Does anyone have any knowledge of the league and watch regular? I think this is where we should be trying to get our next talented striker from as their style of play means strikers don't see a lot of the ball like ours. I know the top strikers on this list will cost a bob or two but there must be ...

It's a tough one because you've got 2 routes to take. The club either goes for option 1 of proven Prem ability and experience woth someone like Long. Or they go for option 2 of a gamble on someone younger with no/limited Prem experience. Option 1 will lumber the club with a bigger wage and a player ...

Also, anyone else notice it's different in the dressing room shots to the one the players are wearing. That little tag on the sleeves is blue in the dressing room, claret on the players and the closeup?

Mattster

White shorts, hooped socks and it'd be great. As it is... it's alright.

Mattster

Well worth getting involved. I may no longer be admin but I couldn't drag myself away from managing a club in the league!

Can see Huddersfield starting strongly because of the way they play, whether they could maintain it will depend on their ability to find a plan b once the PL teams find them out. Brighton are harder to predict, think they'll be consistent throughout the season but whether that will be enough I'm not...

Mattster

Jensen for Beresford IMO.

Also I'd want to include Wade and Blake if possible, since on PES the short, tricky players play really well, but can't see how.

Other than that I'd say you have it spot on

If Hull and Swansea win their next 2 games then I'd say Watford are more likely to be relegated than ourselves since their remaining games would be Liverpool, Everton, Leicester and City. Stoke would be in a bad way too as they'd be 7 games without a win / 6 straight defeats. So whilst we'd drop the...

This is part of the problem. What you want, reasonably enough, is a rule so that applying that rule will be the best thing for every child. Obviously this isn't possible, because all children are not the same. What parents want, reasonably enough, is a rule that is the best thing for their child. O...

I like Bobby Wood every time I see Hamburg play - ITV highlights, granted but he seems to always be involved in their attacks. He's nippy too. Hamburg aren't safe by any stretch so I'd love to see a bid go in. It was the similarity to Gray that made him stand out to me and I thought he'd be a great...

It's funny reading any thread about an education issue on here, the myopic views always raise a smile. I love the inconsistencies that always crop up "Family time on holidays is vitally important" and "How can schools justify trips to ski resorts which have no educational value?!" So is the family t...

I've been watching a fair bit of Bundesliga this season and Bobby Wood looks like he'd be a good replacement for Gray if we have to move him on (last year of contract) He's not at Gray's level for finishing but he's got the same pace and physicality as well as having a bit better technique. Could al...

Well, post #22 is a follow up comment to the original post you're whining about, which was post #20. When you said "follow up comments" I expected there to be more than one follow up comment. ie. 2 or more.

What follow up comments? Keep digging. Maybe sooner or later you'll find something. Posts #20 & #22, not exactly easy to miss in a thread of 25 posts, "digging" :lol: , kind of supports my thinking that you're intentionally misreading.

Pretty sure you're intentionally misreading the context used by Sidney, especially in light of his follow up comments. Nice try dodging that though.

They just don't like to hear the facts that their so called religious holidays are using the dates/names etc of pagan holidays for convenience. I was waiting for IT to decry you for defining a diverse group of people who share similar religious beliefs as "they" and assuming they all think, behave ...

Bleurgh. As with the majority of political issues the people at both ends are pr***s and it's the people in the middle that have suffer through the arguements.

Annoying and unfunny. The kind of person that would appeal to someone with low intellect. An embarrassing export. Plenty probably find him funny in USA but then they voted Trump in.

Not long now until the start of the season! Looks like we've been really popular, surpassing our target numbers so it should be a great season. Any more for any more?

Thanks for the reply, worked out the tactics now on the app, and I'll wait and see for VIP, thanks for the advice.

The Heroes - Joe Abercrombie
On my 5th read through of his First Law series before I read his short stories anthology that I just picked up now it's out in paperback. Great fantasy books, if anyone's a fan of the A Song of Ice & Fire books then I highly recommend Abercrombie's books.

Is there actually anything wrong with our pitch other than it was a bit wet? The way they're going on about it you'd think we made them play the game down Townley Park.

The linesman on the Longside was terrible to be fair. There was an offside he didn't give when the Chelsea player was about 3 or 4 yards off, he was about 10 yards behind play at that point for no obvious reason, luckily it didn't go anywhere. Then there was also the throw in he gave our way in the ...

On one break away I noticed Ben was shouting at Keane to get over to cover the other striker (think it was Costa) but Keane didn't, leave the both of them back pedaling within a foot of each other. Ball gets played to the loose man, Mee reads it perfectly, tackles and clears for a throw. Other than...

I think Dyche will move Arfield into the middle rather than drop Westwood in to replace Hendrick. Don't think he'll want someone who doesn't fully understand the system in the middle of the park.
Think it'll be

Lowton Keane Mee Ward
Boyd Barton Arfield Brady
