Re: HAPPY MONDAY!. FOREST, points deduction?

I'm not sure I've seen a published report which fully explains/justifies Evertons ten point deduction (subsequently reduced to 6 pts) and now Forests deduction. If it's just a few old dodderers discussing it over beer and sandwiches a few smart barristers will pick holes all over the place. They hav...

Re: Arijanet Muric

Made Kompany look foolish. Massive performance. We were playing against ten men for the bulk of the game but you wouldn't have known it. Brentford were unlucky in not being awarded a penalty. We scraped a win. Some big saves from Muric just as there have been big saves from Trafford previously. Tim...

Re: MURIC IS IN!

It was probably time to give Trafford a break as much for his own mental health as anything else. It can't be much fun having to pick the ball out of the net 2-3 times per game. Brentford playing with ten men from early on which means regardless of Muric keeping a clean sheet, it's no longer possibl...

I agree, but I think when you’re signing 30+ players across two summer windows it’s inevitable that they won’t all work out. In the main, I’d say they have, or there are promising signs that they will in future.
If they'd worked out that well, we wouldn't be in the bottom two!
