I am waiting for him to show us that he has more to his locker than just setting up a one dimensional, attractive style of play. Football history is full of the young potential manager, who talks well, apparently studies the game and thinks deeply about it. The quietly spoken, forward thinkers...
Tonight just reminds us how far the players and manager have still got to go. We are a bottom six side because we still give the ball away too much and as is obvious, lack a cutting edge. After the little flurry against Saints and Newcastle, its normal service resumed again, with one goal and no...
Its more than that.
We have little or no quality around the edge of the box or from set pieces. We seem to think that its a numbers game and the more balls we play into the box, surely we are going to get on the end of something. Wrong. Its quality needed not quantity. Poor ball after poor ball...
Potter is one dimensional, so while our performances against the better teams improve, we are actually getting worse against the weaker sides. Sheffield pressed us high tonight from the start but there was no effort to mix and match to try and get the ball further upfield. This cost us, as the...
Potter has to show the balls to root out the players that let us down too regularly. Trossard. Doesn't fancy the scrappy games, Doesn't put a shift in. Coasts through games giving the ball away. A luxury player who can't be arsed. Maupay. Just an embarrassment now. Poor touch. Can't make quick...
Just dreadful. Embarrassing. Flat, no tempo. Allowed a team devoid of any confidence to high press us from the start. The goal was a complete mess. Maupay is dogshit poor. Wrong options all the time. Be lucky to get a draw unless there is a dramatic improvement.
Each founding member of the ESL put in £8m. That money was to pay for the legal process to set up the ESL. Some or most of that money will have gone and any balance will still be within the company ( The ESL ) They all signed a legally binding contract and there will be financial penalties for...
1) Don't spend time worrying about something you can't do anything about.
2) Love conquers everything ( Except poverty and toothache )
3) If it sounds too good to be true, then it is more than likely to be too good to be true.
You don't have to be politically clueless to recognise someone completely out of their depth. He is an agenda appointment. There is no other way that this odious, incompetent little man would ever be anywhere near public office. He lacks any gravitas, has no stature and is, frankly, an...
Taylor gets largely forgotten when comparisons are being made and I firmly believe that he laid the foundations for Mullery's subsequent success. Indeed, had Clough and Taylor actually stayed longer together, then our history would have been re-written. They would have reshaped us with players...
City and Chelsea owners will come out of this relatively unscathed, as their fans know that without them, they wouldn't be in the position of strength they are today. Fans of these two clubs will grumble away but ultimately do nothing and that is the cop out. They know their owners signed up to...
Excuse me if I refrain a little from the hyperbole. Magnificent and brilliant are words associated with the highest achievement. We are doing well. Our progress is steady and we look set for another season in the top division. We have much to be proud of, particularly reflecting on where we have...
NO ...NO....NO.....all of the Greedy Six are equally culpable. THEY ALL SIGNED ON THE DOTTED LINE FOR THIS. Pulling out of this quickly earns no brownie points whatsoever. All the representatives of the clubs involved are guilty as charged and no single fan of any of those clubs should sleep...
The PL was set up to establish 5 clubs as elite members of the league, earn the most money and try and give them a better chance of European participation. Of those five, Everton failed to maintain progression and Chelsea and City, after a massive influx of money, joined the party later on. The...
