    Cos he's **** bud. Tried telling everyone at the start of last season that he won't make it at Leeds. Farke said its up to him to force himself in to Oxfords squad. He is not injured.

    (That was another prediction I got right.)

    Listen to the Interview and you'll see the reasoning behind it

    Agree with you. You play your natural goal scorer upfront <ok>
    Piroe reminds me of Lee Chapman and Mark Viduka, looks ungainly and slow but can finish. I just can’t get my head around a coach that wants his forward to be able to press better than he can score goals (I would say call me old school in this but have been warned off once already <laugh>)

    As long as we are winning I'm fine with it.

    I'm not sure a few of the Farke fans will be behind him if we keep missing sitters and drop in to mid table.

    As good as Rutter is, he doesn't inspire confidence in front of goal at the moment.

    Looking at that performance today you have to say that our worst players were rated as 7 performers and our best players were 9s so a great performance just missing a few more deserved goals.

    Archie Gray superstar, Rutter superstar and he would have been a Perfect 10 today if he hadn’t have missed a sitter but his performance was still a 9

    So Wayne Rooney has left DC United with immediate effect. He went out on a high after beating LA Galaxy 2-0 and Klich got on the scoresheet again. Expect to see Messi back at Barcelona on loan in January as Inter Miami have no chance of making the play offs now.

    Did anyone see the shythousery text on Wednesday from Klich? Brilliant as usual as he responded to all the QPR fans wanting Bamford hanged, he tweeted something about hope Bamford is ok after that assualt <laugh>

    One player we all seem to have forgotten about is Leo Hjelde who can play LB and LCB, but obviously not in Farke’s plans. Must be being sold in Jan

    In a different sport what an absolute load of rubbish between Ireland and Scotland in the overhyped World Cup. Eight teams in it and takes months to play with endless meaningless games

    Had a discussion within the family last night based upon how big sports fans, like me have walked away from test cricket, any cricket, formula 1, Ruby Union etc. consensus is pay for view? I lost interest in F1 when Hamilton was cheated out of the championship so refuse to watch especially after the dodgy rule changes. In Union I have no idea about the new rules that bore me to death. The ruling bodies of all these sports only care about cash so try and extend the teams, countries who can enter. We have a World Cup in football which is going to be played on 2 continents….

    International break not really a break for most of our lads.

    Rodon (Wales)
    Ampedu (Wales)
    James (Wales)
    Cooper (Scotland)
    Kamara (Finaland)
    Gruev (Bulgaria)
    Gray (19's)
    Joseph (20's)
    Gyabi (20's)
    Cresswell (21's)
    Klaesson (U21's)
    Hjelde (U21's)

    This means there is no prospect of Farke doing any meaninful team training regarding shape and systems over the next 2 weeks and can only really focus on individual technical aspects as well as some R&R for older players like Byram.

    If there is a more skillful or faster team sport in the world feel free to point it out. My local team in county senior final today with a bunch of lads flat out playing for their local clubs. I can be absolutely guaranteed it’ll be way better than anything I’ll see at Elland road or any other sky football stadia

    Many sports are no longer sports. They are businesses. Sporting integrity has to be compromised with the amount of money within sporting structures today. It may not always be a match being fixed but certainly certain 'businesses' gain financial advantages that are transferred directly in to sports results. Many other 'businesses' are held back from building to the top.

    It is what it is.

    That’s why fully amateur sports are so much more enjoyable
