If that Beth person really is a coach at Crawley, isn't she effectively admitting with that tweet that what we saw last night was a deliberate assault by Jay Williams?
I called them a scum club with scum players in another thread, but after seeing that I see I was wrong. They're a scum club with scum players and scum fans.
If that's the case, that makes their display against us even more disgraceful. You're saying they CAN play football like normal people, but CHOSE to go in with two-footed tackles and other dangerous fouls every few minutes, costing us the use of an asset our club just spent tens of millions of...
When you see a tackle like that, I can't blame someone for thinking "clubs should be able to sue each other for that kind of thing".
I understand why they can't and I'm not saying it would be a good idea. But that was a deliberate attempt to injure, which probably would have been criminal in...
I've seen a few people on here and on Reddit (or perhaps the same person in both places) claiming, very specifically, that Roberto De Zerbi wanted to sign Greenwood for Brighton.
When I ask for evidence of that, they don't respond.
Nothing remotely like this was ever reported or even rumoured...
I thought about starting a thread for this question, but I figured this thread would do:
Suppose Dunk and Milner are both injured at the same time. Who do you want captaining the side? For me the only serious candidates in this post-Gross era (no I'm not crying I'm just chopping onions) are...
I dislike them because long periods of single-club dominance are boring, and they were very much England's dominant club during my formative years (deep down, I think I'd be happiest if a different club won the league each season - unless we somehow became the dominant club, of course!). I...
On what basis are you saying this? Caicedo has publicly said in the past that the time spent at Beerschot was important to his development. Even though he was only there from September to December, he played 14 times for them, averaging almost a game a week. We recalled him because Moder got...
He's 20. He was 13 when we got promoted; he's probably only ever known us as a Premier League club (and as one that often gets positive headlines).
He's also never lived in a time when the Premier League wasn't the most-watched and best-paid football league in the world.
I think us oldies...
No, it doesn't, but you can infer a lot from the numbers of appearances. He's very unlikely to have racked up 37 games at right-back if he's a terrible right-back (and by the same token, I'd be surprised if Hinshelwood ends up playing more than 30 times at left-back in his professional career).
I'm so confused by what's going on at our club right now. I guess we do have a pretty massive squad right now, and if it's a choice between playing elsewhere or not playing with us, the former is obviously better for everyone (as is the case with Buonanotte, another loan I was confused by...
Of course it's not quite the same, but I was reading the 2019 and 2020 posts in the Danny Welbeck thread and noted how many people didn't want us to sign him because of his injury issues. I hope wherever Lamptey ends up, his club are able to fix him up like we did with Welbz.
I mean technically he's not wrong, PSV are more likely to win cups and titles than we are.
But there's a reason the world's top players aren't all queueing up to join Celtic.
Not to put a dampener on things (I'm gonna put a dampener on things), but I recall another manager opening his tenure with an away win in which we scored three goals:
