Don't shoot the messenger, and apologies if fixtures... The odds on Frank Lampard signing for us before the 3rd of February have been slashed on BetVictor from 16/1 to 2/1 clear favorites: https://www.betvictor.mobi/sports/3/meetings?btagid=#/sports/3/meetings/58041110/events/771007500...

If there's a way of stopping second accounts from voting (perhaps only allowing users with a predefined post count to vote), then I am all over WHC this year. Honey badger simply must be included, it wouldn't be WHC without him but he does appear to be the cause of all the vote controversy...

They are all TERRIBLE. I struggled to watch last night, my 9 year old son could have comfortably come up with better VR games than the two created, it was embarrassing to watch.

I think we are better equipped to deal with the promotion push compared to all of the teams listed, purely due to our experience of getting so close last year. Of the teams listed, only Norwich, Derby and Villa (and maybe Sheff Wed) have more strength in depth in the squad, but they all have...

It wasn't just a simple return pass though was it? He read Murray's intention, put himself in the perfect position to receive the flick pass, pulls a defender away creating space for Murray to run into, was on the same wave length as his strike partner, and then laid off the perfect return pass...

This thread is crazy. This is Mile Jedinak we're talking about here people. He's bang average.

Not sure if mentioned elsewhere, but would be interested to see where Newcastle rank on this 'highest payers' list. If they had retained the likes of Sissoko and Townsend I would have had them in the top 20.

I'd definitely have Dunk in there, not sure I'd have Bruno as would be surprised if there hasn't been one better RB in the league so far this year. He's amazing obviously but hasn't been quite at his best.

I'm not in any way doubting that he's an important player for us, I think he's great. He does as you say do the 'dirtier side' well, and does contribute occasionally with a goal (much like SS and BK). My observation however is that more often than not he doesn't 'shine' quite as brightly as...

No, I don't think there is anybody as exciting. Forestieri would be up there, he's capable of the sublime but he doesn't have the trickery and unpredictability that Knockaert does.

Honestly I don't know what to make of Stephens. He's a good player, no doubt. He contributes to the team and is a reassuring presence in the middle of the pitch. But it's very rare in my opinion, that he stands out as having a really good game. He strikes me as the weaker link in almost any...

This. France have an embarrassment of riches to choose from. AK is undoubtedly an outstanding player for us, but until he can prove it consistently at a higher level he doesn't have much of a chance of making that French squad. Dunk making the England squad would be a far more realistic prospect.

We have some very tricky games coming up. If we can get through these games unscathed and still sat in 1st/2nd place then I'll be very confident.

Stones is a great prospect, very good player in my opinion. Smalling I'm not as convinced on, but he isn't bad. As others have said, the difference between them is Dunk hasn't played at the top level. The gulf in quality between the championship and premier league is pretty massive, and there...

I'm fairly sure the exact same thing would have been said last year after Boro thumped us at our place. Who would have realistically predicted that we'd be playing them in a winner takes all match for promotion on the last game of the season? Newcastle are a very good team, with a comfortably...

My most painful experiences are both Chron's related. When not under control, some of the stabbing pains I used to get were unbearable. The nature of them being inconsistent meant you weren't sure when they would occur and so were not prepared for them when they happened. The other was my...

I'd be happy with £8m, in fact I'd be happy with about £7.5. He has less than one full season of his contract left, and in my opinion isn't even our best central midfielder. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a great player and brings something that the likes of Kayal, Norwood and Sidwell do not...

I voted for Yes, yes I did, despite being fairly young when I did. I used to sit on my dads lap whenever we went, with a ribena in one hand and a Mars bar in the other. Fond memories of the big clock in the corner of the stadium, and Paul 'Subbuteo' McDonald running down the wing. He used to...

Got to level 21 about midweek, but duly ran out of mobile data in the process and have got to wait until Wednesday to play again. FML! My main squad consists of 1659 and 1233 Lapras', 1434 Vaporeon, 1321 Flareon, about five 1000+ Hypno's and a 1053 Magneton. Caught 96 in total, but have got...

Almost every line-up in the latter half of last season was very predictable. Will be very interesting to see who CH goes with in this opening game away to one of the best teams in the league. FWIW I think we will start with the following: Stockers Rosenior Bruno Dunk Bong Knockaert Kayal...
