He’s up there with the slowest players I’ve ever seen Which does make you question why he breaks the defensive line so often and charges forward to try to challenge. Thought he'd been pretty positionally disciplined since returning to the team, but he was absolutely all over the shop last night, an...
after seeing that Fulham Vs Palace was 'super sunday' last week, and obv deciding I was not going to watch it, I looked at the league table and pondered what would be the least appealing fixture this season. I decided on Burnley Vs Fulham. tomorrow's game picked for telly is Burnley Vs Fulham! Thin...
:D :D And if you missed the Carlisle horror show, this was a pretty good imitation of it. Yes I missed that thankfully, i decided after last night I`m done with evening games, at least if we lose on a Saturday I can get sloshed and forget it short term. Yep, I'm thinking the same after encountering...
I've come to the conclusion that most football managers are stubborn thick cnuts who can't think for themselves and dogmatically copy the current trends. The ones not like this are the ones who have a chance of actually being good at their jobs.
Having not seen the table in a while, things that surprised me. Just how close it is at the top, I thought apart from Arsenal the others were further back. Everton 5th :shock: Bournemouth dropped to 13th :shock: I’m no fan of Leeds but I like to see ‘established’ premier league teams get relegated ...
If Emery had been afforded a fraction of the patience and money Arteta has had I’m convinced Arsenal would have won the league by now. Following Wenger with a massive rebuild required was always going to be a tough gig initially. Same applies to Moyes at Utd to a lesser degree. Set up to fail befor...
Looking forward to Leeds’ destruction of Liverpool tomorrow, think they’ll canter to a 3-0 win :? Cue even more insufferable Leeds supporters flooding the various call-ins about how they’re really the champions after beating both Chelsea and the scouse mess in a week :roll: To be fair to Leeds if t...
Wind your neck in leon, I already answered that. By inferring I was unconsciously biased against black players? Otherwise why even mention it? I knew some dickhead would make a comment like that but it coming from the most opinionated and dogmatic poster on this board is as laughable as it is unsur...
I'm happy that Dorsett is beginning to show some form. I'm not entirely convinced by him as a CB but I do think playing as a hybrid LB/LCB in a back 3 plays to his strengths because he's strong and has more than adequate pace and touch. He's had 2 or 3 poor years with injury and playing in a shocki...
Not aimed at anyone specific leon. And, not all bias is conscious. Are you accusing me of being a racist Ian? Yes or No? Of course he's not. Ian's point generally stands that black players tend to get accused of being lazy more that white players. Like it's become an intuitional thing I think he ca...

Well, he has a fairly laconic style. And he's not an all action run his heart out on lost causes type. Though he does put in a shift. Plus, he's black and there is that tendency for black players to be described as lazy more than white players. Is that last bit is aimed at my comments? If so I’d li...
I do find it strange that people claim Kelvin is low effort He has his faults - wouldn’t say that was one of them. Well, he has a fairly laconic style. And he's not an all action run his heart out on lost causes type. Though he does put in a shift. Plus, he's black and there is that tendency for bl...
I'm not going to get carried away and say Kyerewaa is going to be POTS, sold for £5m etc., but today was the best individual performance a Reading winger has made since Azeez left. Got me thinking, which wide performances do you remember? Kebe had a few spectacular ones; Leicester is probably an al...
Thought I'd have a quick look on here to enjoy all of the praise for Kyerewaa for his outstanding performance and attitude. It's a bit muted. Perhaps humble pie isn't to everyone's taste. Crowing after one game is though apparently. As I’ve already said he was excellent today and as Orion has said ...
