“We’re not really capable of changing it” basically means “I don’t have the first fucking clue how to change it. If the other bloke does something then I’m absolutely impotent. I can’t react because I’m thicker than them and my players that I coach would be incapable of turning it around anyway”

Can’t even score past, let alone beat, the worst team in he league at home. We’re vulnerable to every single team we play, they could all beat us. Not saying they will but I’m not confident of naming the games we'll win for the rest of the season. The next 2 months could see us leapfrogged every week if we can’t cope with the pressure and lose.

Sorry to sound thick but what does this mean? I get bemused by the whole xG thing. Basically the opposition should have beaten us in 24 out of 26 games based on the chances created. Ah ok. Cheers midds Have a look https://understat.com/league/EPL

xG games won 2 xG games lost 24

Shudder to think how many laps are going to get done tomorrow in training. Get the lazy fuckers running and working Stevie la.

Newcastle (H). We’re an absolute godsend for a struggling team.

Come on, just give it a go lads.

Not the foggiest. Formations don’t matter, let’s just play.

Beer, bantz and sniff

Took too long to get the shot off. Think it was missing even without the block. Probably right it seemed like 90 minutes getting his feet sorted. It was canny atrocious! Wait for Bruce to say we just have no luck after the game. I’ll go “switched off for 2 minutes and it’s cost wuh the game”

We cant even keep the ball, its constant hoof. It is what it is.

Bit of test for Brucie now. Let’s see what he does...

Yep. This is the worst thing to happen to the game yet imo. Like I said in a different thread, the sooner the elite fuck off by themselves the better. Agree totally. Let City, Man U, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool join a European superleague. Throw real, barca, atletico, benfica, sporting Lisbon, bayern, Dortmund, milan, inter, roma, lazio, Napoli, psg, marseille and zenit in and let the fuckers get on with it. I've never really got this opinion. If 5/6 English clubs go to a Super League, what's the point in winning the Premier League? It'd mean nothing. I agree, it would be the ‘best of what’s left’ each year. Everyone would know they’re not the very best the country could offer but I think it would be a better competition than the current situation. I just want a more level playing field and a bit of healthy competition tbh

Offside from a corner is bonkers man. That's obviously the rules so it's the correct decision but it seems crackers

Never knew you could be offside from a corner even though you're behind the ball when it's played and it's gone backwards. I thought that was the exact advantage of having a corner tbh

Creating the CL was the formation of the European (big club) cartel. FFP is merely the drawbridge they've created to protect themselves. City will take their rap on the knuckles and rejoin in a year or two. The money will continue to roll in, the biggest get bigger and if you're not in the club now you never fucking will be.

We already did a few years ago

All Rafa's fault iirc

Must admit I don’t see why it should stay locked, if people want to discuss it then they should be allowed imo, that’s the very nature of a forum. Personally I think it’s basically done now and the chances of it happening are negligible but you never know. Easy enough to ignore if anyone feels that strongly about it.

Wasn't an admin and I've got no idea why tbh. I'll unlock it, think it's been locked by accident.

Arsenal couldn’t have handpicked a nicer game to get them out of their little rut. Bet Arteta took one look at the fixture list, saw Newcastle (H) and rubbed his hands. Seldom do well down there, can’t see this bring any different. 3-0, maybe 3-1 if we fluke another one.

I want to rattle Liz Hurley and marry Liz Hurley. Read the rules.

I dunno -feels like if you join Barca at 24 then Dortmund at 27 then you’ve probably not had a great three years. What can I say? I peaked a little early
