Re: The new kits thread

Add to that, the increasing size of sponsor logos, and you're basically being asked to fork out to be a walking billboard for a (9 times out of 10) betting company while wearing something Sports Direct would probably sell for £10-£20 if it didn't have a club crest on it. It should be full price wit...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

I get your view as well, but we’re twelve years deep into their tenure now and they’ve shown exactly how much contempt they have for our ordinary support over and over, year upon year. I genuinely don’t think if you still choose to go and put money in their pockets you can be shocked or angry at th...

I don’t understand why you expect them to change their ways and do you a favour?

They’re scum, always have been.
I understand your view but why would i let them win by giving up a massive part of my life ?

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa vs West Ham Utd: match thread

The laws of the game are open to interpretation. Thats why VAR officials and refs, with a soft spot left over from their youth for a big club, will never be fair over the course of a season.

Re: Takeover talk

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

So with the serious flooding on Hackney wick and at Pudding Mill station yesterday does anyone know if our pitch flooded ?
If not does that mean we could dig down and bring the stands closer to the pitch and put to bed the excuse for not doing so ?

What about the other shareholders seeing money leaking out of their assest in interest to someone who sits next to them on the board ?

yess but he was played central , and was a huge success , he got another england call up, where they promptly played him back on the wing and was dropped my point being, we needed Downing when we were short out wide and short in the middle.

Tbh, the Lingard signing reminds me of Downing - similar ages, England records and even similar type of player. Downing did very well for us, I thought.
How many wingers did we already have when we signed Downing ?

Re: January 2021 Transfer Window

If he comes in - presumably it allows Fornals to cover Dec or Soucek in the middle. I honestly think Fornals would flourish in the centre - he is like a little terrier and has an eye for a deep pass. He also gets into positions to score. Why would we buy a player to play in a position we have at le...

This will just be about ensuring a majority for the Sullivan(s) on the board for some upcoming (possibly) controversial proposal.

Can't we loan him to Ajax and loan King from Bournemouth ? He gets goals for Ajax and we get more money for him in the summer.

But to say to say some people wont renew or even buy on speculation, rubbish. Course they will. They will as they will think they dont want to miss out.
