Is there any reason why we all seem to be completely ignoring Matthew Craig’s loan spell at Doncaster? Sounds like he’s doing well and has carved out a First team spot...
I think it might be to an extent. Howe’s a good manager and will know what works against us, plus he has a depleted defence which will be pretty slow if Livramento is out. Would love it if they came out swinging but I’m not sure they will.
They have a ludicrous amount of injuries. Just tweeted that Willock and Hall are likely to be out and Livramento too.
Their saving grace is that they may have their best attacking players fit; I’m including Bruno Guimaraes in that. Might even work against us in that Howe is almost forced to low...
The Fighting Cock boys were talking about this and I got genuinely excited. Like they say, just imagine we kick-off and go straight our own end and blast it into the net. Everyone goes mad. Then we do it 100 times. Every goal we’re all celebrating and 60 thousand people do the Poznan.
I think...
Well, yeah 😀
My concern is that this goes a bit Chelsea. They like a good shithouse and we’re eminently wind-up-able. Plus I can see Gordon buying a penalty or two like he did against West Ham.
Oh yeah I absolutely agree, that’s why I posted that. I just think a cup success - any cup success - does have its own value too. Such as not having to have the same silly arguments about “taking the cups seriously” any more, hopefully 😀
I do disagree to an extent. Money underpins thing but Cup success on its own does help too. I think the Ange stuff is more than just PR - I think he wants to win everything. If you build a squad that can win the League then they’re going to be able to win the Cups too - at least that’s what...
That’s kind of my point though. You’re already wrong. From the article:
“…Tottenham have clearly ramped up transfer spend with an outlay of £558m in the last four years, which is more than twice as much as the £265m in the preceding 4-year period.
The growth in net spend over the same period...
Now you’re confusing me again. Your argument is that we prioritize financial aspects too much over football aspects. That makes a certain amount of sense with the Davinson Sanchez sale in that it left us short of a CB. But doing that jeopardized qualifying for the Champions League, which you...
I’m not so sure. It’s so obvious that for most teams the way to play us is low block and hit on the break, and Newcastle clearly have the potential to do the latter with Isak, Gordon, Barnes, Bruno Guimaraes etc. The big question marks currently are over their defence, and the low block might...
But if the opposite were true, how would that look different to what’s happened this year?
Liverpool spent Brennan Johnson money on Szoboszlai, Van der Ven money on McAllister and Gravenberch and Vicario money on Endo (a classic “Levy” buy). That’s basically all they spent this year. Is that...
Yes and no. He did take a risk with Ndombele etc and got burned.
We’ve tended to buy a lot of players in the mid-price range up to now because we were saving for the stadium and it was working. We’ve bought a lot of players in the mid-range since the Ndombele/Lo Celso splurge because we had to...
I’ve come into this party late, but the impression I’m getting is that you care about us being successful, and us spending money on players to achieve that?
If that’s the case, then read the guy’s post more carefully. We made a profit excluding football trading. We actually made a significant...
There’s been some discussion about the wage bill increases, and in particular the comparison with Arsenal. Is it fair to say that a decent amount of the wage bill increase has nothing to do with the playing staff and is more to do with the staffing of all our operations (new stadium, world-class...
That’s exactly what it felt like. It really looked like he initially went to go round the keeper then remembered what they’d worked on in training and tried to dive but he got the timing wrong and just sort of jumped up a bit
