This won't be universally popular, given his (generally excellent) two showings so far, but personally, I suspect that Bernardo would be BETTER than Burn in the role he is currently occupying. But Burn has the shirt, and he deserves to keep it. And all power to him - he's taking the opportunity...

Yes. Duffy is better on the ball than his reputation (on here) suggests. He is never going on a mazy dribble, but his footwork is competent, and he's actually less likely than Burn to hit a sloppy pass straight to the opposition. Still, very interested to see what Webster is capable of, and...

Which is ironic, given that Gillespie was the head coach at Yorkshire, who terminated his contract over breaches of discipline!

Well the jobs in those areas are already hemorrhaging, due to the shambles we've made of the whole thing so far. Many of them will not be coming back, regardless of the path we take. People are already taking second jobs. The lad from Luton with the Italian family thinks this is good thing. It...

Will there? In Redcar, and in Jarrow, and in Neath? After a further economic turn-down? Once those on the fringes of 'managing' take second jobs? Once people with depleted pension pots each choose / need to work an extra year or two? That's a relief then.

Part and parcel of the South American transfer market, tbh. Not worth getting stressed about frankly. He looks a good player. If he ends up playing here that will be great. If we turn a £20m profit on him and use that money to bring in a different good player - also great.

Indeed. And of course there is a WORLD of ethical / moral / sporting difference between targeting a top order batsman (the best in the world, no less) and doing the same to a barely competent number 11.

Absolutely. But suggesting Pröpper up front, is still a little bit much!

Good (in all respects)

1. Davy Pröpper plays in the exact same position for the Netherlands, that he plays for Brighton (except for just two games last summer, when they had a slightly weakened / experimental side out) 2. Davy Pröpper has scored for Brighton (a really good goal, too - away at Leicester)

Bloody hell! Have a word with yourself. He was the CAPTAIN. The conduct of his team was HIS responsibility, and he failed in his duty massively - and consciously did so. He is a cheat, pure and simple, and your defence of that does you absolutely no favours.

Cheers GB. Things is, I'm not (was not) anti-VAR. I thought I was largely comfortable with it. Now, after that one game, very worried about its impact on the experience. :down:

Not a cut and dried call, that. It would not based on just merit, obviously. Not just a case of 'who is the better player'. If Alireza is consider miles better than Ahannach, but STILL unlikely to feature, and costing us 10X the wage cost, then it is still the Iranian for the exit door.

You need to factor in the (apparently very significant) proportion of respondents to those polls, who mistakenly think that 'no deal' means cancelling the whole thing.

This is simply that you are confusing shoulders and arms! (Your shoulder CAN be offside - as can 'any part of the body you can play the ball with'. Your arm can NOT.)

When the Palace injury-time ‘equaliser’ was flagged offside, in the 1-0 McShane game, there were celebrations worthy of any Albion goal!

Interesting that. At the game live, I wasn’t too bothered about Maupay skying it, because like you, I was sure that Murray was off in the build up. From seeing the highlights though, I don’t now think he was.

If anything Clive...

Nah. It was 'tricky', at best. You give Sergio Aguero that chance 10 times and he scores 9 of them. We can't afford Aguero, but whoever gets into that position in an Albion shirt still needs to be putting chances like that away more often than not.

Hmmm... It wasn't THAT easy, agreed - it was on the half-volley, and rising - but that's where correct technique comes in, isn't it? A really good striker gets over that, tucks it away without fuss, and LOOKS like an easy finish. On balance though, 'he'll be disappointed with that (Clive)'
