  1. I don't think he's lived up to his reputation this season but he was spectacular 3 or 4 seasons ago.
  2. I'm very intrigued about how much depth there will actually be to the hacking element. Regardless I'll wait till the steam sale if its worth buying.
  3. I have a feeling daily summaries will be vital to us Australian VTers, I don't think its good for your sanity powering through a days worth of posts on this thread.
  4. I can't believe anyone who has watched Shaw play would suggest making him a CB.
  5. The above is from Kwan. Thank you. Interesting tid bit Yes but how many pages of people asking for PMs?
  6. So this thread has added over 40 pages since I last looked at it, anyone want to be nice and sum up whats happened.
  7. Who's said he's done a great job? Just being used to show how another manager has done with an arguably comparable team. And unless my maths is wrong Stokes average league position is more like 13th (12th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 13th) so Hughes is well on course to take them to their highest ever Premier League finish, bit harsh to say all he's done is tread water tbh. Fair enough, I misread their previous finishes. He's done better than I had realised.
  8. To be fair of Liverpool's best 11, 5 or 6 are English players (not sure if Flanagan is their best lb). While in City's Best 11 you have Hart and Milner gets rotated in a fair bit.
  9. I really don't understand why people are claiming Hughes has done has a great job with Stoke. They have a very established mid table team that has an average finish of 11th over the last 5 years. All Hughes has done is keep them where they were. The biggest problem for Paul Lambert is that the fans expectations of where our club should be has not matched what Lerner was willing to finance.
  10. Yeah there are definitely parts that I don't want to see and you picked the best example. I think most of book 4 was rubbish and by the looks of it we won't be seeing much of it.
  11. Under Houllier we weren't mathematically safe until after our 36th game with a much much better squad. Under Mcleish we weren't safe until after our 37th (may even have been the last game). Maybe the problem is bigger than the manager. I don't think he's done a great job but when given the objective of reduce the wage bill and avoid relegation its very hard for a manager to shine. If we are taken over I would like to see him given half a season to see what he can do.
  12. This Bowery looks like a premier league player. Didn't know he could play this well.
  13. It seems that they are just moving ahead with some of the plot from Feast. I have no idea where that leaves us next season as there is very little useful plot in Feast and Dance, though they could just be faithful to the books and dedicate an episode to food descriptions.
  14. I was willing to give Lambert a lot of benefit of doubt but 5 defeats in the last 6 games after the season we've had means he has to go.
  15. Changing the scene to have Jamie rape Cersei was completely unnecessary and not needed when he's in the middle of a redemption arc. It's a bit like how they changed the cousin killing and him killing the Kastark boys to make him a much bigger bad guy. I get the impression they have no idea how to handle characters that is so morally grey.
  16. I'd definitely get Barry on a free regardless of what happens with finances. Exactly the kind of midfielder we need and some much needed experience.
  17. Is that Mad men gif from the latest season?
  18. He's actually done pretty well for goals this season despite lack of consistent game time and man utd being pretty inconsistent. But I doubt any top team would go for him as a starter, Everton or Spurs are a good shout for him as they both could use a striker and are pushing for UCL places.
  19. Weinman and Gabby aren't having any impact in the final third I'd swap them both for Holt and Robinson, even if they do nothing we won't be worse off.
