Yes, good point. He was said to have done a good job at Espanyol, too. We'll soon see how much substance there is to the rumour that Tottenham are interested in Potter.
I don't think he'll leave next season either, let alone that it's a given? If he is offered it, or another job at a so-called "big club", I believe he'd think about it, rather than dismiss it out of hand. A real difference between it being rumoured in the media and an offer on the table. I...
Real echoes of Pochettino in Potter for Spurs, I imagine. They'd be silly not to consider him, if they want to start a similar medium-term project. Might be a very appealing job for Potter, although I think he'd benefit from at least another year before going to a so-called "top 6" club. The...
No, it was a very powerful shot low and in the corner. Bit of a myth about being beaten near post always a cardinal sin according to Kasper Schmeichel, if indeed that really qualified as near post as Lacazette was right in front of that side of the goal IIRC (which I don't always).
Played well last 30mins of first half. But Arsenal went up a gear and it was too much for Albion second half. They may be low down, but they beat Chelsea a couple of days before and with the players they have (inclu 2-3 excellent young players coming through) are in a false position. If they...
Well deserved award. He has never received the credit he deserved as a player and then manager imo. Perhaps until today, though Birmingham and Newcastle fans still speak highly of him.
For younger readers who never saw Hughton the player, dig out some highlights. He was brilliant. Just as fast...
Interesting how we see our teams. Methinks we haven't anything to teach this Wednesday team in terms of cynicism!
Having said that, I studied/lived in Sheffield for 5 years and saw Wednesday many times. It is a city and club I have long had a great deal of affection for and I trust you will go...
The real or imagined drunk Liverpool fans barging their way into the Leppings Lane end angle goes down like a sack of bricks because it has been proven not to have been a cause of the Hillsborough disaster. I cannot believe this stuff is still being peddled, the truth of the Hillsborough...
I think we've done very well, it was only a few days ago we were the better side for large periods against the best of the rest in the division.
Well beaten by a good side tonight, but a fine effort to make the play offs.
We can see the possibilities of the system in the way Derby play it...
A good win tonight and the pressure will be on our rivals tomorrow. Another false step and well ...
2-0 to us and much shaking in boots from Reading to Ipswich to maybe even Wigan
I'm no tactics expert, but the formation is fine imo, they are all neutral as Jonathan Wilson and others before and after him have thought/said, but we do need to speed up the passing from the back and passing and movement in midfield and out wide and get more people in and round the pen area...
I don't take any of Chelsea's "success" seriously going back to when Bates and Harding were living the dream a la Risdale & Leeds and Pompey, signing Vialli, Zola, Desailly, Gullitt etc etc on the never never. Only difference is that no mad thieving oligarch baled Leeds or Pompey out.
Palace...
