    This, so hard for youngsters to break though. Hopefully he can make a career for himself in the game at a level that sets him up for live. UTV
  2. West ham have Rice and palace have Zaha , Spurs are competing with the top 4 and are exactly what we should be comparing ourselves to if we want to get where they are .
  3. You use Leicester as an example who since selling their better players have struggled. I would argue that if Grealish hadn't been sold we would be close to the top 4 this season. Even teams like Palace manage to hold onto their best players , Spurs as well who have won nothing in years, west ham is another example. The message selling sends out to the rest of your players is that the project has a limited chance of success and to get it you have to move. We have took 20 years to get a decent keeper, he's only 30 we need to build a defence around him.
  4. Not sure what your point is here , have they won anything or competed for a top 4 finish?
  5. Could be testing the water for the Brexiters reactions and the media to this deal and then look at other deals for the UK?
  6. Surely with no border controls between Ireland and NI goods can flow with no restrictions between the two of them anyway regardless of the green or red lane status?
  7. A statistical reminder of the fools that are in control.
  8. Keep them, a few hundred quid will soon be gone and forgotten but the memories those figures give you will last at least your lifetime. Sorry to here about your mom, devastating to lose a parent.
  9. Good result but not a great performance. We have players that are far to casual on the ball and in closing the opposition down when they have the ball. We struggle to win 50/50's. We stop playing when we think the refs going to blow or think he should be blowing. We have players whos arms are in the air requesting offsides / fouls while the opposition continue to play or we pause on the ball waiting for the ref to blow when we should be just carrying on playing. We have many diamonds but also a few players who are not consistent enough and can be reckless and half arsed. We need at least another leader on the pitch who's willing to give both barrels when these players start to lose concentration. We are still very much a work in progress but the resilience we showed against Everton was fantastic and shows we are growing as a squad.
  10. It's his attitude that really set him apart for me, he wants to win and compete, we need a few more like him to give us the character we require to push on.
  11. I have watched it loads of times and can't decide how to call it tbh, it's dangerous and it's Ollie's ball to lose so I would say it probably is a penalty........ but the confusion caused by poor officials is killing the game. It's giving advantages to teams that winge the most and the loudest, Arsenal being the prime example.
  12. Think he got the ball at the same time , Arsenal would have got the decision though that's for sure.
  13. Virgin did it to me on cable, offered 50% reduction in the increase but I just so no, just stop the contract, they then offered me no increase at all. They have changed their terms and conditions and I think it impacts on your right to leave for increases like they have tried ...... don't go on a long term contract with them, they have you by the short and curlys if you do.
  14. Well they got behind their team and made it noisy and boisterous for large parts of the game until we scored the second. Would have been easy for us to wilt under the pressure but we stood firm and battled to get a result that first half I didn't see coming tbh. If we can iron out the issues we have then our spirit shouldn't be lacking after hard fought ground out results like today. I know its all pretty tribal in football but I hope they don't go down and suffer what we have over the last 10 seasons. The league's a better place with teams like Everton in it . UTV
  15. Not anywhere near as bad as N'Zog. Confidence seems low, makes the wrong decisions time after, overplays it as well. Not sure if we can afford a player who can be a 6/10 or a 9/10 depending on which way the winds blowing. I would prefer more of a an 8/10 player on a more consistent basis but I have my doubts on whether he can be that player. Maybe he should swap sides more, prefer him on our left tbh..
  16. They pressure the officials, clever imo. Real struggle today and Watkins and having quality on the bench made the difference. We looked so disjointed, kept giving way possession time after time and losing 50/50's as well. We won but was lucky Everton didn't have a decent striker/ number 10 on the pitch, Cash and Digne's had a torrid time, isolated and overun time after time. Doug is great on the ball but poor off it. Bailey wasn't working, not sure why but it just didn't happen for him. Overall I'm happy with the result but watching it was painful. UTV
  17. The way to deal with these rises is go sim only on a 30 day contract then cancel if they raise the price and PAC your number over to another provider. If you need another phone then buy a new handset outright using an interest free credit card and spread the repayment for it over the interest free payment term. Then get a 30 day sim. I'm currently on IDmobile 30 day unlimited calls and texts and 200gb per month , £12. Talk with your feet, the virgin media technique.
  18. Anything to get us away from these Tory clowns, don't give the media a sniff of controversy.
  19. I would bet he's not going to make his breakthrough at Chelsea now. Unless he can seriously impress in the limited chances he's going to get, which he hasn't yet and might not get another. What a waste.
  20. Virgin just hit me with the inflation plus 3.9% increase, told them to cancel as I have a 5G router I'm going to use. They cancelled the increase completely.
  21. Maybe he's refused to go out on loan after first team game time was promised when he signed?
