    Chris wood 10 in 15 games.

    Isak and Harvey Barnes 11 between them in 28.

    And people wonder why Howe will win nowt.

    Wood has been brilliant of late but that comparison means nowt - Isak is unbelievable, one of the best forwards on the planet.

    He is class like. A big club will be on the sniff in January. Going to cost a fortune for him mind.

    Scores all sorts of goals and still very young. But yeah, arsenal of Liverpool should go and get him.

    A top keeper isn’t a keeper who makes a lot of saves, he’s a keeper who doesn’t make many mistakes.

    Whatever the stats say, and for all he does make some really eye catching saves, the ‘mistakes’ element make him a really poor keeper.

    I will be gobsmacked if Amorim isn’t already grafting to get Diogo Costa.

    If you’re looking for mistake free from a keeper you’ll be looking a long time, mind. Seen some absolute howlers from Ederson and Allison in the past year.

    Anyway, Manchester’s chaos club have bigger issues than their keeper. They’ve seemingly just got rid of their DoF. Ashworth was on gardening leave longer than he was in position:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Just hope they don’t now come sniffing for Speakers:emoticon-0105-wink:

    Oh aye even the best make mistakes. This lads mistake count is way bigger than any of those though.

    Man U are in a total mess and it sounds like a load of arguments and fall out behind the scenes there.

    Someone made a point a couple of weeks ago about Jim Ratcliffe and his involvement with Team Sky cycling. In 8 years before he took over, Team Sky won 7 out of 8 Tour de France titles and multiple other Grand Tours (Chris Froome held all three, TDF, vuelta Espana and Giro Di Italia at the same time) and were the powerhouse of international cycling. Since he took over they've gradually slipped back and top cyclists have been leaving them to join other teams. I'm not saying it's a certainty to happen at Man U, but maybe he's not the brilliant leader they want and that they'll flounder around for a while yet.

    Nice are a bit of a shambles as well.

    The ticket price increases announced last week were shocking. £66 for a kid!

    I saw that and laughed as well mate.

    It's funny that clubs like Man Utd keep wasting millions then demand more to waste from TV companies, etc.

    I've no idea what makes Jim Ratcliffe believe he's qualified to run a massive football club with no prior experience.

    Just another ego trip for a bored businessman imo.

    I have to say all this 'holding hands up to mouths' to hide what you're saying is pathetic and cowardly <doh>

    'There are some problems on both flanks for Sheffield United.

    West Brom have certainly been the better side so far.'

    Want WBA v Sheff Utd to finish as a draw. I think WBA will go on to win this now though, Sheff Utd have a really makeshift back 4
