The Premier League Thread

It's bollocks. Ralph I believe is the 5th or 6th highest paid manager in the PL.

 

If that is true, we do need to be paying him a chunk more.

Imagine being Solskjaer and blagging that salary!

 

8th actually.
Earns more than Lampard.

I've doubts about it's accuracy but I'm still tempted to go and post on the Toon board to cheer them up

 

You know you want to

 

Thanks Tom. That makes me feel a bit easier!!

 

In fairness they may argue we do the same with Pierre. He has been very good for them - much more than a £15m player - yet we don't care because he wasn't spectacular for us, not even our best CM, and haven't missed him.

We judge Pierre for his time with us / our form since he left - I suppose Spurs fans are doing the same with KWP.

 

How much did we offer Ron, £3m a year? and he went to Everton for double that.

 

But ultimately, in the main we fully accept that everyone has won out of this. Both players, both clubs, both sets of fans. Whereas I really don't think that Spurs fans see it that way - some of them just think that they've screwed us right over, and that's all there is to it.

 

We will just have to finish above them then, either that or knock them out of the FA Cup.

 

TBH don't really care what they think. All I know is we're better off this season than last season with KWP being a huge upgrade at RB and Romeu playing so well.

 

Mario Lemina and Harrison Reed in the Fulham midfield.

 

And Everton lead already.

 

That's a really nice goal from Fulham.

 

Its weird watching Lemina - it is important that he does well as it will be easier to move him on, but I cant help but enjoy seeing him f*ck up

 

Fulham are disastrous. But equally, Everton are a different beast with Richarlison back. We got very fortunate to avoid him (and Coleman).

 

When do we play Fulham? The game after Parker has been sacked presumably?

 

And Man United got very very fortunate to avoid those two and Digne.

Edit: ignore this Digne played that game.

 

Don't think Parker can take too much blame for their performances this season and it would make no difference who was in charge. He did well to get them up via the play-offs and they still have a championship squad. Can't see anyone keeping them up.

 

More importantly, that’s enough goals from Everton I think.
