Plenty of sodden mattresses this morning, I imagine. 🤣

Hopefully we get this Reis from Hamburg, he looks the business.

Yes, valid point, however if he has to make way for a CDM to come in, then so be it. Nothing against him personally. I just hope if he does go, then we get the other incoming transfer over the line in time.

Inconsistent and injury-prone; if this move allows a decent CDM through the door, so be it.

I think the remark is regarding our necessity for a competent CDM, and the fact he didn’t join us. 👍🏻

Have to say, Bassette looks really sharp. Quick, aware and rapid. Hopefully this isn’t trained out of him. 🤣

Insert sarcastic comment here.

2-1 win. PUSB ⚽️

Ah, a Polish friend used to make this and bring it to work with her to feed me on our 12 hour shifts, it was stunning. Her Bigos was also delicious. She was from Częstochowa, lovely girl. 🇵🇱

If he had the productivity and impact of a ‘luxury player’, I wouldn’t mind so much. Not quite David Ginola or Dimitar Berbatov, is he?

What if we got a really shit 6 and another injury prone 8/10, would the difference give us a 4 or a 2 on average? Would we still need another fucking 6 or what? 🤣

Ah right, thanks. 😆

My kingdom for a box-to-box CDM…

That looks amazing, what’s it coated in? Is it onions? Pardon my rapidly failing short range vision.

This is essentially what I was alluding to, regarding the necessity of a ‘lieutenant’ on-field - I don’t personally understand the concept of a shared leadership on-field, which has been mentioned a few times. Such a system does not work, at all. The burning question for me, directed at those...

Has modern football ‘evolved’ beyond a team captain/leader? I disagree that such a role can be shared amongst many players, as the advice and guidance may vary, instructions will also vary if one or more decides they know best and undermines the collective objective. It does happen in a team...

We had a very competitive and effective squad in 97/98 and 99/00. The latter was a damp quib of a season, obviously, as our away record crippled that season. Personally, I think the 97/98 team was better, as we finished 11th in the PL and knocked the Villa out of the QF’s of the FA Cup. We had...

More of a Normann, but it still counts.

My favourite Keane goal was the one against Arsenal at HR, the 3-2 win. The way he flicked/directed it past Seaman from such an angle (with his right foot) was just incredible.

Think it was 14, but anyway, our home form was indeed outstanding that season. Our best squad for years, and Strachan contrived to finish lower than mid table. 🤷‍♂️
