  1. It seems the media storm in a tea cup narrative that has no substantiation has got a few thinking emotionally and filling in the gaps with their own negative slant. Until something has happened, nothing has happened so how a whole lot of nothing can be judged as a "shitshow" defies logic. See this is what happens when we don't play regularly, roll on Fulham in the FA Cup ffs.
  2. I think it has been more to do with the Eales interview that has spurred interest in some of our players and paper talk that has made it sound like we're ready to fling all our players out to the first bidder, gotta fill those columns. I'm pretty sure everyone has a price though and every position has a list of potential replacements, it's professional until it's not professional and they've done nothing rash yet.

    You've got Man Utd asking SA clubs for £50m for Antony, no way Miggy is worth less than £30m

    Absolutely gutted about this, I've never understood the Miggy hate and there will be fans rubbing their hands together that he's finally off, yes he can be frustrating but he has qualities that are going to be hard to replace. Full of energy, never stops running through brick walls for us and his energy and speed have turned over so many plays high up the pitch leading to some crucial goals, love him to pieces but he's 30 next month so probably is the right time to let him go doesn't make it any less gauling. Thanks for everything Miggy 🖤🤍
  5. Girona v Sevilla 14 minutes in and it's already 2-1
  6. It boils down to Trippiers value to us is much more than his value as a football player, we could never get a reasonable offer that we would let him go for.
  7. That's your problem, twitter doesn't represent real life at all, just angry, shock value, keyboard warriors and wums
  8. It's not just the FFP though, now they're saying " You can only spend how much you earn, but we'll also dictate how much we think you should earn.". Stinks to high heaven, it's so blatantly obvious it's just anti-competitive and the same voices of discontent that call all the shots to prevent any meaningful competition.
  9. I was agreeing with you not having a dig mate
  10. When you've got no subs of substance and players running themselves into the ground it's hardly a surprise is it? We gave it our best shot, had we scored just before KDB came on it might have been a different result but at 2-1 it felt inevitable. Villa will compound our misery but I'm sticking to my prediction of a spring comeback for us, just hope it's not too late for some kind of European venture next season.
  11. Glad I watched this with a Liverpool supporting mate rather than followed along on here you'd think we were shocking. It was a gut punch to lose but look at the facts, we were good for our 2-1 lead but ultimately they were able to bring on a world class player when our players were gassed plus another couple of LFL class players and we had Lewis Hall 🤷‍♂️ It is what it is, I'm proud of the effort the team gave today, Dubravka made some amazing saves to keep us in it, we defended well for the most part and we countered with intent and clinically when we got the chance. The difference between us was the fact their squad is worth twice the price of ours and their subs were better than our starting players. Gutting but had a feeling of inevibility about it, KDB changed the game.
  12. Can't fault the players, we ran out of gas in the second half, KDB is just a cheat code, he's too good. Gutted because I thought we deserved something from that,
  13. What are you blithering about? Can't stand them and the way they think the world is against them and their hyperactive manager bouncing up and down on the touchline, angry spitting everywhere and grinding his turkey teeth to dust. Literally nothing to admire about them, regardless of their results against us.
  14. I'd rather those perennial victims and their MDMA jawed IED didn't win a thing tbqh
  15. If Liverpool and Chelsea go out it's going to be sickening
  16. They were good for the win, thought they played well in the main, given their opponents. Thought Wigan might punish them for their poor finishing, but a super soft penalty finished the game as a competition. I thought Garnacho and Mainoo played well, but Rashford was pretty horrific again. He seemed to amble around and was selfish on the ball, the first goal was fortuitous due to another Rashford greedy shot that luckily came back to him.

    We heavily rely on the pace and energy of Miggy, great to see him back to his best albeit against a lacklustre Sunderland. We'll see much more of this Miggy now the games have slowed for us, 9 tackles, 90% pass accuracy, 10 duels won, an assist and a couple of right footed crosses to make his point (although telling that no one anticipated them). Obviously we need an upgrade, but he hasn't deserved the abuse he's been getting for the last month by fans and he still has a part to play here for a few more years off the bench.
  18. Burn will be fine against these and he'll be well up for it
  19. I went for the yellow cards and Isak to score anytime with the epic boost for 150-1 £604 return
  20. Averages 4.59 yellows per game
