To be honest, I'd rather a deal with a big club just fell through, so he stayed (thoroughly demotivated), they then got relegated so that he is sold off next season for about £5m just to get him off the wage bill.

Wouldn't that be lovely?

my memory isn’t what it once was, but I seem to recall that at least two of your long term injuries were a result of the player concerned MAKING the dangerous tackle?

"Some players got injured" is a rather understated way of putting it. At one stage we had 12 of our 25 man squad injured, any of whom would have been starting games under the circumstances. How on earth is a midtable Premier League side meant to deal with that?

These ‘tackles ‘ your players were on the recieving end of?

Would that be the two assaults on Kevin DeBruyne that Scott Dann and Jason Puncheon committed? You know, the ones that ended your Captain and Vice captains season.


Both booked for the fouls, and if they hadn’t been stretchered off, they would have been sent off.
Always the victim. :ffsparr:

That's correct. Puncheon and Dann both crocked themselves fouling De Bruyne. The former's being more assault than foul.

The report also contains this gem.....

"Victory would perhaps have been an injustice given the ease with which Wilfried Zaha tumbled like broken reed under Raheem Sterling’s gentle challenge."

Ouch - I do love it when someone has the memory to actually challenge the bullshit these goons come out with on here. They must just pray most don’t remember / cba to look it up :lol:

Another owning - lovely to see the squirm!

I said most, not all. We lost Zaha, Sako, Cabaye, Schlupp and Loftus-Cheek to dodgy challenges and that's just off the top of my head.

Obviously Puncheon's tackle on De Bruyne was awful but to call Dann's an assault is a stretch of biblical proportions. Dann and Puncheon both injured themselves while fouling the opposition, but that doesn't mean that their injuries are somehow Hodgson's fault as was suggested earlier.

Puncheon and Dann accounted for 2 of the 12 simultaneously injured players at one point in the season.

So 5/12 (and I can’t be bothered to research if you’re even correct on those) is ‘most’?! Hope you listen more next term young paddy :thumbsup:

He needs to be at an ambitious club with money to burn and world class facilities where he can flourish as a second rate winger . Let’s just buy the Dwayne and have done with it

I don’t want him - he’s not a bad player but Knocky, Solly & Izzy are all well ahead of him. It’s a no from me.

I did read in one of the papers Zaha was keen to join Albion but Bloom flatly rejected it as didn’t want a known cheat playing in the famous stripes and damaging the reputation we have.

Unsurprisingly our pet Troll is also forgetting about the player(s) who just didn't want to play. :lol:

Unfortunately I think there's no smoke without fire, he probably has expressed a desire to leave, but if we can keep him willingly, for another year, job's a good 'un. Next year the likes of PSG, Barca(Messi's getting older and will probably drop further back into midfield, so they will need another top class attacker), Real, Juve and City will be in for him, and we wont have a cat's chance in hell of keeping him, but it'll have been an excellent ride and all the best to him.

I can't even decide if they're joking.
