It's mad how much player prices have increased. 25 years ago 2.75million was a club record for a premier league team nowadays players are sold for 20 times that price and no one bats an eyelid. What would 2.75m get you in today's market? It's barely enough for a Mitoma. Whereas back then you...

Does it say back in play from what? Goal kicks? Free kicks? Throw ins?

I was thinking about Caicedo and where he could go this summer earlier today. I came to the conclusion that there might not be many/any places to go. Liverpool if the rumours are to be believed are keen on Ally Mac. If they do buy him we'll be under no need/desire to sell Caicedo so it'll...

I went with Coventry because their fans have been through a really crap time the last ten(or more?) years. I wouldn't mind Luton, their fall to non league and then rise is a great story. Would they be the first team to play non league and premier league? Middlesbrough and Sunderland have both...

I hope Mac Allister got them in on the friends and family rate.

Depends if you want us to potentially finish 6th or 7th. If it's 6th then A Villa win or draw. If it's 7th then a Spurs win. I really, really want us to play in Europe next year so I'm going for a Spurs win or at worst a draw.

I thought they were marginally better than in the first half where Mitoma would put them out of play at the back post. I didn't think putting the ball in the air was a particularly astute tactic full stop when they had so many tall players. If we had to cross it I'd have liked drilled low...

I agree it was definitely there tactics to let us have the ball in both halves. I think the difference was in the first half they were able to win it back quite easily and then create dangerous opportunities with it at ease. Although we had more of the ball they dealt with us comfortably and...

It definitely wasn't a smash and grab. That gives us way too much credit. Everton were in total control in the first half. They allowed us the ball as they were defensively incredibly comfortable and when they had the ball they were fast, powerful and incisive. They cut us open time and...

Yes I think we'll make Europe too. Last night was a shocker and has made it harder but as long as it was a one off perofrmance I think we have plenty enough about us to get the necessary points. If we set the bar 'low' and aim for the Europa conference then if Villa only pick up one point from...

If we'd played the first half like we have the second and we'd lost even by this big a scoreline we could have no complaints but that first half was absolutely shambolic. There's plenty of credit in the bank but it's an incredibly wasted opportunity to all but secure a place in Europe for...

First half against Wolves a few years back? The one where Burn had an absolute mare against Traore.

Well that was an absolute f***ing shambles. We've been taken to school by Everton. f***ing Everton. They've looked like world beaters while we've plodded into their hands time after time. It's 2:20 a.m here. f***ing fucks sake! f***.

Stockport? When did we have a mini rivalry with them?

It's the @dwayne clause. If at the time the buying club make an offer Dwayne is still doubling down on his Ally Mac is massively over rated argument then a bid of 50m will be accepted. If however Dwayne has repented his sins and admitted that our world cup winning midfield maestro is the...

Interestingly we need a maximum 8 points to ensure 7th place but if we actually needed those 8 points to finish 7th we'd finish 6th. Although we need a maximum 11 points to finish 6th...🤯

Maybe Max should start form 10th next race. Then if he still wins the following race can be 11th. Then 12th, 13th etc until we get something at least resembling an interesting race. Put an exceptional driver in a car that's miles better than the next competitor and this is what you get...

What a thoroughly entertaining half of football that was. Newcastle are really fired up and playing with a lot of intensity while the geordie crowd is almost comically rabid.

I love these threads. I don't actually care that much about the kits - I've not bought one (apart from the black training shirt from a few years ago) for over 20 years - but I still get irate when we release yet another shit one! Also with Newcastle going full Saudi with their away kits I'd...

I don't know. If he was sold for 25m, a 25% sell on feel would get us 6.25m on top of the million we (I think) sold him for. 7.25m for a player who barely kicked a ball in our first team is a very decent return IMO and I think the club would be very happy with it. As I see it it's another...
