  1. To be fair if you go far enough back we have had wars with the majority of the world... So it all ends up English only and Big Sams redemption! But in all seriousness if we had a premier league with 20 English managers, one would win the league and three would be relegated (and I reckon it would be the same clubs as now). Just that the big clubs went foreign first and then teams who were challenging for Europe and gradually even lower league teams. The pot is so small that you end up having u21 coaches being pushed to be first team managers
  2. So just to get up to speed. Will it take a while to change the current rules to stop us. Or will it take a while to change the current rules that are stopping us now?
  3. It just looked like extra time in the latter stages of a cup.. where you just chuck your best players on and hope for the best. Spain won a tournament without a striker but that was a well worked team that were all comfortable on the ball and knew their role. Our midfield play without a plan or a desire to pass to each other. They certainly didn't help themselves or the manager secure their future
  4. Greece was always going to be the hardest game... Seems strange to try and introduce whole new system. Plus some of the players look like Temu version of themselves.
  5. Add him to the list of Marcelino with his sore finger Pistone with his Sheeps heart
  6. I was thinking more the quick breaks we used to do where the ball is played across the ground rather than in the air. If we could isolate Isak or Gordon against one or two defenders for pace I'm confident we would have more success. At the moment we condense the final third and struggle to find the killer ball
  7. Personally i believe it's down to having wingers who look to shoot or don't play the ball to the forward at the earliest opportunity... same as mid week against Wimbledon. Only Murphy is a natural crosser of the ball. Barnes, cuts in shoots Gordon, drives into the box before either shooting or cutting his angle off. Miggy, defends his own attacks by either running the ball out or passing backwards. Always remember Shearer saying he grabbed Ginola after a game and told him to stop cutting back and cross the f'ing ball
  8. Not sure out health and safety regulations are the same as Russia's when it comes to temporary stands.... Just add a couple of these bad boys to Gateshead or Kingston Park for a year when we rebuild lol
  9. Just go to the game, sing, chant what you want People next to you will either join in or they won't. Then people next to them will do the same. Then all of a sudden you have a corner, a stand , a stadium joining in. Simple really
  10. About 40 mins in Howe and tindall said something to him making short nothing passes Second half he was moved to CB Maybe he doesn't want to play lb but I would rather see him fail with a cross then pass 10 metres to play safe
  11. He wasn't helped by senior players making sideways passes or not being able to cross or attempt a through ball from the middle Yes it was a five man defence but I can guarantee they would have made mistakes if we had actually tried to attack.
  12. There will be uproar at Nissan tomorrow when all the Mags were allowed the late shift off but their crowd was impacted as 15,000 mackems had to work instead!!
  13. Maybe limited to 3 per season once it's stated
  14. It would also allow struggling clubs to generate funds for financial safety or refresh their squad options. Some clubs live to develop and sell players to bigger clubs, it's part of their philosophy (Brighton)
  15. Old school but I do miss the window being open all season and closing in March. I mean the chronicle had us bidding for different players every other day... The likes of Ryder and Hope could never cope making up that many stories a week!
  16. Come on that's not right... Surely it's Listen to my exclusive breakdown on the behind the scenes bust up between Howe and Mitchell on how they disagree on how to best to pet my dog.
  17. Of course it's a penalty, the same as a hundred similar ones before have been penalties for the same or less contact. To say anything else is too rewrite the rules, var and modern football. As they say don't hate the player, hate the game.
  18. If the options were Miggy or Murphy today, what would you go with if you were Howe?
  19. The club needs to find ways of the stadium generating money 365 days a year. From bars and restaurants for the masses to top end cuisine for those with serious money to spend. I'm sure spurs even have a go kart track on site, so what can we do to get the kids parents spending money ! At present the facilities remind me of an 80s social club.
  20. That's what i thought but the app will not let me select anything but the Brighton tickets.
  21. Next question... Do all three of us need to be members or just me. Honestly not going to pay 140 quid just to get ahead of the queue
  22. So do you have to be a member and a season ticket holder today Or just a season ticket holder?
  23. When Newcastle are allowed to spend the same as the top 4, able to buy kids just to sell on and fund their mega first team squad or able to pay wages that blow other teams out the market... Then I will judge the manager or howe fairly compared to his peers. Not now when he has to battle on an unfair playing field
  24. I remember Robson making it work with Dyer and Solano as wingers. He would even switch them around during the game to get the best of what ever fullback was playing. Say the RB is getting the best of Gordon, we flip it for 15 mins and see how they cope with Barnes
