  1. Expectations for season 2023/2024

    All our players playing to their full ability level (constantly) - and a more logical sub policy. Then I'll take what we deserve/achieve.
  2. DDG: Over 400 apps for our club. Legend status! Was he the best we've had? Shoot!

    Point 4 above is relevant but the +'ve's also works in your favour. Depends on the mentality of the player how much it's affects their game overall- for example see Treebeard (sorry Maguire) not being able to handle it - and which I think we agree that maybe DDG's own psyche isn't as strong as...
  3. Jermaine Jenas in line to replace Gary Lineker - Ian Wright leaving MOTD

    When Utd played Rangers years ago, watching the totally biased commentary up here was quite an eve opener. Although anyone playing Rangers would say the same. Didn't though expect to hear it in Cup Final - but it's been bad all season tbh - ironically under Ole, Utd didn't seem to get the bias...

    Maybe a victim of his reputation as a shot stopper with cat like reflexes doesn't help the perception. Always thought Hendo would have been a top shoot out keeper - I would have brought him against Villarreal in ET just to pysch them out prior to the pens - plus he's a far more intimating guy.
  5. Would you sell Jadon Sancho this summer? And do you think he will be sold?

    Not only do we pay over the odds but our way too generous high salary hinders potential movement. We haven't learnt from the whole Sanchez debacle.
  6. Aston Villa appoint Unai Emery as manager

    Up there with Brighton and Newcastle this season with respect from me, not forgetting Palace since Hogdson came in.
  7. What's more impressive? Brighton getting EL or Newcastle getting CL.

    Brighton - for most of the reasons above - although my respect for them lessened after our recent game with their theatrics at times.
  8. Post match vs Bournemouth

    If we get the point(s) against Chelsea, I would really like to see some of academy players getting a game against Fulham. I know we haven't really closed out games to give them the last few minutes, but compared to SAF/OLE, I haven't seen them at all this season. Might give the likes of...
