OK, Just seen a tweet from someone saying that he's out for the rest of the season with an injury - any truth to this rumour ?
-
I believe that the FA asks each club in advance of releasing the fixtures if the club is 'happy' (by this they ask the club secretary) to a point of the who and when - then they are released the following week or so. As I remember that there was a guy at Man Utd - who was leaving under a cloud, and agreed the fixtures - then it transpires in the middle of January that the derby with city was to be at Old Trafford on the aniversary of the Munich crash. Many a person not happy with the timing, this was in 2008.

Well Milner isn't coming to us - though not sure if he ever was - but to confirm - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61704658

I know this will seem a stupid question, but here goes - With the cost of living rising, and all of the other financial issues people may be facing, would you pay 'top whack' for an original new shirt or don't mind and pay less for a fake / rip off ?

Chris Wood (now playing for Nottingham Forest)
South-Cheshire-Toon replied to BeloEmre's topic in Football
Interesting to read this on the been website - re team reviews of the season - in Burnley's review - Player whose time is up: Wout Weghorst. Turns out he wasn't a superior Chris Wood after all. Hmm, and we think Woods is a square peg in a round hole. -
Do you have 2021/22 - so as to see what it thought of this season ? might be a total load of shite as a predictor.

Red card for those deliberate take outs when some ones running forward with the ball but there are other defenders getting back. Like that twat Bruyner did to Maxi at the Man City game last week.

Balls on the bath - who's going down?
South-Cheshire-Toon replied to The Prophet's topic in Football
I know there's a dedicated wood post, but just to say that at the time of signing we'd just lost Wilson and as we couldn't change the system easily they went out and bought a oval peg for a round hole. -
Wrexham 1-0

On the whole managerial front I'm taking the view that trying to compare managers from one era to those of another is like trying to mix oil and water - it's a waste of time. The ethics of management up to a point, and the period 1992 - 1995 is where things started to change - were a whole lot different to those since. The 'old' style, was as people have stated, pick the best 11, go out there and play interesting football - doesn't matter about the result. But since the initial SKY era, things are now much more competitive, as in there is much more to loose, this being £'s and millions of them. There has been much more of a focus on style, as in how to the opposition play, and how can we 'beat them', hence all of the formation switching, player rotation etc etc. Yes, KK was a good manager, and Yes, Eddie is a good manager, but you can't compare the two - water and oil - as I see it.

Newcastle United vs Liverpool, Saturday 30/4/2022 @ 12:30 (BT)
South-Cheshire-Toon replied to LRD's topic in Football
I noticed on the everton game that pool started as a 4-4-2 but TAA often went on walkabout - so if this could be exploited then there could be a chance. as the right back looked like a fish out of water tbh. -
Think Liverpool know what it means to win and the shit Everton would be in if they did. A stern half talk will do the world of good.
-
Liverpool too blasé, looks more like the simpsons football episode. Need a goal for someone to liven things up.
-
Looks like everton are playing 4-5-1. So as soon as the first goal go in then it will open up at the back.
-
Lucky for me I have access to a sky go acc. So will be watching the game in a min. Never have the sound on for those commentators- seems like they always are talking bollocks.

Checking the latest odds, betfair have Burnley at 6-5, and Everton at 20-21. This is getting very fucking close.

Pos. Team pld gd pts 16 Leeds 32 - 30 33 17 Burnley 33 - 16 31 18 Everton 31 - 19 29 19 Watford 33 - 36 22 20 Norwich 33 - 47 21 If Burnley could win their next game, and Everton lose today and against Chelsea, then I think even with the games in hand it would be too much for the shite scousers to over come a 5 point gap. Come on Burnley.
