There is absolutely nobody in football who respects our diminutive chairman and his performative feminist sidekick... As soon as they clock his methods it's a case of put on your tin hat and wait for the redundancy payoff and if you can get away with the odd backhander at his expense then...so be i...

Fuck me, that must be the biggest heap of crap I've ever read. You're actually comparing him to KDB and the reason he always gives the ball away is because our players are crap?? I fucking give up. And he's had a load of criticism from Brazil fans. Bottom line is this fella only does his best work ...

That's a bit strong. On his day he is good but 1 of the most talented on the planet is a real stretch of how good he is. He never was anywhere near consistent enough or had all the ability in the world. I'm also not convinced that once it's over he'll then suddenly come in to his best form again, b...

Given the extraordinary amount of time this has been ongoing then 4 to 8 weeks seems astonishing  If it was such an open & shut case the trial should have taken a month with the verdict a week later at most Presume the FA will be working on wriggling out of this without being sued to buggery   ...

I genuinely believe Paqueta knew all too well what he was doing and is only surprised he got caught out and has played like a cսnt ever since. That's my gut feeling on the never ending fiasco that's continuing to hurt us either on the pitch or partly towards our transfer strategy. Just want him gon...

I assume from a compliance point of view, betway had no choice but to flag it up. That’s just how organisations work at that level. Im not sure betway are going after this aggressively though. I think it’s the FA themselves that have gone mad. Bungled the whole investigation (took his phone for week...

I remember saying to some guy about how PSG totally destroyed Liverpool in their 1st leg.  He totally disagreed. But even though the score was tight over the 2 legs, I'd never seen a team totally dominate that Liverpool team. I think then I thought they are easily the best team in Europe. Barca are ...

Classic Adrian… make the hard things look easy and the easy things look hard! Oh well…
 

Bowen through the middle and Kudus wide right was the solution IMO, but we rarely got to see that line up this season But as said below, probably pissing in the wind this season regardless of who played where I like Kudus, I think there is a top player in there but I am not sure he will get back to...

That's how easy it should have been all game     Our team relies on the opposition to get tired and make a mistake. Thats the reason we rarely get anything in the 1st half. 80% off the league doesnt do that shit. Even Kudus doesnt want to celebrate a goal against the bottom club lol. This season is...

Lots of pretty football but we're not punishing them.   This. He's spent 6 months getting us to pass the ball around but without actually breaking down any opponent. He doesnt pull there defenders around at all. It's so obvious and been going on for months now. You need to overload them, even in mi...

What a load of Potter Crap in Presser… Just like all o his down beat pronouncements… Doom & Gloom next. Season…relegation scrap…???       When he was at Chelsea and they were doing shit he basically said nothing. Is he on beta blockers? the most impressive thing about him is how little he seems...

I think we really needed a young coach with a point to prove. 
Even the fact that they've managed a top flight team at such a young age says a lot.
 

It’s not the players, it’s the manager. Take those players and put them in Fulham, Bournemouth, Brentford etc and they all perform well. Antony went to Betis and is doing really well.  rashford went to Villa and ends up taking Watkins’ place half the time.  what clubs are guilty of is being seduced ...

I've heard Cresswell was offered a contract, but turned it down. It was a bit of pub talk, but from someone who usually gets decent info.     yeah, that would make sense. I can see Fulham or someone picking him up. In a different team where he's not so exposed I think he will do well, even at 35. I...

Fabianski after the game: "I feel disappointed with how it looked today. I was secretly hoping that I would be able to say goodbye to the fans at a home match while being on the pitch for at least a moment." I think I would have played him for the last home game.  It's not like we've got ...

The highlight of my day other than watching Bowen's belter of a goal, was also seeing Fornals score a belter against Athletico Madrid as well. Enjoy... https://youtu.be/uKOw9fKPJcI?si=ZR_u0ZhXR2Tfk9YE We inextricably sold him for peanuts to when he wasn't a problem and added real value to our Squad...

Is there any reason for Sullivan to keep Potter other than not wanting to look like a dick in hiring him? Is the compensation that much? Is it worth getting relegated for? I think if West Ham keep him I’m sure it would be a record. I can’t imagine any club has kept someone on with such a low win rat...

Is anyone surprised? Mistakes aside, we have no pattern of play. No drilled in way to score a goal. This is my main complaint with him. Half a season and no actual plan. We cant say its a squad problem because the same squad used to score goals! A decent transfer window would just cover over the fac...

10 minutes haha.. from where???

With so many so called big and established sides being so gash at the moment, has the PL finally become a real meritocracy determined by actual coaching skills rather than money? Palace have even less of a squad than they had with the last few managers yet they have been pretty good this season. Fee...

GK is the last of our worries. Aereola is decent. The issue is that our outfield defenders need to minimise the shots he has to face. One of the reasons all this sweeper keeper stuff is so fashionable is that it's really not relying on the keeper at all to save lots of shots because the defensive se...

"Was there signs of a turnaround or were Man Utd simply that bad?" We didn't play markedly different to how we've been playing, slow controlled possession, Man Utd were on top and we scored against the run of play, and after that, they were absolutely diabolical. No urgency, no pressing, ...
