Agreed! and to your point, that's probably when the PFA would get involved as well. There's no way they would let their members go from sitting on the sofa all day to playing top-flight football.
I live in Surrey! But a close family member was in Newcastle for quite a few years - and closely connected to the sporting scene there. Let's just say there's a strong reputation...
He has an awful reputation locally for wandering hands, which I've heard about first-hand. Whilst there's some undoubted sympathy based on his past glories - imagine if he was just a sad old alcoholic who hadn't played for England in his youth who had tried to stick his tongue down a girl's...
We can be an arrogant lot - there are some stunning parts of the North East, and as I remember, Liam enjoyed his time with Hull.
This makes sense, if he can’t see an opening to breaking into Potter’s coaching team. I’d have thought Hughton would have fast-tracked him. He’s too good a...
Wants British Steel to be thrown into liquidation. Who would have thought after happily putting Palace into administration in 2010, and failing to pay its creditors.
Building on this a little - it’s not just that the players have no experience of English football, but also that our coaching team only has experience of English football - and predominantly lower league English football at that.
I can’t help thinking there’s a mismatch between coaches and...
The criminal bar is high. If I remember right, Gary Hart had not slept properly for a long time, had been driving far too many hours, and was clearly reckless (if very unfortunate) in what happened.
For the Hill case to be successful, the prosecution would have to prove, beyond all...
I agree re Bong - if he'd had a winger ahead of him who could cross, we wouldn't be saying any of this. Locadia mucked about ahead of him, did nothing all game in attack or defence and left all the crossing to Bong. CH clearly thought Bernardo wasn't fit enough to start on Saturday - I can't...
Bizarre lead post. We just got beat by a single goal against Chelsea - who are fourth in the table, played 17 games, +21 goal difference, 35 goals scored. In my books that makes us an average Prem league team (which funnily enough is where we are in the table).
I agree there's a fair...
