Where’s that video from?

You simply don’t need a good keeper to succeed in this division. If we had £2 million left in the transfer kitty, I’d spend it on a striker or midfielder over a new keeper every single time, even if they weren’t guaranteed first choice.

Slightly worried that I have decades more games ahead of me, and it won’t ever get better than that. I wasn’t around for 87. There will be titles, cup runs, promotions I’m sure. Will there be a last-minute 4-3 against Man United at Wembley, after being 3-0 down with 20 to play? That might be...

Unfortunately for you, if you support Mark Robins’ Coventry side, you soon will be.

It’s absolutely mad to spend this much energy on trying to Zapruder pictures of O’Hare’s boot based on amateur pictures from the United end, or going full Karen mode and demanding to see the EFL manager. (Which is why I think VAR is shit btw - can’t we just go back to getting angry with the ref?)

People use this phrase as something of an insult, but a player who fits that description is clearly very useful to a team with a small squad like ours. Unless you’re going to spend money on two new players to replace him, he’s going to see a lot of minutes.

Whether you see it as an overpay or not (I personally do), the market has been set. There are always bargains out there to be found, but I think the odds of signing a young, English, Championship-ready LCB for less than £2 million are extremely small.

What counts as too high a fee? If the going rate for a starting LCB in the Chanpionship is £4.5 million then why are we balking on an English kid who’s two years younger and already does some things better than our starter?

Would be just as likely to kill off the competition for good The current setup isn’t sustainable but I’m not sure the EFL clubs have the power or the wherewithal to unilaterally stand up to the Premier League without suffering a lot of casualties in the process

Absolutely phenomenal stuff - as if we didn’t have enough heroes yesterday!

I actually have an even more foolproof idea for avoiding VAR mistakes…

But none of these decisions are actually “pretty obvious”, or “common sense”, or “very simple really”, are they? They’re complex and incredibly fast decisions being made in real time by humans, that are impossible to decide without someone disagreeing and getting upset. Even with slomo, replays...

If you think that all referees are going to agree on what they’re able to decide with their naked eye then I have some extremely bad news for you about human error

In what universe should this ever be a “huge question” in a game as gloriously bonkers as the one we saw yesterday? This is why VAR is total shite. We’re catering to babies instead of watching the fucking game.

How is that cOnSiStENT though? What happens when one ref wants to draw a line where another one wouldn’t bother?

Tbh my real point is that if one of them is overpriced, it may not be Binks

This thread has big 5am afters-in-the-kitchen energy (understandable, appropriate)

Seen a lot of talk about how he’s supposedly being priced way beyond his value - curious to know what that price must be. If the going rate for LCBs at this level is £4.5m for Kitching then Binks may be extremely valuable indeed.

The overhaul is very straightforward - haul it all into the Thames and be done with it. Just look at the Premier League thread on this forum - just endless moaning about why VAR was used for this, but not for that. Once the toys are out of the box, you will always have people whinging that it...
