  1. Still could, his competition is Janmaat Janmaat hasn't been starting for them recently has he ?
  2. The shame for him is that, had he played more at right back in the prem, which looks like his natural position, he could have got international recognition there.
  3. Especially the way West ham's came about.
  4. What does that make the likes of Blyth ?. Teams in this league are good teams but I honestly think we are better than them all and I think Tuesday will be similar to today, we'll be too strong, snuff them out and take enough of our chances.
  5. Good strong win. Pleased we played more of a middle 4 instead of 2 holding, shows Rafa's not as wedded to the idea as it sometimes comes over. They did have a couple of half chances and if one had went in it would've been interesting to see if we'd move up a gear as I'm sure we haven't hit 2nd gear yet. Happy with the shape and organisation defensively but still think we could be more expansive when in possession. Early days yet like and sure it'll come as the players get used to it.
  6. Expecting to see..... Sels Yedlin Hanley Lascalles Dummet Hayden Shelvey Ritchie Diame Perez Gayle I would play................. Sels Yedlin Mbemba Lascalles Gamez Ritchie Hayden Shelvey Atsu Gayle Mitrovic Given who the ref is I wonder if this could be the first occasion where the managers team selection could be influenced by the ref (Mitrovic not playing) ?
  7. An even longer shot.. Any Ukrainian channels showing the match? Even longer shot, Bhutan ? (I'm not there, just wondering)
  8. Constantly talks, organises, cajoles. Closest thing we have to a leader.

    You live in a country which has piggy-backed on English wealth and ingenuity for centuries and you support a team which hasn't won anything for almost half a century. Ambition? You also have the worst owner I can remember in the North East considering how wealthy he is. Pot and kettle mate. Slightly off topic but us English have been banging on about the EU for decades. We get a vote and BANG! we're gone. You lot have been bleating on about the English for even longer, you get a vote and you bottle it. Does us a favour down here, have another referendum ASAP and just go. Enjoy being in the Eurozone and trying to pay off your share of the debt. Any chance you can edit that and turn it into a "me" as you aren't speaking for me.
  10. They could be but not at the same time. Rafa will only play one attacking full back at a time unless we are chasing a game. We actaully have a decent set up to go 3 at the back and wing backs.
  11. Given the squad and Rafa's love of rotation we should run a sweep type of thing. Nominate your team by noon of the preceding day (to beat bib theory), point per starter, winner is king till the next game.

    Strongest Eleven

    Shouldn't really be any difference between home or away in this division.

    Why do you think it needs to be kept? Emergencies, trials and getting youngsters some experience. Some changes to make.....no loans to clubs in the same division, no fees for loans, 3 month maximum, maximum of 3 in and 5 out per season.

    They are sooo behind the times. We were doing that years ago with Luque.
  15. 12? "away" i asked for? away goals count as double ?
  16. You've got until the post slammed window midnight deadline to decide. MAKE YOUR CHOICE I absolutely agree that both sides can be held at the same time i think he made it clear he wanted to go and that was that (like Ian says). I'm not convinced he would have stayed even if we'd avoided relegation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Time to move on and accept we're in the Championship and have had to cut our cloth accordingly. Think Rafa's done a very good job and I'm actually glad this window is closed and looking forward to the season. Yet we can't get on with it because there's an international weekend. Bloody stupid that the season stutters and limps on for a few weeks, season starts but everyones concerned about the transfer window, then it shuts and we have 10 days to wait. The transfer window should before the season starts.
  17. Is it true he's Spurs record signing ?
  18. Reminds me of Spitting Image David Coleman
  19. Didn't Spurs not have an 18mill bid turned down for him a year or so before he came here ?
  20. Wouldn't sticking to his guns have meant not even talking to Everton (and I don't mean just not answering Koeman's call).
  21. tbf I don't think he's really acted the twat towards Everton. Just received what he considers a better offer when not under contract to either. I'm sure we've had players that have done that in favour of us.
  22. or the nurse says to the doctor "You've been transferred, your now doing the medical for Spurs"
  23. Even unequal bids. If Moussa decides he'd rather go to Spurs then it's up to us wehter we accept it. It's why bidding wars are now more so about players wages than the transfer fee.
