Brexit thread?

Was just about to ask the question if there was anything not broken. Unsurprisingly the moto of if were rich it will help you doesn’t work. It’s not even the moto anymore it’s the money is better in my pocket than yours. Even more surprisingly to them if you cut the youth centres, cut the schools, cut the aid, cut the housing, cut the police, cut the prisons you get more social issues. If you cut the hospitals, cut the social work, make homes and hospices so expensive they bankrupt you get back logs and lowering standards of care. All of these have lined someone pocket in the cutting phase, they line someone’s pocket in the fixing phase bringing in private companies to sort it or in most cases don’t do anything or not up to the task. The mess they left in the 80s and again now is irreversible, only stopping it getting worse unless all parties band together for the good for 20 years and the Tories on the sideline. That won’t happen.

It has to be one or the other for me. VAR was so successfully implemented at the 2018 World Cup as they just sent the ref to the screen every time. If it’s about letting the on field ref manage the game and potentially still make some mistakes even after reviewing then fine. If it’s about correct decisions then VAR should just over rule and be done with it. This way seems to be seen by the ref fraternity as heresy.

I love the chaos, the money had been spent by the glazers on the playing squad so I don’t get the hate there, it’s purely because they aren’t winning. However they have fallen behind in the infrastructure at the club, the culture from the top is clearly not there and the players know it. Players on massive wages who can’t be forced out. Long may it continue but hopefully it doesn’t have to be beating up women that causes it all.

Federico Macheda We used to love letting a striker get their first goal or score after a Barron run. Forlan got his first goal against I think (atleast he turned out great).

A smart window, sold players, bought some great ones. hopefully we can get Sanson off the books in the next. I think due to his wages Digne is only a matter of time. If we keep signing players like Tielemans, Torres, Diaby and Zaniolo then we will be great. I think we’ve spent about £100m net in the last 3 summers. Should have funds left for the next Torres and Diaby level players that we want. Guimares and Williams may still be targets.

It’s madness not to sell Salah for that much, if he loses a yard he’s done. 2 years left on his contract.

I’d rather rip my ears off than listen to Dhamesh and Kaveh

When he scored I didn’t know he was playing

It seems like we are going for players ready and experienced now. I don’t like the links with Acuna being 31 I was hoping Monchi would get us some 18-23 unknown wonder kids aswell. I think we will sign players but no idea if that will be big money, what positions, how old or unknown players. We probably need 3 a cb to cover mings/rb a attacking mid to cover Buendia and another winger/forward to hopefully replace Coutinho.

We have European games to come and we don’t know how that will effect us but I think we can win 7 of the next 10 games. Liverpool Palace Chelsea Brighton Wolves West Ham Forest Luton Fulham Spurs

Looking forward to seeing what klopp says but for me they VVD red is so clear it’s ridiculous

One of the commentary guys said Celtic and Rangers are on par with Villa

My mate had him to get a red at 51-1 he probably should have got it as well. I had Pickford to get a yellow at 16-1

He’s not a winger, get him around the box and he’ll score goals. Has he got what it takes to carry out what Unai is asking him to do is the question. Coutinho came on instead of him and looked bright. He’s injured now so maybe he will get another chance? I think we’ll sell him.

A mate just said he failed his medical but we signed him anyway, that can’t be true.

I’m looking forward to this being the convention of human rights and left lawyers fault for requiring health and safety standards.

I’m all for time wasting it’s part of the game and a mechanism for helping to even the field against the better teams. You do it at amateur level no one but the top teams and refs care unless it’s in their favour. The issue has always been with too little time added on for injuries and subs not for gamesmanship time wasting.

A price point has been set and has given maximum profit to the share holders. Until the government step in it won’t go down. This government being “pro business” and the conservative ethos of trickle down economics I don’t see these prices going anywhere. But yes please stop the boats

We don’t have room in the team to give him game time so hope he gets it at Burnley.

Sounds like the director of football and Moyes are massively out of sync. They may suit Moyes but not whoever they bring in next. Moyes probably wont see out the season. Id take Bowen and Paqueta (who we dont need) from them if they get into proper trouble.

I think Unai knows Watkins needs to feel confident to play well, he showed his faith in him by getting rid of Ings and I think hes played him alot in pre season hoping hed get goals and then hit the ground running.

A mate asked me today whether id take Ilheanacho as the Watkins back up and I absolutely would. The likes of Calvert Lewin would be another great option but no chance of that, hed cost a fortune and would expect to start if he could stay remotely fit. Im concerned that Emery doesnt fancy Archer but in Unai we trust.

Ive seen nothing from him to say he would be good there

Didn’t see the game but asked a mate who was there who said we were class. The biggest thing with Emery is you see we have a plan, no matter how the game goes you can see we have something tactically coached. Also said Bailey was shit.
