    Not really ... they've been beaten when they set up more offensively. When they set up more defensively, against what they see as better teams, they have managed to get something from the games ... with the exception of Citeh ... who are just very good. <cheers>

    they went for it today, less pressure. Were very defensive against Everton at home. It’s because of our away record. It makes teams shut up shop.

    What the actual **** is this away kit? The neo-Nazis play in blue so they choose to wear grey to play at a team mostly in white. The kitman should be shot in front of his kids.

    You're probably not old enough to know or remember Gary Sprake...

    Ewan Gillies: What we have learned from Tuchel after two and a half games is that he doesn't know who his best players are and what is his best system. We do know though, it's not producing goals

    Sacked by Xmas latest

    What we've learned from Ewan Gillies is that Tuchel is not Frank and not English.

    Yeh sacked by Xmas.

    Mount scores and Southgate has already forgotten Foden.

    Never heard of the bloke.. I did laugh at those though and the 1st one in particular. I can remember bruce grobbelar making a few dreadful mistakes in my early years as a fan.

    I was just having a read of his wiki page, didn't realise he had died (aged 71) - he had to retire at 30 due to a back injury.

    I think Sprake was in the Revie Leeds team, that dominated football back then. And although prone to the ocassional blunder, was a decent keeper. It was good watching the youtube clip back, doing what keepers don't seem to do that often these days, catch the ball - but considering some of his errors, it maybe explains why.

    Didn't Grobbelar get done for match fixing?

    Sprake played for Don Revie, who I also believe was accused of match fixing.

    When playing against Newcastle iirc so @captain wrong may have an understandably distorted view of his abilities.

    (think it was a 3-0 win we had against them)
