We cross loads when we have wingers, but yes, he will play on the right

Yeah, but "Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United lead chase for Swedish wonderkid" will get FAR more clicks through to their site than "Brighton steal a march on rivals to sign Swedish wonderkid".

Although true, the confusion is people don't get that it's not mutually exclusive. We aren't signing Doyle instead of a first teamer, so caning the signing because he's not PL-ready misses the point.

MotD is the perfect example of complaining about absolutely nothing (he says, whilst complaining about people complaining). If you get your highlights elsewhere, fine; If you don't like the analysis, skip it; If you don't like the host, skip the link sections; If you don't like the commentary...

Sadly, they've basically followed the general trend of replacing decent broadcasters with loud-mouth ex-pro's who's sole job is to ask thicko-baiting questions to get dullards to phone their premium line numbers and have an argument. It's a shame. I used to enjoy Drive because Durham at least...

It's too cold

Weird how two people can view the game so differently. I thought he was physically at it last night. He got in between Wolves players and defenders to block off well, won the ball back a few times. Solid 6 out of 10 in a generally lethargic team performance

Is he? Murray at 27-30 years old was very much an all-round striker. Lacked pace, sure, but his ability to bring others into play, hold the ball up, win tactical fouls, contribute defensively, lead the line as (often) the lone striker AND score 10-20 goals a season in both the Championship and...

Oh I agree, but he's proven to be an ambitious man who probably thinks he should have had longer at Chelsea and still backs himself at a top club. I'd avoid United like a plague if I were him, but ego is a big hurdle to overcome and Palace are a club currently in a gentle, but inexorable...

Darkest hour? We were in our highest ever league position and playing our best ever football (at that point). If anything he left us at the sunniest point in our history. Either way, it'd be very interesting to see if he did follow Potter to Palace. I don't think there's any chance he goes...

Er... we do all of those things if the deal is right. We usually sign young players in January (Mac Allister, Buonanotte), we've signed plenty of PL-ready players (Pedro, Gilmour, Veltman etc) and we do deal with dodgy agents (Caicedo). We also have done loans (Colwill), which were perceived to...

This is it for me. VAR should have picked it up, but I wonder if the VAR review starts from the moment the ball is "in play" for these ones? The referees can't be expected to see everything on the field of play, it's a nigh on impossible job as it is. In all honesty, it's unsportsmanlike...

What I find interesting/amusing is that Chelsea seem to be spending MASSIVE money on players with almost no track record. Caicedo was excellent for us, but £115m for a player with less that 50 top flight appearances £60m for Lavia with <30 apps for relegated Southampton £105m for Fernandez ~70...

Weirdly, I think we had a real benefit in not starting our strategy in the Premier League because you're organically building upwards from Withdean, one step at a time. We could take more risks and make more mistakes (Burke, Hyypia) as we grew. We could (finally) build the Amex, expand it, build...

Like this?

It would be nice, but we all know we'll batter them, go 1-0 down to a hideous piece of luck/Mateta getting his one goal per season, spend the next 80 mins continuing to batter them before getting an equaliser late on, and then spend the next 15-20 mins battering them only to end up with another...

Good question, but simple answer: It's butterscotch

Oh, unquestionably. He has no qualms riding roughshod over any institutions or guardrails in his way and would think nothing of urinating on the constitution. I guess my point is, if he's in for four, he's out after that point whereas is he doesn't win he'll be a constant malignant spectre in...

Even if he doesn't win, he isn't going away any time soon... Weirdly, winning means we get 4 years and then he's done. Assuming, of course, that he doesn't change the rules to allow presidents to serve more than 2 terms, then we're in real trouble

Both RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg were in the 2023/24 edition of the Champions League and their ownership structure is of similar make up
