  1. thats a weird one, isnt the guy he is competing with, playing at championship equivalent level or something?
  2. MaVilla

    Unai Emery

    i have done something similar, a 5/10/15 game PPG average for 23/24, with conditional formatting for colour coding of PPG etc. defo had a bit of a PPG drop off over the last 15 games or so, specifically over the 10 game stretch.
  3. ye. the fact is, Southgate has the tactical nouse of an under 12s coach, im entirely not surprised that he doesnt/cant get the best out of probably the best England squad in half a century.
  4. Donkety Donk has played/plays for Belgium. Zaniolo may get in the Italy squad. Coutinho had played for Brazil while he was fit and with us. Olsen is a Swedish international. Would you want to keep any of them in the summer?
  5. no media would mention it, Sh*tgate is a media darling, not one of them would ever speak against him tbh.
  6. Interesting, i thought the buyback deal was "only" if they were promoted. If there is a buy back regardless of promotion or not, thats good, assuming he would want to come back to us (as he wanted to leave as not a first teamer - so not sure why he would be happy to come back as a squad player......which is what was offered in the summer).
  7. Crikey, i really hope we can offload him in the summer.

    Ezri Konsa

    is he locked in to England now?, or does it not count as its a friendly?
  9. who cares tbh. make hay and all that.
  10. it just says that the player has been invited to train with a PL club for two weeks, nothing to do with a permanent transfer etc.
  11. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68580638 i wonder if this might impact their promotion?, 3 seasons worth of breaches they are being charged for (before they were relegated).
  12. looking at manures remaining fixtures, and i know they have averaged only 1.7 PPG so far this season, i can see them getting 2 PPG for their remaining fixtures. However, they could also totally not, you never know with manure.
  13. pretty sure Manure need to do 2 PPG to get 67 points. 47 points currently, 10 games to go, 20 points needed to get 67 points, 2 PPG.
  14. The problem is, that however bad the private ownership/self(ish) governance has probably been overall, to have a "Govt body" throwing rules etc around is even worse, Govt bodies are usually completely incompetent, pander to interest groups and overall make things much worse overall. Govt involvement in rule making within the game, is a disaster imo.
  15. i work in a safety critical environment, where clear, precise and structured communication is mandatory, ie: passing correct, steady, formulated information etc, as well as ensuing clear understandings and making sure wires arent crossed, emotions arent overtaking your comms, steady emotions etc. Everything i hear, see etc from the VAR/Ref comms is beyond amateurish. the story where they said they would go to the airlines to discuss comms protocols after the offside eff up (Liverpool), i honestly cant believe a professional body (FA/refs etc), didnt think of all this in advance, it shows the level of incompetence and lack of understanding of the impact of comms and VAR, any half competent professional would have put all the comms protocols, training, processes at the top of the list when introducing VAR/direct comms between parties. its pretty shocking tbh, honestly.....coming from the background im in, i am genuinely shocked just how amateurish it all is. i dont want to be hyperbolic, but yeah.....from the perspective i look at it, its seriously amateurish, almost to the point of negligence, the lack of foresight/management of implementing VAR effectively is just mind boggling.
  16. oh ye, my bad, still, its high balls in to the box.
  17. while i agree in principle, Antonio literally headed the ball 1 foot off the ground today for their goal. I agree we have a height/physical issue defending set pieces, but it also a tactical issue i think.
  18. i guess his goal bonus today will pay for a new organ at the church.
  19. the real challenge is to guess which one gets booked first.
  20. what i liked with him, is he played at least 2, maybe more of those defence cutting through balls that Tielemans does so well. Granted they didnt entirely work, but the fact he can see the pass and try to make it is a really good sign for me, once he settles, learns Emery's ways and gains some confidence, i think he is going to be very good. he also looks comfortable on the ball and driving forward with it, the lad looks like he has oodles of potential to me.
  21. tbf, West Ham will only be a point behind Man Utd if they best us on Sunday. Could be 7th......
