  1. Diaby comes in. Jesus Christ on a cream cracker.
  2. Lad on Gillette just said we've got Cadamecheri playing for us. New Italian lad?
  3. Tad concerned at the lack of any real creativity there. Probably relying on the wingbacks and perhaps Musaba to do something.
  4. Was a daft decision. BEST TRANSFER WINDOW EVA though according to a minority on here. Not saying Byers is a world beater at this level, but as another option in the squad. Much better than Jeff Hendrick too.
  5. Those people who say they'd rather be in a relegation scrap than a season of mid-table mediocrity should be shot out of a cannon. Hate seasons like this. Dread every matchday.
  6. Huge this one. Bit do or die today lads. 8 cup finals and this one we've got to be winning. Some of our rivals have quite tough games on paper too. Hopefully, the Ipswich debacle was parked there and then and the players are bang up for this one. Got to think they are.
  7. Couldn't make it up. Also a bit sad, as it's clear the lad has got a severe problem.
  8. Bowen is great. Might not be as pleasing on the eye as some, but he's bloody effective.
  9. Won't win a major tournament with a mediocre defence.
  10. Very exciting times. I'm all for Wednesday becoming the next Saudi sport washing project. I particularly like the fact our prospective owner is willing to engage with fans via DM on Instagram and disclose information concerning the bids he has made. It makes a nice change from our current owner who likes to call people idiots and to tell them to sell their house via email.
  11. Yep. Watching on Sky and turning to my mate after about 10 minutes and saying something was off. We looked so lethargic and off it.
  12. I try to not get too caught up in who is a well run club. It's frustrating, but we all know how quickly things can unravel. Imagine Ipswich probably need to get themselves up within the next season or two before the whole FFP thing (or whatever new rules they have implemented by then) kicks in. What I can say with absolute certainty is our owner is absolute crap and we've completely unravelled to the point they'd need an air accident investigator to put it back together again.
  13. Tbf, England stacking it against a top side at a tournament has been going on for ages, long before Southgate rocked up. How many top sides have England put to the sword at a major tournament since say 1990? We battered the Dutch at Euro 96 in the groups. Lost to Portugal numerous times. Italy always have our number, the French, Uruguay. Brazil in 2002. Beat Germany in 2021, but then they have been in decline ever since winning the WC in 2014. Let's be honest that Italy side we lost to in the final was nothing special really. Struggled to qualify for major tournaments since the beat us.
  14. Southgate isn't terrible, but I don't think he's the man who will win you a major tournament. Good at qualifying, navigating the group stages etc. Clear he is a good man manager and has done a good job of turning England into more of a team than a bunch of individuals. Still, I suspect he'll be found wanting again at the critical moment.
