  1. Generally, only the top 2 sides in the league will win 24 games or more in a season. Would put us in a great space but for me its probably a tough ask. We need to take some points off City, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool.
  2. Really impressed so far. Looks composed, great positioning and solid on the ball.
  3. I think possibly our squad players have been some of our best. Lenglet, Carlos, tielemans and Bailey all excellent I think
  4. Excellent first half. Great goal, looked a threat and brilliant tracking back.
  5. Kits again seem to be holding up much better. Noticeably less sweaty.
  6. great, cant wait to battle my way up the m5 and m6 on a friday evening before xmas.
  7. yeah i think the same, especially at home he seems great at stretching defences. I just dont quite see Zaniolo as the same as the others you listed. Bailey in a front 3 can be useful in a game where we want lots of width. Zaniolo seems brilliant when were stretched as he get the space between midfield and forwards. Not sure what to expect tonight tbh
  8. and for a rest, at a guess its the full backs in our system that cover the most ground, sprint the most, tackle the most etc.
  9. i could easily see him rotated for Zaniolo if we want to setup a different way. Bailey certainly more useful if we want a goal.
  10. id say its probably safer to see Moreno play the last 30 minutes in both games. Rather than starting rusty. Other options are to use the centre backs in a back 3 of shift Torres left.
  11. would tweak a few, we need more than an 11 else the drop off is too big when players need to come in. Carlos, Tielemans, Bailey have to start. Would have loved some rest for the full backs but dont think its possible.
  12. Suspect it makes little difference. Banks will all report billions of profit this year. Those people were getting paid In dividends, share options, employed by international arms of the same companies. It's a bad look and I'm sure will get air time. Pointlessly
  13. My feeling as well. The reality is it's actually only a small amount of people that receive these obscene bonus' it's a policy that doesn't warrant the media attention it gets. More tax in the coffers is a good think and as other have said, transparency about what constitutes reward is more important. I very much doubt that any of these bankers are worse off as a result of this policy.
  14. I think it would be 2 of Buendia, Mcginn, Ramsey, Zaniola, Bailey, Tielemans. That for me is brilliant depth and really allows you to think about the way to setup against any team.
  15. Yep, always respect other people's opinions and I also think VP should be a place for everyone.
  16. Dont think I agree. Everyone shouting and screaming at a player doesn't make for a great atmosphere to play in. My favourite atmospheres have always been supportive not aggressive.
  17. yesterday was classic Ollie. Missed the easy chance that he created, scores a classic Ollie goal by showing pace, skill and a great finish on his wrong foot.
  18. the only thing that could change is if the club received a decent offer. Feels unlikely considering age and injury profile but a 10-15m may tempt the club.
  19. makes sense, for your mums situation we buy small compostable bin liners. If you shop at the co op, there bags are also compostable so make a good substitute. It is odd how different policies are applied in different parts of the country. Even within 10 miles of my house, areas how different collection schedules and different bins. Definitely get the challenge of the elderly. If you have enough waste for one small bin, it makes no sense.
  20. What do you do today with your food scraps and why dont they lead to mould, disease and stench? I dont see how a dedicated bin is not better, certainly is for us. You pop a compostable bin liner into the bin, you empty it into a larger bin outside, it gets picked up once a week.
  21. hes a goal threat certainly. sometimes the goals may not feel too important but his goal at Palace and his involvement yesterday really helped us kill the game off. I think being able to bring a player like him off your bench at home is a sign of a great squad. He also played both sides yesterday, something else thats not often given the credit it should get. Im very happy with him.
  22. wouldnt be surprised if this is something about nothing and he starts on Thursday. A knock after an international game and a social media clean up because hes changed agency or something like that. Sometime i think we want something to be bad because everything else is going well.
  23. Maybe, im not convinced ive seen Konsa play as well with Mings next to him. Konsa has commented similar that Mings being unavailable he led to him taking more responsibility. I just wish we had Mings and Pau available. Certainly we have games where it would have been great to pick, or play Pau at left back.
  24. my son had a similar move. He didnt really struggle with the language at first, it was more the anger. He not really seen a fully grown adult act like he wanted to kill someone over a mis placed pass or a ref giving a throw in the wrong way. I remember him feeling really threatened, that is the type of thing that needs to be somehow controlled for me. Its something probably unique to football, odd having to explain to a child that he doesnt really need to worry about the idiot contorted in rage spitting and screaming.
  25. i feel the same and i think its something club should enforce. If youve gone to the trouble of going into a family friendly stand, then language and anger needs to be moderated. If the club is serious about attracting a different fan base, this is important to fix. Else they will simply keep adjusting to price until theyve removed the groups that they want to.
