Just caught up with FH Arsenal press conference and thought it was interesting the contrast of WBG with say Adam Webster. FH is clear on roles and of AW ‘it’s a shame to put him on the bench’. Imagine he could have said something along those lines for WBG. Suppose it depends how accepting...
Transfer windows are as much about keeping your top talent as bringing them in. Adringa, Pedro, Ferguson et al all remain with a big influx of talent. 10/10. Well done TB and crew.
In the Man Utd press conference, FH said he is open and transparent with the players about the plan for them. If a player doesn’t have the feeling they can develop at the club it’s up to them to find another way. The club smoothed the path and WBG‘s found his way.
I got the impression from the PressConf that FH doesn’t talk about transfers but the players themselves are clear on his plans for them and if they don’t like them then they have a decision to make. In other words, politely, it’s not our business and take it that if they are on our books they...
If I could only go to one away game this season, this would be it. 3pm on a Saturday in September and a doddle to get to. Unfortunately for tier 3, it’s a popular one.
Lucky sod living in Seville city for a year. No option to buy but risk is they fall in love with each other and he doesn’t want to return. Not sure they’d pay (or even afford) TB’s valuation, mind.
What a good manager Crawley have in Scott Lindsey. A big turnover in players, going in to a higher level and yet patterns of play already slick. Too much for the ‘kids’ and hopefully proved to FH that a strong team needs to be put out next week.
Watched Crawley’s matches on Sky Sports+ this season. Scott Lindsey has Crawley playing similar way we are used to the Albion playing ie passing out from the back etc. Looked good going forward while open in defence. It’ll be entertaining and won’t be 0-0 after 90 mins for sure.
Someone gave me an analogy of a large tree where it was being overcrowded with more birds (which I took as them meaning immigrants). I replied it’s more like a large tree which is dominated by a small number of predatory birds which forces the rest to fight each other over for a perch on a...
Broadbridge Heath 2-1 Horley Town. BBH progress to next round of FA Cup away to face @Cowfold Seagull ’s mighty Horsham YMCA. It was a step 4 v step 5 battle and not a lot in it in the first half. BBH edged the 2nd half and finished the strongest but imagine a tidy Horley side are...
