There is no silver lining here, other than the fact that the unhinged, deranged, EVIL piece of filth that carried our this heinous act has been apprehended, and will hopefully never feel the sun on his face ever - EVER again.
I'm actually struggling to express the level of my revulsion and...
Yeah I'm not expecting us to set up and deploy exactly how we did in Tokyo, and as you say, we have lots of experienced personnel to come in for when it gets real. But the early impressions are that we are going to be taking a lot of risks bombing forward. I thought RDZ was (initially) like GP...
Noticed he gave the ball away cheaply a few times on Sunday, one pass he made from the edge of their box with his back to goal went a mile astray, and led to a dangerous counter-attack. I've really not seen enough of him to just write him off, but unlike most of the other forwards who really...
Pierre van Hooijdonk
Shows a stinking attitude, which the buying club should always be mindful of. That said, he still ended up having a very decent productive career in Holland at Vitesse and Feyenoord, plus Benfica and Fenerbahce once he'd shat all over Forest.
Ligue 1, a mediocre league, no longer has the likes of Neymar, Messi or Mbappe, which is why the TV rights have gone down the toilet. Canal+ haven't bothered for years.
This is the reality of the reliance on TV revenues. Bordeaux will not be the only ones to suffer.
I'm not convinced he was ever "invigorated" enough to play for BHA in the first place to be honest. Lets face it, we only got him because Barca wanted his chunky wages off their books for a bit, and ideally for him to shake off a few injuries and go back to them match fit.
He fell a long way...
I assume you mean Undav.
The difference being, Undav was not on £128k a week here. And actually, towards the end of 2022-23 he looked like he was coming good for us - that goal at the Emirates was exquisite. Then he went and banged in 18 goals in the Bundesliga last season.
Given the choice...
He scored, what, 4 goals in his time with us ? Yes he was in and out of the side and injured for long spells, but I don't regard him as ever being particularly clinical. The goal at Ajax stands out, but I don't think we'd miss what you call his composure in front of goal. His stats don't really...
No.
He just didn't show enough last season to make me think he'd be any better this year. And ok, its early days, but it looks like we have recruited some real pace and power in forward areas. Minteh and Osman look ridiculous, Mitoma is back, we know Adingra can tear it up, Cozier-Duberry looks...
I was cock-a-hoop last year when we signed him, but he turned out to be a big letdown IMO.
Good in flashes as others have mentioned, but I don't think he ever really adapted to the pace and power of the PL. And I never got the impression he was really busting a gut for us (which is a common...
The website has only just been revamped. Maybe they just wanted to make sure the tech was in place to stream it on there before confirming it, they probably had a little test run earlier.
Cool your jets, champ.
I dunno if its the biggest shock in sporting history, but magical is exactly the word for it. The clock on 0.00, the final play of the match, they could have drop-kicked a goal and drawn the game, but instead they relentlessly and so skillfully kept the move going until they got over the line...
