Menace

The injuries papered over the cracks and rightly so - but even last season when we had a decent starting 11, the performances weren't great and haven't been for a good while. No idea, maybe teams have learnt to sit back, maybe he's being cautious as to not further run players to the bones once again. Who knows.

Had we gone top - the league really doesn't tell the whole story tbh. We've been bailed out on numerous times by a Harvey Barnes belter - this model wouldn't have been sustainable similar to the Miggy purple patch. I think we're lucky to be 6th. The midfield looks very disjointed, our striker doesn't seem to be getting into positions and getting fed as freely as last season. Pope has 2 clangers into the season already. Bruno hasn't even kicked into second gear yet.

I reckon we'll surprise people. 2-1.

In what planet? Our front 3 is top 4 worthy when in form, same with our midfield. Our defence with Botman back is top 6 quality. Howe achieving top 6 with this squad is about right - him achieving 7th last year with the injury crisis he overperformed, same as when he got 4th.

If someone told me Barnes would ahead of Gordon on the starting line up and Gordon would be underperforming a few months ago I'd tell you to lay off the spice

You seem to really dislike the chap based off one interview and not much else. The away performance today was no different to some of the shite that was served up last season on a weekly basis, or is that his fault too?

We've rode our luck last few weeks and knew it wouldn't be forever.

Mental Tonali still isn't starting by the way

Bruno has been horseplop

Evidently saw a headline how technically we're the "richest club in the world" and thought he'd pop in and give advice on how to become a winner. Isn't it funny we've had fans from around the globe, America etc who stuck by us through our shittest/toughest era and can now enjoy light at the end of the tunnel - then you have this absolute wanker who knows nothing about our history and how close this club was to going into complete mediocrity abyss by past ownerships. He's already having a pop at Eddie I see.

Ah yes, lets sell a player we took a huge gamble on for £63m - who has been a huge success for £20m profit. Sounds about right. Considering PSG paid silly money for Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos, they will have to go at least 160M if we even begin to entertain it.

You mean the striker we signed from Sheffield isn't making an instant impact like some were expecting? How surprising.

You make a valid point - however I personally don't think Maguire gets game time under Carsley/new manager.

He's a starting England centre back who turned 24 a few months ago. I think £50M is a fair price for him personally.

5 year renewal

Pretty mental really. Considering the squad he inherited, and last seasons injuries.

I think posters telling each other to fuck off is pretty clear people are getting upset like

Wasn't the whole piracy thing really snidey as well? Replicating BeIn streams and calling them BeoutQ or something.

Its so tiring having a discussion on a football forum being labelled as whinging man. You literally have to tip toe here so people don't get upset.

Put a Balenciaga logo on it and that'll be about 3 grand

Giving it your all doesn't really count for much when its evidently not good enough. I don't blame Longstaff for the situation he's in, but being a confidence player for a team that's on the up and him being out of form is only going to end one way.

I've genuinely seen more of Tom Brady than I have of Wrexham

Just saw Birmingham spent close to £25m this summer - we got outspent by a L1 team.

Seeing all these celebs in Birmingham of all places is mental. It's a dump. Albeit better than Wrexham but still.

They have a huge following in America - not even surprising considering how much PR they've been doing over there
