Frodo

Wow can't remember the last time he featured in a premier league game & hasn't played for some time due to injury & he gets panned for a 20 minute substitute apparence this site is bonkers

Think we have to be pretty much perfect with all our remaining game to nick a European spot & that's with all the teams above having a wobble, don't see it happening. Which is fine it's all about the summer window & next season for me. Just imagine if we'd of started the season with Unai Emery, most definitely be bang in that European race maybe be even knocking on the door of champions league, that's based on his record so far since joining & only added 1 signing in January, the mouth waters if he can bring 3 or 4 more top quality signings in the summer

For the love of Paul Mcgrath podcast on YouTube at 5pm tonight explaining our finances with Kieran Maguire so that should go along way to explaining abit more to us regards our finances. Guessing will be on Spotify tomorrow also as he posts on both platforms

Yep will be staying well clear of Talkshite tomorrow on the radio

Yep good going forward Not so good defending

I would give Nottingham Forest £50 million for Brennan Johnson, he is that good & will only get better

Totally agree his best position is on the wings probably left wing he is no forward but I get with his pace away from home why he plays as the 2nd striker teams will then sit alittle deeper making the pitch bigger for how we play out from the back ... & yep totally agree regards upgrades in the summer, crossing all my fingers & toes for Niko Williams to be wearing a Aston Villa shirt next season

Listen to a podcast with Dan Bardell yesterday morning & he had the European football expert Kevin Hatchard & they were talking about Bailey on there, Bardell mentioned how inconsistent he was & asked how he was in the Bundesliga & Hatchard said he was just as inconsistent he was in Germany. He would have 2 good games then have 4 or 5 quiet games. I'm prepared to give him next season under Emery & with more winger & forward players coming over the summer he will have to fight for his place, if anybody can get the best out of him it will be Emery. I do think there is a player in there somewhere.

Massive hole in our midfield for the next few weeks, him & Dougie are the 2 midfielders that help us play out from the back, with only one left in the squad that can do this we may have to tweak how we play, as Dendonker or Chambers haven't the calmness or the ability to play like this be a car crash. Be interesting how wo cope without Kamara for the next few weeks as he is one of two world class players we have in our squad. Massive miss, but I'm sure Emery will be able to tweak the way we play for awhile

Been in my van all morning & not once heard Talksport mention this even on the hourly news bulletins & yep if any of the top 6 or Newcastle you can bet they'd be all over it ...

Not so much his defensive side of his game but definitely his passing & his movement around the pitch with the ball, he reminds me of Gareth Barry when he was at his best.

3 or 4 more players at the same level as him & we've got a strong team, add Unai Emery into that & next season could be epic.

Yep that shot that hit the bar (saved onto the bar) if had gone in, the tone of this thread would be very different.

Watching his Youtube highlights, looks very similar to how Matteo Guendouzi plays interesting

Love watching him, makes the game look so easy, he seems to have more time on the ball than most, exceptional player.

Just play him till end of season with Watkins ... get him ready for next season ... looks the business think we have unearthed a beast here, doesn't look out of place at all granted only 2 subs appearances but alot yo like

He has been poor recently but still think his best position is on the wing that's where he has been at his best for us, playing him up top in a front 2 doesn't work I'd be inclined to play him next week against Arsenal in a front 3 of Bailey, Duran & Watkins ... with Duran through the middle. It's all well & hood saying he is shit but we rarely play him in his best position. He is frustrating but there is a player in there we've seen it in parts

Has to start for me next week against Arsenal.... seems to be getting into some sort of form ...

Fancy us today, a masterclass from Unai Emery. Bring on Arsenal next week

That's unfortunate, so you wasn't wrong in what you was hearing from the sonos, shame as if your TV was compatible with the sonos you wouldn't of been disappointed. What did you go with in regards a sound bar ?

Just wondering how your getting on with your sonos beam gen 2 did you sort out the sound ? Curious as I've just brought the Beam 2 & am mighty impressed with this, it blows the tv speakers out the water, (my tv is only couple years old)I purposely tried just the sound bar 1st as I brought the mini sub also & added to rear play 1's as rears. But sticking with bar it's an awesome bit of kit stand alone. But when you add the mini sub & rears it's a whole new ball game & when you put Dolby Atmos through the system it's very impressive, it's not actual dolby atoms as you can get that unless you have ceiling speakers but it throws out a virtual height sound which isn't bad, it does need the right source regards sound coming through it. Disney + is great for Dolby Atmos content.

Yep your right I suppose as that could open a right can of worms with Premier league clubs filing lawsuits relegated clubs from previous seasons could also have something to say. Pathetic really they've cheated there way to titles where everybody else abided by the rules & I'm guessing the only thing will happen is a hefty fine which they can quite clearly afford to do .

So sorry if this has been touched on, would this mean they are stripped of all there trophies they have won since being back the the Premier League???

Que the meltdown........ I'm disappointed so much good feeling going into this game but we need to just curb our excitement a little bit, such a tough league the Premier League & anybody on any given day can beat anybody. Were on the right road specially with our manager but we're going to get bumps in the road on where we want to go, so game like this are learning curves, so we take what we can from this & learn from it & I'm sure we will. Unai Emery is slowly finding out who he can & can't trust & will take abit of time, hopefully will address all this in the summer window. So as much as it hurts its all part of the progress it would surprise me if we picked up points from our next 2 games.

Agreed you've either have a first touch like the elite players ....like for example Zinedine Zidane one of my favourite players of all time his first touch was off the scale, he didn't have to think it just happened, ridiculously good. You can work on your first touch for sure & you can get better but you can't teach to get as good as say Zidanes first touch, think your just born with that.
