I think the idea we will play that way every game is delusional and Murray will have a role to play. Even fast counter attacking teams like Spurs have used players like Llorente to mix things up and like Murray he is hardly blistering with pace. You need options at this level.
As for 2019...
Anyone suggesting that our most natural and prolific scorer (even at 35) does not have a significant amount to offer at the club next season is simply mad. Extra service from a more attacking philosophy might actually see Glenn go on and break more records. Granted he will not be the long term...
Countless players have commented how when they are on the pitch all the worries disappear and if they are enjoying their football it helps. If you are not enjoying your football and struggling to settle then it will be hard for any person to perform at the levels required regardless of the...
Matt Clarke- Portsmouth defender rumour
Seem to remember a lot of fuss made when we signed Shane Duffy for a similar fee after his own goals for Blackburn with ‘why are we paying that kind of money for a centre half when we have goldson’
One thing I do trust the club with the years and that...
Some changes have been positive I think goal line technology has been an amazingly well thought out and implemented idea.
I struggle to see the benefits VAR is bringing and it is creating more questions than answers. Countless examples already where even after VAR decisions have been given...
Driven by benchmarks like Kyle Walker with oil money meaning market is now hugely inflated. Fair play if they get that sort of cash for him and obviously with the stadium money ring fenced that will all go back into the playing side...............
I think the issue is if you are a clubs board what do you care more about promotion or youth development? That’s not to say you cannot have both but Hughtons record of getting teams up with all the riches that comes with would trump any youth development philosophy in the short term (as it did...
Agree entirely and a general election will see another divided result as cannot see Labour campaigning on a remain or leave ticket as their voters are too split. Lib Dem’s would make up ground and we will end up with a government with an even weaker majority than we do now. Hard to see any...
My large away shirt yesterday was very tight and looked like a wetsuit. All other large shirts still fit fine so will be going back to exchange for a XL which is crazy as whilst I am no performance athlete I don’t shop in Jacomo yet either
Managers that come in mid season have no time at all to talk about their ideas or prepare yet the good ones start to make a difference in only a few weeks. So whilst we peddle this nonsense that our manager should be putting himself 24/7 into the club (off the back of a full season with...
Christ on a bike some of the self righteousness on this thread is off the scale
Imagine if the thread full of beautiful ladies was still running this board would drown in its own piss
Good post and true it has been on a downward trend and huge pay per view TV deals added to the complexity of the various organisations makes seeing the fights we want to see a much tougher ask. Promoters are in many ways like football chairman the better ones are those you don’t know who they are!!
If everyone gave up meat we would just see a rise in intensive farming for crop with the use of environmentally damaging insecticides and other harmful practices.
Personally could never give up meat and have no burning ambition to either but good luck to anyone taking the plunge
