Fantastic player. But also extremely likeable, which is unusual in modern football. Would absolutely love him to come back and finish his career here in 10 years time.
Our fan base is very flakey. A couple of dodgy games and the demand significantly drops. I think the club might be starting to realise it isn’t quite as strong as they thought it was. I hope it doesn’t affect the Amex expansion plans. But it should put to bed the ‘can we extend the North Stand...
It’s a shame but I totally get why players like him don’t want to sign a new contract with us. I don’t think I would. How is he going to break into this team and play regularly any time soon? It’s not going to happen. Yes, he could sign and then go on loan somewhere for a year, but he’ll be in...
I think this is genuinely why England have been so unsuccessful at penalty shoot outs over the years.
The fact that brilliant penalty takers with a proven successful techniques make people nervous, where as someone just smashing it fills people with confidence.
Muzza and Bobby Z were bang average penalty takers. Absolutely nowhere near the levels of Pedro.
There was an article in the Athletic recently analysing Pedro's technique where Glen Murray said that his record was about 7.5 out of 10 and he never bothered practising them "because you can't...
Complete opposite for me. Buenonotte did not look (that) out of place playing in central midfield in the Premier League at 18 years old. He looked better than MacAllister did in our team when 3 years younger. He is going to be an absolutely top class player. Enciso, not so much. Awful decision...
I had the kind of reverse scenario of that last year, when I took my boys into the North Stand for the Roma game. They'd only been in 1901 (spoilt twats) and were badgering me to go in the North. We walked inside and my eldest looked around and then looked at me and said "Bit dirty in here...
It's a strange feeling, isn't it? The best way I can explain it is that if there was a Tiger in my garden attacking my wife, I would obviously do what I could to save her. But I'm pretty sure there would be questions popping into my head like "Is there actually anything you can do here?" and "Is...
It's hard going the first few years, especially with a close age gap if you have more than one. It starts to get easier around 3-4. Once your house doesn't stink of shit anymore and the kids actually start to interact with you properly. My two boys are 9 and 11 now and it's absolutely amazing...
