  1. Valencia beating Real Madrid 4-1.
  2. Think we’ll get a result. We’re usually good against Chelsea.
  3. What happened to Bernardo Silva? Haven’t seen him in ages.
  4. McCarthy starting inside the goal to avoid infringement.
  5. Southgate should have them starting because of the chemistry they’ve developed.

    England

    No idea why he's binned Barkley. He was always a strong performer in an England shirt.
  8. How do the bottom 4 fit what your saying ? A 23 year old Gary Cahill moving to Bolton? Probably hundreds of examples of young players moving and getting better elsewhere Johnny Evans was about 27 wasn't he when left? not exactly young But would you say Man U felt they got the utmost out of him and never thought he’d get better so sold him on and signed Rojo or whoever? Mistake by Man U as they’ve spent big when they probably should have kept him around. Thought of another one - Abdoulaye Faye us to Stoke.
  9. Maybe a better term would be “players they thought had hit their ceiling and decided to sell” Pirlo to Juventus? Always thought that was weird but not sure if it was Pirlo that wanted to go to Juve or Milan who thought they could do better.
  10. Was thinking of players teams sold early because they thought they had got the most out of a player’s lifespan. For us Gary Speed - Newcastle to Bolton. Played another four years. Eight goals at 36-37 for Bolton Solano - both times. Was one of West Ham’s best players 07/08. We could have used that Gary Cahil - Villa to Bolton. Johnny Evans - Man U to West Brom Albrighton - Villa to Leicester Kouyate - West Ham to Crystal Palace

    Joelinton

    And I’d want one of them(more Almiron) starting over him every week. Sucks they’re sacrificed because of his price tag.
  12. So frustrating watching Ayoze for Leicester. Feel like he’s always trying to prove his worth to the team and the fans. For us we knew his quality and we wanted him starting every week. Feel like Leicester fans have him in the ‘jury is still out camp’.
  13. Was Darryl Janmaat a flop for us? HITC Sport did a list on flops that signed after a tournament and for us they picked Janmaat. I thought he was one of our better players that season.
  14. Kante - was has happened to him post the WC - he was dreadful against WBA He was fine. He’s Chelsea’s best player by a mile. He’s actually gone up a gear in influence but it’s hard from his deep lying midfield role.
  15. Seen the handball covered all over the news and I can't see why. It was a stonewall pen IMO and if it hadn't been given, I'd be fuming. If that was Man Utd, there would be no discussion. Feel like the media is trying to cover for Jose here. They can't accept he's not the manager he once was.
  16. We're the worst. Even when we do play well, it feels like we're on the verge of collapsing. Everything we do takes as much effort as the players have. Rely heavily on individual talent - ASM dribbles or last ditch tackles and blocks. I'm always excited before our games but the moment the game starts, I remember how bad we are and I want it to end.
  17. Excellent set piece taler is Wilson. Wouldn’t mind that.
  18. He fired him because they started terribly last season like which is shit pathetic loyalty to the man who got you in the top four places three-four seasons in a row. That squad still made top six at the end. They would have turned it around eventually.
  19. I know it may not be to some but top four is a trophy to me. Poch finished second, third and even fourth in the Champions League final season. Levy essentially fired him for not winning the league cup!

    It’s ridiculous. The 8:30 game tonight - not on TV. The 9:30 game tonight - not on TV. ESPN2 are showing a replay of the Formula 1 ffs. It looks like everything is on ESPN+ but you don’t get a pre/post game show. No chatter. It just comes off so sterile.
  21. Darlow Manquillo Lascelles Fernandez Lewis Hendrick Hayden Shelvey ASM Wilson Almiron What I'd like to see.
