    [Albion] Thomas Frank

    I'm at work and can't read every post in every thread. Has anyone covered any responses/thoughts from Brentford fans? Are they disappointed with their season, claiming Frank's been found out, doesn't want to be there, is touting himself for every job and needs to go? Or are they completely...

    [Film] Film 2024

    To your first question, which I don't think is a spoiler, given that it was introduced in previous films and is part of the structure of the in-movie universe... I think it's a little murky as what suits the films' and TV show's needs at a given time. The sense I've currently got is that it...

    [Albion] Roberto De Zerbi: "Now we don't have high motivation"

    I'm not sure what I said that you're disagreeing with? If it's "The reality of the club prioritising survival and financial prudence over the desire for a top ten finish" that was intended as the short term. i.e. Essentially what you say - the club looking at the bigger picture and not...

    [Albion] Roberto De Zerbi: "Now we don't have high motivation"

    The squad he has now is not the one he agreed to manage, and the changes were not things that would have been expected, so he didn't 'know what he signed up to'. He didn't know he would fall out with a couple of top players. He didn't know the players he recommended would fail to live up to...

    [Albion] Have we ever gone a month without scoring?

    Last month they included goals scored by the women's team.

    [Albion] Roberto De Zerbi: "Now we don't have high motivation"

    Did he? We've often been told we would make one big sale a year. Perhaps he wasn't expecting to lose so many experienced hands from one season to the next. Perhaps this was as much, as @Withdean11 says, a way of making a point to that effect. 'We can do this if you make one sale a year, but if...

    [Albion] Good time for a Mojo thread

    I worry because in recent years my mojo is usually lower than the average fan, but the average fan's is quite low now. :down:

    [Albion] Roberto De Zerbi: "Now we don't have high motivation"

    I would imagine De Zerbi's response to that would be 'you've made it clear your process is buying young inexperienced players and developing them and selling them to buy more inexperienced players to develop and sell. I'm just following your philosophy'.

    [Albion] RDZ out

    I wonder how much RDZ enjoys working with and developing young players to sell on for a profit, only to have to start the process all over again? I wonder how much any manager of the quality needed to get us regularly finishing in the top 10 likes that sort of environment? It's very difficult to...

    [Albion] Premier League 27-28/4/24

    Raya gifted Spurs a goal - tried to chip the ball over the spurs player to an arsenal teammate and underhits it, given spurs a clear run at his goal. 1-3.

    [Albion] Premier League 27-28/4/24

    Some of our fans certainly would. But then, if Dunk did a Cantona-style karate kid on an opponent and the ref gave a foul, some of our fans would say it was soft. So I'm not sure that's really a measuring stick to judge a challenge by.
