  1. Debatable. We might still have Gerrard.
  2. Is Janne Andersson the Swedish translation of Martin O’Neill?
  3. You prefer the corrupt club game do you?
  4. What a career he went on to have…
  5. It’s as a result of the how football is watched these days. Most fans watch full games of their own team, and whatever click-oriented highlights social media spits out of every other team. This coupled with those god awful football banter/GOAT accounts like Football Bible and so on looking for clicks. Clicks are generated by moments that people will watch. This results in Mings been known for that Ibrahimovic stamp and high profile mistakes. They don’t see the other 99% of the minutes he has played where he has been a very competent defender who is in no way dirty. It’s Dejan Lovren syndrome. 99% of the time a perfectly competent sometimes unbeatable CB but his errors/brain farts are what he’s remembered for by most football fans.
  6. I think we’re somewhere in between this week and last week.
  7. You’d get fit fairly lively too if there was a lad chasing you with a saw and a suitcase.
  8. It was actually a submarine in his last job, not a ship.
  9. As long as you pull a ball of £100 notes out of it you should get on alright
  10. Ah, an actual football manager. That’ll be nice after the last year or so.
  11. Why wait? Go watch the game that was played a few weeks back.
  12. I wouldn’t be opposed to that to be honest. Make them feel part of something from a young age. And also, much like the Catholic Church opposing contraception. You’ve got to keep one eye on future revenue streams.
  13. Free tickets for kids is not a bad idea actually. Regardless of capacity. EDIT: I mean a limited number of free tickets.
  14. Emery is pragmatic, and I mean that in the literal sense of the word, not the football sense (defensive minded). That is to say he will play a system that plays to the strengths of the squad and tries to exploit the weaknesses of the opposition. He won’t cede control to the likes of Forest or Fulham. He will however, look to contain, shut up shop and play on the break against the likes of City.
  15. Nothing wrong with a health check down below. There is, however, a time and a place for it.
  16. As Emery and Amorim are the two main links at the moment, the appointment will be an indication of what will happen with Phil. I think that Emery would be the one who could make him effective again and could put a system in place to play to his strengths. Amorim comes in and Coutinho is done. He relies on running and pressing. Phil wouldn’t survive in that style and if we play him in such a style he will be the undoubted weak link.
  17. And Löw was considered the brains behind the Klinsmann operation who started the turnaround in fortunes of the German national team in the mid 2000’s. Löw was very good for Germany until he tried to reinvent everything around 2016 or so. He has been out of club football for a very long time though. He’d be a massive gamble. I’d be more for a low risk appointment this time round.
  18. Chelsea did that in the club World Cup last season. Azpilicueta picked up the ball, got hounded by the Palmeiras players, the ref settled things down, Azpilicueta hands the ball to Havertz abd he doesn’t have to deal with any of the shit.
  19. This is the blue nose out to sabotage our club. Seems to be enjoying himself watching Villa win.
  20. Looking forward to Craig Butler’s celebratory social media posts after the match.
  21. A lot of things will change as a result of the manager change. However, this will never change.
