Re: Relegation thread 2023/24

The three in situ are doomed, imho. Luton have spirit, in fairness, but I think they are too patchy across the team as a whole to go on a run. I find it a shame if the three promoted clubs go down. The only possible alteration in this prediction would arise if Everton got deducted a further 6 points...

Re: Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Ham United - match thread

In the FA Cup this season, Man City clearly used a tactic of basically standing an inch or so ahead of the goalkeeper, whenever they had a corner or dangerous freekick. They also realised that, having done it a couple of times, Spurs weren't drilled to counteract it. Lo and behold the game was event...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

Interesting countering views from WLH and Bubbs. I in part agree with both, but I do feel that Paqueta is 'world class' in an off and on manner. Secondly, nobody really wanted to sell Rice, but we're likely to finish higher after replacing him with a few players who bulked out the squad. For me, the...

Re: Away games, do some split football from a weekend away and enjoy the places you visit?

I'm intrigued, Pinks: which parts of France outside of Paris are dodgy, in your opinion?

And when you use that term are you meaning unfriendly, or something else?

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

Am I going out on a limb, here, to wonder whether there is some value in selling Paqueta this summer, if we can be sure that half of his fee will be invested in a direct replacement and the other half could be spent on a specialist left-sided attacker? I love it when he plays at his best - we all do...

Re: What did you watch last night?

Apocalypse Now We had to drag ourselves away from it, because, even though the other half had watched all of the On The Waterfront (and I watched the second half) and we had both watched the documentary about it afterwards, we knew that, if we stayed in our seats, we'd be marooned there watching it...

I have a feeling Liverpool will properly turn Man U over on Sunday, so if we win this we could finish the weekend in 6th place.

Re: Joe Lewis

If there was any justice in the world, this pensioner's plea bargain should have led to some Spurs players and fans being extradited to America to serve the jail time in place of the convicted person.

World's gone soft, really.
