. What a player.

Buy out clause was if we got relegated.

Absolutely spot on.
