Any grain of truth in the guy who went to Benfica?
Dunno if I could forgive him that heart palpitation he gave me at Wembley
Think I shouted about 7 or 8 expletives in one sentenceDunno if I could forgive him that heart palpitation he gave me at Wembley
I was all set to until I saw their dude handball it and remembered we had VAR.Think I shouted about 7 or 8 expletives in one sentence
The minute Panzo started to dither on the ball my head was slowly going into my hands , I missed the handball as a resultIt was clearly a handball and I'm shocked a referee of that standing failed to spot their player attempting to play volleyball.
Speaking of him, one goal in 25 for Carlisle this season…In all seriousness, is this the first January window in forever that we haven’t been desperate for signings?
A team can always improve but I wouldn’t be worried if we didn’t sign anyone else. Torp has already been a nice surprise. Would much rather wait than sign anyone in a panic, like Maguire last year.
Absolutely. We do need another option who can play as a wide forward or striker but we have enough options in the squad currently to see us to the end of the seasonIn all seriousness, is this the first January window in forever that we haven’t been desperate for signings?

He’s never been any good since he left Grange HillSpeaking of him, one goal in 25 for Carlisle this season…
He actually did okay and part from the aforementioned volleyball move dealt with it okay.The minute Panzo started to dither on the ball my head was slowly going into my hands , I missed the handball as a result
He started out well for us but for some reason his confidence dipped and he always looked hesitant in possession. I’m glad we’ve moved on from himHe actually did okay and part from the aforementioned volleyball move dealt with it okay.
Might evaporate in the interim,spend it first opportunity?In all seriousness, is this the first January window in forever that we haven’t been desperate for signings?

Have seen nothing from DK to suggest he won’t continue spending within reasonMight evaporate in the interim,spend it first opportunity?
It amazes me how he still continues to steal a living at a relatively high level. I understand Panzo is only 23, yes at times for Coventry CIty he showed signs of a top quality centre back when it came to his ability to drive the ball forward, first touch and passing. When i say "at times" i use the term sparingly, because it wasn't that often. In terms of Panzo's actual defending and defensive ability, he's a level below the likes of Mcnally, Doyle, Kitching, Binks, Thomas and even Hyam. I would see Panzo as a perfect fit for a Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn, QPR and at the absolute very best Swansea. So how he has managed to secure a move to Standard Liege, a team that of late have failed to impress and have definitely been underperforming, but Standard Liege in the last 10 seasons have finished 4th 5th and top 6 more times than not in the Belgian league.

Very true, but one good season for any of the teams all it requires is either winning the league or finishing 2nd and they qualify for the Champions League. The point i was making regarding Panzo was exactly this, he has 1 good season on loan, signs a permanent, Liege finish 2nd, Panzo is now a Champions League player. Panzo's stock will rocket based on the fact he is English and is playing in the Champions League. Football is a weird one where things like this is concerned, and this is all very possible, because as you just said the Belgian League isn't a strong league however the rewards are still huge.The Belgian league is not a great standard
I was considerably more upset by that mistake and what i thought was their winning goal, than I was when Dabo missed.Dunno if I could forgive him that heart palpitation he gave me at Wembley
Really ? I certainly wasn’t.I was considerably more upset by that mistake and what i thought was their winning goal, than I was when Dabo missed.
Yep. It was an awful mistake. I was gutted…jubilant when VAR stepped in of course.Really ? I certainly wasn’t.
Chris Waddle, World Cup semi. Both his and Dabo’s are still in orbitYep. It was an awful mistake. I was gutted…jubilant when VAR stepped in of course.
The pens were just a lottery, so I was fairly ok with going out in this manner.
I joke about Dabo being the culprit of our defeat but I’ve seen better players than him miss a pen eg Roberto Baggio World Cup final.
I was annoyed at Robins for selecting Dabo to take one. Throughout his career at Cov Dabo had never shown anything that suggested he would have the composure and technique required at that moment.Chris Waddle, World Cup semi. Both his and Dabo’s are still in orbit
Reduction clauses in contracts happen of course.Regarding my disrespectful comments towards LutonBelieve it or not, i am actually rooting for Luton this season in the Prem. The thought of all these Premier League prima donnas having to play in an 11 thousand capacity stadium that is half a bleeding house is absolutely brilliant. I genuinely want nothing but the best for Luton in the Prem, proper underdogs. Where Sheaf is concerned, i just cannot honestly see how Luton is an attractive proposition for a player that is arguably the most consistent in the Championship. Sheaf will know Luton might be able to double his current salary but with relegation almost a certainty, the implications of that reality will not only see Sheaf lose almost 2/3's of his weekly salary because of the relegation wage reduction clauses in player contracts. Sheaf will also be watching a mass exodus of Luton's star players. It is the sad reality of some of these small time Football Clubs, the likes of Coventry City with one idea of promotion and spending money in order to achieve that is the complete opposite of a club that is relegated, where the objective for any relegated club is to reestablish financial stability,which usually comes in the way of selling star players,rebuilding a squad with capable Championship players and this comes with a transitional period, which for some clubs can be 3 years before pushing for another crack at promotion and this is only if they get things right. Most clubs free fall, the manager loses star players,gets 1/3 of the budget to rebuild the squad, doesn't get time for the players to click, gets sacked, cycle repeats. Sheaf ain't going nowhere!
I think many EPL.clubs are used to playing in front of low attendances already at Bournemouth .Reduction clauses in contracts happen of course.
Why would he go there if that affected him?
A mass exodus did not happen with Southampton, Leeds or Leicester? One or two of them may lose players next season.
Not worried, but I think that’s because we’re ok with injuries at the moment. I’d like to see another one or two. We need a strong bench for the run in.In all seriousness, is this the first January window in forever that we haven’t been desperate for signings?

It was inevitable he’d miss.I was annoyed at Robins for selecting Dabo to take one. Throughout his career at Cov Dabo had never shown anything that suggested he would have the composure and technique required at that moment.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. He didn’t look confident on the ball. However, Robins chose the penalty takers on the day, he must have seen something in him. Someone had to lose, we were so close.I was annoyed at Robins for selecting Dabo to take one. Throughout his career at Cov Dabo had never shown anything that suggested he would have the composure and technique required at that moment.
