  1. If over spending is only a 10 point deduction surely there is the temptation to spend big by clubs, blow the budget but build a strong squad, take the hit one season then build from there. 10 points is a lot to risk if you’re in a relegation battle, but not so bad if you’re confident to finish top half with a handicap for 1 year. Really I think the punishment should be more severe so that it’s detrimental to those at the top end of the league not just the bottom.
  2. Was pretty good as a teen, was blessed with lightning pace and incredibly fit, I played for our schools Football, League and Union teams, but I squandered it unfortunately. I played for my region, and ended up breaking into my towns First team in the mens when I was 16. That year I was invited to go to South IAmerica to play in a youth tournament, I got to play against Gremio, San Lorenzo and Penarol. It was quite the eye opening experience, managed to put one past Gremio as well. While there, we were doing a training session at a military base fields, and we had Real Madrids scouts come along to watch us. That year i ended up scoring 46 goals in 21 games, and I was invited to come trial at QLD Roars youth team during the A Leagues early years, I was playing with them the following season, getting the chance to train alongside players that were on trial for the senior squad, while also playing for my home towns senior team and district rep teams when i probably dhoulfny have been. Unfortunately that year I injured my knee pretty badly, in what would end up being a long running recurring problem for me, and I also had a bit of a mental break down, which involved giving up the game entirely for the better part of 6 years. I still play a little bit here and there, but 2 ACL reconstructions and not looking after my health, I now tend to play as a target man, then an advanced forward because my mobility isn't what it was 20 years ago
  3. No chance the club were going to go sign Gordon in January only to use him as a bargaining chip to get Adam Armstrong. Another striker was needed, but getting one to suit our system may have not been doable for an acceptable cost. While DCL would just be another to add to the revolving of door of our Physio room alongside the rest of our strikers.
  4. Liverpool love a chance to pretend they have the moral high ground don’t they, yet every time there’s a chance to act like greedy pricks they’re first on the bandwagon.
  5. Alongside kuol, probably the best young talent coming out of Australia at the moment. A League isn’t EPL standard, but he’s 17 and played close to 40 professional games already.
  6. Kinda hope while they appeal it, the punishment is put on hold and it drags into next season when there's not a guaranteed 3 going down already
  7. Was always going to be a tough group to get out of, but it's the fact we were so close so many times that makes it feel like such a harsh loss, plus a couple more injuries. Game was just not meant to be ours
  8. Feel like Barnes would've been great for this game
  9. Feels like nothing we can do is ever going to find the back of the net
  10. Pope wanting to deal with his boredom there
  11. Timing of that run from Gordon is way beyond his age, that kid has so much potential
  12. Longstaff has a great way of finding space
  13. We could have 5 by now just from that attack down the right hand side
  14. Gordon's got some engine on him doesn't be
  15. Bruno's gonna fire up after that challenge
  16. Early goal is going to force palace to now come out and not sit back. Should be a good game from here
  17. Good save from Pickford there
