The Premier League should be for the very best players, or young players with exceptional talent. Signing this kid would be hoovering up any player who shows a little bit of promise, he might go on and become brilliant, or he's laughably overrated (as is my current impression) and hasn't done...

Looking at Green Cross Code Man post, it really looks like it is. We'll soon know. It looks cheap in the pictures, hopefully it'll be different in person but even so, it's an unseemly patch across the shirt and it's not for me.

Yeah, the home shirt is an absolute no for me again. It's an iron on transfer which looks cheap and tacky. I like the darker blue, but it's not worth £52. Crazy money. The away shirt is lovely though, to be fair. They've done a good job with that one, but it's very classically simple. Lovely!

The gym in my building at work is meant to be closed on Bank Holidays, but the access system isn't smart enough to know what is and what is not a BH, so being a monday - I'm always able to gain access. I smashed out a 2 hour session, plenty of free weight training but 20 minutes on the cross...

I fully believe in the players in our squad. Whatever they're getting paid, they're more than up to the standard of this league. What we haven't been is able to compete fully because we didn't have a manager/coaching staff prepared to allow the team to play to their full potential. We have seen...

Bloody hell! :love:

It was easy, the bottom 3 were all a load of rubbish. We just made it hard on ourselves and tried REALLY hard to keep the relegation dogfight interesting. It was obvious that Huddersfield were a load of rubbish and Cardiff were always going to get relegated (although they gave it a good go, to...

Propper is another who was criminally underused by an overly defensive manager. Brilliant footballer, I thought everyone could see that but apparently not. He'll thrive in an attacking team, I think we have a number of players who will be totally transformed next season.

So, after a 9 week rest from parkrun activities - I got back on it this morning at Lancing. I mistimed it slightly and ran 20:09, which is not bad considering I've not run all week. Kind of glad to have it out of the way now and I'll be aiming to add a bit of pace over the coming weeks. :thumbsup:

To be fair, that's an ideal statement! Nice balance between self-depricating, obvious truth and grounds to think that he will consider how he coaches in future. Personally, I just think he needs to set his ambitions a bit higher and show more belief in his squad of players. I also wonder whether...

The reality is that Brexit is the single most divisive issue in the history of British politics. The country is divided now more than it's ever been, and everybody is so entrenched in their respective opinions that the total gridlock in Westminster can't be broken. I feel sorry for May based...

Only because Barcelona aren't competing in the Champions League final. :thumbsup:

It's always fun when the cycling discussions roll around again. For what it's worth, I don't go through red lights with the exception of lights which won't change just because I'm there - for example the junction down the road from the Amex heading under the overpass. I cycled past the stadium...

Suttner is better than Bong, though. And a much better crosser than Bernardo. Hopefully those two will be the first two picks at left back.

Any chance you also posted this about Craig Mackail-Smith? You never know!

Talking of posts which haven't aged well... ???

This poll is very surprising. Suttner is a quality left back with a wicked delivery, but just 4 other people agree with me that he could still be a big player for us. Gyokeres, on the other hand, is very highly rated for almost no reason at all. Interesting.

That is a comfortably midtable Premier League team, with Dunk replacing Burn. Under the right guidance. :thumbsup:

Are you kind of hoping for a failure of a season so you can swoop in with an, "I told you so"?

I'm not making any assumptions - I think good managers play a formation to get the most out of their players, rather than trying to fit players into a formation. It's largely what cost our previous manager his job! Tactics need to be flexible, the team needs to be able to adapt to survive. If...
