  1. Superb from Buendia, so much better shape and attacking threat since he came on
  2. Buendia instantly making Villa miles better, Everton all over the shop
  3. Same as last week, they started looking slightly threatening once Coutinho went off, great signing and usage by Stevie G
  4. Doubtful, at this point, I think he'd find some fault with a Mila Kunis BJ
  5. LionOfGosforth

    Nick Pope

    I can't even see any of this, my work blocks embedded social media stuff, totally fucking tortured
  6. You're kidding!? He must be in his mid forties by now
  7. I posted earlier about going round in circles with the same poster(s) for days on end. It's pointless and exhausting. And that's just reading it, never mind doing the posting.
  8. Woosh...bloody hell another day gone, where does the time go? Oh yeah, it was spent going round in circles for the umpteenth day in a row with TCD. The club finds itself in that tricky position of making that leap to top 8, but not having the revenue/sponsorship/squad resale value to make the leap so we're being smart in the transfer market. Everyone has made some good points, i'm as anxious as anyone for new signings to bolster the front line, basically it comes down to trust. I trust the key people to get there, even if it's later than we'd all prefer.
  9. Whenever we're in the fortunate position to have a player of this calibre, it's natural to want to compare him to quality midfielders of the past. To be honest, he doesn't really play like anyone i've had the privilege to watch in our colours. In my lifetime, only Gazza and Rob Lee compare to this guy really and he doesn't directly play like either one, though he possesses similar traits of both players. He has the ability to tackle, intercept, dictate play, like Rob Lee could in another era. He also has that rare quality of being able to just grab a game by the scruff of the neck and drive us forward and create and even score, like Gazza in his prime, though we've yet to see him produce Gazza's amazing dribbling and artistry from dead balls and set pieces.. He's incredible to watch. I feel like the "top" teams really missed something as for me, he'd walk into most midfields out there. He's probably already close to tripled in value, given the ease with which he's adjusted to PL football. Feel like he could play and dominate in any league as his natural game defies and flourishes regardless of tactics and systems. A truly elite player and much much better than I even thought he was or could be.
  10. A key point and something Ashley never ever grasped in all his time here. Stunning that a billionaire businessman never understood that by trying to cut corners and employ yes-men and has-beens, instead of progressive coaches like EH, all he ever achieved was to drive down the value of the key commodity of the business, the playing staff.
  11. Enjoy Le Saux's analysis in games, nice antidote to Drury's tripe
  12. 9 defenders in there and Antonio still nearly scored
  13. "Their every fibre twitching". Fuck off man
  14. Drury has started already with "crackling cacophony". Fucking arsehole
  15. Brighton will be a right handful next week. Wish we could play Man Utd instead
  16. first game but they look exactly the same. Weak physically and mentally. They were fucking awful today, lucky not to lose by more.
  17. How many players under 5ft 8 do they have
  18. Sancho does so little, so poorly used
  19. Brighton rode the 5 minute storm well and killing the game nicely
  20. Man Utd, amongst many things, lack true physicality. Never seen them with so many tiny, though technical, players
