Exactly as I saw it too. Couldn't believe that Arsenal press us having seen the impact that it had on our effectiveness at Smellhurst. We have consistently struggled against sides that press aggressively if they can keep it up for the whole game - Arsenal just aren't that kind of side.

Sometimes it is easy to mistake an oppo pass as loose, when in fact it's just been anticipated by Biss. What a player.

New hair do - French plates? Why isn't he training with the squad by now?

"I think there has been an issue with Bissouma in that he has something of a checkered past off the field and as often happens these days, when players go through further checks after they’ve been through the analytics filter and the on-field observational test, clubs can get more careful about...

Article from May 9th with no reference to us setting a price. There was an unsubstatiated post on Twitter which implied the source was The Times but again with no actual quote to an article. Utter nonsense. He may well want out - we've all known that for ages. But we haven't set and price and...

It would be worth you reading the GP quote from Feb that Not Andy Naylor (thank fk) posted in this thread. I think you're misunderstanding the plan. We don't have to sell our good players. We WANT to sell them. We're building a machine that finds, cultivates and showcases young talent and in...

Not sure that's what Tony has been doing here though. TB's been building houses and is planning to make a living selling them on. The first few are being completed (with Biss as the show home if you want to torture this analogy to death). So the costs such as buying the land, materials, building...

Spot on. And I'd also add in a certain amount of kudos. Did you hear Moder talking about Old Trafford and Man United in the video interview. He's a Polish international, but he was wowed by playing Man United - his whole family tuned in to watch, as did much of Poland by all accounts. Can't...

There's a delicate balance between what we can get as a transfer fee for a player and what we want. If a club offers good, but not silly, money for Biss, then Tony might not want to sell. Why should he. But if that same offer also involves a huge wage hike for the player, for example going from...

Are we ignoring the fact that most other clubs have improved too (except Palace) so we're just relatively standing still. Or is our usual smart scouting giving us the edge (again)? It really feels like we're buying so smartly.

He turned down Porto to join little old Brighton. Truly strange times. (and yes I know its about money, but we saw off Porto to sign a European club player!!)
