Irwin99's latest activity

  • 7th... but with an FA cup win against Chelsea
  • makes for an exciting 4th place battle between Spurs and Villa I guess. Spurs have to play all three of the title challengers as well.
  • Hopefully will be more focused and fresher for the league now but that stupid result at the weekend means it's out of their hands anyway.
  • I think it's fine to say he was right about a few things, probably about a few players who are still here, but you also wouldn't really want him managing the club either. He's easily been the best we've had in the post SAF era but that's not...
  • PSG vs City final? Dark days for football.
  • Irwin99 replied to the thread Martial exit?.
    That is just not true at all. He hasn't put two consecutive good seasons together in his entire time here, mostly due to injury but also loss of form. I'd say three very good seasons in his career here. It's fair to say we've had some talented...
  • Wonder if any of our injured centre backs will be back?
  • See this is the problem for me, when we say 'with the right management'- His form was pretty poor towards the end of the 20-21 season under Ole and then he had an absolutely terrible season the following year under Ole and Ralf. He had a great...
  • But he's still not playing, which suggests others are training better or are offering more of what EtH wants (more likely). I hope the lad does well and he gets his chances but I don't really expect miracles if he starts.
  • I can understand people wanting to see more of the player but i think people can go a bit overboard and forget that we're not seeing everything that happens in training. I've seen it happen so many times in the post SAF era that a player will...
  • Change the fecking system for the rest of the season at least and work on the chaos/suicide ball (if you must) when you get better, more athletic players in the summer, presuming you're still here that is. Also, win every game left in the season...
  • Irwin99 replied to the thread Cole Palmer | Chelsea Player.
    Player of the season? This guy is having a phenomenal season in a very poor Chelsea side.
  • The only passable season he's had in the last 4 years was last season, and one ok/decent season in 4 years is unacceptable, especially at that wage. At least Luke Shaw can put one good season in each time before he has his inevitable collapse the...
  • It's so weird when people say their success doesn't matter. Unless they're punished for the 115 charges (and actually punished, not just a silly and affordable fine) then history won't remember that, it will remember the records set and their...
  • Irwin99 replied to the thread Bruno is underrated thread.
    There's a legitimate argument to make whether he could be a part of anything other than a pure counter-attacking team but his goals/assists and appearances numbers are ridiculously consistent. He's hit at least 19 G+A in every season he's been...
