It all pointed to us having a great chance of a win then they went and got a new manager. The divs.
They've only scored six goals all season so we'll probably be 3 down after 10 minutes now.
Stupid fate.
Or, they'll continue being pretty shit and we'll win comfortably 2-0.
Great fate.
Chilwell likely out of the squad now. That leaves Shaw for left/wing back and Trippier for right/wing back. We're running out of options. TAA will probably get in as back up wb but wouldn't it be nice if there was an Englishman capable of playing both left and right wing back?
Any one got any...
Argentinian wonderkid?
To go with our Ecuadorian wonderkid.
And our Paraguayan wonderkid.
And our Polish wonderkid.
And our Irish wonderkid.
It's alright I suppose.
If you take out the freak 9-0 win against Bournemouth, Liverpool's season would look really bad. 13 points form 11 games and a negative goal difference.
I think he's one of the very few players who is considered 'one of our own' by pretty much every club he's been at. A thoroughly decent, classy and intelligent man. I hope he has a lot of success with them.
Newcastle would be the most likely premier league destination if he left Palace, wouldn't it? No transfer fee, looking to break into the top 6, could afford his wages and he's the sort of player(in terms of ability) they'll be looking to sign before going for the real big players in a year or...
We bought im from USG didn't we? If he's going to go on loan hopefully it'll be to get him prem league ready so going back to where we got him from wouldn't be of much help. I'd rather the Burnley loan mentioned above or another championship club. Get him used to the speed and physicality of...
I think people might be going a bit too deep into this. Doesn't it just mean they are able to play for a team higher up the pecking order? As in they could play regularly for a team challenging for the title and probably thus the latter stages of the champions league.
The requirements and...
With Burn and March as wing backs...
While it's great that they're on the list it's quite difficult to actually name 55 English players so it feels a bit more like a massive kick in the teeth for anyone not on it rather than a well done to those that are.
True we don't have the greatest depth but IF(and I accept it's a big if) we paid 20million for him it doesn't really fit our model that we'd pay that much for cover, particularly as it would be one of De Zerbi's first signings.
It seems much more likely that he'd be signed with the intention of...
If we were to sign Matviyenko, a left footed centre back and left back, for 20m it would suggest for that kind of money and being De Zerbi's first signing that he'd be going straight into the team. Whose place is he taking?
If it's at centre back would he take Webster's or Dunk's? Webster...
What does that actually mean? Will they all go to St Georges' for a training camp at the end of which the squad will be whittled down? Or is it just a list of players that Southgate is 'considering' without meeting?
I hate to break it to anyone who thinks being in the premier league makes a club big globally...but,...it doesn't. Not really.
In my experience what makes a club big globally is the Champions league - being in it and being successful in it, along with having recognisable big name players...
I went to the Leeds and Newcastle games. The majority of 'Japanese' fans that I saw at the Amex were Chinese. Whether there has been an increase in Japanese fans at the games since then I obviously couldn't say.
Mitoma has had an effect on Japan's knowledge of Brighton though. I've had a...
