    Cristian Romero

    Levy would have got a better price for him which was the upside of his approach (when we did manage to sell). The downside is that he would have held to the last minute, never signed Senesi or Van Hecke, and we'd have been scrambling around for a replacement. The downside of "just go out and...

    The Centre Forward thread

    Richi's control is abysmal and his finishing often isn't great. Look at his goal v Liverpool as an example, it was a complete mibrick/scuff. Richi has attributes but he's technically awful. Not sure Balogun is much of an upgrade though.

    Pedro Porro

    He’s not the best right back in the world. He’s great on the ball but still has his faults defensively and some of them are pretty basic. I’m still delighted we have him. People last season questioning his effort needed to give their head a wobble. Porro has always worn his heart on his sleeve...

    Pre Season Thread

    I really don’t think some people appreciate this. They’ve come back from the other side of the world this week. They’re bound to feel that and all the “well, they travel in luxury” or “boo hoo, look at what they earn” doesn’t change that. They’re not robots. Only time to judge results is when...

    Pre Season Thread

    If anyone is getting upset about pre season they need to have a word with themselves. It means less than fudge all. That said, I saw BBC’s main headline in the week was about how Liverpool were in trouble because they shipped 4 second half goals to Leeds despite the fact they played the second...

    Is Gascoigne Going To Have a Crack? The Spurs nostalgia PODCAST

    As if that wasn’t jaw dropping enough, mentioning him in the same breath as Rodri was a head scratcher. I liked Howells but he was in no way, shape or form anything like Rodri stylistically or in terms of ability.

    Gracias Senor. Over a decade on this board and I've just learned something new...

    Cristian Romero

    Can't find the original post to like but it's a pretty good reading of how Levy did business. I'm a massive Levy-defender but his aversion to risk was a definite barrier to us progressing particularly over the last 7 years or so. The man laid great foundations, for which I'll always be...

    Antonin Kinsky

    He's very good with the ball at his feet but he got very lucky with at least one of them in that compilation. 2 or 3 of the saves were outstanding. I'd still have a big question mark over him on shot stopping particularly from distance though. On the mentality thing, obviously he is resilient...

    Pushing Up The Daisies

    A man made famous over here 20 years ago by Eamon Dunphy’s famous rant defending Roy Keane.

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    It's such a clusterfudge driven by greed and arrogance seemingly. I'm actually interested to see what the proposal is and contains. I guess I'll strongly oppose it because if people are investing, they expect a return and that completely changes the focus of whoever is actually making the...

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    Concacaf have now rejected the proposal and say they're losing or have lost confidence in Infantino. This is falling apart faster than the Super League. I'm actually quite interested to see the nuts and bolts of the proposal. I can't imagine I'll like it or my opinion will change but it's an...

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    You know, this is one of the most distasteful parts of those whole thing. Any nation who supports the proposal gets a payment. That's a f**king shocking way to run the organisation. It's not an impartial vote based on what associations believe is right for the game. On the other side, FIFA will...

    Sunday League Dreams (thread for those still playing football)

    It could be a different conversation on its own but my experience is that they are being overcoached a bit. Individualism is disappearing because kids are encouraged to not lose the ball at all costs. To make an extreme statement to illustrate the point, I often wonder if it's worth missing...
