  1. Buendía clear motm. Saw a lot of positive signs from the match, we had very good spells and were undone by mistakes. This is the type of performance that I think will help Unai with figuring out where we need to add & who might need to be replaced. Unai's HT subs clearly changed the game for us, we just couldn't capitalize. Ref was unnoticeable.
  2. don't think anyone got a touch after he struck it
  3. Buendia is so good at that near post corner flick
  4. that's a superb play from the keeper and it definitely put off ollie
  5. Digne over Moreno. interesting
  6. i'd really disagree with that -- especially if he keeps on being integral to QPR's midfield. He would probably not get minutes with us and coming back over the summer will give Emery time to work with him.
  7. A lot really depends on how/what you view the "killing" as. If you take all deaths "equally", Mao had double / triple (depending on what numbers you use, it's roughly estimated to be between 50-80million) the amount of people killed than Hitler & Stalin almost double (roughly 40million but estimates are up to 60 million). The line I've heard other historians use is "In the league tables of horror, Mao comes top, then Stalin and Hitler." If we are specifically talking about killing people specifically on "racial superiority " then the closest comparison I would make is the Ottoman Genocide in Armenia around World War 1. My history thesis (for American University) was an argument on why Stalin's policies with collectivization were tantamount to genocide because the policies were failures and left to fail leading to all of the deaths --which Mao made similar policies. (IDK why, but this topic is one of my most favorites to study in history) I listen to Real Dictators podcast, which I really enjoy -- they talk about the rise/fall of dictators around the world.
  8. I do check Boehly's twitter likes on occasion and I see him throwing some shade at other teams.
  9. the rumble last night was intense. Gunther is a star, it's only a matter of time before he wins the world title. Cody was not a surprise, but man it feels like Sami/Roman is going to completely overshadow that -- especially with Jey doing what he did last night.
  10. I would be very underwhelmed if we signed Gordon for 45m tbh
  11. I believe he has never taken charge of a club midseason -- because of his style, he usually goes in right at the end of a season to get the squad up to speed for the following year. --heard that on a podcast recently
  12. not sure either of those are worth the outlay it would take for us to get them. Especially as neither of them would be starting here
  13. not a weird loan signing at all. we were extremely short at CB when we signed him as Carlos had just done his Achilles and there were question marks over Mings & Gerrard's relationship, which just left Konsa (inconsistent and coming off a knee injury & Chambers who hadn't played consistently).
  14. no -- he clearly needs regular game time and we play Dougie & Kamara in the mid (we have McGinn, Dendoncker, & Ramsey who can cover) plus all of the options for attacking mid / wide and if we sign another midfielder it gets super crowded. Is it the end of Sanson's tenure with us? I don't know because he needs to have this run of games.
