I disagree with you, but respect your opinion. Ultimately, time will tell! Our squad is generally in a good place for where we’re at as a club. LWB is obviously a concern but can’t see that not being fixed.

We haven’t finished our recruitment. We may be yet be completing another signing for a fee. Our transfers are structured in instalments too, we’re still paying the money for Hamer and Walker. We’ve spent money on Sheaf and Gyo this summer too. Unlike previous season, we haven’t brought in any...

You get the feeling that this could be a moment where the mantle of ‘king’ is being passed from Lebron to Giannis. He’s had a great playoff I’m backing the Lakers to be strong next year, and the Nets will be a bigger threat if they stay healthy. If Giannis can beat them again, that would be...

We’re not done with our recruitment so judgement at this point is flawed. Take Bright for example, he’s probably going to be an X-factor signing or a bust. Waghorn has been a solid, 10 goal season for long while before last season. I don’t know much about Moore, but the consensus at Sheffield...

We’re barely half way through our recruitment and the outlook in the transfer market is affecting all but the very elite clubs. Signing Gyokeres and Waghorn I think is a very good return. Will withhold judgement on Moore and as for Bright I don’t think we sign him if finances were better. Very...

We have one of the youngest teams in the Championship. We need a couple of experienced players. McFadz, James and Kelly’s leadership was indispensable to our campaign last year and we need to add to that. Hopefully, Moore and Waghorn will provide that. We plan on signing 2-4 new players, two of...

Andy Carroll once gave me a J-bomb in the Colly, his entourage sure knows how to party. He’s past it now, could’ve been a really good Prem striker. I think he’ll struggle in this market!

Before Rotherham away, he was definitely an early POTY contender. Injuries, a change of system with wingbacks, and McCallum’s form resulting in him falling down the pecking order. Looked ok v Birmingham in the cup replay, but that’s about it from memory. We’ll ship him on, I’m sure he could...

Law of averages too. Every team is going to make mistakes. Remember when Man U spent £8m on Bebe? Complete bust. Yet, it’s not a lot of money to them and potential reward outweighed the risks. When we signed Hyam, did anyone think he’d be good enough to start for us in the Championship? I know...

Waghorn’s ‘first words’ video after signing mentioned that’s what he likes to do and that’s what the manager wanted to do. Looking COH’s impact last season, pressing from the front is something we’d like to do. Injuries and lack of squad depth probably impacted our ability to implement that...

Saudi (Italy joint bid) and China likely to host the 2030 tournament too... I understand the need to broaden the appeal of the game... but I’m not down for appeasing dictators/authoritarian regimes. Last week was a stain on English football, but v specific circumstances unlikely to be repeated...

Fair point. Having been to a Lazio v Roma game, I’ve seen them in action. There are a variety of factors at play here, another probably being that the Met police probably hasn’t had to have dealt with anything remotely similar to last Sunday in a long time. I’d like to think it isn’t only...

No and he was great for us. That being said, if you’ve got a maverick who does whatever they want, doesn’t show up to team meets and skips training... They’re red flags. Back then, he was a loanee who was going back to Wolves and a high performer in a decent team (top half). Now, we’re probably...

As Robins said about this transfer, it’s very much a wild card signing. At 23, Bright could get better and he’s naturally talented. But, he’s got to prove his worth this year and highly doubt we’ll put up with his past antics now he’s contracted to us. He’ll either be a transformative player...

A question I’d like to pose... Does anyone think there’d be issues with ticketless fans of another nation breaking into the final if their nation was hosting it? For me, I’m not surprised so many people chanced it because we knew there’d be 20,000+ empty seats to sit in. With that in mind...

The amount of people who said they’d be happy with this last season almost lost the plot when we were there in reality. We were pretty safe for almost the entirety of last season. The only exception being was the loss to Bournemouth (A) and Rotherham’s win v QPR leading up to our fixture with...

Denmark are ranked 10th and Germany ranked 12th, Croatia ranked 14th. 3 teams in the top 15. Italy beat 2 teams in the top 10 in the knockout stages. Austria are ranked one place above Ukraine. Then again, we all know how flawed the ranking is so it’s a pretty useless measure.

I’m not turning it into a victory at all. I’m bitterly disappointed we lost that game. I felt like we had the tools to beat Italy, but they were the best team of the tournament and deserved winners. To compare our teams, Italy have a better midfield by quite a distance, a better central...

Had we won penalties against Italy, would that have changed your mind?

So beating Germany could be considered a massive success for us and Southgate has evidently improved us in that regard, right? Our teams in 2002-2010 really should’ve done better. Losing to a Brazil side when we had the lead, a Portugal team we were probably better than and a got hammered by...
