Honestly it feels like kind of the right time to leave. Bigger teams sniffing around him, understandably gets his head turned a little bit, feel like he took us on at least a couple of steps forward, feel like departure is inevitable at some point, and I’d much rather it was now at the beginning...
I like ‘Seagulls on fire’, partly for the slightly terrifying and somewhat surreal imagery, and partly because I do think the song works well as a post win celebration anthem, and I think it’s better if something about the team rather than an individual player (or manager) who will leave at some...
Each to their own but I can’t believe people are so anti Potter here. Did a magnificent job with us, turned down Spurs, and finally left to take one of the biggest jobs in Europe. Yes Chelsea are in a bit of a state but that’s why the job is available. It’s a life changing amount of money for...
Other than wishful thinking on our part I can’t see how he doesn’t take this. He is bound to be an ambitious guy and it’s a big opportunity even apart from the wages on offer. Yes the club is a bit of a shitshow, but worst case scenario is it goes wrong and he gets an enormous payout and another...
Maupay is a goalscorer. 9 goals in 17 games this year, a goal every 1.89 games. Ulloa in total was a goal every 2.17 games. Yes there's more to it than pure goals per games, but these things are always brighter with rose tinted spectacles. People used to complain about Ulloa too, said he was too...
I actually think almost all the problems with VAR could be solved if they softened up the handball and offside rules a bit.
Goals should not be disallowed after the fact because someone was a hair, a shoulder, or a toe offside. There are various ways you could rework the law, but it is...
Same question here- am also in exile and would love to at least listen to this but not sure of a way. Haven't had to use Seagulls player since we got promoted- and now doesn't seem to exist?
My problem is that as it is now- we're effectively saying that a striker can no longer aim to be level with the defender. If you're standing level with someone, even if both of you are actually trying to be exactly in line, one of you is going to be a fraction ahead of the other.
This means...
I am confused as to why people are confused by the new contract. Unusual situation but makes perfect sense.
If you're Huddersfield- why let someone valuable go on loan when their contract is out at the end of the year? You'd be better selling him now for almost any price than doing this.
If...
I was very young, and very upset. For me it wasn't much more complicated than that my favourite thing in the world to do was to go to the games, and I was annoyed at the people running on who caused it to be cancelled, to the extent that I was crying.
I remember it very clearly, and it's a...
Boston, Massachusetts. Moved here permanently a year ago and the one time I had a tear in my eye was walking out of the Amex for the last time. I knew it wasn't like I'd never be back- but that going there would not be a normal part of every day life, for quite some time or perhaps forever...
GK-Kuipers
RB-Calderon (really tough one vs Bruno, considered shoe-horning one of them in at left back. I also had a great early fondness for Peter Smith that I think was mainly the dreadlocks. From talking to those that were old enough to tie their own shoelaces when he was playing I get the...
Bit of a stretch to describe him as bang average with 11 goals in 19 games no? And BWP 'decent' with 45 goals in 75 games including 27 in 32 his first full season.
Otherwise, do agree with some of your points. I think it's a strangely unequal league at the moment, not in the traditional sense...
Personally I would go for
13 Goalkeeper David Stockdale England
30 Defender Joe Bennett (on loan from Aston Villa) England
2 Defender Bruno Spain
5 Defender Lewis Dunk England
3 Defender Gordon Greer (captain) Scotland
22 Midfielder Danny Holla Netherlands
24 Midfielder Rohan Ince England
27...
He's great physically, holds ball up well, fast, strong. Great person to play around up top but lacks a bit of intelligence of movement to score goals at the very top level is my reading. I think his goals ratio in Holland would be a good indicator he'd be able to score in the Championship...
I think the last 30 managers to have got relegated from the Championship have all been British, I think the best way to ensure relegation is to hire a Brit.
Someone like Paul Dickov, or Dean Saunders, who knows how to get teams out of this league
