Apologies if this has been posted previously, as I haven't time to read back through yesterday's posts, but parts of this article really say what needs t be said - http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter...-we-have-is-in-the-future-and-not-in-the-now/ I really agree with this statement - "The bulk of the squad will be made of what I think of as the new Norwich. Young players such as Godfrey, Matthews, Murphy, Lewis, Phillips, and Cantwell, combined with the recently arrived contingent such as Zimmermann, Trybull, Stiepermann, Vrancic, Husband and Raggett who are paid a far more modest and affordable wage than their predecessors" and I'm hoping that in a few months Josh can learn t be a decent player again.
And so the 'Merry-go-Round' continues - Frank de Boer & Slaven Bilic in frame to be new Swansea City manager!! Mark Hughes could be in the frame by next year IMO
This "is it a dive, is it a pen, it's contact" is doing my head. The pundits have said "it's a clear pen." "there is contact, why shouldn't he go down to win his side a pen" They then said "he's not going to shoot or score from the angle he's tapped the ball to, so why not go down if you can win a pen!?" .....WHAT!? So, you mean: why shouldn't he dive if he can get a pen!? Idiots. It doesn't matter if there is contact! That wasn't a pen! The rules for diving is if you have done something to imply something has happened that hasn't. There is no way brushing against the defenders knee would have toppled him. He left his leg so it would get brushed then he dived coz he wasn't getting to the ball. If we are doing "if there's contact, then it's a pen", then don't ban the lower league players who leave a trailing leg to get touched. It's the same thing. All this retrospective action has made this rule a sham. It's back to "if it's a top 6 side, it's a pen. If it's a lower league side it's a ban"
Anyone else think that Charlie Austin's ban should start from when he's fit to play? The fact that he is injured makes a mockery of the punishment imo
Bloody hell! 1) I thought the transactions between these 2 were dead after the history. 2) That's an insane fee. He is a class CB, but Jesus.... that is so much money for a guy who hasn't played well since the first transfer attempt happened in the summer. I don't know if hes had a good game this season... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42496637 Edit- They need a CB like him. If they can make the finances work. I think this is a class buy. I think he fits Klopps plans perfectly. He seems a passionate player. That fee for him though.....that is insane!
So Messi is worth £300M but Van Djik is not worth £75M in your opinion? Have you not noticed the vulgar amount of money floating around the game, a player is worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for him, your valuation means nothing
.....I’ve never said Messi is worth anything. Let alone “300M”. I’d say he’s not worth that. No human football player ever would be.
The way you don’t think before you jump to the opposite position just to try to wind people up. That.
Are you suggesting that everyone is allowed an opinion bar me? Doesn't seem very fair! btw have you noticed how much busier our little forum has been since I butted in on your rant?
Thanks for such an elaborate explanation, such cutting edge analysis is very welcome Happy new year Neil and Dunc
The reward for perceived failure in this stoopid sport of ours! "Only in the world of football management would a manager be sacked by a miss-performing Championship club, then swiftly emerge as the scorching hot favourite for a Premier League post." http://www.thesackrace.com/news/28t...os-carvalhal-shock-favourite-for-swansea-post [Lambert favourite to take over at Sheff Weds, too]
Didn’t really have time to go into much depth. Being dragged around the sales by my better half. Happy New Year Dave. Hope you had a good Christmas mate.
