[Football] Huddersfield

[Dave the OAP]

Unfortunately thats true, until recently at least would we have been effective without Murray? I think the answer to that is a very definate no.

Another similarity is in our respective chairmen, Huddersfield's Dean Hoyle, and our very own Tony Bloom, both businessmen are billionaires and also life long fans.

What? Hoyle net worth was £360m in 2016! Allowing for inflation, to go up £640 million in two years is one hell of a return.

Interesting fact from Christmas University Challenge last night ...

Huddersfield are the only club to play in all four divisions in TWO different grounds.

Haven't we done that - with grounds to spare ? I've certainly seen us play in at least 2 grounds per division.

That wasn't the point though. Hudds played in all four divisions at Leeds Road, and they've now played in all four divisions at the McAlpine (whatever) stadium. (The PL is counted as the 'top division'). No one else has done that. (We did four and three at the Goldstone and Withdean). Loads of clubs have played in all four divisions at different grounds.

don't mind Hudds at all. The media want them down and for that reason I hope they survive

indeed,wouldn't mind having their history

There were some pretty nasty comments following our win but overall I think they are more like our club than most. The key difference between the two teams is Murray. If they had Murray and we had both Depoirtre & Mounie we would be below them. Its goals that win games not the quality of the football.

Maybe I'm the only one or it's the anticipation of tonight that's warped my sense of realism, but think that's way off the mark.
Looking through Huddersfield's side, I can't see three players that would make our squad, let alone starting eleven. That shows just how well we've done with recruiting and equally how badly they have. All right, maybe VLP on the wing gets a shout due to our injuries, no wait a second, they've just sent him to Middlesborough.
I respect them as a 'proper' football club and their chairman for his similarities to TB, but they have been utterly mismanaged for the last twelve months with recruitment and it seems to me Wagner has lost it.

Not sure about that. I'd definitely have Mooy in our squad and their goalie is pretty decent too - he'd be a good back-up to Ryan - and Billing would be a good addition to our 25. Of course, Pritchard is a decent player too - although he'd fail the 'no dickhead policy'

I don't think Pritchard would add anything to our squad, just like Huddersfield's results since he signed indicate that he hasn't added anything to theirs.

We have a decent striker or two and they haven't, plus we have an excellent manager while they have one who appears to have been found out at the top level.

Meltdown on DATM

Meltdown on DATM

Excitement on scoring a goal...or love for Mike Dean?

 

[Icy Gull]

One relegation place filled I think

 

[A mex eyecan]

But, but, they do have ruddy clackers

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Looking like Huddersfield can concentrate on the Cup now.

and future parachute payments. i'll be staggered if they avoid relegation but hey you just never know. Mrs Amex says i never do ...

 

[Simster]

Correct. No more moaning about getting our transfer business early please. It's not much use getting your team bedded in early if they're all a bit gash.

It's an amusing scene. Especially the thread entitled "we are fücking shit".

Yes, yes you are.

 

[bhafcjack]

Defiantly going down

 

[Mancgull]

Doomed.....however, they'll keep trying to the end.

 

[dangull]

Hope Burnley stay up. I like Sean Dyche. No one gives him much money to spend.

For the first time I feel sorry for them. I read an article about their owner Dean Hoyle who’s a good bloke like TB and unusually for a northern outpost there’s not the nastiness against visiting clubs fans from chavs - Burnley.

Cardiff, Burnley and Stains would be my preferred three.
