??? Traditional numbering is derived from the Victorian 235 formation. The numbers got moved around a bit following the shift to WM and then again when teams started using a flat back four (whether that was 442 or 433) from about the 60s onwards. The terms Centre Forward and Striker are used interchangeably s both are the plauer furthest up the pitch, but if you make a distinction a Centre Forward is generally the type of player to hold the ball up (but not necessarily a goal scorer) and a Striker is more of goalscorer.
Actually pissing myself off how calm I am about things today should I be stressed or should I just see what happens I dunno!
Promotion to the premier league for me has become about banking the parachute payments and not doing anything to **** up the long term of the club. Securing safety would be a bonus
Alcohol tends to dull the senses mate...my fridge has been open for a while and may well require some topping up later...depending on how things go!
I’ve been out all day so far which probably helps, about to crack a bottle open in the garden now though, hopefully be toasting a new signing soon!
It's all very well copping the TV money but it's almost all spent on new players and ludicrous wages.
I’d rather survive and build, **** being a yo-yo club Anyway, hopefully this is a discussion we’re having in 8 months time. Means nothing now.
And our fanbase is unlikely to be forgiving of a season that ultimately ends in relegation. The ambition whores would be foaming.
Aye,but survival can be expressed in different ways. When we go up,we need a team to compete in mid-table,not scrapping away at the bottom,hoping another team is worse.
that’s why I think what Ipswich are doing is super smart. Either they stay up and get another £150m to spend how they want, or they go down and have a ready made top championship side without needing to sell.
Teams do step up though. Leicester did, Villa. We aren’t Bournemouth or whatever we COULD do something in the PL in time.
