  1. Yeah they were storing the materials there for that site
  2. Was worst individual performance of the season by a long way.
  3. One real quality midfielder/winger for me to give us a boost but not rock the boat. Only other thing would be a backup right back - as the drop off to Manquillo the other night was mortifying.
  4. Schar and his heed man, it's every other week.
  5. If Wood starts I'd snap your hand off for a draw now mind.
  6. They've got a good pool of experienced CBs so it is not a huge surprise. Unlucky for him that it is clearly their strongest position. If he was a player of equivalent quality anywhere else on the pitch he would have waltzed into the squad. He will definitely be in the next Euros squad as a mainstay of the team.
  7. I reckon not tbh. Van Dijk, de Ligt, de Vrij, Timber, Ake are all capped and played recent games. I think he should be in there but honestly a long shot for an uncapped player to make it in ahead of players a manager has relied on previously.
  8. It's not that bad mind. Bayern midfield alone makes it a match for most other sides in the tournament. England really missed out on Musiala considering our options in that position. Werner being out is probably a positive overall. Biggest weakness is at CB.
  9. Not a bad draw. My only worry is that Bournemouth's World Cup players will be well home by then I we might potentially be without Bruno (or the England lads if you're a dreamer). But otherwise it's a very winnable tie.
  10. Man City - 5 Arsenal - 3 Newcastle - 3 Man United - 3 Chelsea - 3 Tottenham - 2 Liverpool - 2 Everton - 2 West Ham - 1 Leicester - 1 Dortmund - 1 We're massive.
  11. Gallagher and Phillips seem like weird picks on face value until you realise that nobody of any note has missed out.
  12. People screaming for Tomori couldn't have watched much of him this season. He's been awful. As is the case with such a large squad of 26 I don't think there is anybody who has missed out that you would consider scandalous. It's a reasonably fair pick of form players and players trusted from previous tournaments.
  13. Sloppy to the point where at times during the second half was genuinely not sure that he was fit. Played very much within himself. Did put in a couple of good crosses that we could have scored from like - which was about as close as we got to scoring all game.
  14. The groundhopper in me hopes for one of those lower league sides away. Except Gillingham as I went to that atrocious cup tie under Pardew. Other than that I'd take a home tie against anybody.
  15. We were pish tonight but Palace are absolute hoop, mind. Every time they come here they appear to be playing for 0-0. Glad that playing for pens backfired.
  16. Hope all you mugs enjoy the wireless as I will be in the Gallowgate
  17. Yeah that's unreal. I've been hoping for something like this for a while - I know Hartlepool have InTheMadCrowd which is similarly ridiculously thorough.
  18. Yeah Serie A you can pick whatever you want up to 99. PL you generally can't just pick the really high numbers. It has to be consecutive and closest to the nearest high number. Renato Sanches at Swansea tried to pick 85 and was told he couldnt - and there's quite a few other examples in the past. It's usually just youth players who then have the high squad numbers so you'll often only see those in league cup games and the likes. One of the few first team players with a high number I can think of is Alexander-Arnold who seems to have just retained his number since he broke through
  19. I mean it's hardly controversial or unreasonable. Set squad numbers have literally been a thing at every international tournament ever played. Higher numbers are possible at club level only because it's feasible to have far more players. Although even in the PL you can't pick the very high numbers (50-99) unless you literally have that many youth players named with numbers.
