  1. I wonder if PIF would have gone ahead with the takeover had they known about FMV etc ? and I wonder if we've lived up to expectations as a project (ie size of sponsorship deals, corporate reach etc) ?
  2. I put it down to a small squad (what we were left with) and extra games you can't really play a second XI for, it's not like we got league cup draws at home to Colchester.
  3. We'd no Centre forward at Bournemouth, look at our centre halves at Man Utd in the league cup. For us it's been as much yeah we've 11 fit players..... but that's it for 2+months with games every 3 or 4 days.
  4. They haven't constantly had the numbers down we've had, similar with Man Utd, they've had a week or two where the numbers have been similar but it hasn't been as consistent for so long. I'd also add with a smaller squad in more games.
  5. We've had that for 2 months.
  6. There was both. Hidden payments going out AND inflated sponsorships (and vagueness over where some of the money for trem originated) coming in.
  7. It means we are creating a lot more chances. Not just defending and hoping to snatch something.
  8. Often given but never a pen. The epitome of "there's contact" but it didn't send him down.
  9. It's a no win for football really isn't it ?
  10. Tonali, Livramento and Barnes together were comfortably over 100m.
  11. If a deal becomes available (Gordon style), do it.
  12. It should be both. Brighton are good at it but have to sell first teamers. Man City do it without that. Chelsea could be interesting as Gallacher is a first teamer....could their well be running dry ?
  13. Bruno with better around him will step up. Isak.... don't think he fits the current 433 but I do t thi k the current 433 is our destination.
  14. As does Man City's. Hopefully we will in a few years.
  15. Don't understand the pessimism V optimism debate. Isn't realism the winner ?

    I'm sure Brentford had a bid rejected last summer, possibly Palace as well.
  17. Thats Sean Longstaff getting pulled and its a free kick for a high foot.
  18. Barnes is due back about the same.time as Murphy isn't he ?
  19. Quotey edit type thing to clarify. We've said it about loads of wide players up against him and he hasn't had many games where he's came off worst.
  20. Haven't we done that for about 18months now ? Dan Burn against whoever.
  21. I thought that at the time (middle tier Gallowgate). Changed my mind when when I saw it back

    Re Longstaff. Bruno and many others get those free kicks all the time.
  23. Wonder if any insurance would cover his ban ?
  24. Got to say, I'm not a massive fan from what I've seen. However Leeds supporting mates raved over him being all over the pitch in a good way and when Leeds were good it was because of him and he'd have been perfect for us before going to Man City I'll err to those that saw him most.

    Those Strawberry Corner stalwarts disappeared fairly sharpish on boxing day.
