  1. Just saw his quotes that he rates Emery alongside Klopp and Guardiola as the best in the world and how much he’s improving his game. That’s a great statement from someone who hasn’t even been playing much.
  2. Yeah you’re probably right about two more wins - United very unlikely to go 2ppg from now!
  3. I think 10 more points gets us 5th, 13-14 more for 4th…
  4. Gap from us to them is 11 points, gap from us to the top - as a comparison to how this looks to their fans right now versus to us - is only 5. Obviously both could/will shift with games in hand but even if they had that as a guaranteed win I don’t think they will make up 8 points to us in 8 games.
  5. I think he would have done if needed - he knocked in the follow-up just in case but I wouldn’t be worried about any sort of striker’s instinct from him - his issue before today has been deciding NOT to shoot sometimes, and it was great to see him linking play more
  6. He’s absolutely class. So disruptive
  7. Unpopular opinion I know, but I think he’s a lovely player.
  8. UEFA coaches meeting in a couple of weeks, solid chance it changes after that. Southgate thinks it will. 90% of countries apparently supportive.
  9. I think it’ll end up a squad of 26 and at that point both might sneak in.
  10. And to be fair while the pundits on TV were poor for this, the papers I saw gave Ollie credit for his role in the second goal (presented as a Southgate masterstroke as two subs combined to set up Bellingham). Honestly I doubt Southgate has made a decision yet - why bother? See how they perform in the last 9-10 games, how fresh they look, what Kane’s situation is etc. He knows he’s got two good backups and he knows he won’t use them at all if he can avoid it!
  11. Hopefully a nice confidence boost but let’s face it, Konsa aside that’s like playing against a League One defence
  12. I’m not a Southgate fan by any means but to be fair he will see it. I still think he’ll take Toney mind you.
  13. Probably been said, but my concern is he’s a confidence player and can be a little fragile (an absurd thing to say about someone at his level - obviously he’s very mentally strong - but you know what I mean). I hope what we don’t get is Toney coming in and scoring tonight, and Watkins’ mindset being “I had a big chance, I didn’t deliver, now I’ll miss the Euros” and coming back to Villa on a downer. Ideal obviously is he comes off the bench and gets a goal!
  14. I’ve followed football for 35 years and I lived in London for 12 years and I’ve never met a QPR fan. You may have been the victim of a hoax
  15. To be fair that other guy is probably Polish which might work in his favour (the manager who persuaded Cash to declare and was chasing similar second-generation connections has left, right?)
  16. Forest paid up to £42m for MGW*, can’t see them selling for £3m profit… *£25m plus £17m add-ons says the internet and a bunch of those will have been hit already.
  17. Yeah and also selling Douglas Luiz to Man United for £5m plus Harry Maguire and Villa Park burning down because Austin McPhee left his hair straighteners plugged in
  18. I’m reporting it because I remember having the conversations on the day when we signed Dendoncker and Arsenal were upping their bid for Dougie at £5m a pop and he was expected to move. It was all happening on the same deadline day and hanging on to DL was the best business we did that window.
  19. Poor Dendoncker. Signed on deadline day in a panic to replace Douglas Luiz and then that deal didn’t get done. Which is also why sometimes when we say “get our business done before we sell players and leave ourselves short” it doesn’t quite work!

    Agreed, Southgate sounded like he was pleased with him as well. Suppose a lot will depend on fitness of TAA, Trippier, Walker etc as to how much the right back cover matters at the time but he did what he could. Must have a shot of starting against Belgium as well if Walker is anything more than sore?
  21. Just so calm on the ball, casually stepping around two England players in his own area
  22. Been ok, poor service tbh, run the channels well, had one great chance that the defender got a nick to. Solid enough but nothing to cement a spot ahead of Toney if that’s his competition. Has played full 90 so wonder if Toney will get the Belgium game.
  23. I have a great character - one of the best! - and couldn’t care less about my national team. Not sure those two things are connected
