As if Manchester needs another new stadium.

Elliot was the definition of a backup, average at all aspects of goalkeeping, but English and good for the qota

Krul had already lost his place at NUFC before Rafa arrived.

Didn't Rafa sign Sels to replace Krul 

Adam Armstrong is a must have? The guy who's scored 4 PL goals in about 60 appearances 

Remember, these aren't the rules forever. We'll either figure out how to circumnavigate these rules or we'll see them change again. I highly doubt if they change they're going to be even more restrictive, given how close Villa & Chelsea are reported to be to joining Everton & Forest.

I could see a breakaway UK only Super League at some point if nothing changes from here.

Southgate at Man Utd would be like a dream come true.

Shite.

Yeah, your probably right but he was excellent the first season.  I thought it was a good fee when we signed him, I don't think many thought it wassn't.  Remember now 15M is basically a bang-average premier league player.

 

 

 

He was a good signing like. As others have said its a massive shame how many injuries he's had. Still think 15m is a stretch. If he's on 100k as reported then we'll do well to get anything for him tbh.

Yep, if we could get the 15 Million back and I think he's good value at that it would be great business.  He doesn't fit what eddie wants in a Leftback.

15 million? 

We'll get something like 6 million with add-ons amounting to 8 if we're lucky.

The media would find some way to spin it to show them as the good guys who don't want to crush the hopes and dreams of young football fans worldwide. Or some shit.

It's a symptom of the PL product becoming more and more sterilised each year. The gap widening with everyone being told to stay in their lane, the invention of the celebration police, mobile phones being a 'go to' when there's a lull, general society in 2024 - people my age (36) and younger have been brought up to be spoon fed sheep. People of my age in the 90's and 00's were completely different beings and we just don't treat football like they used to.

It's just where we're at, we're not the only fans having these conversations.

I'm a bit confused here. The Premier League has a requirement to have a certain number of 'homegrown' players in the first team squad, but they don't have to be 'academy' players.

 

On the other hand there seems to be UEFA requirement for there to be 4 Academy players in the first team squad. Does that only apply to UEFA competitions?

Aye. The UEFA squad rules have more boxes to tick, for sure.

Amrabat has to go down as an absolutely shocking transfer

I'd wager miggy would've finished that.

I wouldn't even wager he'd make contact with the ball

Unless the areas at the top of the steps behind the Gallowgate are expanded and proper queuing lanes are set up (or additional turnstyles built in) an extra 13k people trying to get in to SJP is going to be an absolute disaster.

8 wins

I saw him, what possesses anyone to do that on a day like today?

Noisiest and most positive fan around me today was about 7 year old

 

Last season I was always in same section, I had mates nearby, I got to know people around me, we all enjoyed standing and making a racket, it was class.

 

This season I’ve had some dire experiences, it’s actually depressing being around these miserable twats and the disinterested arsewipes playing on their phones 

 

I don’t expect everyone to want to stand and sing, but to turn up with the sole intention of slagging our own players off, or to be sat scrolling Facebook when it’s 1-1 against Milan with 10 mins left. What’s the fucking point in these people being there ?

 

 

 

If you see anyone actively doing something on their phone please find out what network they're on for me

Couldn't enjoy today's win knowing that Eddie's nephew has been promoted

Think he'll be off in the summer, I think he certainly see himself as a number 1 somewhere unlike Karious who just seems happy to be involved in any role

Zero issues with him wanting to leave, best of luck to him if he does.

He's good enough as a number two like, there's no doubt about that. There was a cross that he claimed in between two Wolves players in the second half that was very good. He just does the basics very well.

It couldn't have been our game, howay man 

Just seen Norwich's goal. As if any of those defenders are worth actual money

Agreed

We've gotta cheek to call these new stadiums soulless

Today was the worst I've experienced post-takeover. Heron needs more mates in the corner, that's all it is. The random ballot and seating BS has ruined a lot of it. We were clinging on to something before that came into play.
