Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Ireland good side - I still think Ireland will nick it
Feet in both camps - so impartial
I never think positive

 

As I said our defence has been poor this year...errors put pressure on ourselves way too often.

Been that way for a few years tbh.

 

Sexton is a tough little bastard for a guy that's constantly targeted.

 

So you reckon Spurs and Chelsea have the league sewn up between them for the foreseeable future then?

 

The point beingoing utd spent hugely to buy this over 3 years while we are trying to build from dog ****.

Mourinho's built nothing and leaves little behind him.

Klopp is building a whole new club. If nothing else he's convinced fsg to invest hugely in Kirkby which will be a big legacy.

Not only that he is bringing in as many young lads as he can and whether or not they are good enough taa and woodburn are the first locals in near 10 years to come through.

Watch mourinho break transfer record again this summer. Utd are now all about that

 

He's targetted cos he's likely to be taken out concussed. If the new rules had not come in imo he would have been broken up by the French or Welsh or Ities.

 

Nope. money talks. City and utd will just buy and buy not build anything. A whole generation of manc under age player will get nothing out of it imo.

Oh and obviously lfc will blow past spurs and Chelsea anyway.

We all know spurs will be picked dry shortly.

 

To a point...he's also a bt more influential for us than a general number 10.

It makes sense to target him and he encourages it because he puts himself in there above and beyond at times but his shelf life has to be limited lol

 

The other lad is just too small.. Jackson.

That new no 9 is pretty good. I thought murray being out was huge but this new lad has been huge.

 

Yeah me too...really stepped up.

 

England really should be winning this...much superior squad.

 

My worry is that the All Blacks will target him in the summer for the Lions just as they did to BOD.

 

Going to blow Ireland off scrum and win on pens if nothing else here

 

Yeah...it's an issue..fine line between legal and illegal targeting..

The fact that he gets stuck in while making him a better player also greys the line enough for the opposition to get away with it.

 

All blacks are very dirty and will hit with shoulders and never look high.

He won't survive first test

 

yup...penalties...our a achilles heel...just give away so many unnecessary penalties.

 

Look
Clock is ticking down.


Need a try I think now. But a pen and one possession after could be enough

 

Think Ireland have got everything right so far - not left any space almost Gegenpressed us

 

Ireland are very good at going through the phases when they need to. Old fashioned rugby.
