I’m amazed anyone thinks the Willian handball wasn’t deliberate. He throws his arm down directly towards where the ball is travelling. His movement certainly isn’t natural
There is no world where Willian was doing anything but deliberately trying to handle the ball. He is certainly not trying to get it out of the way. The Silva one seemed a touch harsh.
Calling Dr No. Our best chance of Europe is finishing 7th. Dropping what RDZ considers our best keeper for two very winnable games in order to have him available for a league 2 side is insanely counterproductive.
I think it sounds great. There are a few who follow each other around the board trying to get a rise out of the other. It’s tedious for the rest of us.
I’m coming to the end of my playing days now and have thought about reffing just to keep involved. I’ll miss playing and being in and around it. To be honest though the abuse against refs have got worse the last few years (unsurprisingly the standard of ref has then got worse and worse as the...
Bloom would have foreseen the chances of this particular issue. It is basically inconceivable given our direction of travel and intentions it wouldn’t have been considered before him taking over USG. Nothing to worry about here.
Ashworth is about the top tier in his position . Was before he joined us and still is. We are reaping benefits of how he changed our structure. Newcastle seem to be going about their change to a big side pretty well. They are just fishing in a bigger pond than us.
Chelsea looks like it’ll...
There comes a point where we will have to spend some big money. Not saying it’s now but we’ve reaped in so much in transfer fees, and given our position in the league, it seems the time it would be most likely we would take the jump. Given it’s likely at least Caicedo will be gone in the summer...
Hope you’re right. It’s the first time I think this will be properly tested. I think we had to take less than we’d have liked for Trossard based on his behaviour but this is a different level. Trossard was nowhere near as important as Caicedo is.
It really doesn’t become irrelevant. Would suggest it’s naïve to think otherwise. We simply aren’t going to put ourselves in a position - if our price isn’t reached - of having a player a disruptive and unhappy player sat on our books not playing and losing value.
The only thing which is in...
