  1. Rule it off already so we can score another.
  2. Leicester not winning another title may be FFP related but them getting relegated was completely due to their own mismanagement. For me, FFP has performed admirably. The league hasn't been this competitive, top to bottom, for 20 years. Teams like Brighton and Villa can keep its talent without having to bow to the financial might of the Chelsea/Man City types. It can definitely be improved upon but to think we should repeal and go back to the way it was before is madness. We would be a mid-table club with no chance of a top 4 finish within a season.
  3. Sounds like a luxury tax which MLB and the NBA use. 20% wouldn't be enough though to stop nation states from buying titles. Would need be punishing once you got over a certain cap, say a 2 for 1 tax for every dollar an owner wants to spend over that cap.
  4. Without FFP Newcastle would have stripped us for parts the same way City did 15 years ago. For all of its flaws it's definitely better than what we had before.
  5. Ref was having a shocker. Showed great maturity in picking up the booking but never getting close to another yellow.
  6. Looks like Zaniolo got the final inadvertent touch from an offside position. No VAR saves us there.
  7. Spot on with that prediction. Can I get some lotto numbers next please.
  8. Slow as molasses. How did Barcelona ever think he was champions League quality. Great b/u to Pau for this season though.
  9. Zaniolo got 15+ games while Ramsey was injured. His fault for not locking down his place in the first 11.
  10. Just finished his 9th game (90 minutes+ in each one) in 35 days. Just amazing. Rest up Dougie.
  11. Nope, just wanted to make sure everyone was watching.
  12. Not this argument again. Don't you know strikers are measured by goals scored and that's it. The modern game demands nothing more from your front man. Edit: Ollie is #1 in the PL for Goal Creating Actions and 10th in the entire PL if you go by per minute. So once again who are we getting better than Ollie.
  13. It's not that buying from the championship is bad. It just takes awhile for most of the players to adjust to the PL. Look at how long it took McGinn to find his footing. Sometimes you get a guy like Ollie but he wasn't cheap. So given that your January signings usually need to hit the ground running I doubt we make that move in the winter.
  14. Highly doubt we will be doing January transfers in the championship.
  15. Ross Barkley playing like man who has refound his love for the game. Great story.
  16. Has one of the best celebrations in the PL, sucks but he knew the celebration police would have been all over that.
  17. Yes he has been injured so he deserves a longer run than 2 games to reintegrate. Zaniolo has been pants for pretty much this entire campaign. Jacob's play over 2+ season has earned him some grace to work his way back into the form. Can't do that from the bench.
  18. Was thinking the same. Not sure which would be better, United comes out in a low block at Old Trafford praying for a 0-0 or they come and press us and we put 3 or 4 past them.
  19. Honestly calling what Sheffield did a low block is not doing it justice. At times they had all 11 players below the 18 yardbox. They showed no inclination to even attempt an attack. Missed Buendia badly as he and a player we probably need to acquire in the summer will be needed when coming up against this strategy in the future.
  20. So Zaniolo, a loane, gets 10+ starts but Ramsey can only get 2. Way to show one of our star boys from last year some faith.
  21. Unless that's a list of footballers who miss clear cut chances then no way should Darwin ever be ranked above Ollie. Go ahead and toss that out with the trash in morning.
  22. Yep. Trying to VillaTalk while in work meetings.
  23. Oh no I love him even more now. If we win trophies I i could care less if everyone else hates us.
  24. This. Would rather Konsa at RB and a digne/Moreno combo on the left. Could absolutely see that working.
  25. I'll keep the faith because Unai obviously sees something there but Cash at RW is a chore to watch.
