Re: Plymouth v Leicester

Earlier this season, Michael Duff, when still manager at Swansea, said that Leicester were a much better side than we were last season. At the time, the points they'd won from the games they'd played suggested they would get beyond our 101, at one point even 120 looked likely. But this Leicester tea...

Re: ARTICLE: Estève was our best in Everton defeat

I think so. Keane got dropped for Duff in that first season, who I'd say was probably about 35 or 36. I don't think Esteve would ever have had that problem. Tarkowski was sat on thr bench as well waiting for Keane to leave. But when he did play he looked pretty ropey. Keane had to wait a while for ...

Hell of a talent. A lot better than Keane and Tarkowski were when they first came to the Premier League and I guess he's younger too.
Really?

On ages, yes younger than Tarky but just about the same age as Keane was when we signed him.
