Doctor Zaius

He's proved himself as an okay backup imo like. Not good enough for the first team but its rare that youre going to have two premier league standard keepers where one is happy to sit on the bench. He's better than Darlow and Selz for me.

Weird flex but ok

I dont think he's going to come straight in start pulling up tree's. He's going to need time, he's probably going to need to bulk up and work on his game. I actually think he might start fairly slow but its clear we're paying for potential here. Seem to remember Luka Modric taking time to develop at Spurs.

Once you chuck in your ST is that loyalty points gone for good? Do you start at zero again?

Ive seen him play a few times and being honest, looked crap. Probably better than Manquillo though.

Still think they'll go up comfortably but losing Maja is a blow. Replacing those goals wont be easy.

Fwiw I reckon when he'll probably back the next manager after Benitez, the same way he did with Shteve mc. He'll get one more season of spending nothing and us scraping 17th. He knows Benitez will keep us up and he knows the next man will need a bit. HMV and HOF have been bigger priorities. He knows that with success, he'll have to build on it. Benitez is too ambitious for him.

Hope this is true tbf and I very much hope he sticks to his guns and does one if he isnt given money. The whole thing is a total farce.

I think we've been pretty lucky with keepers over the years. Given seems to have been underated more and more as time goes on. He was absolutely class for ages like. There wasn't many better than him in the league during his time here. Harper was more than competent too, very lucky to have him as a backup. Krul was good for the majority of his time, though sadly went off the boil later and now Dubravka is very good. The last few years of Sels, Darlow, Elliot has been a bit of an anomaly. I understand there is a lot of nostalgia with Srnicek, I never seen him play in his first spell but reading behind the lines, he was largely inferior to his rivals at the time and a blatant weak link in the best of the 90's sides that we had.

Rumours he insulted islam in his meeting with Jiminez. Be class if some lunatic tries to behead him. Like when the IRA almost got Thatcher, except hopefully with a better outcome.

Wild stab at the "magic man"? Aye. Ridiculous that they keep paying him to talk yet he's never said anything close to insightful in years.

"Rafa Benitez couldnt have done what Neil Warnock has done at Cardiff. No Chance." Take a guess which dribbling alcoholic mess of a pundit came out with this claptrap?

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46863238 Cardiff spending 18M on a striker. Our situation really is beggars belief. :lol:

I dont thi nk he would do a job. 33 now and released from Al Nasr, clearly he's finished. Good player on his day but he repeatedly went on strike to get a move. In a era of mercenary cunts, he was one of the worst.

This, vlogs etc ....just fuck off with them, watch the fucking match in peace. Incase anyone missed this one.

I think its absolutely clear as day that Ferdinand was never going to criticise Ashley. "doesnt know him well" "but I will do", Its fucking obvious man. He's part of a business deal that involves Ashley. He's not going to criticise. Whether KB put him up to it who knows, but its clear that he has a complete conflict of interest when speaking about it. Okay, so he doesnt want to criticse Ashley because he's in partnership with him. What he should have done is played it way more coyly. He should have trotted out a few old tired cliches, been a little defensive of Ashley and he'd have largely gotten away with it. But no, he went full nuclear with his defence of Ashley and made himself look like an absolute twat. Tweeting things like 'we should be grateful to him'. To vehemently defend Ashley, he's overplayed his hand massively and he's been tore apart in the press. The clip of him spouting his rubbish has been played over 2M times on twitter, while other similar videos had a few hundred thousand views. None of the national press owuld have batted an eyelid had he not gone so over the top. So incredibly thick, so fucking stupid that he's went and done the exact opposite of what was intended and brought more attention to Ashley. I hope he's on for us next time, because he's far too dumb to come up with a reasonable argument and as such he'll end up being derided again. Cheers Rio, you fucking stupid cunt.

Would rather these go up as champions (which I think they will) than them win something at wembley.

I dunno like, surely you'd take just a passing interest in English football if you were a football manager. Just on the off chance a player came up that you liked the look of and maybe, wanted to sign or something?

He's second top scorer in league 1 at 20 years old, in his first full season and he 'hasnt heard of him'? Jesus christ

How small time is this man.

Aye, think that'll be a really good signing actually. If a 39 year old Kenny Miller has got 5 in 10 for a shite side this season you'd think Defoe would still have enough to bag a few.

The club banning members sorting displays and binning flags that have been paid for by donations. What a total shitshow this piece of shit club is like.

This stupid cunt at it again last night. Should have been sen off for that needless tackle on Pogba. Total Liability.

He left his man for a free header in the box man, its his fault like.

Cost us two points today because despite being in his prime, having played central midfield all his career, he's still unable to do the defensive basics like pick up runners. Thats why he'll never be more than a bottom half premier league player. Thick fucking cunt.
