It's how Sully operates, he strings the player along, strings Moyes along, then when the fee is agreed he won't pay the correct wages so the talks continue. Sullivan drags it out and while all these talks go on and on for weeks, it means we can't sign anyone else. So then we run out of time and Sul...

If true, losing Onana to Everton because they are willing to throw more at him in wages than we are shows the progress we have made as a club. Not that long ago, all else being equal, Everton would have been a more attractive destination for players. Now we are the ones who have European football an...

Furthermore not all profits are paid to shareholders, the dividend has yet to be set. Profits are reinvested in R&D, green technology. As you know this stuff isn't magiced up. I have a particular bugbear about the reinvestment of profits argument because it's one of those things that sounds log...

Now that we are close to finalising Scamacca I’ve allowed myself to watch his highlights. He’s 6’5 but it’s definitely not his height that stands out. To me, it’s his quick feet, agility and how hard and accurate he can strike a ball from distance. He does score headers but that seems more of an ad...

Hope any rumours about Michael Keane are bollox, looked to be a major part of Everton's shitiness last season I expect that if you go back a couple of years you would find similar sentiment about Craig Dawson. Not saying I want Keane, just that if it's true I'd back Moyes to pick a decent centre ba...

Soucek and Rice played more minutes for us this season than anyone else (Rice: 4,422 Soucek 4,317 - equivalent to 47 and 46 games if you assume 94 mins per game). Soucek was clearly running on fumes at points during the season. The guy has barely stopped for the last two years. We need a back up tha...

The US commentator said that the pair of them have started more games than any other of our players, 50-odd, this season and Rice isn't that far behind. I did some more digging on this. There's 3,420 mins playing time in a PL season, 3,572 if you include an average 4 mins extra time. 7 players have...

My point is that they are such a steroid team that their fans surely must feel a bit of shame by now. They’re 20 points ahead of third. 32 points ahead of Man U who are in a Europa League spot. They’ve scored 23 more goals than the third placed team, 32 more than the fourth placed team. They won th...

Want to see us go with a strong team tonight. Prioritise this game and Sevilla next thursday, we can rest players on Saturday if needs be.

Seems to be a lot calling for Fredericks to start this one. Not sure I get it, yes he's quick but it's not like Saint Maximan is some sort of left sided Traore. He's a bag full of tricks and will cut inside as often as not. Fredericks will more than match ASM for pace but he'll get caught out of pos...

I agree with this and said the same on Sunday, I wonder if he/she doesn't sleep much. Would love to get pre baby Pablo back. My line up for what its worth. Fab Johnson (am I missing something here, I was surprised to see Fredricks come ahead of him at the weekend) Zouma (unlucky Diop, who was excel...

The opposition view: Leicester City https://www.kumb.com/story.php?id=136703 Honestly don't know what to make of this mob. Roger's won the FA cup for their first time ever less than a year ago and they are calling for his head. They are 11th in the league. It's a shame that their premier league win...

From that same run of fixtures we got 13 out of 15, it was a really easy run. The 5 wolves games in question being: Southampton Newcastle Villa Leeds (the draw) Everton Then the loss to Palace. Never stick your nose up at any run of good results, but there seems to be something of the flat track bu...

He will go to Chelsea if anywhere. Unfinished business for him. He grew up supporting them, his parents still do and his best mate plays for them, plus he won't have to move out of London. Kante is 31 in a few months time although he looks to have a few years left in him. That said I know that Pep ...

I can fully see us make a move for Lingard in January. Moyes likes to bed players in slowly but there are going to be a few tired legs after a busy December. Plus Benraham will be off to the afcon so we'll be at least a man down. We'll need someone to slot straight in and Moyes has trusted Lingard t...

You seen what they are charging for those seats up there for cat a++ games? There is money to be made, trouble is its another way of encouraging away support in the home end via our ticketing partners. It's all relative, I mean it's not a great deal in the grand scheme of things. Assuming all cat A...

Those seats are probably going to be right up in the gods. Legolas would struggle to see what was going on from there. The club can't be expecting to make much extra money out of this.

Notable as leap above Arsenal and Spurs in the London stadium size d*ck swinging league though.

Should we actually be prioritising this over the Europa league now? We practically need to win one more game against sides we have already beaten to bascially win the group. I think we've got to be prioritising Europa league. A win next Thursday all but guarantees winning the group (Vienna or Zagre...

I think rotation is needed here. With the changes to the Europa league, topping the group is key. We're in a great position but we have a chance to all but put it to bed next Thursday. Before the season started I think most would have said this is the least important competition. When you draw 2 of ...

The Kane situation has the potential to cast a pall over the whole of Spur's season. He looks a mile off his best but it's hard to see him getting dropped. Obviously Kane making his brother his agent looks a daft move in hindsight, and not putting a buy out clause in his contract looks crazy now. Bu...
