That clearly points to a motivation or mentality issue for me. For a young guy who hasn't experienced any major physical damage there should be no reason why he can't train to meet his appropriate 'fighting weight' and focus on speed, balance, technique. Those are all trainable so it's making me...

I don't think it's arrogance mate, it's fairly justified. They've done really well no doubt and they look like they're really heading in the right way but there's a million miles to go yet. We've not even ended this season yet and the odds are Magpies early 2nd favourites at 15/2 with us and...

And I mean no disrespect to Spurs but other than a big contract, why would a decent manager go there? They obviously have major problems behind the scenes and the ownership isn't going to support enough investment to make a robust squad.

This is probably fair in truth. No club is going to stand by and let them strengthen and have a run at it so you have to assume that - - The incumbent weakens a lot - They get a big budget - It's spent well - Other competition doesn't get in the way of their aims It's going to be tough, I'm...

Off field life naturally can have a major impact. Nothing to do with Anthony Martial but that case where Mason Mount was being stalked by a very determined person sounds like a real problem. It happens.

I honestly think they're similar to us. If the question is how much it's going to cost, right now, to go out and obtain the missing pieces or add the necessary depth to push for the title and be prepared for it to go to the last game, then....£500mm or thereabouts. The way player pricing has...

I really think we're looking at upwards of £500mm of spending if the question is how much to trigger a title challenge. Selling clubs would know, so it would be expensive, we'd need world class players in 4 areas and absolutely class players ready to take over, a title challenge is relentless...

If CL is assured, League Cup won then it's been a success, regardless of FA Cup result. Next season, I'd like to see us perform well in the CL. Never should we be seeing these 7-0 aberrations against Liverpool. That's just not acceptable imo and it's on the board to provide the resources to...

For sure, think you're right there as well on the powder. Financially times are hard around Europe from Scotland to Sicilia so political coalitions stand less chance of success imo and we get more instability. The gf got me a nice coat as well from stone island which I don't fancy wearing! Ahh...

Maybe but I just call it as I see it and my girlfriend (middle eastern) has felt very much threatened in Budapest when games are on and we've been nowhere near the stadia. There's a culture of hostility there, it's almost evident in things like their Holocaust memorial (I'm not Jewish either and...

It's because the long arm of the law is also there offsetting it. On a serious note, it's not the Netherlands imo, it's Europe-wide and the problem is that of right wing extremism. I go to Hungary a lot and it's quite apparent there but it's noticeable in a number of places, north and south...

I pride myself on knowledge of krap ephemera like this so I have to say I'm in awe at this find!

This is a good one imo. I know where it comes from, it's the Force imparted by using a lever to loosen something but why that has anything to do with the beautiful game. Sounds like someone is just trying to absolutely lump it into orbit. Hardly tippy-tappy tiki-taka.

I'm not making any kind of accusations but I can see why outsiders looking in at a lot of football transfers, not just ours, would allege some form of corruption. They just don't make sense, whether it's the agent fee with the Pogba deal or the Ronaldo to Saudi deal, why that amount and not...

oh yeah, was that the one jose had some barney with because she hadn't been told to treat the player? I'm old enough to remember Cherie Lunghi haha and Thatcher so I can see it happening at some point, if results happen then they'll hire a flipping alien from zeta reticuli. On a serious note I...
