  1. He had two horrific injuries a few years ago, and just hasn't looked the same player since. It was definitely a gamble worth taking, as he genuinely was a very exciting player before those ACLs. It's still early days, and being played out of position hasn't helped, however at this moment in time, I wouldn't be looking to make the move permanent. There's still some way to go, of course, however he's looking now how he looked for the most part for Roma post injuries. I would love for Nico to get back to his pre-ACL self, however it's too much of a gamble for us given the cost of the transfer, and our apparently tight FFP. However, the big caveat to this is that I would love to see him on the right or in the Diaby role, and Europe is the time and place to do that. He's not a right sided player, so it's made it additionally difficult for him to find his feet.

    Yeah he's available for tomorrow.
  3. Now I see it’s a partnership and us not buying them, I see less of an issue. As you were.
  4. Nanananana ey ey, Leon Bailey ey oh ey, shabalabala he's our winger, he comes from Jamaica.
  5. Spain will struggle as Osasuna got knocked out of the Conference League at qualifying stage. So all of their points are divided by 8, despite only 7 teams still being in Europe. Whereas we have all 8 teams still competing. From what I understand, anyway!

    If Duran is struggling mentally, I hope the club is giving him all the support he needs, and I’m sure they are. We’ve seen after the Tielemans interview how players can be affected by baseless lies and rumours online, so let’s not jump to conclusions here by saying he has an attitude problem, or go back to the nonsense about him being a poor signing.
  7. I think we changed the plan with Khedr because the Premier League relaxed its rule about signing players on points based system, you're now allowed up to four per season that don't need to qualify. So whereas before it wouldn't have been possible without sending him to Vitoria first, we were now able to sign him directly ourselves.
  8. Honestly. The amount of xenophobia cropping up in this thread is pathetic. They’ve acted quicker, and fairer than the FA did in the Toney and Toffolo cases. But nah, let’s chuck out some pathetic Europhobe nonsense. Seen a few comments and couldn’t be bothered, but enough is enough.
  9. In other Everton news… Hopefully the Premier League do the right thing and throw the book at them.
  10. Forest have theirs above their badge, so we must be allowed to as well?
  11. Tried it once, Thanksgiving 2020. My American housemate wanted to cook all of her traditional dishes. I took the recommended dosage of the tablet, but I’d have just been better off not taking it, and throwing the meal straight down the toilet. Think I spent most of that weekend in solitary shitting through the eye of a needle. It’s what the pilgrims would’ve wanted!
  12. As a fellow suffer of lactose intolerance, I actually find oat milk lovely, and much nicer than normal milk. Lactose free butter is also grand, although as I've mentioned in another thread I'm not hugely bothered by butter, so this doesn't affect me so much. It's the cheese that is the issue for me. I do miss cheddar. You can get parmesan that's 30+ months old that is basically lactose free, but the like for like vegan substitutes are absolutely vile.
  13. Yeah I’m sure it used to be that. And it was fine, decent even, it made sense. Now it’s just a mess.
  14. “See it. Say it. Sorted.” I hate it. It’s an awful slogan, and it annoys me far more than it should.
  15. Butter on beans on toast makes it too rich, and not enough about the beans. The only time I have butter is when making mash. I think in the laws of VT this is probably akin to a war crime. See you in Strasbourg!
  16. Do we know how much we’ll make as a club from hosting the Euros? How does it work? Percentage of ticket costs, flat fee per game/tournament, or percentage of the matchday income? Any ideas?
  17. His success rate of senior signings was very poor, in my opinion. He might well have done some good work behind the scenes, but a huge amount of money was wasted during his tenure, and the two most successful signings of his spell were Martinez and Watkins - insisted upon by Smith and Cutler. The fact he was desperate to spend £25m on Sarr last August, on top of the £13m spent on Dendoncker sums his talent spotting up to me. Best of luck, Johan, I hope you carry on in the same way for Tottenham.
  18. I’m sure I read that Richards was notorious for doing the bare minimum research, and relies on his personality to hide it. The vast majority of women who present and analyse are at least competent, and usually really good. The only one I dislike, and she’s been mentioned on here before is Aluko. Even Karen Carney, despite being a Bluenose is really knowledgable, and insightful. And I’m sure it comes down to as you and a few others have said, they need to work harder to prove their worth due to Neanderthal gammons who don’t like to listen to women. I mean who would you rather listen to, Alex Scott or Danny Murphy?
  19. Pretty sure Brentford have confirmed their current kit is lasting two seasons. Do we know if we’ve managed to get a solution for this sweat kit for our games today?
  20. In the last two league home games he’s had through balls from Tielemans (won a penalty) and McGinn (missed, Douglas scored the rebound). Watkins and Buendia never seemed to click, so I’m not sure I entirely agree with this view.
  21. Some absolute nonsense on this page. You can not want Grealish back because you haven’t forgiven him for leaving, but to say he wouldn’t be the best player in our team, or even get in to our team is absolute biased nonsense I’m afraid. Anyway, to get back on topic, Douglas is the man, and I’m concerned that he’s not starting tonight!
  22. Worse track record than Suso on hindsight. Fact he was pushing so hard for Sarr was a big concern for me. I’ve no qualms of him leaving the club, especially to Spurs.
  23. Counted less than 200 remaining tickets on the website. Good going that, considering where we were a few days ago!
