alreadyexists Posted July 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2017 We wouldn't have got him without SB, they seem like fairly close acquaintances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A system that doesn't have to change? You mean that system that creates so many chances that we're knocking in goals for fun? Seamlessly linking midfield to the strikers, whose movement and running off the ball leaves the opposition defence tied in knots. Yeah we don't want to change that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but the system that won us games. The one we had to change and we didn't win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry Nigel but I didn't ever see any significant changes to how we played ever since SB arrived. Sometimes we won, sometimes drew and sometimes lost, but the performances were always very similar. Extremely defence minded with very little creativity and heavily reliant on Kodjia nicking a goal. I'm sure the vast majority of us would like to see that system change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is statistically we won more with jedi in the side....without him we were weak and overpowered. We have addressed that which I'm happy with.

Jareth Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I just don't know. He's turned up, shines with quality and composure and football know-how. Easily the best defender in the entire league. But no, I'm sorry, my ethical compass, puts righteous PC Guardian reading sensibilities ahead of his value to our team - he's gotta go. Terry out.

If ever John Terry needed a hint that he was no longer in the big time, that trophy is it. Someone really needs to have a word with them about that. Players were embarrassed to be seen carrying it.

It looks exactly like the kind of trophy you'd buy for your Sunday League team's end of season do. You could also tell by the way they were carrying it that it's light as a feather. Definitely plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've run a kids team and given out very similar trophies. You can buy the 8" version of the one Terry and Chester are holding for about £15 online. It's £50 worth at best I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've run a sunday league team and used to buy them all the time. Never that big, but exactly that style and colour scheme. Embarrassing really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
