Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

No more loan deals like Phillips , pounds per minute he must be the worst signing we have ever made, calamity in every game. I’m not sure anyone saw his complete collapse in ability coming. Most pundits said his loan signing was excellent business and at the time, I agreed with them. Just goes to s...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Moyes has done wonders but De Zerbi is clearly a better coach and tactician, hence everyone in football lauding him and biggest clubs in the world being linked. How do you measure ‘better coach’? The league table suggests he isn’t better. I think De Zerbi still has a lot to prove. But hey, what do ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Our aspiration should be to have an elite training ground. Really? Surely we should aspire to win things and compete. I think players should be more than happy with what we have. Maybe I’m just not with the times, but I’d rather they toughened up a bit and accepted less than perfect conditions in r...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Caravans to some bust Icelandics to dildo merchants doesn’t mean we can’t and shouldn’t aspire for more. What more do you expect us to achieve? What league position is acceptable for you? What other trophys will we win? If we had been consistently poor for an extended period of time, I could unders...

Re: Grow 2021-24

Spent some time in the garden today. Mowed the lawns that are now looking great after feed, weed and reseed over the past couple of months. The garden is looking fantastic with plenty of tulips and bluebells in bloom. Planted my gooseberry bush and dug over my veg plot. It felt like a beautiful spri...

Re: ✍️ Welcome Lucas Paquetá - Our Brazilian Magnifico

One thing's for sure, when he goes to City pep will ruin him, like he's done his other creative force Grealish. He will be forced to drive forward and constantly play the ball back and recycle again. City are so boring to watch he will become frustrated and I would see him suspended more than he is...

Re: VAR 2023/24

:clap: Looked a nailed on penalty for me. Unlucky perhaps, but player definately moves him arm to ball and you can see by his reaction he knows it. As for the 2nd one, once again VAR managing the minutea is the problem. It's very, very marginal but probably correct decision, but should have stuck w...

We’re politically neutral apparently.

I’m not sure Ian Wright being ‘Woke’ is particularly relevant to his ability to call out diving.

Probably one for the NUMB forum, so I’ll get back on topic.

Re: CHampions League Terror threat

Not good at all. Fortunately we don't have to worry about anything similar at the London Stadium, as we already have in place a crack team of experienced and expert security personnel at every entrance. As soon as a terrorist stands up, they’ll be quickly told to sit back down again. Safety reasons...

I love the fact that one of them beautifully described their second half performance as ‘liquid dog s***’. Pure poetry.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Gary O'Neil is a good shout but, and there is no logic in what I am about to say, I have my doubts about the guy. He always seems to feel the world is against him and his team and I have always mistrusted people whose default setting is to look for excuses. No denying he's done a decent job with Wo...

Re: Little things that irritate you

Sorry to be going on about this, but you don't mean that they climb trees and eat green leaves still growing on them, do you? If you do, I have genuinely never known that. I'd instead thought that they hid until the dark and then chowed down on the stuff they find out on the beds in the gardens, or...
