  1. I only saw the highlights but I don't see any dominance from Spurs. I see them having a few speculative long range efforts, one of which a calamity of errors by Pope and Burn saw them get a goal. On the other hand we kept exploiting their stupid high line with very simple balls in behind. Spurs simply can't defend.
  2. Willock and Tonali looked fire together against Forest. Shame it was so short lived.

    The Other 18

    ZZzzzzzz. Still going on about this because a referee dared to send off a cartel player.
  4. He got his start on this website back in the day. Used to write for the main site when we had such a thing.
  5. And had there been VAR in the Carabao Cup, it would be 4 out of 4 with their goal from a foul throw.

    Alexander Isak

    "Rejected several approaches"
  7. Thought Neville's comments on "We can't keep putting a thumb on Newcastle's head" in regards to creating financial rules to hinder us was very interesting and unexpected. But I imagine its probably because PSR has fucked over Man Utd as well.
  8. The only contact he makes with the ball is when Isak kicks it against him.

    Jamal Lewis

    I mean Brazil is a bit more glamorous than Birmingham.
  10. Loved him as a player. Class hair too. Aged badly though
  11. He brings that hair flying in the wind aesthetic that our midfield really needed. Also he's pretty mint generally.
  12. I mean Liverpool are an elite team, but that's a crap result for Man Utd at home.
  13. Would have preferred a last minute panic bid for Semenyo rather than Elanga who I don't think is that good.
  14. Was working so didn't see the game. Watched the highlights. My only thought is what the fuck was their goal that we gifted them Pleased with the win. Keep some positivity around the club, unbeaten start and a chance to regroup after the international break.
  15. I want Arsenal to get a decision like this in every game. Cunteta would explode.
  16. Staveley and Ghoudoussi are beyond reproach as far as I'm concerned. They rescued this club from Mike Ashley, made fans believe again and made everyone feel good about the club again. Can't say the same about Eales so far.
  17. Just hope we get a performance to make us feel good about the club. Its badly needed after the awful transfer window. 5-0 up in 20 minutes again would do nicely
  18. Everton look delightfully shit this season.
  19. If it is true then Eales has put his job at major risk. Claiming he can't get stuff done because Amanda/Merdad keep getting in the way, then still not getting anything done when they're gone. Called PIF's bluff (probably to cover his own short comings) and been left exposed.
  20. His article is full of hyperbole but my gut feeling is that the stuff he's written about Eales and Staveley/Ghodoussi is probably true. Their exit was so sudden and the momentum does seem to have gone with them.
  21. Karma for signing for a cunt manager.
  22. Trying to be as objective as I can: 2/10 Lloyd Kelly is a decent signing, especially on a free transfer and in time will become a valuable squad member. However the signing feels more disappointing due to us not capitalising on his free transfer to spend money elsewhere. William Osula I've made my opinions clear on. I don't rate him and I'm very concerned by his goal scoring record for a striker. So far he hasn't had a single second on the pitch despite being the only other available striker. John Ruddy and Odysseas Vlachodimos - What can be said? We needed a backup goalkeeper to Pope, or at least one who could challenge him as number 1. We signed 2 goalkeepers and we still need that. Vlachodimos fee rumoured to be anywhere between £5m - £20m which is horrendous. Elliott Anderson (out) - Maybe a good deal, but counteracted by the fact that Vlachodimos might well be eating a lot of that £35m fee making it next to no money at all. Think he should have been given another season personally and potentially the fee we got after PSR shambles is not that good. Yankuba Minteh (out) - A promising young player who played well at Feyernoord, including in the Champions League, let go without playing a single minute for us in a position we desperately needed to strengthen. Again people dismiss this as being down to PSR but who's fault was the PSR situation in the first place? Marc Guehi saga - Incredible amount of time and effort wasted on this transfer when it was clear fairly early on when Parish started guffawing in public about it that it wasn't going to happen. Also crazy that we were seemingly going to spend the entire budget on him when there were other positions that needed strengthening too. We needed quality at both CB and RW and we're now left with an injury ravaged CB pool to choose from and the same ineffective RW options which have become incredibly stale. The only deadwood that went out was Ryan Fraser right at the end of the window. I appreciate its difficult to sell shit players but it can be done as other clubs regularly prove. The PSR shambles was something else and very concerning. Most people seem to just ignore it but its not something that should be ignored. The biggest disappointments for me have been that the window has killed my confidence in the ability of those running the club. Their competence has to seriously come into question and they have a lot of questions to answer for this failure of a window. The mood around the club is going to be very low now and thats not fair on Eddie or the existing players to have to shoulder alone.
