  1. Sky saying we are in negotiations with Southampton regarding Matt Targett. Good signing. Definete upgrade on Taylor and Hause imo.
  2. No. no no. He got the necessary stick. Let's not play captain hindsight now because he's gone on to have moderate success in a team and system that works for him. I know what my eyes seen. They didn't deceive me. Played nearly 150 games for us. He runs around like crazy to give the perception " jeez that lads putting in a shift " yet by the time he gets to the opponent, balls gone. Weak as piss water. Good stats man when it comes to passing but lacks any bravery to make a forward pass.
  3. Chester was arguably our best player the season we lost to Fulham in the playoff final. He was pouring from an empty cup last year. Easy to forget how good he was though. One of our better signings in recent years .
  4. You've said the same about Hepburn-Murphy, Suliman and one or 2 others im sure.
  5. Listen to most of the blokes competing in UFC, clearly not dealing from a full deck. I don't think it's much of a generalisation to assume if they weren't in competitive "sport" they'd be in trouble. It's on its knees anyway now the cash cow is gone. A fad "sport" that hopefully will be redundant in the not to distant future.
  6. I hope that bare knuckle shite don't take off. I have the same level of disdain i have for it as i do UFC.
  7. Khan is been paid 7 million quid to fight a bloke ranked 230th in the welterweight division..Put a Pakistani v India angle on anything and seemingly it sells.
  8. Bournemouth gonna be a bit prickish over this. Will play out.
  9. It's a kind of tweet where it's telling you something but in actuality is telling you nothing. Championship player wants premier league move. Oh my. Mind = Blown.
  10. Mawson is the most overhyped dud in top level football.
  11. Think so yes. Garde in the crowd, took charge few days later home to city if I'm right
  12. Think though we have a proper scouting department now. This wasn't done on a whim. Likely we had been looking at him as far back as when we made a charge for the playoffs .
  13. Grealish is the most similar English player in style of play, touch and how he carries the ball to Rui Costa than ive seen. Said that about 18 months ago . Major asset for England if he plays well in the premier league and gets picked ( i too am Irish so say that with a hint of envy )
  14. Spot on. It comes back to what purslow said in the sit down interview along with Smith after the play off final. Basically said the media have not got a clue who we are after and we won't be influenced by what they say either. Clearly wasn't just saying this to make a nice interview. Man was deadly serious.
  15. I remember when we were signing players in the summer we got relegated and short arse was tweeting silly cryptic emoji tweets about incoming signings. Was good fun at the time to have that level of interaction with a chairman but looking back on it now compared to how we are run now, was comically amateurish really wasn't it.
  16. The cynic in me says balaban? Serious coin too at the time. My bad. Went to Belgium after us.
  17. Purslow makes all this stuff seem like a piece of piss. Gets sorted easy.
  18. We'll go there a much better team for sure than when we last visited their place. What a weak and feeble villa team that was physically and mentally.
  19. Wait, he had 2 kids by the time he was only 16 ! Big Dick Wes indeed.
  20. Yeah....maybe our experienced scouting department should of looked at the obligatory YT clips before going after him. Idiots.
  21. Unlikely. The fee and the fact he has played champions league. Purslow is a pro. He doesn't drive down dead ends.
  22. Could be wrong but i think top 4 qualify directly for the group stage.
