Well, maybe I have been living in a cave but I wasn't aware of this homophobic chant directed at Chelsea that has resulted in the FA now saying charges can be brought against opposing clubs and fans. Apparently Citeh and Forest fans have sung it recently.
This is going one step too far. By all...
As the dust settles on another World Cup departure, the following stats probably suggest that we are ( throughout history ) a good solid international side, usually ranked in the top ten but very rarely finding that special talent that can make the ultimate difference.
22 World Cups......we...
It was very muted at the end of the game last night and it certainly sounded like there were a few muffled boos. Surely not. The Messiah's first game and some weren't happy? He did look a bit ruffled at the end. Not the usual relaxed demeanour and calm interview. A bit distracted.
Anyway it was...
It happens over and over again. Bright first half, fade badly in the second. Tonight, you visibly saw players flagging. Lallana was knackered early in the second half and his tired mistake led to their first goal. Concentration levels dip at the end of games and we play the price. The manager...
That seems to be our lot folks.
Hughton.....76 PL games......76 points
Potter.........55 PL games.......55 points
I can see a similar return over the remaining 21 games this season. So...on that basis.... is 35 points gonna be enough this season? Means Potter has to get 21 more points...
Just press speculation or an outside possibility of a loan deal? Leeds have been making overtures to United but seem to have been turned down. He was left out of Saturday's squad but could feature against us on Wednesday. I guess they are connecting him with Potter after their time together at...
1) 18 games played so far.....7 home wins....11 away wins.....No draws.
2) 67 goals scored ( average almost 4 per game )
3) 3 goals or more have been scored 13 times in 18 games.
4) 14 players have already scored 2 goals or more.
Clearly, attack is winning over defence in quite a dramatic way...
Just a thought....why are these four clubs starting ahead of everyone else? I know its their game in hand but I would have thought, that after 3 months off and starting in rather unfamiliar circumstances, it would have been fairer to all clubs if there had been a level start i.e no teams getting...
1) 64 minutes. Watford away, opening day.
Murray and Locadia started and to be honest, were doing pretty well. We were a goal up, nearly halfway through the second half. Suddenly we saw two subs about to come on, Maupay and Andone. Gasps of amazement from BHA fans. Straight swap. Two big front...
A lot of us keep thinking that our supposed lack of firepower is the reason we are not sitting more comfortably in the table. The following stats seem to back this up.
23 games played
In 16 games, we have scored 0/1 goals ....W0 D6 L10
In 7 games, we have scored 2/3 goals.......W6 D1 L0
It...
........that we played Pompey, behind closed doors and beat them 9-0. Was told this second hand, by a contact, who knows an employee at Fratton Park. As its not first hand information, just wondered if anyone else had heard anything. My contact said that the Pompey man indicated that it was...
There was an obvious and easier moment to part company with the manager and that was either, immediately after the Cardiff home game or early the following morning. The team were in disarray, many fans were angry beyond belief and the manager's personal stock was at its lowest ebb. NSC was in...
Feel we have been missing Gross for a while. No disrespect to Knocky but his deliveries into the box ( corners and free-kicks ) are very predictable. Each and every one is whipped in with pace and they offer no variety for the opposition to think about. We had a number of vital free-kicks on...
Relegated from the Championship last season....all promoted back up at the first attempt. Doesn't happen that often ( does it? ) Blackburn were clearly a bit unlucky to go down with 51 pts and Mowbray was already starting to turn them round. Wigan also looked far too good for Div 1.
Is the gap...
If you take the starting point for the Christmas schedule as the 7.45pm k.o between Arsenal and Liverpool on Friday 22nd December and the finishing point as roughly 10.00pm on Thursday 4th January, when Spurs and WHU finish their game, you have approximately 316 hours for all PL teams to play 4...
Just what is a good away record?
Is seven points out of 24, failure to score in 5 of those 8 games and two wins against teams that will never play that poorly again, regarded as good going in the PL ( for a team of our status ) ?
Many have said that Pulis is the master at PL survival. Well the composition of his squad may give a clue as to his thinking/strategy.
GK.........3
DEF........6
MID.......13
FOR.......3
Concentrate on the engine room. Pack the squad with decent midfielders, a solid back line and set the side...
