  1. I realise that now. I'll go and sit in the corner and face the wall for a few hours.
  2. And if we sign Acuna we have 3! We're massive.
  3. You know what, I'd much rather have a player that overestimates their own ability and believes they can make it to the top (even if it's clear it's not likely) to a player who feels limited or lucky to be at the level they are in. It's just a shame when Leo said it publicly it came across as disrespectful to Villa.
  4. Agree with that, but then there's only a few things to wrap up and not sure how it could be extended to a full episode. Might have made sense to have a montage at the end of the final episode with text like they did with Line of Duty to very quickly tie up the loose ends. On this though, some of the performances are pretty good. Idris Elba manages to display the inner turmoil he's experiencing quite well and Neil Maskell has always been a very talented actor, and shows his dark side here.
  5. For me it should be a Foyth or a player of that profile - CB/RB and capable. Failing that then a loan for the season, not ideal but needs must.
  6. Yeah I really got into this and without spoiling anything it held a high standard up until the final episode and then unfortunately it got a bit ridiculous with a number of plot holes and logic gaps. Still, switch off your brain and it's still good fun. Ps - I watched the final episode whilst on a plane flying back from Canada
  7. He would have just the right character until he got on the skag...
  8. I remember it being pointed out last season before his injury that Carlos had been identified as a vocal leader (and speaks English) - so maybe it's his time to be the hero, not just one of "The other guys"
  9. I'll be honest, I wish I hadn't. Curiosity got the better of me.
  10. Just watching this documentary on Prime. Bugger me I need a wash. It's exactly what you expected it to be. A PR exercise. Cringe fest.
  11. Fabio Ferrerasi say's hi.... Riccardo Scimeca is confused about his own nationality.....
  12. Both films highly tipped to be in the oscar nominations...
  13. I remember when we thought that 28,000 p/w wages for Hassan Kachloul were astronomical. I blame the Tories for where we're at now!
  14. Aaron Tshibola Seriously, WTF was he all about???
  15. Liam Ridgwell - Record breaker. Wasn't it giving a penalty away in something daft like 5 consecutive games?
  16. World class movement though, there was just no other player on his wavelength.
  17. I think your right about the age of Lee Hendrie... So much promise though, I even remember one month there was something like 4 of the first 5 of the BBC Match of The Day goal of the month's were his. Such a shame he couldn't push on.
  18. It's just like, and to quote Timmy Sherwood (when he was describing out summer transfer business) "Buying the decorations without buying the Christmas tree" - Christmas tree (in this case) being the infrastructure and player development from grass roots up to professional level. If there is a Christmas tree it's a small £13 from Tesco's being decorated by decorations from Harrods, or somewhere equally upmarket.
  19. For me, Jordan Graham sticks out, thought he was going to be massive. Scott Murray from the 90's looked exciting and pacey at fullback but disappeared quicker than he emerged.
  20. From nothing more than my Football Manager (2020) knowledge of him I would say it'd be a clear upgrade. In the real world however, I have no idea but I suspect it could be! Scrap that, he's only 5ft 7"!! Burn him at the stake!!
  21. Bon Voyage young man, going to miss the wild anticipation of you getting on the pitch and all of a sudden turning into prime Zidane.
  22. I think we're getting wound up by thinks that probably haven't and have no insider knowledge about. Que sera sera and all that!
