  1. Big turnout in the Northeast I reckon given the delay, should be another good sign for Labour.
  2. That would be Kuenssberg's new labour contacts who are still in denial about Corbyn.
  3. The SNP won't be that low and they will take seats off the tories on that exit poll model.
  4. Sinn Fein might come under pressure to take the oath.
  5. Corbyn better get negotiating if Labour get a few more seat than the exit poll prediction.
  6. One slight glimmer of hope for ye is the fact that Labour win the personality contest this time. I recall last election that an idiot footballer from the roughest part of Liverpool in Jon Walters voted tory on the basis of Ed Miliband being so pathetic (look natural Ed etc.). Just an example but I still maintain that Miliband's weirdness cost Labour massively last time, the tables have turned this time with May being seen as an empty coward while Corbyn has been very good at communicating with the public and he has substance as a person regardless of your opinions of him. It might be enough to get Labour close.
  7. I'd be very happy with Sanogo on a free to be honest especially if wages were modest. No shame in not making it at Arsenal and the loan deals he's had were poorly chosen. Milik and injuries kept him out of the Ajax team, Charlton were garbage while Palace were managed by Pardew. He does seem injury prone though.
  8. Preston coninuing to pillage the LOI for bargains, Kevin O'Connor added to the signing of Sean Maguire from runaway league leaders Cork City. Both signed for a pittance and likely to be on tiny money in comparison to what Villa regularly squander.
  9. Sorry if this has been discussed before but as outsider looking in with will Labour and the SNPs go into coalition if the numbers work out. Lib Dems should be irrelelevent and it is not inconceivable that the tories will have say 315-320 seats, Labour on roughly 280, SNP on around 45 guaranteed. The bookies aren't giving odds on Labour SNP though so I presume it is out of the question which is madness considering they would be the two most compatible parties to provide a good coalition government.
  10. Fair enough then. Is there anyone in that Aberdeen team worth a look at? Hayes and Rooney have done well there but Scottish football is their ceiling you'd imagine. Hayes was very poor for Ireland against Iceland a couple of months back.
  11. To give him a fair description, he would be a holding midfielder who gets on the ball and keeps things ticking over well. He'd be less sheepish than the player Westwood became.
  12. Ryan Jack on a free from Aberdeen would be a sensible type of transfer for the club where we are at the moment. Very tidy central midfielder. He is set to join Rangers but surely wages here would be a lot better. Harry Redknapp is at the Scottish cup final too scouting players.
  13. A reckless tackle and probably a top level career ender for Coleman. Bale's tackle on O'Shea was dirtier and more of an attempt of a leg break in my view, the ref's leniency there led to players taking liberties and Taylor got carried away with terrible consequences. He won't be right in the head to play for a couple of weeks anyway. On another note Ramsey and a couple of other Welsh players were a disgrace for protesting the red card when a fellow pro is on the ground with his leg broke in 2.
  14. Rotherham and Bristol are the 2 worst teams in the league for the past while so I wouldn't be getting carried away. The wins have bought Bruce time so he probably deserves until the end of the season at this stage before re-evaluating the situation. Wyness, Round and co still should have plan for every eventuality though.
  15. That day is getting closer thankfully. Salazar in the news again.
  16. Graham Burke scored on his debut for Shamrock Rovers last night then disgraced himself with a horror challenge: https://www.balls.ie/football/graham-burke-tackle-359868
  17. Sacking him after a defeat to Derby tomorrow would be risky as the two big games against Bristol and Rotherham coming up quick with Huddersfield away the following Tuesday. Anything less than 6 points from the next 5 games ending with Sheffield Wednesday at home on the 11th of March should see him gone. That would give the new manager (who should be lined up already) a week to prepare for a crucial game against Wigan. Of course we could go on a great run and win our next 5 games and I'll look rather silly.
  18. The only homegrown player of note that he has brought through that I can think of is Jordan Henderson, I thought he may have played a part in developing Andy Johnson years ago but he sold him fairly quickly after taking over to sign Clinton Morrison instead. Andrew Robertson was a good signing who got his chance when young.
  19. I'd really much rather see Easah Suliman get a chance towards the end of the season to be honest. I don't think Steve Bruce has any sort of record when it comes to bringing through and developing home grown players so over the hill mercenaries get priority.
  20. Anything less than 4 points from Bristol and Rotherham and League 1 is on the horizon. I'd expect defeats in the other 2 games.
  21. Stam and Wagner are non runners and if they were interested now I wouldn't be interested. Both look like very good managers doing excellent jobs but if they were the type to leave their teams in the lurch while in the hunt for promotion to go to a relegation struggler for more money it wouldn't reflect well on their personalities. In the summer sure if circumstances are right.
  22. And that isn't going to change under the current manager.
