  1. The 0-0 with Brighton at home early last season sticks out for me. Looked up the stats of the game and Brighton had 72% possession.
  2. Thought that was a pen in the Man U West Brom game.
  3. Ter Stegan what the hell was that? Atletico beating Barca.

    England

    Commentator is obsessed with Calvert Lewin’s fashion.
  5. Valencia beating Real Madrid 4-1.
  6. Think we’ll get a result. We’re usually good against Chelsea.
  7. What happened to Bernardo Silva? Haven’t seen him in ages.
  8. McCarthy starting inside the goal to avoid infringement.
  9. Southgate should have them starting because of the chemistry they’ve developed.

    No idea why he's binned Barkley. He was always a strong performer in an England shirt.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  16. 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’.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Excellent set piece taler is Wilson. Wouldn’t mind that.
