If we did put out a team of under 21 first team players, we would be the laughing stock of the premier league and hated by everyone else. We should not be taking this seriously; it is a tournament for the lower league clubs.
Any game where EFL are playing EPL at home, plus Maidstone game, plus the big prem games. Our game with Sheff Utd just sneaks in, but I think it was fair if we just lost out to say West Brom V Brentford / Wolves. I wouldn't choose Liverpool at home to Norwich but maybe Bristol Rovers (maybe).
Now I have seen this post, I think I will tag onto it with my query regarding tickets rather than start a new post and piss everyone off.
I'm sure this has been covered a million times before, but I am an expat living in NZ and planning on returning to the UK next July to live so haven't been...
This is how I understand it. We are now into the knock out stages of the Europa League. It's just that teams that finish top of their group get a bye from the first knock out round and straight into the second round. The first knockout round is between teams that finish second in Europa groups...
Nice list. However, I feel that you have your rose tinted spectacles on for former players who were class acts for us in the lower divisions. Kuipers and Kraay wouldn't be anywhere near the first team with our current squad.
100% this.
People forget that the primary purpose of prison is not revenge, rehabilitation or even justice, it is safety. The primary purpose of locking someone up is to keep unsafe people away from the rest of society for as long as possible, so that the rest of us can go about our lives with...
In light of everything, two chants for Sunday which are a must:
Sing when you’re whinging, you only sing when you’re whinging.
Same old scousers, always moaning.
Me and the rest of the family arrive from New Zealand on Sunday. I did intend to watch at least one game in the three weeks while we are here. Now with The Chelsea game coinciding with when we are in London anyway, we are going to Four games! I had a bit of a panic when it said paper tickets...
I had a similar situation when my father died (not quite the same). The only advise I can give you is make sure you get legal representation for both yourself as an executor AND as a beneficiary. Do not assume that as the sole executor your interests as a beneficiary will be looked after if you...
I get why we pass the ball around at the back to try to draw in the press, which opens up space in midfield for us to “counter-attack”. However, today we did this with 30 seconds left of the one minute of injury time in the first half.
Surely, there is no benefit to playing this way when there...
I think, until we have a squad sufficient to compete both domestically and in Europe, 9th or 10th wouldn't be too disappointing next season. Teams like Chelsea and Spurs will improve, unfortunately. Bottom three for me will be Wolves 18th, Bournemouth 19th and rock bottom will be Crystal Palace! :D
Maybe, but I think Buananotte, Enciso and Adingra will still be ahead of him in that position. I think Gross will be used in the back midfield row in a rotational system with Dahoud and Milner alongside Caicedo (hopefully).
He should be, but legend status tends to be given to players who stand out when compared to those around him, which is clearly not the case with the current squad. How many of our all-time legends would even make the subs bench in the current squad, even at their best?
