    Definitely, remember practice makes perfect.

    Gary Player: "the more I practice, the luckier I get".

    David Beckham used to be very lucky with his free kicks.

    All loans count regardless of what you do with them, you’re right, there isn’t much point having more than five, but we can if we wanted to, for things like cheap squad depth.

    thats going to be the team for me, the sentiment for Simons et al will be gone when the South American ballers are laying waste to the division, hope we bring in Travis too him alongside both South Americans could be a serious midfield 3.

    looking like smart business Chazz, imagine Hughes kicks on and he goes for 15-20m in a season or so, squad quality/value should only increase year on year from now.

    Yes. But if we had practiced that all the balls would have ended up in rows X Y and Z of an empty stand and the game would be over.
    How can it be a bad thing to practice kicking the ball at the goal?

    They score most shots when they do it in the pre match it clearly doesn’t translate

    Modern football is about maximizing xG by initiating a Low-block, High-press rotation and recycling plays through the lines, whilst using a double pivot to force an overload.


    There's no place for kicking the ball at the goal in a post-Pep environment and thus such outdated action has fallen out of fashion.


    At least, that appears to be the Hull City way.

    I know 3 lads who were at Man Utd with varying degrees of success years ago. They all said the same thing, the first to arrive and the last to leave were always Beckham, Giggs and Scholes. No coincidence, though some people insist there are no such things as coincidences, they all had very long careers at the top. Beckham always asked some of young players to stay behind with him and help him with free kicks. He spent ages doing the same one again and again before moving to a different spot.
    They also said Beckham, Giggs and Scholes were the most welcoming and helpful to the young players.
    Schmeichel was the most standoffish, which was surprising for one of them as he was a keeper. The first day that lad was there as a 16 year old he was looking lost after training and Beckham asked him if he fancied a bite to eat. He thought that is nice of him and expected he would take him to the canteen or a cafe. Instead he took him back to his place where Posh, who had only had Brooklyn recently, rustled them up some food. He only made it as far as playing some reserve games and a place on the bench before being released but had some great memories.

    Sounds like a **** move by Beckham expecting his wife to make him and a teammate a meal.

    Maybe Beckham should have made his teammate a meal and helped Posh out with Brooklyn.

    Thought you had me on ignore? Please put me back on it.

    How misogynistic of you to think women at home these days whilst the husband is at work are incapable of preparing a meal like generations before them did.

    of the fans there

    Show you hard it is to get a striker in this league. Norwich are about to use most of their Rowe money on getting one. £11m for Ante Crnac from Rakow
