It's a nice analogy but not particularly useful. Otherwise every football club would be having this in their report. I don't find their statement particularly useful, that's kind of the point. We have cash flow issues, have had cash flow issues, and will continue to have cash flow issues like possi...

The worst one out of the lot isn't even on your list. Blatant handball from the last man at Villa. Fecking bats the ball into his own path so he can bring it under control. You've also missed Alexis McAllister whacking Ramsey in the shins in the build up to the Liverpool goal away which was 100% a f...

I vote Gaz to be in charge of turning all the of the valuable Chester and others insight's into Northern people analogies we can all understand.

I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that he didn't spot that there was no contact when he's two yards away OR that he allowed the kick off to happen before they'd finished looking for a reason to disallow it. Even if they'd found one, at the point he's let them restart that's it, they cannot interve...

So to speak :D what do you think will happen? Quite clear we need to free up some money and reduce the size of the squad whether we go down or not. For me Muric - Keep at all costs Vigoroux - Number 2 Trafford - Loan Assignon - I'd keep him but thought I saw it was a loan? I'm sure he won't want to ...

Been saying this for months. He looked gobsmacked at times last season at what was happening :lol: :lol: :lol: Koff lads. We're pants, it IS on Kompany and there's a consensus thats growing every week that he should pay the price for it, and he might well do. But lets not be rewriting history here.

This current iteration of 'VK's Burnley' is devoid of any heart or character. Only lads that had a bit of fight in them (Barnes, Roberts, Cullen, Cork) have been sold or written off as not at PL level after a handful of no premier league games and yet we've got the likes of Amdouni, Vitinho and Rams...

Venkys are archetypes of 'sunk cost fallacy'.

Wasn't this tried years ago but the cricket club refused to co-operate? I might be simplifying it here but surely a Chief Executive with a bit of teeth would easily solve that stalemate.

But surely it would be possible to improve the wifi without having to build a whole new ground? For sure.

[ I was 10, at the time, Man Utd pumped everyone. I also watched us, which depending on the season was exciting, successful and, at times, bad. I liked watching UTD, but never went to games.

I've seen a few, though perhaps I should've said Berge or Better for a clear example.

I actually think this has been in the post for a while. He'd made noises about this before he started rebuilding the team that had done so well. Some of their more sensible fans were querying whether he'd lost a bit of heart for it after he'd done the lot and they saw it as a matter of when. Undoubt...

I'm not sure tbh. People keep telling me the likes of Tresor and Amdouni are going to be off but I don't see anyone taking them at the price we're going to want for them. Absolute best case scenario those lads could hope for is a season on loan somewhere where they get in form and get themselves a t...

Was talking to my Mum about this earlier.

Without sounding like Charlie big potatoes, because at very few points in our history have we had the quality that has positioned us as runaway favourites, I think it's fair to say that other than Celtic the SPL really is that bad.

I've had a quick mooch around on Montpellier's forum and the general consensus is that they're going to be furious if he's allowed to leave and that they think he's one of two players that have been the best this season.

They also think 10m-15m is the going rate.

The consensus I’ve seen about Spence is that he thinks he’s a right Charlie Big Potatoes and has quite an abrasive personality.

I’m not sure he’s a good fit. Weghorst mk2 with less pedigree to back it up.

People keep lumping Benson into the cadre of bright young talents that we’ve got. Whilst he’s young in relative terms, he’s 27 early next year.

I know I’m saying nothing new here but again we see that we’re neither hard to beat nor a gung-ho attacking side. We don’t get bodies in the box, we’re reticent to cross, there seems to be a real lack of movement, there’s rarely an incisive pass, our wingers run down blind allies and either give it ...

This is honestly more worrying than people think. If we go down with a whimper, then there will have to be a firesale.

Thought we looked very reasonable in the first half, but have reverted to type in the center back.

I’m no longer surprised with the passiveness/lack of aggression from this iteration of VK’s side. Just a team of nice boys that don’t like tackling or being tackled.

It was offside. They did the line wrong. You could clearly say J-Rods head protruding over the first one they did. So they then clarified it. If they’d have done that within a minute there wouldn’t be as much controversy. For me the issue is that it took 4 minutes and the associated factors it intro...

By the way, it’s absolutely ******* cretinous that people are calling for Kompany’s head after ten games at a higher level after the season we’ve just had.

If we extract the hyperbole and histrionics from the situation he was offside. They drew the line wrong, you could say jrods head past the first one they did, so they did another to be sure. Doesn’t seem as bad when you put it that way but that it took 4 mins to get to that conclusion, the right con...

Trafford ain’t the problem

He’s part of a defence that is averaging 3 goals conceded per game. I am very much in camp Muric and whilst I believe some of the criticism levelled at Trafford is a bit much, he is very much at least part of the problem.

This is a lower mid table Premier League side with several of their first 11 out and we’re getting an absolute chasing. Yet again could be 4/5/6.
