Yes, I would agree with you on that and with Biss; it takes time to adjust to new teams and managers and their style of play and training, although maybe not so much of an excuse for Cucu
I think this sort of proves the point. Not that many, and Kante went in 2016 (Mahrez obviously from Leicester as well in 2018)
It is not exactly wholesale rape and pillaging of the little clubs, which is somewhat the narrative portrayed.
The job, which Southampton were very successful at for a...
How many recent moves from the "other 14" to the "Big 6" have actually paid off over the past few seasons.
I know Liverpool used to have success plundering Southampton for their best players, but that is a few years ago.
Ake has hardly cemented a place at Man City, other than on the bench.
A...

I think Sarmiento and Lamptey would both appreciate a World Cup warm up game, as their game time so far this season has been limited.
Moises, Pervis Mitoma and Ali Mac should be rested for Sunday. I think there should be a good mix of youth and experience.
I would go with this as well:
I...
It is funny how no-one is commenting on the fact the Trossard was running alongside the ref shouting that he should be sent off. The ref could have got annoyed by that. However, the ref had already made up his mind, you can tell that.
There was a thread not too long ago, saying that Albion...
I was an early adopter to Spotify, and MP3 players (pre iPod) before that, but can honestly say I do not "engage" with music they way I used to. Maybe it's age, or having children and other commitments, but the commitment of going out and buying records, and then CDs meant a commitment to really...
To be honest, I think we would probably have been in exactly the same position if Potter had stayed, with the same number of points (maybe just not quite the same results)
I think our progress last season, particularly how we ended it, and the first 6 games this season showed how much we had...
Based on the tracker, RdZ could have expected 4 points from the first 7 games (given it included Liverpool, Tottenham, Man City and Chelsea)
To get 8 points (+4) is pretty impressive.
Hopefully 3 points next week. 11 from 8 would be a very impressive start.
Can I vote again and change it to 10 please. Apart from getting to the FA Cup final, I cannot think of anytime it being better to be an Albion fan/supporter than now. And of course, 1983 was bittersweet as we got relegated as well.
There was a job going at Chelsea, apparently, but seems the owners don't know enough about football to consider him, and went for one of the usual Big Name managers instead
Depends which song.
If it is "Wednesday Morning 3am", then probably yes, you are the only one.
If it is "Stamford Bridge over the Troubled Water" then Swanny is on your wavelength.
