If I see more Winks-Skipp-Hojbjerg midfields, he can come (back) to us!

 

Confirmed:


I think Hughton's major problem is the negativity of his style of play. Doesn't sit well with many.
I'm sure he'll continue to get jobs in the Championship or lower levels, though.
Might do a better job going back to being an assistant and helping out a more attacking manager.
It's sad to see him getting progressively harder jobs and then being shipped out.

 

Very sad news.
Strange that it took so long to give him an MBE, but it's nice that he got to collect it before passing away.

 

Very sad, especially how ill he was for the last years of his life. Someone I never saw play, but was clearly one the absolute elite players.

 

Just a little bit ott

 

Defoes' marriage proposal has been disallowed, due to him being a foot offside.

I was so NOT a fan of his by the time he left, but showing this form makes me regret he's not still with us.

 

Some of those passes were out of Eriksen’s book! I mean Danny was a great LB for a spell with us but I don’t ever remember him hitting pings like that! Good for him though, I think that may have been his first league start too as Masina had been getting the nod previously, if that montage was a reflection of his whole performance then I doubt Masina will be getting back in anytime soon.

 

I hope Rose has got back on track...his humility in his final season suggests he has.
Just a shame he lost out to his rampant ego for 3 or 4 years.

 

Luke Amos made his return from injury after almost a year out for QPR. They won 8-7 on penalties and he took QPR’s penultimate one before Everton’s Davies missed and then Dunne scored the winning one. Good to see him back and hopefully he can steer clear of further injuries, been pretty plagued by them in the past and it’s halted the development of what was/ is a pretty promising player.

 

At the age where being a "bombing down the wing" attacking LB
is not a 90 min option week in week out, attempting those kind of
passes to have similar effect may be a sign of maturing on-pitch.

 

Pretty sure we all knew what we had there, to be honest.

 

I take it they didn't have the character limit for "You don't know what you've got until it's tapped-up yet tries to portray itself as the victim in all of it, gone into steep physical decline to the point he requests to move to a more sedate league, or gets tapped-up but whoever did the tapping-up didn't have the courtesy to make a bid and shattered his confidence so nobody was happy"?

 

Three of the penalty takers were Spurs academy graduates and they all scored.
Amos and Dominic Ball for QPR and Townsend for Everton.
Amos came on for Andre Dozzell too, son of Jason.

 

Just seen the news that Joe Kinnear is suffering from dementia, I got to know Joe very well in the late 60s early 70s as one of my uncles was married to one of Joe's sisters , he lived at home with his mother and I would pass the house on my way home from school and got to know what cars the players had
Many a time I would stop and ask for autographs on programmes I carried with me , often Pat Jennings , Phil Beal , Cyril Knowles and Mike England would be there for tea and sandwiches which Joe's mum brought out in a never ending supply , good luck Joe
Joe's house was painted the same colours as the lane at the time , white and light blue , back hander to the maintenance team perhaps
