  1. So so glad this noncey cunt isn't our manager anymore.
  2. Can't believe there's still spackers out there who film stuff in vertical video.
  3. Phenomenal straw man construction.
  4. Excellent. Unfortunately the club waited a month too long to bring in Benitez.
  5. even willing to overlook their blatantly obvious bogus transfer dealings. Reckon their move of stadium will harm them though. They're a weird team like, occasionally brilliant, occasionally suped up Pulis ball. Always dying for the shirt though and can't ask for more than that. Their fans are fascist cunts. That's something bad about them.
  6. He almost always is. Great little player. No Partey, no party.
  7. Probably somewhere between £50-100, varying depending on how much swapping you do instead of pack buying.
  8. Noble is a player who will play 500 games for West Ham and you'll not be able to remember one thing he did. Non entity of a player, especially at international level.
  9. But the B team matches aren't proper matches. The strength of the line-ups changes wildly from a week-to-week basis meaning there is no team continuity, they play in front of empty stadiums, and then because they aren't real teams with real ambitions they can't get promoted or have nothing tangible/long term to play for. It's a simulator that fails to replicate the real thing (hence why the big Spanish clubs have their players out on loan anyway), while in the process destroying the credibility and competition of the lower divisions. Imagine one team playing against 'reserve' B team one week, then the next week a different team plays the same B team that's full of U18s because the main team has called them up for a League Cup or Europa League game. This happens all the time in the European examples and it renders the idea of a fair competition a farce. Basically you're destroying the lower league system, giving more opportunity for top clubs to hoard players and for no real guarentee that it will have any effect on improving the national side. If you want to know why Germany and Spain are dominating international football and producing massive amounts of high quality players you need to look at the amount of proper qualified coaches they have and what they're doing with them at an early age. The idea that you can just drop a load of B teams into our deep football pyramid and solve the issues is absolutely typical of the sort of lazy, lacklustre quick fixes that the FA love.
  10. Barcelona loan out their decent youngsters because the B team doesn't cut it. Germany and Holland introduced it to the disaster of their lower league system for no observable or measurable gain whatsoever.
  11. The idea that its the B-teams that are behind the success of the Spanish national side and not the vastly greater number of coaches and superior youth development is beyond ridiculous.
  12. Horrendous post. It's absolutely awful in just about every conceivable way.
  13. 7 million loan fee with a clause to buy for 21 million. All just dodgy accounting.
  14. Weird how everybody always goes on about Arsenal having too many technical ballplayers in midfield when their biggest problem atm is having cloggers like Coquelin and Flamini playing in midfield.
  15. Craig Hope loses any respectability when he's writing for the Mail. Soz like.
  16. Palace superseded Sunderland the moment that cunt walked through the door. Wish nothing but misery upon him and them.
