  1. Benjamin Sesko | Salzburg | Leipzig

    Haha that's nuts, whether they were a good enough striker or not is fair game. Whether they were strikers or not isn't.
  2. Jadon Sancho | 2023/24 Performances | Dortmund (loan)

    I'm not understanding what's pathetic there? That he went to a fashion show and took photos with his mates?
  3. André Onana | 2023/24 Performances

    I can't believe there's even a smidgen of discontent to be heard here with Onana. I think he's been absolutely fantastic so far, as good as a goalkeeper with their feet as I've ever seen. The relief our defence must feel knowing they can knock it back to him and start again.
  4. Maguire | he stays!

    Anyone who thinks that it would be weird to pay the difference in Maguire's wages when he takes a step down cannot know anyone who was actually involved in professional football, this is absolutely standard for players who are reducing their wage with a move. There are three potential outcomes...
  5. Club Sale | It’s done!

    I could be wrong, but I'm sure he owns like 0.05% of B class or something.
  6. Club Sale | It’s done!

    What's going on with the thread title? Took me ages to find the thread. Can we not just call it 'Club Sale Updates'?
  7. Are there other sports where rampant cheating is accepted the way it is in football?

    The travelling rule is actually slightly different in the NBA compared to other leagues and even youth basketball. A 'gather step' is allowed before the two steps after picking the ball up in the NBA, in most other instances in basketball the gather step is part of the two steps.
  8. Brighton and Hove Albion 22-23: A season to remember

    He would be a good fit but I think Ange has probably got a move to a more prestigious club in him. To be honest I don't think he would be an easy man to get out of Celtic, he seems to absolutely love it there. Having said that, it's not too often a move to a stable Premier League club becomes...
  9. Rashford - New contract or sell?

    This contract extension wouldn't be like the others where undeserved contracts were handed out to really sub par players. It's clear Rashford would have value in the market if we decided to sell post contract renewal at some point. I think this is a case where you can protect an asset by...
  10. Thomas Tuchel | Gone to & from Bayern (In Summer)

    I think there's two talking points here. I think it's an extremely questionable decision at board level given their inexperience of directing a football club. They haven't given Tuchel enough rope to hang himself where by the support from the fan base supplements their decision. If the next...
  11. Casemiro | 2022/23 Performances

    You said you think Ruben Neves is better than Frenkie De Jong, perhaps might want to take longer making your judgements if that's the shite you're coming up with.
  12. Sir Alex gets a statue at Aberdeen

    I mean, Sir Alex had Aberdeen ranked as the number one team in Europe at one point in time, that is absolutely incomprehensible. I honestly can't think of a comparison that will come across well because it's that hard to explain how much of an achievement that is. Just look at this: Aberdeen...
  13. Eric Ramsay joins the first team coaching set up

    Regularly? I'm not sure of the specifics but we've conceded from 5 set pieces this season in the league, maybe they are but I wouldn't have thought they are all corners at home? Villa at home sticks out.
  14. Eric Ramsay joins the first team coaching set up

    I know it might seem insignificant, but almost everyone would choose to take a bigger run up than we get at home. It certainly doesn't help with any kind of consistency in taking the kicks if in half your games you get a one step or an interrupted run up. I do have a bit of an agenda against...
  15. Eric Ramsay joins the first team coaching set up

    I'm totally convinced that the slopes at the sides of the pitch are hurting us from corners, it's very difficult to get the requisite power in the cross with a one step run up.
