    Steve McClaren

    Would be a million times a better appointment than Moyes or Rodgers.
  2. Average shot/goal ratio in the PL is about 15%. Thanks - do you know if individual player stats can be found? Tried looking for this before but couldn't find it.
  3. Against West Ham he had good opportunities and semi-opportunities. Couldn't join the party. Agreed - but that is one of the few games where he had multiple chances.

    That would be amazing. Both out of work and available - kind of managers who might be capable of actually making a difference. There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be able to attract them - that's the kind of manager we should be aiming for.

    Peter Beardsley

    Yeah - will be interested to listen to that one. I've listened to most of the other ones and I don't think there is a more annoying man than Hunter. His questions are just rambling and his tone is sycophantic.
  6. Was a pretty bad miss - he looked genuinely confused as to whether to try and head it or volley it and ended up getting his body in the wrong position (which seems to be a failing of his). As other people have said though - it's hardly as if he is missing 5 or 6 chances each game. But with out struggles the chances he does miss are that much more important. I'd be interested to know what the PL average is for chances/goals.
  7. He would be a much better player if he could actually control the ball and had a general awareness of what was going on around him.
  8. Being a winger playing at LB might be stupid, but it doesn't mean you make fucking stupid tackles.
  9. It's basically a completely useless phrase that means nothing. I suspect Chelsea thought that Torres was a proven PL goalscorer when they bought him and that Shevchenko was a proven goalscorer. Alternatively Arsenal probably hoped but had no real idea that Henry was going to be a prolific goalscorer. And agreed - when does a player become a proven PL goalscorer? If Vardy and Austin are proven PL goalscorers after one season, then so were players like Michael Ricketts, Marcus Stewart and DJ Campbell. It's just lazy.
  10. James Horncastle (Guardian Italian correspondent and on BT Sport) seems to think he will be a good signing and that Roma didn't really give him a chance.

    Football pet hates

    The use, overuse, or indeed, misuse of the word 'proven' when it comes to describing a footballer.

    Jose Enrique

    That Dutch journalist - Michael Jongsma - has queried Douglas on why we think we have a chance of getting Willems.
  13. EUR 20 million offer for Slimani turned down? According to France Football anyway.
  14. Yep - forgot him. just seems strange to end up looking at someone at Gomis. There must be other strikers around surely? That Ben Yedder guy at Toulouse seems worth a look or Niasse that Everton are interested in. It's hardly as if Gomis is a proven goal scorer in the PL. if anything - he has proved he isn't that good in the PL.
  15. Just don't get how our striker shortlist is/was berahino, remy, gomis and doumbia. Admittedly I can't propose any names myself, but is that genuinely the best we could come up with?
